Did the Church Automotive dyno day sponsored by G35driver.com this morning and got a nice surprise

My Dynos

Hp and Trq

Trq and A/F

I pulled away from Churchs' with a big ole' sh*t eatin grin on my face!

Thanks again to the guys at Church Automotive. A great bunch!

 

Sounds right considering two local stock Z's dyno'd 262-263whp on a dynpack. So you have roughly gained 15-25 whp given your mods sounds over a stock Z decent gains....btw I would send the TS flash back your a/f is all over the place.

 

Great numbers especially on 91 octane. I would get the AF ratio re-done

 

Those are some of the best numbers that I've seen for the naturally aspirated engine. And the horsepower curve is so smooth. Good job.

 

Thanks for the replies.

Yeah the A/F is "a little" lean 3.5-4.5k so back to TS I go. Overall pretty happy though.

Missed you this morning Rickdogg. I was hoping to get an A/F differential between the DynaPack and ultrawideband I think that you have installed. Silly sponsors Maybe next time huh?

 

nice job.

Now off subject
Sponge, where did you get the sunroom installed?

 

The dealer subcontracted it to the Webasto factory nearby here in Ca. Traded the $1200 billet grill the dealer tried to tack on for the sunroof

 

Yeah, it is actually very close. Last time it was only 1 to 2 tenths off with the wideband being more accurate of course

 

Id really like to know how that happened, Im not contradicting, just curious. Dont Z's normally output around 230-240 whp? So how did stock Z's output 262-263 whp that would mean those cars are coming from the factory with about 320 hp. . .right. . .or something around that. Thats just an educated guess seeing as how the M3 has 333 crank and usually outputs 271 whp.
Get back to me on this b/c Im really interested.

Just from what Ive read on this forum..Church Automotive is known for thier high reading Dynapack dyno

 

Very nice numbers for your mods!!! That is impressive when i was n/a i was 292 rwhp! All of my mods in my sig but the turbonetics kit!

 

+1 People know Church Automotive put out high number all over the country

 

My Z on a dynojet was getting 270 corrected HP and 235 torque for a automatic with a stall convertor. This was at AAMS dyno though, but my air fuel was 13.1-13.3 across the board. So if your airfuel ratio gets better you can probably gain some power again. Those are good dyno numbers regardless. I would like to know the dyno numbers after your air fuel gets better.

Thanks Glen

 

yeah it's a dyno/elevation/octane/temp/weather issue cause Zmego1985 should be killing most NA Z's

also it's how the ECU is currently running and possibly what year model with the ECU

 

Thanks Sentry my Z is finally running good after all the problems i had in the past. AAM said i should have a few more ponies, because a stall convertor shows a little bit of a loss on a dyno, because of more slippage than a factory convertor. I just ordered up the G-Tech SS and motordyne #3 plenum cooler setup, and will let everyone know my times as soon as i can once i get both of them installed. Its getting cold in Masschusetts at night around the high 40's so i should have good times.

Thanks Glen

 

He is on a dynapack! A dynapack measures rwhp with the wheels off, so you get higher numbers, plus like already mentioned hes at a high reading dyno.

Most people dyno on dynojets, this is a different kind of dyno, these read lower, for example I dyno'd 239whp on a dynojet stock. With my mods I dyno'd at 262whp on the same dynojet. A few friends had their stock Z's dyno'd locally on a dynapack(same as above) and dyno'd 257-260whp. That does not mean their Z's are faster or as fast or as powerful, its a different dyno, you really cant compare numbers.

 

Folks using DynaPacks include Turbonetics and Jim Wolf.

 

What does this have to do with what we are talking about? Im obviously reffering to regular people dynoing mostly on dynojets not tuner shops. Of course they would use a dynapack they can adjust load and tune much better on a dynapack than on a dynojet, but im sure you already know that. I didnt say nobody uses dynapacks just that the "norm" on internet forums when talking whp numbers is Id say 7/10 times dynojet.

 

Removing 80lbs of wheel & tire will help the numbers a bit.

 

yeah a dyno is only useful in measuring yourself against yourself or maybe against others on that same dyno

283whp sure sounds nice though, but can be a little misleading.

some people have gone to their local whatever dyno and dynoed 200 or even 195whp stock. Others go to their local whatever dyno and dynoed 260whp stock. IMO it's a myth to say some engines are stronger than others. Maybe back in the era when engines were handmade, but they're all the same now. A good break in (whatever that might actually be) might equate to 5whp or something, but otherwise if you have 2 Z's in the same location, same gas, same temp, same mileage, I think it's going to come down to the ECU and how you drive your car typically with how the ECU adjusts
