This past weekend there was a shop local to me doing a dyno day weekend. The pulls were cheap so I decided why not get a baseline run in. The temperature was about 94 degrees in the shop where it was being dyno'd and the car was fully warmed up. Showed up paid the fee for entry and got the car on the rollers.

Overall I am very impressed by this vehicle. I was shooting for 180 WHP, but it got a bit over that. My car is pretty much stock except for K&N filter and knocked out cat convertor.



There is the graph. I believe they started picking it up around 3,000 RPM I wish he would have done it sooner so I could see the spoolup, but the shop owner was running the dyno.

Mods?

Nice for a stockish car. I wish they did the runs at 2k also to really see a true power curve.

The only mods I have are what are mentioned above the K&N Cone filter and AFM adapter plus a knocked out cat. That's it. Some people were calling it the heartbreak dyno since it reads a little on the low side. It is consistent to say the least. A guy with a Acura Integra dyno'd the same numbers he did last year 155 WHP. I feel it was pretty accurate.

Engine stuff ever done to the car: 130,000 miles stock bottom end, Head Refresh(Valve Job,seals,guides), new headgasket, front end service, and a rebuilt turbo(K26/6) with new OEM motor mounts.

Now that I have a baseline I would like to throw my Vitesse AFM chip in along with increased boost.

Always nice to have a clear starting point.

Too bad it doesn't have boost and AFR. But overall it looks like a strong, typical 951.

Not bad at all- good power and tq for a stockish 951. Like the color and fuchs.

Since the car is stock I didn't feel the need for AFR or boost. After I put my chip in and the MBC I will be getting both done just to be sure everything is 100% at WOT. I still feel like off boost this car is sluggish, but I'm hoping the Vitesse AFM chip helps that out a little bit.

Car will always feel sluggish off boost unless you go 3L or 5.6L/6.0L.

Good baseline numbers though. SAE correction?

You had said you wanted to see how the turbo spooled up - logging boost would show that.
