Any guesses?

[JLEONARD]

I plan on dynoing this weekend... any guesses on what I'll put down?

Personally I'm shooting for a 25% increase over my current 15. 6 rating. :-laf



Actually the whole point is to see where I'm at now so I can tune the future boat engine accordingly. . plus it will be nice to know what I've bnen driving for that past few years.



And another dyno question... with a 5 spd manual, what gear makes the best numbers? 3rd, 4th, or 5th?

 

[cerberusiam]

265/700, dyno in 5th and if your lucky you can load it enough to get close to full power.

Be real, Jay.

You know... when I made a post like this I jynxed myself. I wish you better luck.

 

[JLEONARD]

Be real, Jay.

I should only expect 20% ?

I remember that... but I have grown to trust this rusty old beast and she really does need a decent highway run to heat her up good so I'm not letting that bother me.

I think that you can reasonablly expect to see at least 30 RWHP :-laf. 4th or 5th will usually be real close as far as the numbers go. What kind of a dyno are you running on? Maybe you can get to 35 RWHP with the right dyno.

35 RWHP? That'd be a ~125% increase (calculator is in the other room). I doubt it.



I'm gonna say 17. 9 RWHP. :-laf



Seriously, though, if you peg your 30psi boost gauge, I'd guesstimate around 250RWHP, 650 torque.

What kind of a dyno

I believe it is a mustang dyno... does that make sense? I think that's what it is.

Just can't decide if I'll leave my studded snows on or change them:-laf

I think a sparky dyno run might add some excitement to the event:-laf

Only kidding... chnging tires is on my list for this week.

 

[PToombs]

Jay, I did mine in 4th.

I bet you can hit 30 hp easy! :-laf

Although I don't see what it matters how much horsepower the future boat anchor makes?





:-laf

 

[Bob Beauchaine]

A Mustang Dyno is a load dyno which can keep HP numbers down and torque numbers slightly higher. On a Mustang you should see boost numbers at about 1500 rpms if they set it up right - then put the pedal to the metal. You should get 2 or 3 runs so you can try both 4th & 5th. I'll say 250/700.



Good luck Jay

Careful Pete, you'll have to get into prop pitch and a whole new world.

I can see you with one of those long shaft engine exposed jobs they use in some parts of SE Asia. You could even use the 5speed... Cruise the Erie Canal.

Captin Toombs' Diesel Cruises... .

I think I can hit 30 hp now... I checked my pump linkage and I was not getting the lever to the gov stop... made about 2 turns to lenghten the shaft between the pivots... . now it hits the stop. May even get to 33 1/3:-laf

Although I don't see what it matters how much horsepower the future boat anchor makes?

I want 200 - 220. Should not be too difficult to achieve.

All that to hook a chain to so the boat doesn't float away. Amazing!

I want it to climb up the chain and back into the boat in record time. :-laf Of course it will need a snorkle kit

 

[PToombs]

[Tippin Spotted Cow]

Get a long enough snorkel and some meaty tires and you could tow the boat with all that HP

 

[GIT-R-DONE]

guess: 240@570

 

[JLEONARD]

240@570

That's about what I was thinking as well... maybe a little less T.



I was at 160/400 in stock form w/16cm housing

 

[JLEONARD]

I had a good day. 241/604 the 2 runs in 5th were literally identical.

The run in 4th was the same in HP, but less torque.



Dyno was a Dynojet



Overall I am very pleased with the results.



ps... I did get pretty much full boost on the machine (30 +?) and egt got up there as well.

Good numbers.
