how is it possible that im only putting down 215 hp and 215 tq max!!!!!....look at my sig...is that ****ing possible??...it was like 95 outside and we did two runs...second run i picked up one hp...it was on a dynojet..im really confused??..and the dyno said that i wasnt running lean or rich..i was fine with the a/f..and to top things off...a 350z ate me on the way back...cant believe this ****..i wanted to stop with the power but now i gotto buy more stuff!..anyone have suggestions as to why my power is so low and what i need to do?

 

that's pretty low for spacer + headers + exhaust... surprised that your A/F is good tho. i dunno man, life's rough for an automatic.

why don't you go track your car, see how it does in the 1/4 mi. maybe the dyno #'s aren't so hot but performance is good...

 

very low #s, Nitros express will do the jobe and return you smile

 

is it possible that i have some sort of exhaust leak or spacer leak?...or is that something thats noticeable?

 

on which gear you started the dyno

 

i have 6MT and i start at 4th gear all the way
the AFR must be between 13.5 to 13.2

 

if u are getting leaks u can definitely hear it and your idle would be going up and down... not to mention check engine lite. AT arent the most impressive dyno queens and it will especially be lower if u do not dyno in the right gear which happens to be 3rd NOT 4th.

 

I don't know about the 5AT but for the 6MT i'm sure it must be on 4th for the best result

 

you know what i think he started in 4th...

 

there u go.. if u dyno in 3rd, im sure it would be around 220-230hp

 

Dyno 6MTs in 5th gear.

Dyno 5ATs in 3rd gear.

 

6mt's

Most tuning is done in 4th (not as violent).

Then do a 5th gear run to get your numbers.

 

(semi-related question) - where is tuning best done for 5A/Ts? 3rd gear?

 

If you had a leak of some kind, it should have caused a CEL. To my mind, it's not an accurate dyno.
How does the car feel? Is it strong?
C.

 

I don't mean to insult your intelligence or anything, but did you turn off your AC? Acutally, it should cut off itself at WOT but you never know.

Also, get rid of the pop charger and put in your stock airbox. When the fan kicks on, it blows extremely hot air into the engine bay and the pop charger WILL suck it all in, and considering you're in TX weather it's gonna eat your hp.

Oh. And don't be too discouraged. It could be that the dyno is a bit out of whack.
