Default Dynoed the 93 5speed yesterday!

Well, I dynoed my baby yesterday at the JPI Importz Dallas meet. The only mod I have is the dual electric fans. I ended up getting right at 175 rwhp and it looks like 163 tq. I did a search and the only thing I came up with for numbers on a stock sc was 176. I was expecting more with the fans, but I could be low for any number of reasons.
does anyone have any other numbers from when they ran their stock sc300 so I can compare? Let me know the year, mileage, auto/manual, etc.....
Thanks,
Tim

ps- the temperature was between 65 and 70 degrees and there was a mix of 91 and 93 octane gas in the tank. The pulls were done in 4th gear for a 1:1 tranny ratio.

Default First time up

Okay, it's a little messed up. I guess they were having problems pulling a tach signal for some reason

Because of that I didn't get a torque curve, only hp.

Default 2nd time up

We tried again, this time we got a tach signal, which gave us a torque curve. It still seems a little choppy though and looks as though it cut out at certain points. At least I have an idea. No other sc's had trouble getting a torque curve for their sc's- any suggestion as to why this happened?

Any comments on my chart?? Does it look normal to you guys? I was comparing it to Angels, and mine looked way more jumpy than his. But, taking a closer look, I think it's just the way the graph is laid out b/c I my curve is relative to his at the same rpm.

Wow, sounds like I need to get some stickers!!

Come on people- give me some feedback or posts some sheets of your own here!

I remember seeing a sheet for one of the guys in Illinois (I think it was quikturbo) after doing a tuneup, but I couldn't find it- anyone know where it is?

I don't remember Chris (quickturbo) putting his car on a dyno before he did the engine swap. I might be wrong. I dynoed my car when it was stock but I don't think I ever posted the sheet. I don't remember what the numbers were.

My baseline run was 185rwhp. That is for a 1992 sc3 5 speed. I had an Injen intake and a axle back exhaust. It has 120k miles @ 93 octane

Since today, that has changed. Now its (check sig)

Grrr.....I'm not seeing why I'm only at 175 then. I figured 175 would be bone stock, then the electric fans would give me 8-12 hp.

Maybe there's something I else I need to address. The spark plugs and wires are only 30k old, cap and rotor was changed about 10k ago.

The engine is probably leaking some compression and carbon build up is taking it over.

please not e you have heavier wheels on your car (TT). Those wheels were made for a car pulling more hp. You do understand the rule of unsprung mass, no? Do another run with your factory rims....perhaps the 99 5 spokes. I guaranteee you will see a difference. The tach was prob not hooked up to their machine properly. I pulled a 191whp in my Legend last weekend, so I know it is possible that those wheels are prob the culprit. It is the Type II with 230 hp, the Sc300 is 225hp, rwd - factor in 20% for tranny loss. That puts you in the neighborhood of 180whp. Lose the weight, and try again. Loss should be somewhat less with a m/t
