QLD Dyno Day

[MINTpolo]

Yep Mitchell - got your trophy & fifty bucks prize money!

Good result considering it was a Bosch dyno (No correction factors, no software or ramp rates to modify)

It was a shame we didnt have a stock Polo to compare yours to.

Ooops, I diddnt realise there were trophys for the new dubs...Do i still win with the 113kw result?? I had to leave early to pick up my g/f so thanks for holding on to it, ill sort out a pickup.

with the oettinger chip, cai tubing, gfb/or forge dv (used both) i got 115kw atw. with few mods now im on the 127 mark running lean still argh!. so that gives u an idea too!

I've previously got 116.5kw atw on Dyno Dynamics without the Air Filter or forge DV. This setup feels stronger, yet this dyno had lower figures.
Only 2kw difference to the Polo, which is about the same setup but 6.5years younger.
I bet I could get 120 something if I went back to that other dyno and had them set the computer to the same settings as last time.

Just checked the ACT dyno day results.
Chipped Polo GTI + MK4 GTI ranging 126-135 KW.
It just shows rollers aint rollers.

Thats right, have a look at the last sydney dyno day and they most likely will be slightly different again.

Don't you just love dynos such a great topic

[Timbo]

When will people learn the folly of using dynos to compare outputs between different cars? It does nothing but generate controversy. n:

The real value of a dyno is as a tuning tool, to show the deltas generated by the addition/removal of different mods/tunes on the same car on the same dyno. Other uses inevitably become exercises in excessive self-stimulation between naive but consenting adults

Mate dont worry about it. IMHO Different dynos give different readings. I knew a guy who took his car to 3 different dynos in a day and got a 20kw difference. Dynos are a tuning tool not a definitive power reading.

Couldnt agree more timbo. Just tryng to prove my point.

yes yes, im sorry if my reasons for wanting to see are higher number are so "low level and naive," i do understand the purpose of a dyno for tuning. Thing is, this day was organised as a bit of fun to compare readings, so it would have been nice to get a number toward the higher side of expectations. Thats all i meant.

Anyhow, im not questioning the power output of the car, it feels plenty fast enough on the road.
