Title: Dyno results
Post by: BeetleBug on October 10, 2007, 20:02:28 pm
I was looking at the cal-look.com forum and the Vegas dyno event thread. The results got me thinking;

NA

188 hp / 163 torque
143 hp / no torque reading   
198 hp / 188 torque   

TURBO

500 hp / 501 torque
389 hp / 348 torque
268 hp / 232 torque
306 hp / no torque
515 hp / 504 torque
753 hp / 639 torque
460 hp / 456 torque
666 hp / no torque

First off - those turbo results are amazing! But what was going on in the NA class?

Two weeks ago I attended JPM`s dyno event in Sweden and while we only had two turbo cars there, one making 500hp and the other 260hp, we had one NA 1915ccm engine making 240hp and one other making 250hp. And what about Roman and his 285hp - street driven on pump gas?

OK - look at their Top20 list, 9 cars from Europe including #1 and #2 spot and so far this season I do believe the same Finnish STREET driven car will make the #1 spot again.

Are we taking over the NA class?  ::)

Please start the debate:

But yes to the taking over the N/A class apart from Maybe Shawn Geers???

Richie - yes I know but take away... let`s say 15%... and "our" NA results are still better. I guess there is still some races left over there so the Geers car can still make it. Quite interesting to follow that "fight" The Finnish car drives on the streets though, using pump gas. Can the Geers car match that?

Don`t know if any of the cars dynoed without the belt over there but the 250hp run was done with the belt on and tires slipping. 

Air
Belt
Gas
Flywheel
RWHP
Different dynos

All worth taking into consideration..

Kalle,just pulling your leg :D :D :D  The reality is that everything is different,we definately see better air at certain times of year than most of the california cars will ever see.
Just another factor ;)   
I dont think Shawn would enter his car anyway,but who knows.
Heres one for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we`re talking. Is turbo cal-look?  :-*

But back to the topic - mostly we are using the same products, same heads, same IDA`s + + + + +  We do hear about extremely high NA HP number from time to time but mostly those are 100% race engines. Where is the 230 - 290hp street engines from the US?

To me its a bit sad to see that turbos are taking over in the states... its probably just an coincidence in this "dyno" session, but as a whole the focus seems to have shifted from N/A to turbo. The swedes and JPM in particular makes impossible numbers seem easy.  130 horses pr liter is beyond good!
N/A is a gentleman sport  ;D


Correct me if im wrong, but good dynos correct their hp measurements from "actual air" to "lab condition air"...

The 198 / 188 NA motor is a full on real street motor, as in driven to the shops and has to deal with a range of temperatures, I know that that car's been driven in temps where 100 was the base line and whilst I can't comment on the dyno results I'm confident that on the same bit of tarmac NA vs NA that car will pretty much kick arse. I guess maybe the disparity in the fact that all their turbo HP is up and their NA HP is down may come from the fact that a turbo will make its own air where as NA sucks what's there and Vegas is in the desert, none of that dense Scandinavian air.

On the bright side, the cost of 48 idas is dropping like a rock. Seen several sets for under $700 recently. With the great exchange rate you guys should be snapping them up.

Thank you for replying Dominick and congrats with the runner up spot. I guess it is Nitrous 1 - Turbo 1 now?  :)

 Would you like to share with us your spec`s since I do know that many are considering to start playing with nitrous.

Jon,I am fairly sure the turbo cars were specifically invited to make a good impression,it wasnt a coincedence.It was ment to be that way,makes better reading and more impressive for a magazine article ;)

I am uncertain if the dyno corrects for air,more like the operator corrects for his building skills or lack of them sometimes :o

i have often wondered about gear ratios and the affect they have on readings,genrally they seem to use 3rd gear,now this could vary hugely from car to car,surely the lower the ratio the more torque? Unless they are all done with a 1/1 ratio gear with the same tyre size then surely this changes the readings? anyone know for sure?   cheers richie,uk

Well, I know for a Fact that JPMs dyno calibrates for the air, otherwise the readings would be of no help to him when using a dyno for its intended purpose, TUNING engines.

Usually the fourth gear is used as it gives the reading a better resolution, the dyno also reads the RPM of the engine, and between that and the speed of the wheels it should find out the total ratio. But I don’t know.  Another reason for using third gear might also be the safety rating on the rollers.

I've wondered about the differences in dynos and rolling roads a lot - I thikn the fairest dyno shoot out was the one that VW Trends ran, where all the engines were put on the same dyno and tested by the same operator. Obviously the air would change during the day, but the other factors would be the same.

Jon,wasnt JPM dyno I was thinking of,many of the dynoes I have seen over the pond[mainly engine dynoes,not roling roads] seem to rely on the operator input for such things,causing misleading infomation and figures,the track is still the best dyno,but even then the air at say Gardermoen will mean the car should run quicker than say Vegas.

I would be interested to know if the gear ratio/rpm is used to input info on JPMs dyno that actually affects the hp reading,will look into this,cheers richie,uk

JPM's dyno is known in Sweden for it's low readings. I have spoken to several tuners in his area.
His dyno is a Bosch unit and it reads the moment of the inertia of two heavy rolls. This is known to be the most exact way to measure on a rolling road. This dyno also doeas a roll out to measure the transmission power loss. 
This is very important as the power losses is depending on the wheel speed and rpm and it is not linear.
This is the one of the reasons why most dyno operators use third gear: At least on the reading the car has more HP and the that is what the customer likes to see.

Last year I dynoed my engine to 228 hp on JPM's dyno. I ran 11.290 - 116 mph with a 1700 lbs car including driver.
On the wallace racing calulator:
http://www.wallaceracing.com/et-hp-mph.php
It should have made 11.38 SEK on the HP from ET calculator
HP from MPH at the same calculator: 218 hp
HP from ET and weight from the calculator: 233 hp.
The dyno can't be that far away, right?

Sounds like JPM:S old race engine, the one that is in a Rallycross car in Norway now? 237 sounds VERY low for that engine - it made 10.03 on the quarter. How long time and how many races between the two dyno readings? Maybe major leakdown?

Thats right, same engine. Not raced between the two readings (rallycross), but it made 283 @ ca 8100 on JPMs, and 237 @ 6610 rpms on a almost new SUN dyno. The curve flatten out at 6600 on the SUN. Thats the different between thous two dynos. I have tryed many of my engines on the same dyno, and it never produses any more power over 7000, the best was 244 hp at 6530 (3 ltr t-4 ) but all of them screemd 8600 rpms or more, spes. JPMs old engine that still is the wildest 2.4 I have tried. no doupt!!! a masterpiece!

Weird...
Maybe we should do a dyno test on STT Emtecs dyno? :)
STT is a local company that makes Emission systems and engine development for Mitsubishi and emission systems for heavy vehicles.
Accuracy +/- 0.2% up to 10 000 rpm!! That is /- 0.6 hp on a 300 hp engine.

These were my thoughts,3rd gear = higher reading

Interesting,last time I dynoed my car was in Belgium for the DAS week a couple of years ago,it made 471 flwheel hP on a rolling road using 3rd gear,now using your wallace calc it makes,well lets say at little more using the mph& weight which I feel gives the most accurate info.The wallace calc is rwhp though isnt it?

Actually I don't know but it is rather OK if it is flywheel HP. If it is RWHP I had 233 rwhp on a street driven N/A 2387 with 044 heads. A bit too good to be true!

Interesting reading about power losses and dyno readings - my old 2276 IDA motor was dyno'd by John Maher when it ran 48IDFs at 187.5 at the flywheel. I bought it, put the IDAs on it and had it set up on a Mustang rolling road and it came out with 129 at the wheels. It ran a 12.09 @ 109mph in a 1640lbs car, so I know it wasn't short on power by that much! Can't see how you can lose nearly 60hp through the gearbox...


Title: Re: Dyno results
Post by: Roman on October 12, 2007, 19:39:41 pm
60 hp power loss is impossible.
Energy can't be destroyed or created. The 60 hp power loss would be heat if it isn't turned into acceleration. The oil in your tranny would have been cooked if you had a 60 hp loss.


Title: Re: Dyno results
Post by: Steve D. on October 12, 2007, 22:25:01 pm
I know the motor that made the 198/188- after a short jet change it made 204hp/199tq.  Peak power was at 6k, peak torque was at 4.5k, it was making 150tq @2.5k  This was all with 91oct. California gas, fan belt installed, and REAL muffler (Walker Dynomax)- no coat hanger mufflers here!  It has more in it, just have to find it.  The car drives super mellow until you put the hammer down, and cruises all over at 70+mph.  Even with the Vegas heat, over 100 miles were put on the odo. over the weekend in Vegas.  Fun time, hope it shows up next year.

Wow!  Great to see the following on the otherside of the world!   ;D

I'm Scott Faivre of German-Pride.com (http://www.german-pride.com), the guy who put on the inaugural Dyno Session in the Desert.  Thanks for all the great comments!  It makes the countless hours I put into the event all worth it!  ;)

The dyno we used was a Dynojet 248C with some software upgrades that makes it valid until 1400 HP or so.  We should be safe for a couple of years. ;D  The dyno is not isolated in a "lab type environment" so it uses and measures ambient air temps.  Vegas's elevation is 2165 ft above see level and the air has very little humidity.  The naturally aspirated cars could suffer from it.

We were to have 9 N/A cars, but 5 of them couldn't make it.  Shawn Geers car was to be one of them!  :(  EVERYONE wanted to see that car on the dyno!

N/A is definitely fading on the West Coast of the USA.  The cal-look and nostalgia guys like it, but the racers are all slowly becoming Turbo EFI guys.  The East Coast of the USA still has a lot of N/A cars, but I would think that it will only be a matter of time before they start going over to the otherside.

I was very pleased with the way the inaugural event went off.  Madson's 753 HP is a stout number that will be hard to top!  I have an article on German-Pride.com with all of the dyno sheets, etc. from the event.  I'll expand the article with motor stats in about a week.  (I need time to catch up and it's my daughter's birthday party this weekend.)

What do you guys think of those bitchin' trophies made from flywheels? ;D

Hope to see you guys in Vegas in 2008!

Scott Faivre

I'm Scott Faivre of German-Pride.com (http://www.german-pride.com), the guy who put on the inaugural Dyno Session in the Desert.  Thanks for all the great comments!  It makes the countless hours I put into the event all worth it!  ;)

The dyno we used was a Dynojet 248C with some software upgrades that makes it valid until 1400 HP or so.  We should be safe for a couple of years. ;D  The dyno is not isolated in a "lab type environment" so it uses and measures ambient air temps.  Vegas's elevation is 2165 ft above see level and the air has very little humidity.  The naturally aspirated cars could suffer from it.

We were to have 9 N/A cars, but 5 of them couldn't make it.  Shawn Geers car was to be one of them!  :(  EVERYONE wanted to see that car on the dyno!

N/A is definitely fading on the West Coast of the USA.  The cal-look and nostalgia guys like it, but the racers are all slowly becoming Turbo EFI guys.  The East Coast of the USA still has a lot of N/A cars, but I would think that it will only be a matter of time before they start going over to the otherside.

I was very pleased with the way the inaugural event went off.  Madson's 753 HP is a stout number that will be hard to top!  I have an article on German-Pride.com with all of the dyno sheets, etc. from the event.  I'll expand the article with motor stats in about a week.  (I need time to catch up and it's my daughter's birthday party this weekend.)

What do you guys think of those bitchin' trophies made from flywheels? ;D

Hope to see you guys in Vegas in 2008!

Scott Faivre

Very nice trophies and I would like to come over next year - will you have a long distance trophy  :) I`m looking forward to read about the different engines that got dynoed.

I bet Shawn is making way over 300 N/A. 10.58 second time out? That car just sounds nasty.

Now that`s some interesting info right there - again thanks for sharing. If only those Autocrafts cylinders was available over the counter. I like the idea of having a streetable engine that turns into a hard core race engine by pushing a button.  :)

Forgive the delay, but I've got the official results (http://www.german-pride.com/Joomla/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=32) of the event all up on my site now.  I also compiled a video of some shots and video clips from the event.  Registered members who are logged in, can view the video HERE (http://www.german-pride.com/Joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=58).  If you are not logged in, you'll get an error message.

I still get goosebumps listening to the sound of these cars turnin' 9 Grand on the dyno! ;D

SIMPLY AWESOME!!!

The return of the Fast Fiat is on there too!  And of course, Eric Madson's record setting 753 HP pull!

Enjoy!

Thanks Scott! Of all the cars on the video the one that really impresses me is the Devils Hot Rod. It sounds like he is reving that thing like a Formula 1 engine  :) Eric Madsons 753hp is also crazy - very impressive. Worlds most powerful VW!

The only question is... "Will we see an 800 HP VW in 2008?"  ;D

What's really neat is that the 2007 PRA Pro Mod Champion, Eric Calabrese (aka Red Baron), got up to 622HP before he spun his tires on the dyno rollers and smoked them!  If you look at his dyno chart, you can see that too!  I wonder how much HP he is truly making?

And now, something from the mouths of babes...  When my 7 year old daughter saw the Red Baron go up in smoke, her exact quote was this... "Daddy!  He did just like the T-shirt design!"  ;D

And for your reference...

You know Scott - we have a blind man over here that builds some powerful VW engines. He dynoed his street driven VW to a whopping 727hp... maybe he will be the first to break the 800hp barrier :)

Dont think so, I have never seen it run a full 1/4 mile successfully.

Best run is a low 10 in Sweden - seems like it is a hard for them to get that monster to run properly on a track.

I do believe the bucket is for all the oil he spilled when he tested the Georotor pump he is holding in his hand........

VERY COOL!  I wonder how many pounds of boost he was running?  Mike Scott's Pewter 55 Oval was only running 29-30 lbs when he made 515 HP with a muffler on his street driven car.  I'd love to see 45lbs+ dialed in and see what kind of crazy HP numbers he'd make! ;D
