Just curious as to what power your Tuscan's are putting out if they have been dyno'd

Mine was done a couple of months back & is producing 349 hp & 312 ft lb which I thought was pretty good. It's standard apart from decats.

Engine size / model type and milage would be nice to compare the figures.

Engine size + modifications ie decat, cans,air box, model type and milage would be nice to compare the figures.

Impressive how much a standard engine can provide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would prefer a remap to save costs.
4.3 looks too low for my understanding!!

The 4.3 would be at the wheels & the 3.6 at the flywheel add/deduct 15% for a more accurate comparison.

Hi Uwe

My readings are at the wheels, not fly. Using the RWHP divided by 85 X 100 = formula, you get 424 BHP, and 408 torques.
Its certainly quicker than it was!

Cheers

Yes it would be useful. 4.0 (not S), 2003, 42k miles. Figures at the flywheel I'm assuming.

Mk1 Tuscan Std - 296 bhp, 290 lb/ft @ hubs.



Very happy with the torque, think power
could have been higher but I asked
them not to rev it too high. The engine
had about 38k miles on it since a
factory rebuild in 2002.
It's still 341 bhp at the fly using the above conversion. Not bad really!

2006 Tuscan 2S, 200 cell sports cats, TVR power chip, otherwise standard. 326bhp at rear wheels on TVR power's dyno. (384bhp using same formula)

Can't remember torque figure but both were slightly higher than same car on same dyno with decats.

It's very quick with a lot of power for an 1100kg car. 4.3 must be wild!
