Hi All,
Looking for some experiances here. I’ve got a friend who runs a full modern spec rally escort. He recently received a 2.4 duratec from and VERY reputable builder. The engine produced 320bhp and 225ft/lb in the dyno cell. With the engine is in the car, it’s been in for remapping by again, a VERY reputable mapper.
Now the engine is in the car it’s making 284bhp and 197ft/lbs, I think we all understand that an engine dyno is the absolute perfect condition for making power, and in car there are realities like an inner wing and full exhaust that with affect power.
My question/comments to him are, would you expect to lose as much as 35bhp and 30ft/lb? It seems a large amount for the sake of getting it into the car. Or is there something in the setup that damaging a great engine? Exhaust manifold (Simpson) or something similar?
thanks guys
