well, I went to the dyno today to lay down a couple of baseline runs...
here is the graph:


it will be interesting to see what my bolt ons will get me...

 

I wanna see a new sheet with all your mods done!!!!

 

with a lot of luck I'll have the mods on and dyno'd by Friday, if not it will be next week

 

Its pretty intersting how both the torque and hp lines waver right at 3800rpm....hmmm, lets start a pool on hp and tq numbers after mods

 

Damn almost 60 hp drivetrain loss.

 

they waver there, because that is the point of the secondary intake runners opening...

 

I know, I was just pointing it out .

 

That's actually pretty good for an automatic - just under 20%. Some automatics lose up to 25% or more.

 

How does that compare to your old CL numbers? Is it odd that the torque is only 3lbft less than the HP? If you look at about 20% loss torque should be around 186.

I don't remember what the stock torque numbers should be. I think the old dyno you had with crippen showed 223.8hp and only 189.5lbft.

Ah, I'm confused now.


Oh, I see. The max torque numbers were just from a spike at the beginning of the graph.

 

Astroboy,
So what's the mileage on the TL?? Aren't you going to break it in again before sticking all the mods back in??

 

You think astro is going to wait??

 

It makes me wonder if the TLs really do point a little more hp then the cls.

yup, that is a BONE STOCK run...
I had just turned 1500km's...I broke the car in very gently....much much moreso than my CL-S...I imagine I'll make more power with this car than I did with the CL-S with the same mods..
I never did a baseline in my CL so I don't know what it would have been stock...
it should be noted that the torque figure really is only about 185ft/lbs at around 3500RPMs...the first part where it is higher is only torque convertor lock up...

 

nice... next we'll see how the mods will change that graph!

 

Nice!!

cant wait to see the dyno chart with al ur mods

 

I thought standard loss was 15%?

 

I would say that at least 20% is average,,,and 25% is normal for parasitic loss of power thru an automatic...

 

How did you get to dyno it with the rpms so low? Everytime I dynoed my car, they could never get it to dyno anything below 4k rpm.

Spiro

 

3rd gear roll ons in SS....
shift up to 3rd, slow down as much as you can, then get on the gas...

 

The TLS loses over 20% in the drive train. Not under.

21.423077% or so.

 

not bad, the auto maximas drop from 222 to 170 ... ouch!

 

I think we tried it, and right when you hit the gas it owuld automatically shift to a lower gear. I dont even remember what gear they used for the dyno. I'll take it again =)

 

manual trannies lose on average 15-20%
automatic trannies lose on average 20-25%
