Dyno run today/newbie

[mitch_gti]

Hi there everyone. im new to watercooled.

I own a candy white Pog GTI with leather and tint.

My brother owns a nissan s14a 200sx with very light mods and my GTI is stock apart from bmc panel filter and new forge diverter valve.

We were curious about power outputs so we got our cars put onto the dyno. His nissan pushed out a healthy 200hp atw and my car pushed out 125hp atw.


Is 125 on the mark for a standard 1.8t??????????

Welcome Mitch,

Good to have you onboard hopefully you and your car will benefit from this site, as alot of us have.

Sounds about right anyone else?

Hi Mitch, glad to see you have wandered over here.

With the standard proviso that all dynos are different :rolleyes: that seems within the ballpark

Hey Mitch - 125hp = 93kw at the wheels - exactly the same as we got on our standard Polo - sounds spot on :)

15% power loss not bad. :D

Interestingly my bog standard Seat Ibiza 2.0 16V (Factory rated at 110kW) ran 91.6kW on a dyno last week.

Well the 1.8t seems to be a fairly consistent motor then.


I used to spend quite alot of time on fordforums and the falcon boys/girls get very inconsistent power outputs on their standard cars whether it be the NA 6 cyl, 6T or 8's. They fluctuate by as much as 20 kw.

Apparently the 1.8t is held in very high regard around the world, especially in america :P
