3 Dynojet pulls

Decided to finally get the dyno done, was my first time and dynos are "scarce" around milwaukee so I had to goto some shitty place that works on hondas in madison, they did have a grand national there which was cool but lets just say I wasnt 100% comfortable workin with honda kids.....here are the results, lower than I thought but Ill be dynoing again this week in milwaukee....*edit* im definitely sellin the GT2 for the ceramic coated Gintani muffler

Mods:
-GT2 muffler
-Gintani catless x-pipe
-BMC air filter
-Powerchip stage 2
-93 Octane

They seem like decent numbers to me. Perhaps that muffler is causing some lost ponies.

AFR looks a little lean down low, but hard to tell because the graph is so small.

Yes - thanks! It does appear a little lean. I'm just comparing to the dyno database here.

http://bmw.pencilgeek.org/DynoDB.html

...there are quite a few dynojet AFR graphs for comparison.

It looks odd that it goes to, call it, 13.8 at 2.5k RPM, then lean right after - say 15.8 @ 2.9k RPM. This is looking at run 3. You can also see a corresponding dip in power in the dyno.

Did they perhaps do something stupid like leave the traction control on?

hmm that could be possilbe, since i told him to turn off the car because it was going into limp mode probabily because they hooked up the rpm signal thing wrong....and yea i noticed the dip in power, maybe some more people could chime in!

lots of AFR readings are incorrect because of placement of the sensor in the exhaust.

Those tail pipe sniffers are not the most accurate readings. Its best to have a wideband o2 sensor before the primary cats. Any other way is a waste of time IMO.

yeah i agree sniffers are pretty shitty, but i didnt want those "honda kids" messin with my shit i juss wanted to be in and out..

is that "choppyness" normal as the rpm's increase? also i heard alot of people dont dyno in the winter, could that be another reason for the low numbers?

The choppyness is normal. Most Dynojet plots use some smoothing while this plot has it set to 0.

A lot of times I've seen the AFR bung get pushed out at higher RPM's which would cause the graph to read lean.

Regardless, nice numbers!

It's about as wide open as you can get. I'd think you would get higher numbers.

Put your earmuffs on! Loud but sounds amazing. Nawaaz's car literally made a little kid cry at the Texas group buy I did.
