I had a great time at this (my first) dyno day. Ed was wicked cool to finally meet, Peter was a fudging riot, the Silvia crowd was all very welcoming and helped me learn a lot about their cars, the Lexus dude was great to talk to, and the JER staff was all very accommodating to my idiotic questions.

I stuck around most of the day...mainly to see the late-arriving-Joe's APS TT run. You'll catch one at the end of my self-loving video. Holy freaking crap!! And the JER guy said this was much less than previous output due to a rebuilt turbo or something.

Of course I only processed my own vids so far but here's the first I have. Typically my POS digicam works really well (especially in-car)...but for some reason it looks like crap this time.

(Can someone please tell me how to embed this video?...I've searched!)

I have some clips of the Charger SRT8(? what # is this?) but need some time to convert the files. Besides that I don't have anything else worth posting. Most of you missed Joe's runs though...which put the Charger's hero status (~330whp) to SHAME.

 

wow, that's some monster number. Great meet at the dyno

 

219whp was your best run? little low no?

 

Different dyno.....dyno dynamics reads lower than most types...it would be nice to see his before mod numbers to compare....oh well

 

Nice GTG at JER today. Cool vid clip Steve.

 

Sweet vid bro...this is the comparo from before and after the turbos were
rebulit....GTM's dynojet vs. JER's heartbreaker DD....

Before Rebuilt: DynoJet: 545rwh, 500trq -13psi
DynoDynamics:450rwh, 500trq -13psi

After Rebulit: DynoJet: 535rwh, ?trq - 14psi
DynoDynamics: 430rwh, 530trq -14psi

These new rebuilt jobs obviously lose out a little..but it feels like it spools faster and in alot more responsive at the lower rpms...cool vid none the less and good burgers and dogs.

 

Crom, I know that DD reads a little lower than DJ but damn 100whp lower? I wanted to get my car dyno'd yesterday at JER but I had to work and compare it to GTM DynoJet.

 

Yea I know....a little strange for sure - I'd love to see someone else boosted comparisons that have been to both.

 

But then again those are just #'s if your car runs great that's all it matters.

 

damn, i wanted to see Joe's runs but had to take off. Good to see you guys there.

Thanks to Ed for setting this whole thing up! Good lookin out man!

oh, peter, my best and final run was 235.5. (i know you were curious)

 

Hey just wanted to stop by and say hi.

I had the black sc300. I ended up putting down 162hp (185 torque). The car comes with 220hp . I had 2 power dips. Most likely from the need to do the 90k and spark plugs.

I had fun.

 

nice pull Joe. We need to setup for another dyno day in a few months.

 

sup Kyle.Welcom to the forum.

 

Thanks ...prob see you guys on thurs at ABACS...

 

219?? hmm thats odd....your description says you have jwt intake and borla dual exhaust.....

I have jwt intake and high flow cats....and my best run was 225.


Does having aftermarket rims make a big difference to numbers? It shouldnt be that much right?

How big were your rims?

Oh BTW, I went to JER before the setup date. Maybe the weather made a difference?

 

I have 18" Enkei's (245/40 & 275/40) so they shouldn't be too much of a factor. I have my OEM cats so maybe those are restrictive enough that your hi-flows are more efficient than my exhaust? I dunno. You have an 03?

I'm ok with the #'s but I can't seem to give non-Z people a good explanation for what is accounting for ridiculous drivetrain loss (24% not including mods). Regardless of dyno, that's wicked high.

technosmurf - Hey, welcome. It was nice chatting with you and FWIW I learned a lot by just seeing your dyno chart and hearing the shop owner's explanation.

 

Man, my best run is only 210.

I have a non-rev up engine and everything stock. I am pretty disappointed with the number. But now at least I get a baseline dyno number. I can put some mod on in the future and go back to do another dyno run and hopfeully see some improvement on the number.

 

I have an 04. but I did the dyno with the OEM 17s. lol. I now have 19s on it and i wanna redyno to see if the rims made a big difference.....I know it shouldnt but I've seen cases where they have.

I saw a supercharged 350z from GTM that made around 360ish with oem 17s. that Z now has 20's and redynoed at Roughly 280 or less,

I know that Dyno Dynamics and Dyno Jet make different #'s but it shouldnt be that BIG.

 

So is your exhaust setup Y-back or Cat back?

 

So they had the AC on for your dyno and that girl last night said I'm getting all hot and sweaty.

Petter I think something about your car makes people uncomfortably hot.
