Dyno'd today

[hurddawg]

197.7 SAE whp @ 5500 on a Dynapack dyno.

Pretty happy with it considering my mods. I think the number is fairly accurate since SCC put down 195 with nearly identical mods.

However the torque is messed up! It claims I have 796ft/lbs of torque! lol I can't light up the tires on the freeway so I think this portion in fubar'd. It says 4wd on the top so maybe this has something to do with it. its also a new shop (opened only a couple weeks ago).

Mods (power only):

3" Catback3" downpipestock catalytic convertertrust outlet pipenew stock smic w/fanIridium plugs heat range 70.9 bar (~13psi)

It was weird as they hooked up the car I started to get spectators and everyone was asking if it was turbo or had an SR. Kinda wished I didn't have an SR...but anyway I was sure getting nervous as it was the first time I had a car dyno'd.

It was the first time I actually heard what my exhaust sounded like, its very quiet, smooth and deep up to the 7k (I only pulled to 7k). Anyway the Fuji is a good quiet exhaust!

[Onizuka]

SWEET, good numbers. So you like the Fujitsubo? I love their old exausts, only i cant find anywhere that sells them.

[hurddawg]

I love the exhaust. Its very quiet at idle and it isn't very loud when you're on the pedal. It drones a bit cruising but it isn't too bad. Nice smooth and deep noise, no farting/ripping sounds or high-pitched wail (turbo does that for me ). Its almost hard to believe the engine is a 4-cyl. I definately recommend it if you don't care for the Apexi catbacks. It cost me a ton to get the exhaust, but I'm very pleased with it! Also its full-stainless. My biggest problem is that the tip is 4.5".

[240dreams]

damn nice numbers for an almost stock setup. is it at stock boost?

[hurddawg]

nope its at 13psi. I'd be really happy if I got those numbers at stock boost!

[MainEvent212]

woah woah woah...that's it? i pulled 210 whp at 10 lbs w/ minor detonation in prior runs, stock DP and elbow, 2.5" exhaust and walbro pump...im now at 12 lbs and i think i've made more power...enough that i cant hook up first or 2nd gear at full throttle...but then again i got some ****ty wheels/tires/rear end

[hurddawg]

I had the traction problem when I had my original tires, I couldn't get the power down. Since I swapped tires I can only chirp the tires in 1st if I catch it just right.

I dunno stock elbow and Dp seems kinda hard to believe 210whp. Just because 3psi more? Seems wierd, since the stock motor is rated at 202 crank hp.

[MainEvent212]

i'll post my dyno again if you want, it's on http://www.bandtmotorsports.com

dynapack 3000 and everything

[MainEvent212]

and before anyone corrects me, the graph is mislabeled due to a screw up on the computer

2 things...it says i'm an 03 rsx lol and it says that it's flywheel hp...

[hurddawg]

I find it hard to believe because of what I've seen. for instance from magazines of course, but anyway Marco Vargas' car (guy that runs sr20store) has an S14 motor with a FMIC, DP, exhaust and intake got 211whp @ Stock boost.

I mean that engine itself has 217 crank stock then all of his mods.

I dunno I'm not saying my #s are high, they maybe be low but yours are insanely good. Are you sure you have a stock turbo/cams?

[MainEvent212]

yeah, lol if i didnt then the shop i got swapped at ripped themselves off

and to squash any more questions...i was present at the time of the dyno run, and i even watched them on the computer...these numbers are true.

the swap was damn good too! but they did a ****ty job on the intercooler piping...i need to go thru and replace the clamps (they used some cheapo ones that seem to not wanna hold)

besides that, i dont regret using them

[crzycav86]

The website says you had a fmic and 8 psi.

[MainEvent212]

i'm pretty sure the run was at 10, i doubt it was at 8...and yeah, i have a fairly big FMIC...not that it would boost horsepower though...

[f150intally]

i'm pretty sure the run was at 10, i doubt it was at 8...and yeah, i have a fairly big FMIC...not that it would boost horsepower though...

Uh,yeah FMIC makes a huge difference. My car made 227 with FMIC, catback, 3" downpipe hks turbo elbow on 12 psi. I made 244.2 on 1 BAR.

[crzycav86]

Werd. That would explain the phenominal increase in horsepower.

Basically, the fmic will cool the air more than the smic, thus making the air more dense. The extra air + extra fuel = extra power. It significantly boosts power.

[MainEvent212]

oh...well sweet...in that case i'm gonna hook it up w/ the downpipe and elbow so i can make some real power lol

i had no idea that an FMIC made more power...i got it for future use basically...the SMIC wasnt in the best of shape when i got hte clip anyways

[hurddawg]

pressure loss is a big issue with the smic as well...

[creophus]

hurddawg...are you running 13psi with a smic?? I heard that you should not run that thing past 10psi. Did you have a wide-band O2 connected when you dyno'd? I hear that these things are very important. I've never dyno'd a car before...I'm only going by what I have read in mags and on this board.... so you probably know all of this and more. And do you have a lsd?

I can spin in 3rd gear on stock boost with my S14 SR. I don't know how much power it makes...haven't dyno'd it yet. But I don't have a lsd. I do have good sticky tires though.

[MainEvent212]

are you on good ground?

i have some kumho ecsta 712's, obviously not the best tire, in 225/45/17 out back, and i can only chirp third...definately not spin though

[creophus]

On good ground? You mean clean pavement? Yeah it doesn't matter if I'm on asphalt or concrete. I can spin all the way to redline in 3rd gear. Now I start the burn out in first and keep it going...spin through second until redline...then spin through 3rd. I stop trying to burn out by then. Never tried spinning in 4th. Also I can light up the tire(s) if I drop it into 3rd on the highway.

What's your setup? I drove a guy's car and I was able to break loose in 3rd gear just by pressing the gas...no downshifting. He had 17's and an LSD. The only way that I could tell I was breaking loose was I could feel the diff working (back end wiggled a bit).

[hurddawg]

Movingviolation240 had told me once that he knew someone that ran an SR without an IC at all at 12psi and it was fine so the smic at 13psi shouldn't be a problem. Besides, if you saw my dyno plot its a smooth SOB. To top that the motor does have a knock sensor to help fend off the pings.

Plus I have a tank of 94 Octane right now. Usually I get 92 octane though.

No lsd for me. I had asked for the O2 but they had forgotten to hook it up so I didn't have it, but I know I'm running a bit rich.

[SR PwrdVA]

197 sounds kinda low for 13psi doesn't it? When I dyno'd my sr when i first got it. I was running stock boost with 3 inch dp, straight pipe, blitz nurspec and everything else bone stock. I put down 194 to the wheels and 183ft/lbs. Shouldn't you be puttin out around 220-230?

[hurddawg]

possibly I'm going to dyno at another place in a couple weeks. I know I'm running rich so it could be the reason as well.

I am running the stock cat though.

[VitaminT]

Yeah that is a big part of it is that stock CAT and the SMIC.

[180crafter]

Thats a big no no...

Please take out that stock cat. It is actually choking your exhaust and slowly killing your turbo. You will thank me later.

yeah I'm planning on doing it but I needed the car (my other car's transmission died) so I used what I had left.

I'll swap out to a hi-flow cat in a couple weeks.
