I know that my car is stock, and a lot of ppl dont see a purpose for dynoing a car with no mods done to it, but it was free, and i wanted to see where im starting. I must say that i was impressed. I was expecting to put down around 118-120ish, and i actually showed 135.07 hp and 136.34 ft/lbs tq in third gear. in fourth gear we hit the speed gov, lol, and put down 133.53 hp, and 139.52 tq

heres a vid i put together...

 

Good stuff bro. It's far from worthless to dyno with no mods. You are actually doing it right unlike me. I never did a base run so I don't know exactly what my mods are worth. I can only get a ballpark idea unlike you. Now you can dyno after some mods and know what the real deal is.

 

^^^^^What he said: establishing a baseline is far from pointless, especially when it is free!

 

I had an 05 base coupe cobalt, I did Injen CAI and a Magnaflow catback exhaust and my numbers where about 149.4hp and 148.6torque

 

Im glad you didnt post it on streetfire. The haters tehre would have gone nuts.

 

I guess that's what I should expect from my car, nice.

 

aweosme numbers for a stock lt. i have intake and exhaust so i should be around like 145 or so. who knows

 

those numbers really impressed me i thought that it would be less as well

 

Woooo Go Chris!!!

 

Those numbers aren't bad at all! I was expecting like 115-120 whp! That thing is a torque monster (on a smaller scale) WOW more torque than power! Thats nuts!

 

thanks for the comments guys. the guy told me that by looking at my afr, an intake would do a lot of good ( for an intake that is). My car ran quite rich through 3rd, and the addition of an intake should lean it out a bit. i will plan on going back next year abou this time as well with intake header and exhaust. then the next year, who knows, maybe ill be dynoing my custom turbo kit lol.

 

You gotta love the torque on all three models its one thing the haters cant take away from us,what was the torque on the civic again

 

hey man i havea real important question, please tell me you can remember. WHERE did they plug the cords onto the car for the TACH/TEST wire??? my local dyno shop can't dyno my cobalt because they cant figure out where to hook up the car at.

 

honestly, im not too sure. i dont think that they really plugged anything in, but they did clamp something near the battery.... sorry, i know this doesnt help much.

 

damn that sounds kinda high...i've never heard of a 2.2 being underrated

what kind of dyno was it?

 

I cant wait to get my car on the Dyno. I am expecting anywhere between 145 - 155whp and 160+ft lb of torque. But I guess we will ahve to wait and see.

 

it was a dyno jet.... and its not really underrated. if you figure 10% loss, thats 135+13=148. its pretty close

 

well if anyone with an 06 gets theirs dynoed can you find out for me please...do you mean the battery or the fuse box in the engine compartment

 

well done my friend well done...i too did not do a baseline dyno...with that knowlege i should be around 5 more than in signature but i quote low till i know...thanx for the base info man

 

SAE horsepower ratings changed in 2006 forcing all manufacturers to reduce horsepower ratings. most vehicles will put out approximately 10-15% more power than OEM quotes because the guy running the dyno does not have to comply with the new regs and is still using the old system. Based on the old rating system the L61 has somewhere between 160-165 hp, with about a 20% lost thru friction in the drivetrain, which amounts to around 130-135 hp at the wheels, or exactly what people are running on most dyno's....this is why there are so many SS/SC's that are pulling stock dyno numbers that are nearly equal to or equal to OE flywheel hp numbers. Hope this makes sense.
