There is nothing wrong with "sticking it" on a ISO standardized device and obtaining a certified measurement to correlate the present drive feel with corrected measurement data if you were in a position where you did not have the means to work this out. This also has the added benefit of being used to impress mates. And there is nothing wrong with that too
.But this car was not made to chase a target BHP as is mistakenly done by many an enthusiast. The aims of this exercise was to have a fast responding vehicle using as much existing hardware as was possible. The benchmarks for drive feel were GOLFs Mk1 9A 16vK (low boost 140kPa), MK2 16v ABF M/S and a MK2 ABF 16vK( high boost 195kPa).
Data and lessons learned from this exercise can be used on my Mk1 Golf with a 16v KR. Here the KR cams have a different base vol eff than the ADL/ACE units and will have a different torque curve with the same charger pressure differential of 165kPa.
The torque shape can be generated using an accelerometer to verify any oddities thrown up from mapping or hardware. This can be also accompanied with datalogged recorder files with engine I/O sensor actuators. The shape will be identical to any dyno just not having the same values we are accustomed to see.
Hope you understand the picture.
As said to mork the WOT curves will be put up here which shows before and after. These curves can be used to correlate to whatever dyno shop is chosen to measure the car.
