very happy with my results.
i will have more details about the runs later on but right now i dont really have time and i need to get all my datalogs graphed and such...
Reasons y i dynoed today are as follows:
- MAIN REASON: Real World numbers (explained further below)
-Test out different setup on car
- get another run with all the mods before FMIC comes in
- I want to know what effect the smbc had on the car, as far as power goes. And would like to know if I can make that much power without the smbc installed.
New Mods:
-3" DP
-ported manifold
-open element intake
-ceramic coated manifold
-stock delivery pipe back in
Old mods still on car:
-saab sport exhaust
-6cm2 housing
mods removed from car :
-2.5" delivery pipe (totally different story has to do with boost problems this weekend which ended up having nothing to do with the pipe )
-Smbc removed permanently
Things done differently this time, I did NOT reset the ecu this time, which resulted in higher numbers last time.
About the runs; It seems the car was adapting while on the dyno because the power curves get better as each run was done, but peak power was less. by like .6hp
First run resulted in 217whp and 200 torque
second run resulted in 216.4 whp and 209.9 lb ft
third run resulted in 215.7whp and 201.8lbft
What was learned from this???
Last time i dynoed, right before dynoing i reset the ecu which ended up giving me more boost and such for the 3 runs i did, and the car actually adapted downwards. This time i drove the car to the dyno parked it and strapped it up to the dyno.
No ecu reset, no adaptations runs..... REAL WORLD NUMBERS!!! What i mean by this is i wanted my numbers to be what the car gives me everyday, not what it gives me when i reset the ecu or purposely go out and do adaptation runs so it feels faster.
When i left the dyno the car felt considerably faster than when i was on my way there. I dont mean a little faster i mean ALOT!!!
John and I were looking at the runs from last time and noticed that in sport mode last time i put down 219.4 and then by the third run, the car was down to 211, which could also be because the third run was done in regular mode and not sport, but i dont see it being that much deviation.
This time the car did not change that much, which is why i like these new numbers better than last time.
Now here are dynos with my 2.5” delivery pipe installed.
These are just he peak power numbers, though when I have the graphs up u will like em ;) (more power along the entire power band)
Run 1 222.2whp 202.6lbft
Run 2 221.8whp 205.0 lbft
Run3 221.3whp 209.6lbft
How do u like them apples???
It seems that my car, while on the dyno, was adapting still. It gained more torque as it went on , and it gained about 10whp along the rpm band, nice improvement.
Now as compared to last years pulls with the boost controller installed and the ecu reset, I lost about 9-12 foot pounds of torque, but power output was right on par.
The hp difference along the rpm range is considerable though. With the smbc last year I put down around 9whp more along the power band than I did this time around…
All in all I am extremely happy I no longer need that smbc, and I cant wait for the intercooler to come in.
