Hey guys,
I was at a wee dyno day with a few mates over the weekend. Most of the cars were older modified hondas/nissans and just 4 stock cars (mine included).
Discounting the modified guys, all the stock cars made marginally less than book figures on the day, so im pretty happy overall that the dyno readings were accurate.
Stock readings:
2010 Civic Type R FN2 14000 miles - 196bhp (book figure ~198) ~1% down
2003 Civic Type R EP3 60000 miles - 188bhp (book figure ~198) ~ 5% down
2003 Celica T-Sport 70000 miles - 166bhp (book figure ~189) ~13% down
2004 (mine) 350z 26000 miles - 250bhp (book figure ~276) ~10% down
Me & the Celica pulling much lower than expected, but the celica has done over 70000 miles.
I've not got the graph with me just now, but i'll post it up later. Curves were nice & smooth & correct shape, just lower than i'd have expected.
I've only owned the car for 6/7 months now, it has 1 prev owner & full service history, next service due in December.
One thing i noticed on the rollers, that i've never seen before, when the ESP was switched off, the TCS light stayed fully illuminated throughout the run, i've driven around with ESP off in the past & never seen the TCS light behave this way. (images attached)
I'm going to book the car in for a full geometry setup asap, i have documentation of it being done last November, but no detailed information on what the readings were/what they were changed to.
Anyone have any other ideas/suggestions to throw at me?
Cheers!
