    Default Lowest dyno you've ever seen?

    Hi folks,

    At tafe today we got to use the dyno, most people are claiming big figures but what is the lowest power output you have seen?

    We put on one of these:

    A Subaru Fiori

    It managed a whole 12kw at the wheels!!!!!

    A std VY ecotec ute made a little over 100kw
    and a Au falcon with over 250k made about 85kw

    Cheers

    Lowest dyno you've ever seen?-kawasaki-mule-2007-1.jpg
    We have these bad boys at work, says on the roll cage they put out 7.25kw max @ 3800
    They actually go pretty hard for a piece of snot

    A kids dad jumped on his BMX and had it on the dyno at our local all Holden day, I think he cracked 2 hp haha. Don't know how they would have had it set for intake temps etc though haha.
    Cheap, fast, reliable.....you only get to choose two.

    I went to start my Fiori but the vibrations from the engine shaking cracked the welds on the intake.

    reckon? I think it would still be rubbish, weak chassis, hard to find brakes and suspension, fwd. Would be funny but wouldn't be much to drive I think

    After a little checking these cars had 31KW engines when the series came out in 1989.

    So it could be a lot worse, give it a good service, you might get... a few more kws...
