dyno results?

chirping2nd · #1 08-02-2007, 03:56 AM

just wondering what sort of rwkw a stock ls1 puts out. i was a bit dissapointed with the 150rwkw the vt clubby 5l put out on the last strret commodores dvd. seeming my mates au xr8 220 pulled a 175rwkw standard and with catback exhaust and a capa flash tuner pulled 202rwkw.

Were all 3 runs on the same dyno?

unfortunately they dont all read the same.

Most stock LS1's put out around the 180-190 rwkw mark. Having said that, we did an LPG conversion on a completely stock WH statesman LS1 and it made 198rwkw on gas!

lpg has a very high octane rating and yes ls1 range from 180rwkw pluss dependind on the model weather its manual or auto my 6lt ve pulled a very healthy 210rwkw stock big difference i carnt rember wot my vu was stock but with very minimal mods it was pulling 200rwkw that was only cat back and k&N filter

k cheers, for the feedback fellas. and no not all dyno runs were on the same dyno. but i suppose you would expect the dynos to be calibrated so the results are around the mark.

that power out of ls1's is not to bad, so a tune, exhaust and a decent intake setup could be around the 230 mark?

every motor is different but yeah even as high as 240 a ve 6l with just bolt ons in SA made 280rwkw thats just with catback extrators cai and tune very exciting stuff

My VZ SSZ M6 ute made 195rwkw stock standard, then 220 rwkw with a full Sureflo 3.5" single system.

That is where you are so wrong. Different dynos can vary alot..... Don't get caught up in the hype of Dyno power figures......

hows this i got a dyno readong and said 120 rwkw i thought hrrmm sounds low but ok if thats what i got thats what i got but i can launch really hard and have beaten a few wrx and 5.7 in total stock form ( dont flame)
i run crs charger at 2.8 psi
ive had ppl ask me what my kw are cause i beet them
i really think kw's are a guide and not really worried about how much i have as long as ya go fast

and yes im about to here my stock v6 has 130+ kws not charged but dont really get beaten by v6's often

yeah i know there are no real bragging rights being a dyno queen, i think i just like to to hear and see cars on the dyno. if we had an drag strip in adelaide we could see what out cars run. but AIR is ****ed.

You can outlaunch a WRX? Got to be kidding right?
My bet is most weren't even bothered to try.
I out run most cars using around 1/4 - 1/2 throttle. V8s I flick to high and use full throttle.
But managing a WRX, off the mark? I'm pushing 185RWKW, in a close ratio box, in a car 150-200KG lighter then a VT and I can't keep up with a WRX off the mark, and my car can manage flat 14 second 1/4s with a **** launch.
I seriously doubt you've had someone REALLY run you in a WRX.

7000RPM clutch dump is launching a WRX, not slipping the clutch with 2500RPM up it.

Seriously, drop the clutch, at redline, and watch the monkey go.

My mates GTR launches at 4000RPM and spins all 4s, and can only be kept up with by either other AWD, or those with semi slicks/full slicks.

A supercharged V6 with 2.8PSi will not out do something that comes from the factory running 13 second 1/4s with a proper driver.
