Well just got back from the dyno. Monty the auto instructor at CBC had the mustang dyno rep fly in to help set everything up so that was kind of nice, very smart guys. The beauty of the whole thing was that I got to drive my own car on the dyno. Did all the pulls in 3rd gear. First pull at 33 psi car made a little over 600 HP, on the second pull I turned up the boost a bit to 35 psi got like 625 HP. Cranked up the boost some more and on a 3rd pull boost went up to 38 psi but it dropped down to 37 psi after about 7000 rpms. I think my 25 psi spring on a 50mm wastegate just couldn't hold the back pressure so at 37 psi car made 663 HP not corrected and 655 corrected. 496 torque not corrected and 490 corrected. Drive pressure at 37 psi of boost was right 30 psi at 8000 rpms. Peak timing was at 19 degrees, air/fuel ratios were about 11.5
Keep in mind this was done on 92 octane pump gas with a lot of water/meth We did the engine speed of the rollers so the rpm on the dyno log was a little bit off from an actual rpms. My laptop log shows that I reved to 8500 and the dyno shows peak at 8100 rpms. Peak power was at 7700 rpms when in reality should have been about 8100 rpms, that's what the dyno rep said. Peak torque was at 6500 but if the rpms were dialed in 100% it should have been about 6900 rpms. Can't say that I'm disappointed, for a $350 dollar HX52 with that 19cm HX40 housing I think it did ok We have a gas station here that sells 110 octane unleaded aviation fuel so maybe one of these Fridays I'll get some of that gas and get on the rollers again. Should be able to run about 24-25 degrees of timing, there is more power to be made but I'm happy with what I got on pump gas.
Monty said that we can come back anytime, pretty much can dyno my car every Friday $50 dollars is not bad at all. I asked Monty if we can get some people together and bring more cars to have a little DSM get together and he was cool with that so we will have to set something up for some of the local guys here in the NW. I'll post something on here if we set up a day to do this.
I'll post up some pictures of the dyno sheet when I get to a computer.
