i just took my formula sport to a cruise west cumbria dyno day and totally suprised with what i got.
The standard fs is 100bhp and with my bmc-cda and a powerflow catback i was expecting 105 may 110:D if i was lucky but i ended up with a first run of 130bhp and second of 131.4bhp and127.7 ib-ft of torque:drool:

the standard airbox looks really restrictive so the cold air feed really does work a treat and im jumping foe joy with the new figures

Looking at previous posts it would appear to be a 1.4 petrol

The most powerful 1.4 petrol on SCN by the looks of it..............................

lucky person, you would notice if your 1.4 was 130bhp mind... would own quite a lot of cars. I would get it whacked on another dyno to make sure, but fair play ! probably the best figures from a N/A 1.4 in pritty standard form!

:D

Meet up with another 1.4 owner and have a play! TBH with the mods you have it is a little high, would be expecting 115hp.

For the mk4 ibiza it is but the arosa drivers have got up to 130+hp also albeit with a few more engine mods.

yeh as said, seems awfully high, no-one is trying to put you down but for a 1.4 that is pretty fast, but well played if its rite enuf.

it was at the JDM dyno in kirkbride, der was a few cars which have tested on other dyno's and got the same results there aswell so im guessing that it was an accurate test. its not a derv it a 1.4 petrol and i was guessing that i would make no where near that..so i was jumping round for joywhen i seen the results. as far as having a toy with other cars ive said goodbye to 1.6 astra's and focuses on many of occasions but i dont wanna say to much cause you lot with like 200bhp will abuse me, lol but its a nippy 1.4 tho!

if you want too see the dyno graph then here's a link on my bebo= http://www.bebo.com/PhotoAlbumBig.jsp?MemberId=170809264&PhotoAlbumId=2772099379&PhotoId=8776166475

Your ibiza should see of 1.6 astra and focus, im near enough dead on with my mate in his 1.6 focus and I have less power than you.

That's a bit extreme for an air filter! :think:

Fair shout though - I'm not disbuting what you're saying. I know I had mine on the rollers near me and it came out at 158bhp with a remap (admittedly mines a derv) but I then had it re-remapped and it was ALOT more pokey - went on a dyno at GTI international and it came out at 160bhp. It all varies on the rolling road tbh.

F*ck me! Best get myself down to powerflow sharpish! Maybe BMC is in order instead of a green filter?!
