Dyno Results

**chuglobal** · 06-01-2002 08:20 AM

OK I posted in this forum because this is where I usually post about fun races and alot of people have emailed or called me w/ questions so here are my results. I have the following performance mods: Vishnu catless uppipe, Stromung catless downpipe, Tanabe Super Racing Medallion catback, and Boostvalve MBC @ 16psi w/ Autometer boost and EGT gauges. I don't have access to a scanner right now but I will post the pics later.

Anyways my runs where very consistant and done in 4th gear ... 213.2 whp & 183.3ft/lbs torque! I guess you can't beat that w/ a stick becuase the $$$ vs. performance is unmatched. I figure you can take the Tanabe SRM out of the performance list since honestly I got it for looks and sounds ...

. Thus <$800 you can gain 30+ whp. I'm doing some simple calculations so I'm guesstimating around ... 180/227 ( factory ) = 213/X thus X=268.62hp at the cranks or 260-270hp depending on the calculations.
If I pull the numbers from TurboXs is the same figures but you would add 17/23 hp to the end calculation depending on the Stage 1 or Stage 2. If I pull the numbers from Vishnu you would subtract -7, -9, and -15 relatively to the Stage 0, .5, and 1. I know the calculations aren't exact but it gives me an estimation.
I had a 9am meeting at Knowledge Performance in Woodstock, Ga. today 6/1/2002 to use their dynopack. I have spoken to Kevin and he seems to be very knowledgeable. I am very pleased w/ the service and price for now ... I don't have to drive 10+hrs to get to a 4W dyno. I am also VERY please w/ my misc combination of mods for the power. Thus I have a hp rating of 260hp and at most 270hp at the cranks.

thanks for the info chug

i read all your posts because you have the same setup as mine, sans catback, and was speculating on what kind of hp i had....interestingly i was guessing 265!!!

its amazing how much some of these guys are paying for stage this or stage that....i think ive spent about 1200 total and the damn thing is freaking scary

eventually ill go the bigger turbo route, but for now i dont see a better way to spend 1200 then the way we have

Congrats on some pretty impressive numbers. Just go to show that with a little forethought, and not a lot of money, you can have pretty darn quick little car. Looking forward to meeting up with you sometime soon. Next time I'm up in the Atlanta area, I'll try to work out a meeting.

Always welcomed. I still need to go to SDR again to see my 1/4 mile w/ and w/out my bike on the roof. The people at SDR said it should be fine w/ my bike on the roof as long as its stable.

You should definitely get a video of that run with the bike on. That would be hilarious!
