Saturday Dyno
I am finally getting a chance to post the results from Saturday’s dyno session. First off I’d like to say sorry to fastvtecCL and Zootking for missing them; assumed you guys made alternate plans. Also, it was nice meeting the others who were there, IBP300 (IS300 Turbo), Dave01 (02 Corvette), 1SICKLEX (didn’t run his GS) and of course, DRRick (brand new G35 Coupe).
First I’ll cover what the other guys did, correct me if I am wrong here…
First up was Dave01 in his 02 Corvette manual with just an intake; he laid down just under 300 WHP with about 320 LB/FT. The nice part was that he was over 300 LB/FT for a good portion of the run, which is serious twist.
Next was a Mini Cooper S with an intake; I don’t recall this guys name as he wasn’t part of our group. He turned about 140 HP and I forgot the torque. I can’t believe how little front and rear over hang there is on that car; the wheels are literally at the corners.
Next was IBP300 in his 01 IS300 with a turbo kit on a stock engine. He laid down around 240 HP with 225 LB/FT with just about 7 PSI boost. That car sounded sweet as the turbo spooled, I just love that sound.
Then came DrRick in his new G35 Coupe; he put down about 225 HP and 218 LB/FT. Now that I have got to see the G35 Coupe up close I have to say I do like it!! The lines on that car are incredible!!
Now on to my pulls; as some may recall I was going to run my car testing a few items. All runs were done with the ECT at about 170 F and the intake temps were holding steady between 88 and 90 F.
The first thing tested was my intake. This is the custom intake I made and was pitted against the stock intake without the resonator. One nice part was that at no point did it loose power but the gains were minimal. Peak HP was only up 2 HP and 4 LB/FT with maximum gains of about 5 HP and the same in torque. This is not quite as good as the modified AV6 intake I previously dyno’d which netted slightly better gains albeit lower values since it was on an ’01 CL-S versus my now ’03 CL-S6. So it looks like my design might be a limitation versus say a Comptech Ice Box which I would be interested to test the same way. I was just surprised that it produced lower gains than the AEM AV6 intake, oh well, live and learn…
The next item tested was the IAT spoof. I made a box with a toggle switch and two potentiometers. The toggle switched allowed me to switch between stock and modified signals. The two pots allowed me to modify the IAT and MAP signals. With just modifying the IAT signal dropping it to about 50 F, a 40 F degree drop, I lost peak 3 HP and 2 LB/FT. Below 5k revs the curves were identical but above that point is where power was lost. I attempted to adjust the MAP signal to lean it out a bit since reducing the perceived IAT values would cause the ECU to add more fuel but this didn’t work out. One time I dropped it too much and lowered power by almost 30 HP. I tried a couple of more times to get some tuning correct but never achieved a power gain. With a little more time I might have gotten the tuning correct and gain a few ponies but this would have taken more than what I wanted to put in it in time and money for something I was going to yank out. But this does prove that modifying the IAT does nothing in this car except lowering power.
Finally for complete power output as compared to my runs in August; the differences since then were my custom intake which might have lowered output slightly from what might have been achieved. It also includes my hand polishing the intake manifold and then the Mugen T-Stat and Fan Switch. Peak power was up almost 6 HP with torque up over 7 LB/FT. The great part is that torque was up over 5 LB/Ft from 4000 – 6500 revs and had a maximum gain of almost 8 LB/FT.
Max Power 246.7
Max Torque 213.6
Now what does this mean? Based on the TOV claims the gains were mostly due to the lower engine temps but can’t be verified because I didn’t measure them for the runs in august. Plus, I gained more from the AEM AV6 intake than my own which might have reduced the power potential 2 – 3 ponies. Apparently the polishing provided little to the gains, not enough to warrant the time or expense; but it was fun to try nevertheless. In all I am pleased with the numbers as I ended up with the second highest output of the day.
I really want to see someone else try running their car on the dyno with the stock intake without the resonator and then run one of the aftermarket intakes. This really needs to be done, I would but I don’t have another intake at this time. I considered the Comptech box but with the possible purchase of the SC it doesn’t make sense. See the below plot:

hey scalbert,
don't worry about it, were sorry for being late... we were just plaining on going to one bar for a couple of beers and yea we ended up staying out to 5:30am..
well we tryed to dyno our cars but the guys at the dyno were assholes. we got there at 12:30 and they had a car on the dyno and it was someones that worked there. we asked how long it would be he said 2 hours so we told him were going to get somthing to eat and come back because were from out of town and we really wanted to dyno our cars.. so we came back a 1 hour later and they told us it was going to be ANOTHER 2 HOURS
so we got pissed and left..me and zootking still had fun.. we got a couple of video we need hosted including me vs zootking on the highway..
p.s sorry we didn't get to meet you scalbert but thanks for everything..

Hmm
The AIT spoof (messing with the O2 sensor in the Cat Converter) was funny... That guy on Ebay is probably making a killing and people are losing power....LOL...
I am waiting for Scalbert to get a Super Charger and work the bugs out before I get one..LOL...

Question on that G35. How much is that 225 number really going to improve?
For a RWD with stock wheels & rubber I would expect better then 20% loss.

Everyone always seems to blame OUR losses on the Tranny and FWD configuration.

Like why does AWD loose more to the ground? Because it has to turn more than 2 wheels.

According to the dyno operator the Z and the G35 have significant drivetrain loss for a manual, for whatever that is worth. But yes, in general, RWD manuals will loose more than a FWD manual. Between the driveshaft, rear differential, etc. there ends up being more mass to turn.

you know, i have another theory...its called NISSAN/INFINITY OVERSTATED HP!!!! its happening now with their current maxima....the altimas with 240 hp are dynoing the SAME or BETTER than the maxima with "supposedly" 255 hp....i wouldnt be too surprised if Nissan pulled a bit of a HYUNDAI with the HP overstating..

How 'bout this theory, the dyno was reading 5% too low... 
So here are the corrected numbers:
Corvette 313 WHP
IS300 Turbo: 253 WHP
G35 Coupe: 237 WHP
CL-S 6-Speed: 260 WHP
I like these numbers much better...

Damn scalbert...you got me itching for the Mugen T-Stat even more so now. So now after like a month or two, there is still no "odd" things that are happening that is attributed to the T-Stat right? Also could the T-Stat potentially void my warranty. I know they have to prove that it was the cause, but because the T-Stat makes the fans come on at a different temp and the fact that your using a T-Stat not even designed for our cars or engine, do you think the dealer would say something?

The stat won't turn the fans on sooner, it will just allow the coolant to flow to the radiator sooner. The fan switch I installed will turn the fans on sooner.
As for the warranty, depends who you talk to at the dealer. But the parts are made for the positions they fit into so they would not pose an issue or cause a problem.
Mine have worked fine without any "odd" thing occuring, just normal operation with the gauge showing a couple of ticks lower.

sorry to jump in all late to the discussion. first i want to say, as usual, cool getting together with you steve. about my dyno, i expected anywhere from 220 to 230 at the wheels, which is exactly what i got. i would like to go back to the dyno since i just got my first oil change and break-in is over. as CLUofI stated, on a hard shift to second, the car will wiggle sideways now. and i get a very noticeable bark going into third. as far as drivetrain loss, i dont know. maybe they are over-rating the engines. i do know that a multi-piece drive shaft, 6 gears, LSD, etc all rob some power before it gets to the ground. i havent actually had the chance to try anyone on the road but im sure that will come. here is the dyno sheet.

Just checking that you have a 6spd and not auto? Which gear did you dyno in? Remember on the Z and G35 5th gear is the 1:1 ratio and not 4th (like most manuals).

Next was IBP300 in his 01 IS300 with a turbo kit on a stock engine. He laid down around 240 HP with 225 LB/FT with just about 7 PSI boost. That car sounded sweet as the turbo spooled, I just love that sound.
Then came DrRick in his new G35 Coupe; he put down about 225 HP and 218 LB/FT. Now that I have got to see the G35 Coupe up close I have to say I do like it!! The lines on that car are incredible!!
Mine..

You say 218?Quite impressed with a the G35 power actually. Considering it is bone stock and not broken in it puts down more TQ than your ride and a TURBO IS300! It is also lighter than our cars. Did the dyno shop have a car scale?

What mods does Scalbert have?
From those charts the G has higher HP and TQ to about 5500rpm and it's stock not broken in and lighter? Does anyone else not find that impressive?
When the G35 gets some Z mods and broken in it is going to a rocket. Probably a good intake and some exhaust mods will increase the top end on the G. And the fact it is lighter and RWD it will probably be faster and more consistant when launching. Time will tell....
I love my car but overall the G is better performance wise (handling, braking etc). I just can't argue that.

Yes, when Rick's car gets a few more miles and he adds a few part the power will climb. I suspect that simple bolt-ons will put his WHP in the 250 - 260 range which will be very nice indeed.
On my dyno, the red line was from a dyno I did at the same shop back in August when the car had only 800 miles on the OD. It had Comptech Headers zand the AEM Accord V6 intake on it. The blue line was the recent one and the changes made from the August plot were as follows: Swapping out the AEM intake for custom one, hand polishing the intake manifold (which obviously amounted to nothing significant), and running a 180 T-Stat with a lower temp fan switch.
