Thread: The rangie's got the all clear to go and play

Well folks, I've been given the all clear from the engine builder/tuner today as the Rangie has been properly tuned since the full rebuild (see below)

http://www.aulro.com/afvb/gclro-gene...-now-guyg.html

figures are
168hp at rear wheels
677ftlb

This is on a rear wheel dyno, front wheels lifted with centre diff lock on. (Car has 31" muddies and a ZF gearbox - if that makes a difference). John is happy with how it has come up. He said if he had to put a figure on it during the build up it would have been around 155hp.

Interestingly enough these figures are close to what the P76 in my old two door were before its rusty demise.

See you on the tracks

That is an "at the wheels" figure and can not be compared to any other vehicle on any other dyno. It bears almost no relation to the output of the engine as it is affected by the overall gearing.
