First let me start off by saying that I am unable to post the results because they were unable to e-mail me a copy of the chart. Apparently their system isn't set up for that so I apologize for that....and I don't have a scanner or a good enough camera to use those methods either. Sorry folks.

But I trust that most of you know me well enough on this site to understand that I have no reason to lie to any of you.

That being said....here's how it went down......

Went to a place here in town. The only place that I know of so far that does dyno testing (the other one apparently shut down). They use a MUSTANG DYNAMOMETER for their runs and the way I understand it is that they read considerably lower than other dynos such as Dynojets, etc. This being because they factor in real-life situations such as drag resistance, etc. into their results. So on average they will read about 20% loss to the drivetrain.

My results were 177WHP and 132WTQ with the weather correction factor plugged in. (apparently since it was such a nice day outside....they docked 3WHP and 2WTQ off the total.) Of course this is with my two mods on the vehicle as well. I never did a stock run at the shop because I didn't know of it at the time.

I asked the owner about various dyno results on different stock vehicles. He said two brand new ZO6 vettes came in....the best result was 410WHP of the two which is an 18.8% loss. Most of their other cars averaged between 18% and 23% loss to the wheels. So their estimates seem to be holding up pretty good. Unfortunately there are no other dyno shops I can take my car to so that I can compare results....so this is what i'm stuck with.

Now I know some of you will be tempted to think these numbers are a little low....but their kind of what I was expecting. Obviously I didn't LOSE power with the mods because I've done a before-and-after at the track. Stock being a 15 flat at 91 and with the mods....14.6 @ 96mph.

If I average an 18% loss.....that would put me at 216HP at the flywheel. Obviously a 19HP gain seems a little high without a tune on just two minor bolt-ons....so I really don't know what to make of these results.

This is my first time going to get my car dynoed....so i'm not very familiar with how these things vary and how they factor in actual power. I'm going based off what I've heard up to this point.....so cut me some slack if i'm mistaken.

Any thoughts, gripes, bitches or complaints??

19 hp seems about right. I have witnessed a 17hp gain with the same bolt ons. Not same brands, but it was very much alike. However, the guy who got those numbers, had a CAI. IDK. Seems reasonable to me man.

I sure hope so. I heard all this talk about people not really seeing any significant gains with bolt-ons without a tune......so I had to find out for myself.

There is one other thing I forgot to mention that I noticed. These engines are f_cking LOUD. You people that have an intake and RH (or maybe even just stock) and think that your car is loud when sitting inside it......you need to stand near your car when it's being dynoed. This engine absolutely screams to hell and back. My ears were ringing after the pulls.

 

Sweet Rico. thats not that bad of numbers. and i think that you should take that 20% loss. its very possible. but im hoping to get mine dynoed soon.

 

nice numbers.... just curious what loss percetage you would fall in if you had say royal purple or another aftermarket tranny oil?

 

They are just numbers, take it with a grain of salt.

 

wats an idk ....? lol ...?
thx.!

 

idk=i dont know

thanks for posting rico

Honestly I don't think it would make enough of a difference to warrant going back to the shop and pulling numbers again.

 

i dyno'd about the same stock mine were 174.01hp and 129.82 ft-lbs of torque

my only mods if you can even consider was amsoil engine and tranny oils

 

i dyno'd 182 whp stock.

More than likely. There's no way ANY stock Si makes more power than mine or anybody else's with I/RH. I'll bet my right nut on that one.

Not on a Mustang Dyno.

 

no i wouldnt want you to go and redyno the car ..... just curious about tranny oil... herd people talkin about better oil in the tranny makes for better hp from engine throught the tranny... thats all... figured someone has a similar setup and put it on a dyno.... if so please post

 

I dynoed mine at 177.3hp and 129.76tq on Dynojet. it was in the summer at 83F 30in-Hg Humidity was 37% at Tempest racing in MD. That was stock, i put in a K&N after that and changed my oil to RedLine Synth Racing... planning on going to dyno again soon.

 

I love how my thread just got jacked with everybody posting up THEIR dyno results on a different type of dyno machine.

Freakin amazing.

Oh shoot im sorry, i read the whole thread and totally forgot you ran on Mustang dyno :?\ How much did they charge you for a run? Maybe you can redyno it w/o the mods?? But yet again, you have a DCRH i dont know how hard/long that would be to remove...Did you do it yourself?
Anyway i just started here so i thought i share my info

Edited original post. The two key points are now in bold.....my results and "Mustang Dynamometer".

I could. But it's too much hassle taking the mods off....putting the old ones back on....and then doing it all over again when it's over. I'll just see if I can find someone with a stock Si and point them to the shop.

$85 for two pulls. The RH isn't hard to install at all. It's very light and bolts right up. Just make sure you let the car sit for a while before removing the factory one because it gets EXTREMELY hot when it's been running.

 

hers mine. 188 whp, k&n and cat-back.

One thing to remember, is that you had drag, weather, etc. factored into your results. More than likely, no one else, that posted their numbers, factored any of that into their results.
It would really suck, if someone had a freak stock si, and you ended up losing your right nut.

That's not a MUSTANG dyno.

Having those factored in is a GOOD thing because they are conditions that actually exist in normal driving. And anybody that thinks their car is faster just because it reads a higher number on a different dyno is a FOOL.

"Freak" stock cars don't exist. They are manufactured on an assembly line. The chances of ONE car having a freak amount of power are near impossible unless it was deliberately done....which would seem pointless.

 

never said it was a mustang dyno. just postin my graph dude.

Why? It's not relevant to my thread. I used a MUSTANG DYNO. Now anybody who dynoed on a Mustang dyno who is willing to share their results is more than welcome.

But Dynojet numbers are absolutely useless to me.
