The book says 208 BHP (95 model),but on average what BHP does a standard UK Scooby develop?

Cheers Scoobyhead

 

Take a look at www.sidc.co.uk/faq.htm That covers all you need to know(and some you did'nt!)

Pete,
what Scoob have you got?Mines a red saloon MYUK95.

It is normal for a bog standard Scoob to put out around 230bhp
My 99my with only 5000mls. on the clock showed 242bhp and 230lbft torque at P.E.(backbox only)

For Scooby drivers still reading this thread,have you got a view??Please!!

 

My standard (totally - no exhaust, nothing!!) got 233bhp and 221 lb/ft. MY99 UK Turbo 4 door.

 

Depends very much on the rollers the car is tested on. The best as standard seemed to be MY98s.

mine as of Sun: MY00 - 218.5bhp 221 lb/ft

 

From what I've heard manufacturers generally quote a lower figure, so most cars are higher than that - have a look at some of the results on the dyno pages:
http://dyno.scoobynet.co.uk/

Pretty much all the standard ones get more than the manufacturer's figures.

This may be because they'd get into trouble if they sold you something that didn't get that much on a rolling road - although I guess they could wangle their way out of that by claiming the temperature/humidity etc. wasn't suitable.

Also, they (manufacturers) may only test new engines, whereas worn-in ones have loosened up and often produce more.
