What do you think i got on the dyno

[Stewart1000]

i have just had my car on the dyno yesterday.
1987 VL series 2 SL with calais bits here and there
i have the car running a bit rich, the afm giving out 2.15v
an xf throttle body with vn air ducting shortened and a vn air box lid with the standard vl bottom with standard air inlet.
extractors amd 2.5" straight through with lucky muffler.
water pump, fan, power steering pump all connecter. no air con.
5 speed manual gearbox, i just replaced all bearings appart from needle roller.
LSD disc break diff.
17x7.5" 235 on rear at 50psi
dyno run was done in 2nd gear

was about 21 degreese with fan in front of car

i made sure everything was showing good signs, only code i was getting was the starter circuit.

so how much do you think i got on the dyno???

700th post!

So what did you get

 

[Stewart1000]

ill say what i get after a fer votes go up, i wanna get a few guesses, and i need to wait till tomorrow, hopefully the other computer will be working and i can scan the print out and post it up.

You have 95 - 100 up there twice

but that was my guess, but i have no idea, so it a rather random pick....

 

[Stewart1000]

so i do... lol

ill post the print out tomorrow night.

i want to get some figures and convert the kmph reading to rpm. the location of power range will probably supprise some people

what are the calculations to convert kmph to rpm

final drive is 3.45:1
2nd gear is 1.90:1

?

I voted 80 kw just for adding the extra weight of the Calais bits.

Nah, probably about 110 would be my guess.

Stuff the dyno, what you get on the quarter?

 

[clinker42]

Im with vztrt,

Dyno figures mean jack, take ya ride to the quarter and run her and tell us what ya get.

Only reason I reckon dynos are crap, is that figures can vary by 30 % or more depending on how the guy is using it. Change the correction factor and hp can gain 15%.

yeah some people put the air temp sensor near the exhaust trickgin it in thinkign the air intake is really hot and gives you a boosted result.

i'm only on my L's so im not gonna take it to the track yet.
a rough guess would be a mid 14 second pass.

any idead on the calculations from kmph to RPM?
