neo2810 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Well, finally shoved my car onto a dyno today to see whether the £1k was well spent and here are the results. For those of you who haven't been following, I bought a pretty stock NA 6 months ago and have just had AAS in Newcastle fit a new custom manifold, double decat, custom backbox, custom induction arm and filter. I was given a spot in the queue at short notice so the car went on almost completely cold, and these are the results, which I'm fairly pleased with. The car is 17 years old so I can't imagine it was pushing the full 225bhp an NA is supposed to have when it leaves the factory so the extra's have added at least 30bhp imo. Ended on 246bhp @ 6,249rpm (I get redline at just over 7k rpm so not sure why they didn't push a little more?) Anyway, that's good enough for me for now.

dude Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Shame you didn't get a run before you started on the same dyno but you have definatly got an improvement, the power looks like it was falling so revving it more would prob not have achieved a higher reading, well done dude.

TLicense Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I get redline at just over 7k rpm so not sure why they didn't push a little more?: It had already peaked so not a great deal of point in continuing to push it, although it would have been reasonably interesting to let it continue a little to see how quickly it dropped off, which would give you some indication of whether it's worth changing gear a little earlier or not.

Dnk Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) Surely thats not a great way to dyno a car if wasn't warmed up first. Last time i had a dyno run i took it up the rd to get everything up to temp, gearbox, diff and engine Edited November 14, 2010 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Nice one bud, shame I wasn't there early enough to see your dyno but decent figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Least you broke 200rwhp although until its repeated at SRR i hold my applause Nice one dude, makes me want to get my mines ecu fitted with nice manifold to see what it does.

neo2810 Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Cheers chaps, as I've said previously, I bought a non-turbo because I didn't want huge power so where it is now is perfect. I'm more concerned with aesthetics on this car so the effort will now all go on the outside. m_life, what's SRR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Well not realy just SRR results always seem the most accurate and realistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Sounds like a nice result there matey. I dynod at 203 last year with just a blitz NUR spec R, as soon as my mani is fitted i will re dyno and see what i get but im sure i will be atleast 20 odd hp down on yours.

dude Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Ah, because Motorscope's is a pretend one More to the point it gives a comparison as a lot of the guys use SRR and all dyno's, meaning makes and style, will give diff figures, for example a Maha will give a diff reading and a DynaPack hub dyno very different again, Neil needs to get his dynoed on the same dyno as yours for a comparrison. Any dyno dynamics thats calibrated should read the same, for example at around 550 our dyno and SRR are only a couple of hp diff. It doesn't matter just keep using the same dyno and operator now and you will see any improvement, but to compare to other NA's that have been tunesd and run at SRR you need to get a run on a DynoDynamics, but like I said thats just for willy waving, if you are happy with the car thats what matters.

Neil-NA Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I am sure this has been asked before but does it make any difference what gear you do a run in, i notice yours was done in 4th where as mine was done in 5th (not very nice when you are sat in the car hitting the limiter in 5th and they havn't even strapped the car down) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w41k3r Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 nice figure but to be fair even if you went srr the n/a bashers would prob say it was reading high that day lol whats next on the mod list? and neil next time you go rolling road give me a shout ill put mine on as well see what my mods do lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I had mine Dyno'd at 207hp with only an HKS super dragger. So that IMO is a good result for an added decat and manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
