New Dyno Result @ Torque Performance

[insanekiwi]

Hi guys, had another dyno day today in reasonably warm Auckland weather. This was at Torque Performance, Auckland which gives fairly accurate results.

I have been trying to achieve 140kw at wheels with current setup. And yes, I failed, but I think mainly because of 'intercooler' issues. The car was one idle for a while, and had a few setting up was required at dyno as my car was the first car on the roller. So it was sitting there for sometime at low speed. There was no fan through the side mount intercooler. Fan was only large enough to cover the radiator.

It did 136kw at wheels with 22.3 psi at peak. When I had it done in 2008 November (slightly cooler temp with 20 degree ambient), it made 127kw at wheels. Noticeably as mentioned with previous fellows here, that second run was less at 130kw, and I am sure it would have dropped even further after. Between runs were matter of 30 seconds or less. I do need FMIC.

I still believe, that the car power on road at cool temperature would be 140kw at wheels, and that's how I feel.

Performance upgrades are as below, mainly REVO stage 1 (can't get hold of REVO dealer for stage 2 ), Forge DV, K&N filter, PD160 intake and custom down pipe, and ECS clutch kit.

The next car in comparison was B5 RS4 which made 228kw at wheels. (so that you have some comparison).

I am reasonably happy with 136kw. However, it's good to know that with 4bar pressure regulator, the car runs slightly richer which was previously mentioned last time, that it was running slightly lean at RPM above 6000. Now the AFR is very good and in safe region.

Also, I know that I need FMIC to get that extra little to get that 140kw consistently.
I will try to upload the video.
