Enough Power?

I went to a dyno yesterday with my rb20. Wanted to get a before/after figures when I put my turbo kit on. With 3" straight exhaust, @ 10psi I hit 196 RWHP. I thought I would at least hit 200....Any opinions on that?

That's about the same that another guy I know did. I kinda thought it was a little low too.

According to everything I've ever researched...that's about what you would expect from a stock swap. That's not too shabby at all.

take your old crap cat out, I had 140 hp with stock cat and stock exhaust. Put in a test pipe and an RS*R exhaust, 220whp on a mustang dyno, something is clogged

[Kansei240sx]

Are you running a stock SMIC?

[240240]

everything is stock except the exhaust, 3" straight back, no cat

[namwons_240]

do u have a cone intake and/or is it clean? did u do a timing check? spark plugs dirty?

mustang dynos read a little higher than dynojet

and about 200whp is normal for a rb20. what are you expecting? the engine is dirt *** cheap for a reason

lol!

[240240]

one sided FMIC?

[SeVa-S13]

Yeah, not really sure what you were expecting at stock boost on an old *** stock engine rated at ~215bhp....

[Carl H]

if you are making 180-190whp on a mustang dyno then you are doing good as the motor is rated at 215bhp and if you do the math it works back to be around that at the fly.

[Flicktitty]

SeVa-S13- that is a really good sig about the honda!! LOL!

IMHO, mustang dyno's are correct and dyno jets just read higher. Has anyone had to re-fine tune their engine at the track because it is different on the dyno jet? You'll never have to change anything because a mustang dyno takes into account real-time conditions and calculates them. Not sure what % of a difference is but I've heard about 15% difference between the two. Although heavily bias, the guy at the mustang dyno put it like this

"if you want bragging numbers go to a dyno jet, if you want actual numbers, come here"

Itssorta like saying you have 255 hp ..... but its at the flywheel instead of the wheels, woopy do!
