can anyone tell me why the hell i only got 99kW @ the wheels,

i have a TH 3.5 auto with muffler and pod... onyl 70,000k's i thought it should pull a fair bit more than this!

132hp at the wheels..

bugga.. even my 3.0L pulled 141.1hp

sorry to hear man.
maybe you need a haltech to fix the problem :lol:

CAUSE YOU DRIVE LIKE A PANSY!!

nah, its most likely you've got something blocked a little.... or maybe you cat is stuffed (i spose that is just blocked anyway)... try running some injector cleaner through it.... what was the torque like, especially lower down.. maybe your not getting enough fuel up high???

auto car with a 147kw loses approx 30% power loss through drivetrain - so that is about right

Though check filters

yeah, i just though of a few things, the pod's prolly due for a clean, the tyres were still slightly wet, and i think the test was done in 2nd (shouldn't it be done in 3rd?) i remember revving to 6000rpm, but the graph only shows 5000

Don't forget that every dyno is different aswell. RPM have a dyno-dynamics (i think, from memory a few years back).

I'll be going there in the next few weeks anyway to dyno my 3.0 verada w/ standard airbox, w/ pod and then w/ pod & some sort of cai and then post pictures of the results.

And 2nd or 3rd gear, it doesn't matter. Maybe your tachos out of whack or something. 99kw @ 5000 rpm works out to be 118.8 @ 6000 rpm.

one good thing tho,

Dyno Dynamics dyno's are ment to be the upper end of the 'accurate' equiptment.

there ment to be pretty spot on.

that 5000 on the dyno sheet is the torque... not revs... and as has been said.. it doesnt matter which gear you use, as long as the dyno knows what gear your in.. and that they use that gear for future references...

99kW ATW isnt too bad for an auto....

how much does it cost for a dyno run fellas? all prices would be appreciated. obviosuly different places have different prices. could u guys tell us how much u payed?

cheers

im sure they average bout 70ish bucks a go.

depends where you go i guess :D

yeh sounds alrite i guess. i wonder if you can bulk buy, cos when i finally get the cash up to get my new exhaust and extractors i wanna do 2 dyno runs b4, then 2 after the exhaust then 2 after the xtractors, hhhmm. i like my idea :) . might be costly thou, but interesting to see.

Trav

That did rev out to 6000 RPM - like he said above the numbers on teh RHS are torque!!

Manual

Haha, my 4 cylinder got 73kW at the wheels, and my gearing is shorter too, I may wanna drag you one day!!! :badgrin:

You should be around the 110kW ATW though, strange.

yeah, i was expecting about 110ish.. possibly 120... (wishing) coz i was expecting about 160-170 at the engine, 30% loss thru gearbox (about 40% for auto) should be around that figure... ahwell the dyno run only cost $25, and shows me i got some work to do... extractors, chip and cams here i come... soon

Driver's auto get 150 something HP which is over 110kW at the wheels. Will depend on dyno and other bits and pieces.

exactly 8)

and if youve been TRASHING THE **** THROUGH IT
peace

The gear you are in does matter becuase you spend more power accelerating the drivetrain in lower gears.
