DB Dyno Day Results

I just got home fomr the DB dyno day in rogers, MN. there was a goo turn out. i think we got 10+ scoobies throught the dyno. we saw some very interesting numbers (especailly by Fong).

heres what i put down.

113 whp
143 ft/lbs.

IMO this isnt too bad @ 5psi, and an AFR of 9:1. this will give me some incentive to start tuning my car lol.

lets see some numbers

 

i got 211 whp and 250 tq

 

that seems pretty good, now i just have to get my car down and get some numbers on mine

 

wtf jason. so that dyno is even a ton lower than a mustang????

 

05 STi "stock"
226 hp
230 tq

 

Thats what I was going to ask, but I thought maybe he got a different car

 

i could see you improving about 50 more hp! good times martin

 

Stock 05 STi w/1500 miles, 211 Hp and 217 Tq.

 

as posted in the vid/pic section...

212.3WHP
218.8TQ....


^ the STi I beat.. he he he but gve him some more miles he would be closer to BadBenny 226 maybe

 

Hard to say. It is the true heartbreaker though. It is the same kind of dyno that Vishnu uses. It's the top of line for doing tuning, but the numbers are always disappointing, especially compared to a Dynojet or Dynapack.

 

Well..I guess I just have to wait to see mine on Tune Day...@ LSE Since Jason's number weren't as good, I guess I can't expect to much either. I think we have the same setup VF34 w/pinks on mine and modded on Jason's, other than that the TMIC to FMIC. We shall see what doug from Topspeed does...

 

I showed up when people were leaving and got on the dyno. So here is what my stock 2005 Saabaru (11k miles) posted:

166 hp
181 tq

Now there should be no excuses because you all have me to compare.

 

It was a nice day today. I had a ton of fun and also the fact that my dyno numbers seemed to be a little on the "unbelievable" side.

I got 271 WHP and 281 TQ today. AFAIK, the temp was in the high 40s and low 50s and the humidity was around 75%.

 

what Fong... no sticky strange marks on those sheets...

Good Job Dude... the paper dont lie... except for the pen written on it....



see Fong we all can have Good Dyno results.. and this isnt retouched

AT ALL!!!

 

212hp/235tq (or 250tq if you count the spike to 25psi)

This seems to truly be the heart breaker. Over at RS I dynoed 250hp/262tq just a couple of weeks ago!

 

^^^ Lololololololol

 

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

 

Oh yeah...

206.5 whp
200 wtq

The torque curve was as flat as a 4th grader's chest. :hsugh:

 

Italians or Americans?? ok that was wrong...

 

Nate, I do not laugh too often, but that's just way DOWN UNDER, Bloke..haha

 

American, silly.

My torque curve wasn't hairy enough to be Italian. :yumyum:

 

Nathan, that dyno sheet looks ghey. Not lesbo-ghey; man-ghey. :ugh: :laugh:

 

Were any of you other WRX guys also running the 91 oct stg2 map? I know Nate was running the 93 -- and you can definitely see the difference.

Oh well, at least I can fold down my rear seats.

 

I switched mine last night to the 93 map... not sure how much of a change it would make as mine was runnign really rich on both maps... and like Jason's mine wouldnt have relaly learnt that map.. though base power from Cobb they are both the same numbers... guess you guys better stop buyoing all these big name brands and let little ol me build you an ugly duckling exhaust that works!!! ha ha ha ha that way I can afford my new turbo etc...

Sog' I may hold out for a Super16G and mods... but we will see... chatted to the wife when I got home...

Told her I beat an STi with 1500 miles... she says

"Good, now you dont need to do anymore to your car cause it goes liek the one you wanted..." dang women... ooooh No I replied.. I am about $9000 ahead on purchase price so that means BIG TURBO and paint job.... so I am starting my plans now... so in the next year or so I wouild love to see either the Super16G and paint job... or an STi swap or somethign with some big mods... but this is the dream stage after a fun day... and No not inspired by Fong.. though that was a small contributor ha haha... once the business starts going good I told her Uncle Sam can pay for my Mods..ha ha ha

her reaction...........>>>>>> :bowdown: >>>> NOPE more like :roll:

 

^^:laugh: and it's nice to be an inspiration to you, Nathan. We'll always support your mod path no matter what your wife or bank account says with encouraging words and dyno sheets.

 

thanks Fong but I somehow sense you are trying to be witty... and I stress the trying part....









without my wife I would have no house or business so when she says no I go ok... then whip the ol fella out, knock her up and her hormones get whacked out then she succumbs to my wiley australian ways and I get what I want... sometimes...

 

Great numbers and congrats to everyone that dyno'd.

 

Definitely a heartbreaker. 242hp/315tq for me. I think I'll stick with my Mustang numbers :biggrin:

Thanks for letting us run! It was nice to meet some of you guys and hang out.

 

I don't know why everyone is getting worked up about their numbers, I'm sure everyone had higher expectations than what they dynoed, including me. But a dyno is merely a tool used to tune a car, it is not meant a benchmarker. That's what the track is for.

I look at it on the brightside, my car already feels quite fast, but I now know i'm rich as hell and can get a lot more out of it. My AFR's fell right to the 10:1 and flatlined there the whole dyno session lol, time to tune and get more out of her.

Here's my Beautiful plot: 190HP, 191 Trq, ~17PSI, my AFRs were crazy rich

 

holy @#$%!@#$%!@#$%!@#$%! fong!!!!! thats amazing.. lol

 

263.6 WHP and 286 TQ.....ooooooo yeah.

 

Dynapar, what is your setup, I have not been up to date on your car, but I am assuming you are AFI? If so those numbers are really low. are you on stock compression 2.2? I would think you should be up at stock wrx power easily, I guess it just further proves its all in the tune

I posted the pictures and videos that I took to my photo gallery. Keep in mind that the videos are anywere from 30-100MB. http://www.mlgez.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=7161
Most of the pictures are my car but a few parking lot pics and videos of Readymix and Jason's pulls??? Correct me if I have the names wrong. Next time I will bring my laptop and other cards and take a lot of everyone and everything if people want.

 

Here's my plots. Cobb stg2 91 octane map. I'm very satisfied with the shape of the torque and hp plots. The boost plot looks good, also -- however, my car usually runs a bit higher at around ~16.3-5 psi. This is plot is showing boost in the 15 psi neighborhood.

About the only thing that really concernes me is the afrs. The lower end (between 3300 - 4600 rpm) at full boost is a bit too lean (~11.6), imho, and the top end could actually be leaned out. I would imagine fixing these things would raise my torque curve since it was a bit on the low side. I'm thinking that the first pull that is way off (the red one) is due to the large amount of water that was in my exhaust. I was stupid and didn't think to go and drive around the block before strapping her down. I actually got shot in the face from the first pull. :laugh:

 

assuming AFI means what i think it means....yes. lol i am running the stock compression on the 2.2l which is 9:1. oddly enough thats what my AFRS were on the dyno. when i got home i went through my map and startd to lean things out. not too far just yet, cause i am still worried bout detonation. however instead od being in the 9s fir AFRS i am not mostly in the 10s. i am slowly working my way up to the 11s. as of no wi havent had enough time to give it a good run down the road to see what leaning it out did. i am sure it helped alot though. might have to go back up to DB in the near future and see what happened

 

I just checked Cobb's website and for a stock WRX on their Mustang dyno they recorded 169.9 hp and 174.3 tq. My stock Saabaru posted 166.3 and 181.6 yesterday.

It's apples to oranges, I know, but you have to compare something, and compared to Cobb's data, the numbers aren't that different. Then again, maybe my car is just really strong!

 

Well said, Bryan. Now we all have a good baseline to work from. I'm pretty sure I'll be taking another trip back to DB sometime this summer. :biggrin:

 

I'll post my dyno sheets here for a centralized dyno-day results thread. :hsugh:

 

And some pics:

 

fong's numbers are a huge surprise. i didnt think he'd even make that much. Let alone make more power than pete's STi.

 

all i can say is congrats on the succesful day and i look forward to getting down there and having some fun with you guys

had i gotten my car done a day earlier i probably could've made it down there.
