First Time DYNO
Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2007 3:54 am
I'm still kinda new to this first gen thing, since my DD is a 05'. But I got bored one day and picked me up a BONE stock 3.55 geared 1998 coupe, factory NO A/C, to play with. Oh man this thing was a terd! That had to get fixed, FAST. Took it by an exhaust shop and had a straight threw muffler installed and a new CAT. The installer was amazed that any exhaust was getting threw that old CAT at all. Time for a new test drive. Holly sheet, not quite as terdish as before. Man I could go on, and on, and on, etc. Too sum this up a lil quicker, this is a total list of stuff done to the car:
Everything from the drivers seat back is removed
Carpet is removed
Relocated battery to the trunk
Home made CAI from a 3.0L intake and a 90 degree bent pipe
Removed the powersteering
Removed the injector humps out of the intake manifold
Homemade EGR block off
52mm Automatic throttle body
Fart pipe
After all of that the car felt really peppy for a SOHC engine. So I was like, well lets go to the dyno. So me and my buddies ride up to the DYNO (local dyno day). All my buddies drive 1st gen neons, and me being the newest and slowest, I got to go last. My buddy rick with his 5 spd SOHC ran 133 hp and 123 tq. My other buddy with the 2.4 swap with bolt ons ran 146 hp and 166 tq. Lets just say they were both pissed. So there I was, between a DYNO and some pissed off ricers. So I ran my car anyway. I ended up running, get this, a wopping 102 hp and 113 tq. Hell F'ing yes. I get a dyno sheet that proves my terdness. But it was a fun time nun the less. The local dyno is a hot spot for the local mustangs, so they were all happy when we left. I will post some pictures of my car and all the dyno sheets ASAP. Oh yea, the 2.4 neon runs a 9.18 on street tires in the 1/8th mile. We raced, and by 85mph, he had a car on me. Good, Bad. For me I guess.
