came across this dyno of a 2.3 dyno with dc header and intake...makes my car suddenly feel soooooo underpowered...

 

thats still weak. Im hoping i pull at least that. My goal is to pull 150 at the wheels for now and ill be happy. I know its hard with intake, header and exhaust but after i get cam gear and cam then maybe ill be close to 150whp. Any ideas on what a dyno chart of a stock 2.3 looks like?

 

Good luck finding the stock dynos.

Here's mine with:

Intake, header, exhaust, racing cat, cam gear, pulleys, fuel pressure regulator, ignition, plug wires,



Still working on getting it up there.

 

I'm thinking it shouldn't be too hard to break 150 for you anymore

 

with turbo running at low boost like 10psi or lower i think u might see about at least 180 to the wheels. What u think?

 

sorry niedejb, i haven't been following your turbo post. is it in yet? have you gotten a chance to dyno it? i'm really curious to see how much you'll get. any predictions?

 

Yeah its on. Dyno saturday. Got 143 normally aspirated.

I figure the turbo is worth a conservative 70 hp @ 10 psi (where the wastegate is set). I plan on tuning to 13 so we'll see.

Heres a quote from fastvteccl:

My goal will be 242 hp :P....Man that'd be nice knowing I started 55 hp behind.
