i have a 96 accord ex auto with 146000 miles, i have an arospeed front mount intake, top speed pro one 4-2-1 header and full cat back exhaust. i had 18" rims on when i dynoed. with 93 octane i had 123 hp and 120 lb of torque, does this seem right? i think it does i just wanted some more opinions of people who know what they are talkin about, i figured it was pretty good to have so many miles...tell me what u think

 

stock 92 ex auto 128hp with 176,000 seem you wasted alot of money on that car to me

just my .02

how would you get 128hp out of a 92 auto stock? arent they rated at like 130hp? shouldnt it be about 110max at the wheels...or way less?
ohh i think i know whats going on here

 

That seems about right. You're losing 15% of the horsepower because it's automatic.

 

The factory gives HP ratings at the crank, not the wheels.

 

EDITED, I read it.
Phat4drVtec: That, in all honesty, is very good numbers for a car with that amount of miles on it, plus being automatic. It should be a little less, but I guess those bolt-ons helped it a little. Oh yeah, and a little tip, get rid of that intake, get a regular short ram or CAI, they'll produce more gains.

You need to spray it, or turbo it!

i ran my car a couple times and got around the same number i think it was more like 127.6 or something like that ill look at the data when i get off work it was a while back but i only had the resonator off at the time but anyway that's a f22b1 isn't it i just figured it would be producing a lot more then a 4th gen. car i think they where like 135 stock at fly

ps: stock horsepower for a 92 is like 130 or 140 depending on where you look iv never found out what it is supposed to be being an ex it would have some power gain over the a1 and a4 but i wouldn't think the intake and header would make that big of a difference on the a6

 

127.7hp at 5199rpm
134.3tq at 4799rpm

ran this several times. ran again a few months ago with cai on got little change in max hp and tq but reached higher numbers in lower rpms so i know its not reading wrong
