i just dynoed my car today on a mustang dyno and i dynoed 211.1 hp and 391.9 torque and yes i mean 391.9. I know it's not right but why is it so far off? Whats the deal? Any help would be much appreciated.

Please scan and post the chart. Without seeing the chart, any comments are just a guess.

 

alright thanks, i'll try and do that tonight.

 

man that has to be an error lmao... unless you changed your gears or something...

 

here is the chart...

 

Haha, wow. Factory freak!!

 

what gear did you dyno in?

 

it was a 4th gear pull. I'm not really that concerned with how much hp and torque i making at the moment, i just did it for fun. But now i want to find another dyno and test it to see what the hell is wrong. i have a pop charger and evo 2 exhaust.

 

Try to find a shop that uses ''Dyno Jet''

You'll get better information!

 

The dyno wasn't setup right. A dynojet will give you roughly 10% more. A mustang is more for tunning.

 

What the?

Nissan must of #@$# up and gave you a truck engine.

 

it's obvious to the casual observer that the dyno wasn't set up correctly. you should have asked for your money back. those numbers are so far off, i would have laughed at them.

 

Maybe all the techs were busy , so they let the custodian set up your Dyno

Try Dyno Jet...

 

If you throw those #s in the formula for HP it shows there's something wrong. I'm guessing the weight of something was wrong.

 

I’m sorry but the numbers are wrong. I’ve never seen a dyno where the horizontal line is mph. The next run on a different dyno will give more accurate numbers.

 

That would be a diesel turbo from Nissan’s commercial line. Cool.

 

haha i hope its not a truck engine. well i knew they were off i was just curious as to why it might have happened. thanks for the responses, i guess i'll just wait for a dyno night to come around where they use a dyno jet.

 

dude, take it back and have em do it again.. what a waste of time and money.
If that was a correct reading you should be doing 1/4 in about 11 sec.

the hp reading seem low too.

 

group buy for a popcharger and evo 2 exhaust anyone?

 

From what I can see with your chart your weight was off and you dynoed in the wrong gear. In the 350Z the 5th gear is the 1.1 not 4th. You have to add weight for fuel and passenger. If you have a full take of gas you would add about 168lbs and you would add 160lbs for a driver. To bring your total weight to around 3500lbs. This might help!!
