Had the Juke on a rolling road today, it made 212.5 BHP at the flywheel

DiG-T with no performance modifications

modified or inaccurate dyno or conversion calculation?

and the base line at the back wheels is low? Something isn't right there

The Juke is totally standard-running on V Power.

With motoring journalists reporting that the Juke feels much quicker than its official 0-60 time of 8 seconds, I was intrigued to see what the DiG-T was really producing.

Agreed, variables can affect Dyno results and are best used to measure the performance gains of modifications by comparing before and after data on that particular vehicle.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><O></O>

However, it is not uncommon for modern turbo cars to achieve better than advertised BHP. Nissanjukebox’s DiG-Tmade 217 BHP (with a k&N filter),on a hub Dyno. Before its remap, my old 130 BHP Fabia vRS made 143 BHPon Tescos diesel and a binding brake LOL - while most were around 150 BHP!TSI engines also produce more than quoted.

I have no reason to doubt Starperformance or the accuracy of their rolling road. They are a highly regarded award winning independent Audi VW group tuner.

Keep us posted mez

wowo....great info but the torque steer is a bloody pain

 

[brownjnr]

its defo quicker than 8 secs...i have had mine to 60 in less than 7...I have to admit that the launch can be a bit jerky tho at full throtle Edited by: brownjnr

the 1.4tsi engine in my scirocco is meant to be 160hp however alledgedly most of them put out about 180hp, i am not convinced however my car doesnt feel 40hp slower than my previous type r. This might also explain when i got a bluefin remap to a supposed 197hp i couldnt really feel any difference and as a result got my cash back

Is this an accurate 0-60 test? Have you had any modifications?

If it's true, it will keep up with a Golf GTi, Polo GTi,RenaultSport Clio200, Fabia VRs (petrol,2010+)and a few other hot hatches. That would be impressive.

Yes, the Jukedoes feel quicker than quoted (and widely reported so) and it’s probably about asaerodynamic as a London bus! With respect to handling it’s not a serious performance car, and to be fair, was probably never meant to be. Cars like the Type R & Clio Sport are fast road / track focused cars. You may be able to keep up in a straight line, however on a twisty road you may end up in a field

From the dyno results above, my standard Juke achieved 165 bhp at the wheels, which I believe is slightly higher than a Type R (think they're155 – 162bhp at the wheels). So, although the high engine output, there is a fair loss through the transmission.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />

A guy in the states has the stillen exhaust and the Injen CAI and he just had it dyno'd and has 195 at the back wheels

 

[sdevlin]

or the front wheels

 

[Rocks703]

haha my bad!

Indeed it was never designed for that market. I've driven the RS Clio 200 and I thoroughly enjoyed it, you can put your foot down going round corners/roundabouts and not feel a thing, in the Juke you'd feel like you were going to topple!
However, what it loses in handling it more than gains in comfort. A lot of high performance handling cars feel like your backside is touching the floor. In this respect, the Juke feels like a great comprimise.

Totally agree

Some useless info: Renault is considering the DiG-T engine for a future Clio Sport.
