just been having a proper look through the bumph that i got with me car , and have found a rolling road graph from last owner showing
max power 206BHP@5973 rpm [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
max torque 194lbft@5173rpm [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
all i am aware of maggie havin done is a courtney panel filter and a powerflow back box
is this any good she has done 176000 miles and is a 1996 car??
I am quite impressed as i believe this is very close to the power when new?

Similar to factory quoted figures. Though it is said that the factory figures are pessimistic.
Even so, good figures :y

Proven 228bhp on a car that has done 124k ish, and is in need of a good service, and thats without using any high octane fuel (optimax or similar), so i would say not bad ;D
And before the 'all rolling roads are different' arguements start on the same day an Astra coupe and a VX220, both standard 2.2s, returned figures with 1 bhp of book, and an Astra VXR came in at +2bhp over book

how about ease of fitment , bearing in mind i tried to change a switch bulb and ended up melting the blue plastic and solder into one yukky mess [smiley=huh.gif]??

HOW MUCH BHP WITH IT :o
Its soooooo nice to know i have the best of both worlds.

Tyreburner, and Tina.
I can recommend the Mtek chip, nice upgrade, and I will be fitting another one (or 2) very shortly to the current Omegas.
Definite improvement in power, and no loss on the economy side either. :)

Interesting....I suspect the multiram is not fully functional at the moment as the low end grunt is quite down.
-
It's almost a carbon copy of the readout from my old Senator when the DR wasn't working properly. The sharp hike when the butterfly opens looks like a fault with the valves
-
uh lost me .. i think dr means dual ram how /what do i have to check to find out why she aint as fast as she should be lol
-
Blip the engine whilst looking at the front and then the rear multiram vac actuators (see maintenance section for more multiram info) and check they are moving and free (they should move quite quickly)

Mark, That's no guarantee they'll work under load. The vacuum resrvoir on my Senny was at fault. While it operated with no gear engaged, it didn't work while travelling as there wasn't enough vacuum generated by the induction system for it to work until much further up the rpm range.

Shouldnt that be rear then front???
Its the way work on both my Omegas ;)
