I know they're standard as 45bhp supposedly

but the new Total Vaux has one on the rolling road which got 65bhp with a backbox and drilled airbox???

Mine's got a Peco backbox and panel airfilter and doesn't seem that much faster

discuss

why do people think rolling roads are accurate? they can be accurate'ish but most places dont calibrate them properly

i would only listen if the dyno was dyno dynamics or maha and the place was reputable

the only way an N/A 12NZ could reach 65bhp was with the fuel injection removed and eco crap and replaced with carbs.

saying that, its not necessarily the rolling roads fault, and inexperienced operator can cause innacuracy.

Iv seen some places that think you need to slow a car down on the RR by using the brakes

Engines likely been replaced at some point in its life, a guy I know has a 1.4 8v and the only diff with my 1.2 8v is the alternator belt is different and he has power steering
