About Me
Most recent Pizza Day Run (top left):

For some reason my ignition system was causing the DPR dyno to "abort" the dyno run after the first warm up run at 5200 rpms.  I ran 8 or 9 dyno runs there and the same thing happened every time. DPR reloaded the DynoJet software but no change.  DPR concluded that my Nology ignition system was the cause.  Don't ask me!  I took the car to the street to some demo rides for other people that attended the Pizza Day event and the car pulled with no problems. In addition, the car pulled on the dyno with no problems.  Must be something with the ignition pickup on their dyno.  I've "heard" that some ignition pickups are too sensitive.

 

Oh well.  Until next time on a different dyno.

Anyway.... You can see from the dyno run that the car was making serious power.

Notes on the 4th. dyno run (2nd. down on left):

This run was at 20 psi boost.  I've run higher (23 psi) and the HP went much higher...but I choose to submit this dyno run because this is the realistic limit that most of us will run.  The car ran solid on the dyno with no detonation. The boost was a little hard to control because I messed with the wastegate spring and hadn't "dialed" it in yet.

The only difference between dyno 3 and dyno 4 (the most recent) is:

Huntley Racing Cat bypass pipe (I had no cat before), 2 psi more boost, and no glass pack and Huntley Racing chips in place of the old Autothority K27 chips (these were a joke! @$595).The net result: +43HP & +13TQ to the wheels!!!

 

The Huntley Chips really made the car come alive.  I recommend these big time!

 

I was really amazed.  I think I could do 350HP to the wheels at 23 psi with no problems.  When driving the car, it wants to really run at 23 psi.  I drove home to LA from San Diego today and the car pulls much harder at 23 psi that it does at 20.

 

The next steps...

Bored out throttle body

Max ported intake

Electronic Boost controller to smooth out the peaks and valleys!

 

A little FYI.... GET A CAT BYPASS PIPE.  You'll be amazed at the difference!!!

NOTE: THESE DYNOS ARE FROM THE OLD GREY STREET CAR THAT WAS SOLD TO VICTOR ARANDA. 

DYNO CHARTS FROM THE NEW RED CAR WILL BE POSTED SOON.

5th. dyno day. 

Problems with the DynoJet inductive lead caused the dyno to "abort" the runs at 5200 rpms.

The dyno charts below were for the 135k mile 944 turbo (stock long block engine).

This is a overlay of a comparison of my car vs. Tim Richards car.  Tim has a K26/6 vs. my K27/6 turbo.  Tim has an electronic boost controller, I have the Powerhaus head.  Tim has no cat, I have a glass pack in place of the cat. Both with same boost --->>> tony_tim_overlay.jpg (55940 bytes)
