My First Dyno Result!

Grechie · 13-01-2006, 02:47 PM

Hey guys!

after all the money spent on my car to do it up, conversions and wot not, i finally got it on the dyno today for 3 runs, and pulled a 132.9rwkw @ 120kph twice... my lowest run was 131.5rwkw.

im very pleased with this result as i was only hoping for ~120rwkw or so!

im running a stock EA 3.9L Manual ECU, and im now hopeing to get rings done and a Chip for my Wade Cam 1636!

well done man, great figures considering the amount of smoke your bottom end blows out the ***

talk about tuff motors.

slightly better then what my car pulled

t5's make a scary difference.

Simmo · 13-01-2006, 03:55 PM

scary like only 1hp more? i cant see an auto killing off scary amounts of power. but thats a good run grech, good results for the 1636.

An auto would probably suck 5-10% out of a rwkw figure.

its roughly 10rwkw for the power figures being looked at here.

or 13.5HP :P bit more than 1hp me thinks

That's pretty good. Take it down the 1/4 to see what it's really capable of.

Grechie · 14-01-2006, 03:59 PM

yeap i will one day soon

i got a question though,, my AFR came at 15.0,15.1,15.4, wot does this mean? is it air fuel rate? the dyno instructor sed it means air flow rate?

OMG you got an AFR of >15?!? Sounds like either a dodgy reading, or your car is running waaaay lean. AFRs in cars tend to be between 10 and 14. AFR is the Air Fuel Ratio, and the stoichiometric rating for the "perfect" burn of air and fuel is 14.7:1. Meaning 14.7 parts of air to one part of fuel. Cars should run richer than this otherwise the engine runs too damn hot (holed pistons, fried valves, etc). I dunno what the "optimum" AFR for a Falcon 6 would be, but I'd assume it's somewhere in the 13s.

Fuel & air can burn/combust from any AFR between 9:1 and 17:1. Outside these zones it won't burn/combust.

I'd get a 2nd opinion on that AFR!
