Twingo GT Dyno Day!
Discussion
As I've had the twingo for just a bit over 4 years, and curiosity really, I decided to have a go on a rolling road. (I've wanted to go on one for ages).
The car is standard as far as I know. Its still on its original exhaust, all filters / service parts are Renault's oem and the spark plugs are the proper oem NGK ILKAR7A7. It gets a full service every 12 months, at Christmas time.
Running V-power petrol, and Millers nanodrive 5w40 oil. Car has approximately 59500 miles (30 odd thousand with me) and it will be 8 years old next month.
On paper, from Renaults info it makes 100bhp and 145nm (107 ft/ lbs) of torque. Its a 1.2 tce 100 (basically the old 1149cc single cam 16v engine that has been around for donkey years, with a little turbo bolted on.
My result was..
I wasn't expecting that.
The guys tested it 3 times, it came up with the same result every time. So, think its been remapped at some point in its life?
