since I have free access to a dyno because of progam here at MSU Mankato, i'll be dynoing my car tomorrow. it's completely bone stock, just doing it for fun. ya'll can guess if you want, i don't really care what it puts down, but i'll post it up here tomorrow or the next day.

 

138whp/132wtq

 

Doubtful thats what I dyno'd at with a Dyno Jet.

I say 115hp/120tq

Let me know if you can get an accurate tach reading cause mine kept freaking out so they couldnt pull my torque

 

just got done, it was a blast! it was doing a lab assignment for my buddy so we tested the speedometer and ****. then we did the WOT test and before you question the results, keep in mind this is a Mustang dyno, so we're dealing with wheel horsepower. here's what came up with:





and to answer your question yellowlt, we just hook up the rpm reader to the wires going into the coils and it seemed to read perfectly. also, good guess, pretty damn close.

 

Thats the same place we hooked mine too but couldnt get a good reading. Did you use all four wires?

 

no just 1

 

You remember which one???? You have an 07?

 

WOW... is that really what the base balt's are putting down? man that depressing...

 

That's pretty standard. Plus a Mustang dyno gives you real-world numbers not ego numbers like a DynoJet. So 116 would be what you'd get out of it on the street. Honestly not bad for a baseline economy car. Still more than base Civics and such.

 

lol, true.... but still depressing alley...

I mean I came from a V8, 4 barrel carb, grand prix sport.

Time to throw on some more bolt-ons and get some kick out of my baby.

I want my car to make me

 

exactly, what do people expect out of them, these aren't built to be sports cars. the person who was helping was actually really impressed. he said i was the first 4-banger he had seen without mods to get over 100.

 

Thats 20% loss from the 145 crank HP chevy advertises. About normal for drivetrain loss.

 

Well a dyno jet it would prob be more like 125-130hp to the wheels.

Now put a few bolt-on's on and re-dyno to see what you get.

 

sp at 20% loss, does that mean the SS versions are getting about 145 to the wheels? SC's about 190?

Just trying to get a feel for where we stand. Ive driven an SS nice and aggressive like and thats kinda what im going for with mine

 

2.4's get about 140 to the wheels
SS/SC's get about 200 at the wheels on a Mustang Dyno

2.0's were underrated HP wise, 2.2s and 2.4s are almost dead on.

 

kool, thanks alley. rock on.

 

My estimate on the 2.4s might be slightly high on a Mustang dyno, but those numbers should be about close. The underrating of the SS/SC throws things a little our of wack, but you should see about a 20hp difference between the 2.2 and 2.4 and about a 75-80 hp difference between the 2.2 and the 2.0.

 

What RPM is peak HP and What RPM is peak torque?

 

Thanks al... im building my car for autocross right now, and my goal is to get some of the HP and TQ numbers of the SS and handling of the SC if not superior. I am on the way but not there yet

 

great info orng, thanks for sharing

 

i'd guess 4200RPM tq and 6000RPM hp

 

I can't tell if that was serious or sarcastic

 

Advice if you REALLY want to get the most out of auto-x?

Skip the power and build the suspension. If you can be competitive in a lower-powered class, you get a better PAX. Adding power bumps you classes and hurts your PAX index, so you end up hurting yourself.

My ex boyfriend would absolutely DOMINATE week in and week out. In a Civic that put exactly 67 horsepower to the ground. As an added "f-u" to the "power power power" people, he'd tape his dyno sheet to the car for all to see.

Get the car to handle where you want it to FIRST. Keep it on street tires until you learn the car. When you're maxed on street tires, buy R-compounds and do the same thing. When you're getting EVERYTHING you can out of the car, THEN go for the power.

 

haha no that was serious.

 

I've built suspension. Sway bars, springs, strut tower bar, performance tires. I am learning the car, pushing it to its limits. love the handling right now.

I love the idea of a 67hp dyno sheet taped to a car pwning people.

ok, i wasnt sure what info you were talking about, but no prob. lol
