REW Sequential Dyno - very uncommon results

Either he is doing something incredible no one else is doing or his dyno is generous, Ill let you decide on that. Id be interested to see you dyno it at another location with the same type of dyno and see how similar the results are.

I accept that challenge. I've been witness to a ton of dyno's there and alot of them seem to fall where they should, some even lower than I would've thought. I'm inclined to disagree with the statement that EVERY car that's passed through those doors dyno's higher than it should. That's a pretty bold statement. Not to sound belligerent or like a prick but "every" is bold. We also overlapped a bunch of dyno's of other sequentials that had been there and they were all right were you'd expect them to be.

I'll admit, I'm curious though. After we get her settled to 15lbs I'll hit a local dyno. There's one literally 1/2 mile from my house. They have a DynoJet 424x. I BELIEVE Dave has a 242x. Either way I'm not going to be able to find a 2wd dyno around here. Too many scubi's and devolutions running around. When she's set to 15lb's I'll be able to trim the boost back with the trim switch on the dash. Before I leave Dave's I'll make one run @ 9lbs, and the last at 15lbs. That day or the next I'll head to one of the 2 local guys and make the same two runs and put the results here.

Auto/Manual swap car, stock ecu, 8lbs, sequential, full 3 inch exhaust with a carbon ti muffler, pettit intake, simplified sequential, greddy pullies and I think a pettit underdrive pulley but cant remember. I dont think I have had a car to this day that pulled like that one on 8lbs. Before I sold it I installed a pettit ecu and ran it on 14lbs(didnt know better back then) and I swear that car had to be making close to 350rwhp as it pulled like no other stock sequential car I have been in since. Some cars/setups just work better than others, sounds like yours is running good.

Thank you. Honestly, in my case, I'm inclined to think that it's the package itself as a whole. Everything that I've done to make things as effiecent as possible. All the ceramic coating, the porting, polishing, portmatching, HMIC, just everything coming together to be one really sweet well matched package. Of couse the insane tolerances and time spent rebuilding the engine didn't hurt either

"Every" is bold, but his shop seems to put out higher numbers than what is usual/typical, like rx7store used to back in the day. This is in no way meant to be a knock on anyone or these shops, just saying, some dynos read higher than others. I would be interested to see the results on a dyno dynamics dyno if possible, it will likely be a awd dyno but you can still dyno your car on it.

Yeah, the primaries are ported a little more than I would've liked them to be. I actually wanted to try these out with the RE on bone stock ports just cleaning up the runners/bowls and doing some port matching but that just didn't happen, I got too good a deal on the motor to pass it up. I would call it a med street port.

There is a shop about 20 minutes away that has a dyno dynamics dyno. I'll head there to get the other numbers and see where we lie. Why are you asking for a dyno dynamics and not a dyno jet? I would think for comparision we would want to see a similar dyno jet to see if it is that one in particular or just the really clean PA air.

Both the Dyno Dynamics and the DynoJet 424x are owned but the same family so the rates should be comparable, just curious as to your request is all.

I have seen very little variance in the dyno dynamics numbers, they read consistenly lower than what else is out there. I know it will read much lower than the dynojet but I can do the math on the dyno dynamics and have a really close idea to what the number equates to on a dyno jet. If you have another dynojet just take it there for a true best case scenario. Its not a big deal either way, but 330rwhp on 9lbs is hard to swallow on the stockers, I dont know if anyone has made that on the BNRs even.
