So about 125rwkw, from a 182fwkw (factory figure) car.
About a 31% driveline loss for this vehicle.
It's pretty much around everyones guesses.

You say correction factor at zero.

do the run on a 10 deg day and on a 30 deg day.
without correction, you will see some changes.
also what weather was the original ford engine run at, I bet that was done with atmospheric correction.

ok

maybe i should of word it differently

the air temp sensor at the snork measure the anbaint air temperature and the software does the corrections whether im testing on a 10 degree day or whether im testing on 40 degree day the compensation is doen automatically

dyno dynanmics introduced this correction factor in there main screan for some reason which i have no explanation for some dynos have it some dont

im under the impression there lates dyno software do no allow u to thudge the dyno figure by using the correction fact X .

so the dyno figure im quoting is taken into consideration the air temp the test was conducted

i have seen some guys run there air temperature sensor for the dyno pinned on the workshop wall and all sorts of other places which doesnt read the correct incoming air into the engine

so if the sensors is attached to something very warm(hot) or very cold it will make a h compensation adjustment to the horsepower reading higher or lower figure



cheers

You were closest

Will there be mods done on this car and dynoing after each mod to see the difference in power?

That is a bit surprising. Most ba fords put out 135rwkws. Perhaps they were manual. Allowing for manual to auto lossess ...this puts the autos power drain compared to manual at 10 rwkws.

Looks about right for a dead stock auto. I have seen a BA Manaul ute with cat back exhaust run 135rwkw thats all.

there is a difference between getting flogged and being driven properly.

but hey what would i know right. i was only the person rebuilding the engines.

don't p***y around a new engine you'll f**k it

i agree with tickford_6, but at the same time, i wouldn't redline it or bounce it off the limiter.

but then what would one class as driven properly?
one thing i have done in my car is warm it up before any harsh accelaration and seems to still run prety good.

Wouldn't expect power gains from these mods!?

Thats all just service and cosmetic stuff for a stock car.

catback exhaust would be the first make a difference on a dyno power mod to do.

waste of time to dyno after those mods uless you drop the IT temp sensor on you radiator like the manufactures of this gear to make it look good.

hi

You would be surprised how restrictive a standard air filter is.

Just try and run your car without an airfilter in the box and see what happens.

cheers

UPDATE GUYS

this morning i ran the car up again at Ivan's

this time with a bf typhoon dual air intake
a bf typhoon cold air intake and a k&n hi flow air filter

The settings and conditions were exactly the same as the first time we did
the dyno runs just to make sure there was no fudging of the figures

we made i think 4 dyno runs ramping up and ramping down in second gear so the tests were exactly the same as the first time

this time with just these three new items on the car we picked up around nine kws at the wheels

will get Ivan to put up the graphs of the day for all to see what the new figures were

i have to say it surprised both of us the difference in the readings today from the originals


Many thanks to Ivan for helping me with this little project of mine
