I finally got around to dyno testing my Z. It maxed out at 233.9 SAE HP on a Dynojet during the last of three runs. From what I've seen on this site that is about average. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The speed shop that performed the dyno test also measured the drivetrain losses by leaving the car in gear after the second pull and disengaging the clutch (reversing the forces on the drum). The lost power was quoted at 90 HP for a speed of 140mph. I have three questions:

1. Has anyone else done this? And if so what numbers did they get.

B. Does loading the coast side of the pinion and ring gear set produce accurate numbers?

 

So no one here can answer these questions? What about you M.E.s?

Baseline Dynojet in Calgary, Alberta Canada.
Seems I may have the new record for highest baseline (?)
Max HP: 242.3
Max Torque: 230.6

Conditions were as follows:
Location: Calgary, Alberta Canada
Elevation: 3,740 ft / 1,140 metres
Temperature: 26 C or 78.8 F
Pressure: 100.75 kPa
Dew Point: 9 C or 48.2 F
Relative Humidity: 41%
2003 CS Performance with no mods and ~11,000 km/6,835 miles on the odometer.
91-Octane Shell Optimax Pump Gas
Both runs w/ open hood and fan blowing prior to pull

...and the proof
(red line = first run)
(blue line = second run five minutes later)

 

the dyno

 

I think someone had 244

 

i thought someone hit 252

not sure if it was on a dynojet

 

...oh well, add me to the statistics (if anyone's keeping them).

 

Just curious, what do stock automatics get?

On a side note, perhaps this board should get forums for people to post their 1/4 mile times and slips and another for dyno results. Maxima.org has had that along w/discussion boards for each. Actually there's one for just racing, but street racing talk there isnt allowed and another for dyno discussion.

 

See my Signature. That was my Baseline. I'm still waiting to get some free time to see what the mods have done.

 

hehehhe... better than what the rx-8 guys are getting.
