Well, it was time to dyno the car. I got it running rich enough so I could drive 70 miles to Carb Connection in Kirkland, WA. The drive up was great, no problems. Get there and strap it down.
First light loads were very rich, just tuned those down in realtime as Nels controlled the throttle. Only did this for low rpm.
First real dyno runs, under normal load, was tuning from around 1000 rpm, and just tuned it up and down, while looking up at the Wide Band o2 sensor they had hooked up. These went very well up to 3700rpm.
Then we found out the clutch was slipping. This was a major setback, I could only put power to the rear wheels until 3700rpm. Considering this, these numbers are VERY good.
Results, 191.6 hp at the wheels, and 272.3 tq at the wheels at only 3700 RPM. This converts to approx 230hp at the crank and 327 ft.lb. tq at the crank, at 3700RPM.
The guys there at the dyno said it its going to make a LOT of hp at the wheels, probably 300+ as an estimate.
This graph is of my non turbo run (a few months back) and my turbo run. The Non turbo run is in red, and the turbo run is in blue. The torque figure is the higher one.
Here is the graph
Questions/Comments?
I also got some vid that i might post up, it sounds SICK.
By the way, does anybody know of a good place to buy racing clutches? I know Ireland has them, and so does Bekker's, Ireland only has the disc though, anybody know of a good pressure plate? thanks
