I was at Awsome GTI in manchester today , to have the car on the rollers, (I went with the Briskoda club... I used to own a fabia vRS)
it's mapped by angel tuning, they did a good, efficient job, car felt a world better after the map, but the power is down on what I expected.....
the RR was good and acurate, most of the standard fabia vRS's gave 140bhp (which the PD130 does tend to give) one SE had a standard figure of 155bhp!!
the remapped furby's gave between 160-180 bhp , depending on the map and other mods, a civic diesel (quoted by Honda at 140bhp) gave 138.5bhp completely standard with only 3,000 miles on it, so I figure the RR was acurate...
my figures were 157.56bhp and 279.52lbs/ft...
heres the graph, quite pleased with it as it gives a constant 150bhp ish for most of the useful rev range, so very constant power....
BUT I still expected 170bhp.... got the p|ss taked by my brisky mates, some of who's fabia's came close to that power WITHOUT a map!
here's the graph.....
if Nige from Angel reads this, I'd like a comment... if he can find himself near me in the lakes one day and wants to pop by to check averythings OK , I'd appreciate it!
car runs perfect, feels fast, and is great fun to drive........
still a bit miffed with the figures though!
