Went down to minisport in padiham/burnley to enquire about the rolling road and ended up having a power run on it.
the xe has been in about 4-5 weeks now, its still running rough as you cans see in the graph(flat spots) but it put out

157.5bhp
129.0bhp at the wheels
138 lbf-ft of torque

the guy operating the rolling road was quite impressed, and so was i he said to try changing the fuel filter to get rid of the flat spots, changed that today and its not any better so going to get it on the diagnostics soon to see if that throws anything up.
standard xe by the way.



Red = Torque
Pink = Norm power
Blue = Wheel output
Green = Drag output




the car is half flatted at the moment ready for buffing soon then the paintwork will be finished, and for all the people who hated my smoked black rear lights this is for you>>>

Torques quite low. What size bore exhaust system are you using out of interest? (I think mines low on torque due to the 2" bore I use).

If its a standard XE (bar filter and zorst) then i don't think u'll make much more peak power, but mid range will be better.

Steve of course, if you've not seen it it can't be true. All RR's are exactly the same and give the exact same power every time..... You dipstick.

20xe is 155 - 145lb ft
c20xe is 150 - 143lb ft
