Rolling road figures for standard 3.6 T350

[rico23]

Just interested to know what power figures anyone has got with a standard T350 3.6 speed six on a rolling road.

As far as i know mine is standard other than an RG sports exhaust, no rebuild 2005 model with 42,000 miles. I took it to Surrey Rolling Road where it achieved 360.1 bhp at fly, 299.5 at wheels and 280 torque at fly.

I was quite happy with that and Surrey Rolling Road thought it was good, or this about right? Be interested to hear what others thought and had achieved.

An accurate rule of thumb for T cars is "(At wheels +10) + 15%" so yours is 355.5 which is good and shows it's been serviced well.

Sorry! I'm a precion Engineer working to 1000's of an inch, 5 BHP is a huge amount to me and if I was out by this margin on my calculations I would be sacked.

I was just going to edit it but I'll leave it and blame it on Dyslexia.

To be honest, it sounds good. I really wouldn't have thought that many 3.6 engines make anywhere near 300 at the wheels without having had work done.

This is based on the fact that any number published by TVR was generally very, shall we say, 'punchy'.

My guess is that most are nearer to 250 than 300.

True Surrey Rolling Road did say the engine was nicely run in after 42,000 miles.

348 at the flywheel when I had mine

FWIW: most, if not all 3.6 S6 engines seem to be on the button. The 4l appear to be a lot more variable. The RV8s all appear to have been optimistic as do the Essex V6s. The 4.2 AJP V8s tend to vary and the 4.5s appear to be optimistic.

In short 300 at the wheels which is about 350 at the fly is what should generally be expected for a healthy 3.6 S6.

Excellent, mine should be nicely run in by now!

Mine made 360.6 bhp and 283 FtLb with 43k on the clock. 299 at the wheels. This was also at Surrey Rolling Road.

Last year after they had sorted the misfire max power at the wheels 313.4 and max torque 256 done at Power.

What's it up to now? You put us all to shame - my car has only done around 50 miles since November last year due to work/travel/holiday commitments (oh and the weather at times). I must try harder.
