Default Got bored and Dyno'ed my car.

I have been wanting to dyno my H23 ever since I got it. So I talked to my buddy who works up at a shop and set up a dyno run. Here were the numbers I got. My car is completely stock. My buddy kept saying "Man, these are good numbers!". I didnt really know cause I have not seen another stock H23 dyno.

Those are definitely good numbers considering you're making more HP at the wheels than the engine hp Honda rates it at which doesn't account for any drivetrain losses.

My friend who tunes cars for a living said that it looks like when the Air/Fuel ratio goes down it quits making power. He said if I got Hondata or a chipped ECU I could probably make more power. Which is a good thing...Hehehe.

i've seen numerous h23 stock dynos.......they usually run 145ish/140 max

that doesn't seem like a stock engine at all and/or he didn't compensate

what kind of dyno is that?

I called the shop and they said that all everything was set up correctly. So yeah, I just have a freaky engine or something.

how does that work!?! you put down more hp to the wheels than the motor has at the flywheel!?!

my H23 with i/h/e, cam gears, p+p, and pulleys only put down 131...

The import tuner one is low for a lot of reasons: it's got 250k miles and it's got heavy as **** 18 inch rh wheels(just a bad example). However, there's no way that h23 legitimately put down more whp than as at the crank. My h23, when it just had intake, header, exhaust, pulleys, high flow cat, plugs/wires didn't even come close to that whp.

Who you?!

And I have 16" Slipstreams, and a stage 2 clutch and 8lb lightened flywheel.

Engine has 145,000 miles.

I dont know how to explain it. These guys dyno cars all day long. They are one of the only Dyno shops in Charlotte.
