Do people still get excited over dyno results ?
By the looks of it a badger swinging a nob around interests you so I doubt a dyno graph even comes close to the excitement.
Thanks

196lbs/ft n/a b series?
Jog on.

I'm a bit confused, if it's 171 wheel horse power then it's losing near 50 hp through the drive train?
Seems a bit much to loose
Nice Power Ben, bet you're happy with that at the end of the day that's all that counts, There will always be someone with more power etc i don't know why people bother to compare really. Its your car, you're happy = happy days
Agreed! Too much Willy waving involved with the dyno sheets. (Not badger willies)
Decent results but still a pinch of salt to be taken. I've got similar spec with s300 and only make 203. Friends dc2 similar spec again 203.

Lol, each to their own. I prefer to live in "reality" rather than on paper. What ever makes you happy though....
Anyway, don't disrespect the badger kid.... Unless you like walking around with a saw arse...
I bought the car already mapped etc, I haven't been on a dyno with it myself but the sheet I have says 203. The engine will be tested again in a few months for a race regulation I have to meet a certain hp/ton limit. So I'll find out then.
Our wheel hp figures are similar. Mines actually higher. So how your dyno says 218 and mine says 203 I'm not so sure about how it's calculated.
Yeah I think without looking at the sheets it's 171whp.
So because my car on paper has made more power than another with the same/similar modifications it means it's not realistic ?
You make a good point, I'd be interested to see other runs and what the whp is and calc hp from that.
Not trying to play your results down, your cars clearly fast just from the whp figure. just real curious as to how yours reads high(or mine low on the calculation) this is why I said "pinch of salt" because our cars make the same whp yet different hp? Would bet my bottom dollar the cars would be neck and neck in a drag so where's the extra 15-20hp gone? Or come from?
I'm in the situation where I'm looking for a low figure because I know my car goes well and the lower the engines power(on this specific dyno sheet) the more weight I can shed from the car, helping to improve its performance further.
Your wheel HP sounds about right for a healthy engine running your mods but realistically that WHP does not translate to the bhp figure you got, well it certainly wouldn't on my Dyno Dynamics, you would be looking at 200-205 bhp if putting down 170whp. The % percentage difference from flywheel to WHP is rather high for a FWD car on that dyno.
WHP is the more realistic figure when quoting power figures off a chassis dyno/rolling road as this is what the dyno is actually measuring!
Did the dyno operator discuss with you how your engine was actually running? Because looking at that air/fuel ratio plot your engine is running rather lean between 4-5000rpm and at the top end, 8500rpm+ it starts to get on the lean side again. I would try address this with either reverting back to OEM ecu and see how fueling is or get a mapable ecu and have it custom mapped for your engine.
12-15% loss is about the normal if I remember correctly from back in the day,
This sort of topic/debate used to come up on here all the time,
Nah, what I'm getting at is that it is just a piece of paper with ink on it. Go out and make a few videos of you tearing the streets up if you really want to show us what it does . I just get lost sometimes of how people get so excited over dyno graphs. Ok, they're good to give you a rough idea of your cars power output; but to get an erection over the fact you made X amount more than someone else ??? Nah... There are toooooo many variables to account for unless we're talking about significant figures.

Nah, I ain't read anything you've said other than after my first post. As soon as I see one of these "dyno numbers" threads I just kind of think "yeah.. It is what it is..." . Like I say - each to their own. You don't have to agree with me... We all have our own opinions. What would you rather me say though ? Nothing ?? What you want to hear (WOW !!! WELL DONE YOUR CAR IS SIIIIIICK !!!!) ??? or what really goes through my head ??
I take it you don't take life lightly ??? Do other peoples opinions count a little too much if they aren't what you want to hear ??? What should matter is what YOU think/feel. My, and other peoples opinions should be recognised and acknowledge, but overall they shouldn't have an impact on your initial outlook.
