Dyno results + revised hp in sig :(
True to my word. First, I could have got to 240+ whp by tweeking my REVO settings and other things but that would have been cheating and that's not me. Plus, I didn't want to push my engine pass the factory safe points which I could have. What you see is what I have with the mods I got...get it
Although I am dissappointed, I am not totally upset about the results. Oh, before any of you ask, I only had them record hp numbers only. If I wanted to test for other parameters such as tq, a/f,etc., they or I would have had to remove my engine cover which entails removing the Carbonio air intake <pita> and so on...I didn't have time for all that sh*t. BTW, I finally received my front mount bushings today after waiting over a month for them to get off backorder...installing them & torque arm insert should ease the pain. Finally, I tip my cap to ya, petethegreat.

Those are pretty good numbers...not far from 280 crank hp. Not sure what the loss factor is, but
@ 15%, you are getting 272.23 hp at the crank.
@ 18%, you are getting 282.19 hp at the crank.
Nothing to hang your head about.
And of course, those are numbers for that particular dyno...etc, etc, *disclamer*, etc... :^)

where's the torque graph?
btw, i don't think upping any of the REVO settings would have helped you much.
There's only so much timing the engine will take until it starts retarding it & REVO is already pushing the turbo to its max.

I read it. A/F is measured with a tailpipe sniffer.
I see what you mean though. IIRC they use the coilharness to get an RPM reading. TQ and A/F would be plotted on RPMs so I guess that's why you didn't want to bother with the carbonio.
Any reason the runs were done in 3rd gear versus 4th gear?
As I mentioned, changing the settings wouldn't have done you any good, because the engine is already pulling timing with stock revo settings and the turbo is already maxed out. If you really wanted to cheat, filling up with 100 octane would be your best bet ;-)

A bill for 3 pulls. BTW, those dynos are brutal...
I was asked by the tester how far in the RPM range I wanted him to go...I told him at redline 6800 rpm. But I've dipped into the 7500 rpm range (briefly) a couple of times and my car didn't shut down or blow up. All in all the 3 held up pretty well. Its all good anytime you can drive away from a dyno test with no CEL or blown turbo
