Spring Dyno Day Results and Pics!

[jrohner]

Fall dyno day is not set, but plan for October-ish, i.e. the fall :) Switch it to AWD, fwd sux!

Sweet. At DB? That's a nice place. I also like that it's in Rogers so I don't have to drive way into the cities and get lost going the wrong way on some one way street or something (I'm actually not bad at directions, I just don't like driving in the cities - don't like driving in St Cloud much either).

I should be getting it back to AWD sometime in the next week or so. Then I can actually accelerate again instead of just burning the tires in the first 3 gears, well 2 since I almost never put it in 1st gear.

Scheides..I WAS there with my car..you just didn't care to go see it I guess.

i bet drive train loss is somewhere around 15-18%. At least that would be the case with the EVO, and im sure the early dsm's are different but you can expect about that much.

According to what the stockish EVO's dynoed at, loss must be over 20% or closer to 25%. That doesn't sound unreasonable does it? Maybe on a dynojet you could figure 15%?

Was the dyno in 'shootout mode'? I heard that might make it read a little higher hp numbers than it otherwise would because of corrections being different. I was reading about the dyno dynamics dyno after the dyno day to learn more about them, and that's what I got out of it -- besides about 3 different forums calling them the heartbreak dyno because of lower readings than any others.

Matts right, I've been told drive train loss on my dsm was about 18% or so on a dyno dynamics.

But yes, dyno dynamics are the lowest reading dynos out there, yet most accurate imo. Either way, a number is just a number and doesn't really mean a whole lot. Now a track number...that's different :)

My stock evo dyno'd at 233/248 stock is like 278 or somewhere around their so you figure about 18% or so. 25% is high.

Now how much drivetrain loss does a fwd dsm get?

No shit, Dyno don't mean nothin' if you can't drive worth a damn.

Let's see some timeslips from all the dick waggers! ;)

i went 14.2@99.99mph with a 2.6 60ft, hehe. I can't wait to see what it'll do now. I'm going to go out on a limb and say I can get 12's with it next time it's out. w00t.

[123abc]

14's at a high mph. :spin:
