happy with my dyno results!

[mcammarn]

so dyno'd my mk3 today at school, and was pretty happy with my results.
mods:
hard ic pipe
3in megan downpipe
3in test pipe
3in tanabe medallion ehaust
this is as far as performance wise.

results:277.5 @ 4089 rpm/78.2mph- maximum power
402.2 @ 2856 rpm/54.7mph- maximum torque

What gear did you Dyno it at?

 

[mcammarn]

3rd gear.

 

[MNBmk3T]

How much boost?

 

[mcammarn]

7lbs.

 

[Angry7M]

Nice HP numbers, the torque kinda seems off though. Any vids?

 

[mcammarn]

no man, no vids. i wish i did though

 

[sylquebec]

Is that normal as much torque? That make no sense for 7 PSI with a stock ct26. and 7psi look too low, with a 3inch full exaust and ic piping, it should be 8-9 no?

 

[mcammarn]

i never messed with the psi. and my gauge in the inside reads 7ish. mite read like 8. but not sure if thats nrmal reading. it was done on mustangdynameter

 

[jdemara]

402 ft/lbs of torque at 7psi on a stock ct26 with an exhaust seems extremely high.. and at that rpm range..

 

[suprahero]

Did you only do one pull? I've had my car on the dyno about a thousand times.......scouts honor. I've never made four hundred foot pounds of torque at 2800 rpm. I can't imagine the wheel spin you'd have everytime you kicked it. I remember Noah dynoing his 7mgte and it made about 387 rwtq while making 355 rwhp. I don't remember where it made peak torque, but I would guess it was closer to 4000 rpm, but I can't remember. He was also running about 16 psi I think.

If you get a chance to dyno it again, I would like to see the comparrisons. Either way, it's good to see you making respectable power out of a ct26.

Jay, I thought that was 455HP with 20-22 pounds of boost on a stock ct-26, and he had to lift at 5000rpm because of a wastegate issue. Or was it a 57Trim? For some reason, I have never paid too much attention to torque numbers. Kinda odd considering my screenname. I made that 1500 mile trip in that car, and I can tell you it was pretty powerful. 22 pounds blew my mind on that turbo. He said he'd run it like that til it blew, and I believe it finally has. I miss ole Noah since he moved to Louisiana.

 

[mcammarn]

i did only dyno it once. i will be doing more in the future. its free at my college since im in the program. when i first looked at that torque number i thought it was off to. especially for being nearly stock..but this was the results performed. dont kno how and why these numbers are this way. not real to sure what its suppose to be around.

 

[Suprapowaz!(2)]

Ok, spill the beans... did you put a Cummins diesel in there? Or are you still rockin the 7m. I can't make any sense of the torque figures myself.

 

[supraguy@aol]

I was under the impression that Mustang dyno's read a bit higher that some others.
But I can see your hp number being in the right ballpark. I would guess that you're up to at least 9psi.
The oem boost gauge isn't very reliable. But like everyone said- that torque number is a bit off the norm.
I would expect it to be around 270-310, given that hp number.

 

[Nick M]

Peak hp at 4000 rpm? You sure there isn't a Ford 351M under your hood?

 

[BoostMonger]

even tho its off, i wish i had a dyno at my disposal...

 

[Enraged]

shouldn't it have been dynoed in 4th gear?

 

[Turbo Habanero]

Are you a 200shot of nos Jesus

 

[Albert]

Dynoing in 3rd gear will do that. It needs to be in 4th
