ok so i am at this car show and they have a dyno so i am like what the hell it never hurt anyone.

so 1st run i go from 3rd and i floor it. they say 185hp and like 235tq i am like umm there is somethin wrong with your dyno and there like nope that seems normal for a 4cyl im like ok

so the next run i go from 4th i floor it. they say 145hp and like 190tq im like wtf this is gay.

last run is from a 3rd again this time i dynoed 175 and 230tq i am like wtf so i am seein wat chould be wrong i look at my coolent temp it is ****** 245 i am like **** i have to get this off this dam dyno before i blow it.

but 185/235 is my best so far hopefully next time i get a good dyno

That deserves a big WTF

So with all tose mods a bone stock 2.2 is putting down the same HP on pull #2? And they say nothing is wrong? This is where you say thank you and run like hell cause they are clueless!

wow, thats crazy. ive never seen numbers so far off!! that thing needed to be calibrated or something.

I don't think i've ever seen a stock ss/sc dyno that low. I dyno'd 218hp and 197tq with just cai and full exhaust

Now line them all up and get a running start and with palm open give them a running slap for screwing up that bad. then once you do that **** on the dyno just for fun

poppagun

maybe i will do that

to me, it seems like on all dyno runs, they will have a fan in front to simulate air comming in. I did not see a fan, so that may be one reason why the numbers were so low, and your temp. was so high. There was no air to cool it down.

physics wise, to get 235 tq and 190 hp on an engine that redlines at 7000 rpms means that your engine would have to fall on its face at around 5000 rpms, literally.

every dyno is different...and should only be used to eitehr tune or see how much you've gained from a baseline.....when will people learn....

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. Did they give you the printouts?? It would have to look pretty funny.

Dude that dyno's a POS!!! How do they calculate your HP without knowing your RPMs??? They must be getting your RPMs from the tires which is crap.

Everytime I've had my car dyno'd they put a reflective sticker on the supercharger pulley so they can read the RPMs. And of course the hood is usually OPEN during a pull!

poppagun

no all they gave me is a paper with my car type and my numbers on it i dont even know where that is i was so mad.

Agreed, but I don't think that has anything to do with his post. He just probably wanted a base line because of his curiosity. Any who they must not have any clue what is going on. They must have bought the dyno and don't know anything about. It is definitely out of calibration. The dyno is way off no matter what type of dyno it is. I hope you didn't have to pay much for it. A fan would of helped ALLOT.

you look like a 10 year old. they took advantage of you man.

RBC

LOL

tREBs

those are some messed up numbers... wow

philco_3

where was the show at? both dynos that i have seen the owners never actually got behind the wheel and did the runs them self.

TheCaptain

All i'll say is: Hosed!
It'll be interesting to see what you're actually pulling!

^ Understatement of the year!

Can I be the first to raise the BS flag...Please. Our cars almost allways pull a higher HP number on a dyno than torque, WTF. Are you serious or just going for a quick joke.... NO FAN??? COOLANT 245???? NO PRINTOUT???? I really hope you didn't pay for this cuase i could have jacked your car up in the front.... let you run out 3rd and gave you my estimate on how much power you were producing for free!!! Besides any dyno I have seen you don't run the car, the dyno operators do.... That is a sensitive piece of equipment!

Anyone else with me on this??? And I'm not trying to be mean here, but it don't add up!

poppagun

no i will look for my paper but i cant find it i have no ****** idea wat i did with it it is makin me mad.

Dead Zen

dude those are like backwards V-TAK #'s

bhowman1980

I think either your trying to pull everyones leg or your looking at the wrong numbers! post up a picture of the dyno printout!
