Ducky goes to the dyno (pics + video)

[DuckyD]

Tonight I went to the dyno. I was able to get a good deal because the dyno's wideband is down. The motor is pretty stock so there is nothing to really tune anyway.The idea for tonight was to get a baseline before I start upgrading (tuning, turbo, injectors, etc). Plus it was fun So tomorrow the car will start getting torn into a thousand pieces, getting ready for a track event and general repairs (such as realigning the doors). Here's whats on the car:s13 blacktop sr20detMegan Racing downpipecat deleteApexi cat-backEnjuku HotpipeEnjuku intakeGreddy Spec-M intercoolerHKS 10psi wastegate actuator So it's basically just plumbing on the car.Anyway, the pics/video.



Coolant leaking from the hose or neck. We found this before we got started.

YOUTUBE VIDEOFirst run that we did in 4th gear. Made 226hp and just as much torque.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0mSWlrZMgg

YOUTUBE VIDEOSecond video, I was going to remove my power steering belt but gave up. In doing so, I accidently pulled the vacuum line to the wastegate. Anyway, he did the dyno run and it put down about 250hp and 300tq. Very interesting power graph because the little t25 overboosted like crazy. No clue on AFR's or boost...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0xuv5ti3EY

YOUTUBE VIDEOAnd finally, one of the guys wanted to go through the gears on the dyno. It made about 215hp in second gear, 220hp in third gear, and 225hp in fourth gear.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RolqbGv-uso

Oh, and my furry friend that we found out back. He likes french fries.

All together, we did probably 6 dyno runs.

The good:The motor stayed together.I didn't lose any horesepower between runs.Decent horsepower and respectable torque for near stock SR.

The bad:Needs tuning, badly. I'm installing an SAFC but it's more for monitoring.Needs a wideband to protect my investment.Look at those rear struts! ahh!

do oyu have a pic of your intake from an angle were you can see the coolant resevoir?? My filter is hitting me resevoir and I'm trying to figure out my intake.

Thanks

Kinda disapointed that Enjuku didn't warn me of that ahead of time.I'll take pics tonight of it.

Edit:I kept cutting 1/2" incriments on it till it fit right. I used a sawzall (because thats all I had) but a band saw would have worked a lot better. The only issue is that on one side, the coupler is on a slight bend.
