dynoed my car...

[Night Slide Josh]

ok guys.. this is just a simple baseline for me..
i own a 92 240sx with 240k miles..
my mods are injen intake (no cold air) , 5 zigen rocket exhaust, project silvia test pipe..

the dyno was done on a 90 degree day and was done in 4th gear...

my numbers are 155 hp and 155 tq

please tell me if i am at par with what everyone else is running...
thanks..

Sounds really good. Are those corrected numbers?

[019]

yea, that sounds about right. a stock ka gets about 130 hp and torque at the wheels, so that means you gained like 25 horses. not too shabby.

[TheSparo]

wait a sec though, so you have 250,ooo miles on your car and you still got that much power? WOW

[Night Slide Josh]

well i was browsing the web.. and i found these dyno numbers from a ka24de with intake and exhaust...
132 hp and 132 tq
anyone here wanna dyno a stock 240?

[019]

well of course it also depends on how well the engine has been broken in, etc. i've seen stock ka's put out 110 hp, while others nearly 140 hp at the wheels.

I keep thinking of dyno'n mine... you can see my mods below... If the dyno is low I'm guna wana spend more cash tho. :bash: :cry: :(

250,000 miles with 155 horse and 155 torque? Something sounds wrong! If this is true than that motor has been well taken care of! Also how much did you pay to get it dynoed? thanks

Well, your list is impressive, but there's not that many parts on there that are for speed and increases on the dyno. Look into getting pulley kit, header, high flow cat, ignition system upgrade to name a few starter mods. Suspension mods like stabilizer bars and sway bars are secondary items that really only help speed and power on the track, so look to spend your future money on engine upgrades. Just a tip.

For the original poster, is it possible that this engine was rebuilt before you got it? Remember just because the odometer say 240,000 doesn't mean that's the mileage of the engine. If you haven't already, check with person you bought it from and see, cause those numbers for ANY engine with 240,000 is ALMOST impossible unless it was driven by "Grandma Jones" the entire time and never passed 3000 on the Tach. And honestly with just an intake, exhaust, and test pipe you wouldn't net 25 horses. Maybe 15-20 at high RPMs. I'm basing that off of dynos I've seen on cars with those improvements done step by step. Of course you could always remove your improvments and dyno it again to find your base numbers. Just a thought.
Another thing that's interesting about your dyno graphs is the shape of the power curve, notice that there are very few drops in power, and even the drops are minimal, this indicates very good compression and resembles some great construction and durability of the 240,000(if it's true) mile engine. Which might suggest some rebuilding occured at some point.
Another thing to remember is that you can't really go by another dyno graph from another car done on a different company's dyno machine. Each manufacturer sets their dynoes to different specs, so what your car would read on a Dynojet might be different than on another brand dyno. The other one you posted was a Dynojet so that is a good basis for comparison. But unless the dyno graphs you find in the future are Dynojet graphs don't really place too much faith in the numbers.
Sorry this is so long got a little carried away. Hope it helps.

umms i went to crazy horse in nj.. they mainly do circle track.
it cost me.. 75 bucks for 3 runs.. the car is actually in bad shape..
compression is shot and i am getting alot of blowby into the engine oil. on my last last oil change there was a piece of my piston ring..
so any ideas?
thanks

Well, some folks say that engines usually run their best just before they go kablooey...

[Red]

Time to fix that man... And if you got cash have fun with the build :) (As in kool parts)

[240Driver39]

lolz...sandbagger...i dont believe what u say bout the poor compression and such..i do believe that u dont treat that engine well at all
