As above,

Im trying to find out if anyone has proved celtics claims for power from ther generic map on anything other than celtics own RR.

Im just confused why no one else can get close with generic or custom maps.

Thank you in advance

A rolling road can be shown to show any result you like, depends on how it's calibrated. They can only be trusted to show a difference between before and after, therefore regardless to whether it was independant if you get a before reading and then an after and the RR is set to the same calibration all is good.

It was me that had the standard map on my previous 06' Civic and the 197 bhp remap done on Celtics RR on my current car. Here is the thread http://www.civinfo.com/forum/engine...s-and-transmission/28838-celtic-tuning-custom-remap.html?highlight=celtic+remap

I had my 06' Civic independently rolling roaded at Power Engineering in Uxbridge. It came out at 192 bhp.

I have no doubt that Celtic Tunings claimed power outputs are very accurate. Obviously, no two cars are exactly the same as standard. Furthermore, as previously pointed out, no two rolling roads are the same.

Celtics Dastec rolling road in Cornwall is one of the most modern and accurate rolling roads in the country.

i had my civic remapped @ p-torque a few weeks back and they also did a rolling road before and after,

standard my car was bang on 150bhp and after the remap it was 180.2bhp

one thing i would say is, the pull and acceleration in 4th gear is stunning, its dose around 90/94mph in 4th gear, coming off slips roads and onto the motorwway has never been so fun!

if you look at the rpm for the gear change you will see that there isnt much left to go but from the same thread the standard 2.2 at just before the limiter in 3rd now unless you change the box how can you go any faster in the same gear??

By taking the revs from the 1st gear change point (not the rev limiter) of 4670 and and multiplying by the mph per revolution in 3rd gear gives you 81 mph. Not sure at what revs the limiter cuts in at so can't give you the exact figure.

Just found this http://www.civinfo.com/forum/engines-and-transmission/12759-rev-limiter.html thread that suggests the rev limiter does not come in till over 5000 RPM. At 5000 RPM with the gearing off the info you have attached would equate to 87 MPH in 3rd gear, and if, as one person on the thread suggests that the limiter is actually set at 5500 RPM that would equate to over 90 MPH in 3rd gear.

gentlemen i humbly apologise my car will achieve 85mph in 3rd gear and may have actually gone further but mechanical sympathy prevented it. It certainly isnt the best way to drive it to achieve maximum acceleration but it is possible. im now going to bake a custard pie for my face...........

The figures give you an opportunity to check RPM vs MPH.
See what the RPM says you actually are doing...
..compare to what the speedo kids you, that you are doing :cool:
