hi fellas!
for some strange reason, my friends s2000 (my03) IS STOCK AND PUTS 261.5 PS (FLYWHEEL)
COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN ME THAT? WHERE DID HE FIND +20PS FROM A 100% STOCK S2000???
. . . . . . . = engine stock
___ ___ ___ = engine hot
____________ = engine ~cold
what do you think?
the car was brand new! 5.000 km, the oil hasn't been changed (factory oil), temperature 15-17o C. engine stock

Since dynomometers measure power at the wheels or at the hub, flywheel power is calculated by using a conversion factor. Since flywheel horsepower is not measured directly, perhaps there is some error there. Also, different types of dynomometers yield different results. Finally, there is operator error involved. These can be minimized, but not eliminated.
222 ps (Wheelpower on your chart) = 219 HP. These values are slightly higher than results from Dynopack type dynomometers that measure power at the hub but are pretty high for other types of wheel dynos.

Colardoc,
your reply is well written, I forgot to mention something:
When I heard that, from my friend, I sead "No Way!" . But then he told me that before he dynoed his s2k, another s2k had just dynoed, pulling ~239 hp at the crank (i dont know exactly), which is the standard number for the s2k! So the dynometer works fine.
finally what is going on???
