wow that seems really far off from where you should be with your mods.. can you explain more what you did? did you go to a dynojet and dynopack and run your car with the same mods?

not sure what seems off - I am exactly where I expected to be. Dynojet runs were done earlier this year - everything stock except for stromung cat back, (191/181), everything stock, except for stromung cat back and OBX header, (204/191), and now on a dynapack, I've gained around 25whp and 25wtq by adding a CAI, chip, pulleys, and flywheel.

Seems spot on to me.

My guestimate of the dynajet readings is based on the thread I linked. I subtracted 11 hp and 5 tq to get the dynajet equivalent to my dynapack readings of 241/220.

What I have not yet done but am basically started on are the following:
Cams
Intake manifold
throttle body
final drive

it seems far off because no one has gotten above 210 hp without cams.. and without a 3.5 no one has gotten that much torque even on a dynapack dyno. i find it odd that you did without cams... why do you think its right on target? look in this thread at everyones dynos on dynapacks and dynojets with their mods and you'll see what im talking about.

/\ i think they are pretty spot on too, if u look at it closely, he got similar numbers as kenso with cams, which makes sense since the pulley's provide a similar gain as the cams did.

aaron, just think how much more power you'll get with those cams!

I expect similar numbers when i dyno my coupe running similar mods. hopefully after telion fixes my ecu.

Yeah I noticed that lots of folks are coming up short on torque with the 3.2. Not sure why though, I never have. On the dynojet I was at 204whp and 191 tq. I was using a stock intake, stock 6 speed flywheel, type 1 crank pulley, and stock chip.
  • I guessed, being that the rest of my airflow system was already opened up, that a CAI would give me somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 or 6 whp.
  • Kyle posted that he experienced roughly 10whp and 10wtq gains across the boards using his pulleys, so that brings it up to 15.
  • The 5 speed flywheel cuts like 20 pounds off of the drivetrain. I figured that was probably good for another 10. Up to 25.
  • After speaking with Matt, he convinced me I would see 5whp from the chip he sent me. So, 30whp gain, almost exactly what I see.

One thing to note though, I'm using a JDM motor now, so perhaps there is some difference. I wouldn't really think so, but maybe that's it? Then again, the ratio of HP to TQ on the usdm motor was about 1.07. On the JDM, with the new mods, it's about 1.095. Seems consistent, considering the synergistic effect of each part on the other.

Finally a dyno from you!
But again whats with the dynapack. Not to say its not as good or anything but to remain consistant with the rest of Legend dynos we should all strive to remain on the same power measure standard.

Second guessing is the name of the game with different dyno systems. Every dyno measures differently especially dynapacks. They're all calibrated different some have more loss than dynojets and some see as much as a 20% gain.

Eitherway, if you go and dynojet the car i think youll be dissapointed. That TQ number is still way high even after your dynojet conversion. Maybe the JDM motor has higher compression who knows. Last I checked Kenso has 203tq w/cams.

I would suggest some 1/4 mile times, that would tell me if your dynos are fact or fiction.

Eitherway, great job

i agree that torque number is way to high, you should make sure that they inputed the right drive ratio's when you dynoed and that they imputed rim size and such.. if thouse numbers are correct though, i congratulate you, get a dyno at a dynojet or some quarter mile times for verification.

Correction to your chart:

208 WHP and 189 ft.lbs --->> MUSTANG DYNO
211 WHP and 182 ft.lbs --->> DYNAPAK

I did the DYNAPAK run about a year before the MUSTANG run and the only difference in mods between the two was removing my "home depot" intake and installing a Weapon-R Secret Weapon intake with cold-air box.

Since the MUSTANG dyno I installed pullies and replaed my Bayou Stage II chip with SR5GUY's Stage II chip. I would like to dyno now with those 2 mods and see the results. I still have yet to install headers and still am running the heavy 6-speed flywheel.

If I run again, I will run again on the Mustang dyno to really measure the benefit of the pullies + chip.

Aaron also has a reworked y-pipe which is surely a huge improvement over the OBX junk. Congrats., man! The effort always pays off
