What car are you talking about?

 

Actually, the 10% humidity is a good thing. Less water in the air, hence more oxygen. You don't want to be dynoing on a humid day. 0% would be optimum. The temp that day was pretty good also. If it were SAE corrected, it would have used a standard set of correction factors to normalize all power outputs to what they would be at sea level, on a 60 degree day, with 0 percent humidity. Aside for the altitude, good day to dyno. What's the altitude in Vegas?

Great numbers Dave. Too bad you didn't dyno when you were stock. At least now you have reference point. Did any other S's dyno that day? It'd be nice to get a comparison so we can have a point of comparison.

Ask if you could get a sae corrected print out. That way, it can be standardized for easier comparison for your later dynos, as well as other's dynos.

 

Nice run.

There are plenty of S2000's of both generations that have pulled over 200 on Dynojets -- in fact there was a thread recently wherein a guy pulled 216 with an exhaust. The dynojets tend to read a bit high anyway given their type -- you are in essence just seeing how fast you can spin the barrel. No true load testing as you can with a Mustang dyno which on average reports ~10% less than a dynojet.

Regardless -- with 15 percent loss you are still not making your claimed 275hp ....

 

i dyno'd 215 with my ap1 stock.... so they do clear 200. i'll look for the sheets in my files and post them. good numbers but 220 and 153 isn't gonna beat some of the cars your claiming..... *cough*cts-v etc. cough*

 

more humidity makes more power.

vegas is in a desert. very little humidity at all. even after it rains here the air still feels dry. we are at 2400 feet altitude too, so these numbers are right on with about 275 flywheel.

load can be made on the dynojet, its just left up to the operator to make sure they put the correct drag coeffient into the the computer. if everything is set up correctly, you can even estimate accurate 1/4 mile times on a dynojet.

to see an ap1 make over 200 to the wheels was either at sealevel with corrected numbers, or just incorrect corrected numbers. IMO.

Something looks wrong with this dyno.

Here is my Dynojet Dyno of a stock 2002 S2000 @ 91 degrees





Max torque 395??

 

humid air is more dense. cooler air is more dense. dense aire is more air per given amount of space than less dense air. more air means more power.

 

no... are you kidding??? Humid weather is terrible for performance!!! Every one knows this, what are you taling about!?!?!?

 

are you serious?
