View Full Version : hitting the dyno!!!!
05rx8mazda 11-17-2008, 05:58 PM tomorrow bright and early i go to PTP and get my baby dynoed!
Have never dynoed before because of technical issues..
mods so far...
-Cobb MM tune
-CAI
-sr power pulleys
-9lb flywheel
-ignition solution
-mazsport midpipe
-greddy cat back
It should be a pretty cool morning 50 degrees or so :)
I will post up the dynoes for us N/A peoples out there..
reason being turbo funds are being raised soo i just want to know how much shes pushing before FI
2005 50K miles
darnellm 11-17-2008, 06:06 PM Be sure to pull the ABS fuse
rx8thunder 11-17-2008, 08:42 PM Very similar to my set up. On a dynojet, recently pulled 204 WHP.
SiLVeRE8 11-17-2008, 09:17 PM cant wait to see the numbers
TopGear8 11-17-2008, 09:51 PM lets make guesses...I'm gonna say 194whp.
imput1234 11-17-2008, 10:00 PM I bet 200+
SiLVeRE8 11-17-2008, 10:04 PM i say 205
mysql 11-17-2008, 10:07 PM I say 300. What do I win?
04wb8 11-17-2008, 10:13 PM i say 209
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 12:36 AM The abs fuse???
got it but doesnt just pressing the DCS button several seconds do the same thing?
Im hoping for 200 but realistic ill prob get 190....
i will post the dyno sheet once i get it
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 12:37 AM I say 300. What do I win?
lol good one man!
Im not in your territory YET!!!!!
much respect to ya Mysql
toneskii707 11-18-2008, 12:41 AM I say 192
SiLVeRE8 11-18-2008, 12:46 AM winner gets his car!!!
the_duke313 11-18-2008, 12:51 AM 199whp
201...... eager to know, my set up is similar
RedefineRX8 11-18-2008, 08:20 AM 211 sounds good!
tiltmode43 11-18-2008, 08:49 AM I wish we knew how many times the MM map has been re-evaluated!
I'll go with 203whp
Nice and chilly air, catless, solid ignition, tuned, dynojet
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 08:53 AM ill post pictures and videos of the dyno as well!!
greg985 11-18-2008, 09:00 AM I amguessing a little over 200, that flywheel is gonna help
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 01:09 PM results are in... EVERYONE was incorrect.....
183HP
130TQ
smokedRX8 11-18-2008, 01:13 PM wow. I was going to guess a little higher than that...like everyone else...
Brettus 11-18-2008, 01:14 PM i'm guessing 183 -- oh wait
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 01:18 PM yeah man i need to upload the graph so you all can see.. I also did a compression test as well.. rotor #1 has 110 rotor 2 had 105 compression they said it was still a good motor.
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 01:19 PM I was dissapointed.. i dynoed with my buddies civic SI which i beat!
and he dynoed at 197 HP and 144 TQ
Sad day for the 8 =[[[[[
lowest HP car baught lunch hahahahah
Dutch 11-18-2008, 01:36 PM That Si must have been modded like WOAH
tiltmode43 11-18-2008, 01:43 PM 183 on dynojet? I wonder what your baseline would have been!
alz0rz 11-18-2008, 01:43 PM that doesn't sound right with that amount of mods..
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 01:54 PM Well two 06 , 07 civic SI were both dynoed...
the only difference being one had a 2.25 exhaust system and the other 3 inch
and one had reflash.
the one with flash made 4 more TQ and had much more power in mid range i beleive 30-40 more HP and TQ in mid range
but in Vtec on high rpm made the same power 197hp/144 TQ
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 01:55 PM 183 on dynojet? I wonder what your baseline would have been!
yeah man dynoe jet..
I wonder myself as well.... Probably LOW!!!!!! :cussing:
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 01:56 PM That Si must have been modded like WOAH
The SI was all motor. 06/07 models.
Header full exhaust (no cat)
intake
reflash :rollingla
alz0rz 11-18-2008, 01:56 PM your exhaust + midpipe + cobb AP should have VERY CONSERVATIVELY speaking netted you some 15hp.. if not more.
your CAI maybe 3-4 at the top end... and then you have an ignition upgrade.. so hmm..
like someone else said I wonder what your baseline dyno would have been?.. anyway let me know if you decided to sell your mazsport pipe, i'm desperate! :)
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 02:01 PM i mean after we left we lined up to see...
but jon at PTP said Gearing makes a big difference...
i mean we are pretty much door to door.. when hes in vtec he pulls me but his gears are soooo short that it does him no good he shifts and i pass up until he get5s to vtec
and then repeats ina ll gears.
DarthRX8 11-18-2008, 02:03 PM that is a very low number. we had an 8 here in CO (Huzer21) who only had the BHR Ignition and an AP (running cobb's stage 1 map) and he got 189whp and I think 110tq.
I thought for sure you would get mid 190s to maybe the low 200s...DAMN. g/l
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 02:08 PM I mean im happy with my results.. I still wouldnt trade in my baby for the worls i love this car to death. im actually glad the comrpession results were good you know?
Turbo is coming now soon!!!!
im glad it can still hold its ground with cars that a bit lighter and have more power like those SI's they arent no joke they are QUICK just because they are civic doesnt mean nothing.. We are all good friends soo its alright.. we crack joked about eatchother.. when they were ont he dynoe and i saw the front wheels spinning i looked at him and said "something dont look right" hahahaha
the car performs well i actaully thought it was read lower! becausr it has power! its quick.. i ran a mustang GT manual with intake and i was at his fuel door the whole way you know?
going to the track again in few more weeks
dillsrotary 11-18-2008, 02:09 PM are you an auto or manual?
Brettus 11-18-2008, 02:10 PM get that turbo on there and we'll see some real hp :)
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 02:11 PM are you an auto or manual?
My car is
manuf date 04/07
50K miles
Manual trannsmission
alexisthemovie 11-18-2008, 02:12 PM are you an auto or manual?
are you serious??? 9LB flywheel!
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 02:12 PM get that turbo on there and we'll see some real hp :)
Ohhh yea defintely I was checking out the PTP turboed Rx8 they had there.. it was only pushing about 300 RWP but that thing pickes up.....
I dont think the owner upgraded his fuel system.. he just has the management and turbo kit and stronger clutch but its conservative tune.. it was sweeet..
I also saw a beat! a silver miata with 400 RWP!!!!!! it was jons! thing was ohh so sweeet:cuddle:
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 02:14 PM are you serious??? 9LB flywheel!
yeah man i have the Sr motorsport aluminum flywheel 9lb but with the balancer its prob more like what 11 lb or something idk i didnt weight it.. but my muscles said it was significantly lighter than my stock flywheel
I mean i beleive my car has more HP the computer was having a hard time reading my rpms sooo idk
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 02:17 PM that is a very low number. we had an 8 here in CO (Huzer21) who only had the BHR Ignition and an AP (running cobb's stage 1 map) and he got 189whp and I think 110tq.
I thought for sure you would get mid 190s to maybe the low 200s...DAMN. g/l
wow that TQ was low! i think id spare 15 Hp for 20 pounds of TQ
alexisthemovie 11-18-2008, 02:29 PM yeah man i have the Sr motorsport aluminum flywheel 9lb but with the balancer its prob more like what 11 lb or something idk i didnt weight it.. but my muscles said it was significantly lighter than my stock flywheel
I mean i beleive my car has more HP the computer was having a hard time reading my rpms sooo idk
haha i was referring to the guy who asked if it was auto or manual. autos don't have flywheels.

DO ITTT
imput1234 11-18-2008, 05:52 PM Did you change plugs/wires/coils? there is no way it can be that low.
05rex8 11-18-2008, 06:36 PM that's.....disappointing...
at least your 8 looks better than the SI :)
rx8thunder 11-18-2008, 07:51 PM Did you get you Cobb tuned? I dynoed at 193 WHP before Jeff tuned my Cobb. He got it up 204 WHP with his few magic tweaks.

Yea man I have mazsport coils and wires.. plugs were changed aprox 10K miles ago.. but have been cleaned every 5K miles.
The cobb has MM map...
wow i wish i was up in that range!
05rx8mazda 11-18-2008, 10:24 PM that's.....disappointing...

O H YEA!! the 8 loooks much sexier!
alz0rz 11-18-2008, 11:25 PM ^ indeed.
at this point I would probably just say the dyno was wrong!
if you have a healthy motor and with those mods you should easily be pushing more... so just get it dyno'd elsewhere and feel good about it ;)
rx8thunder 11-18-2008, 11:45 PM Yea man I have mazsport coils and wires.. plugs were changed aprox 10K miles ago.. but have been cleaned every 5K miles.
The cobb has MM map...
wow i wish i was up in that range!
Just to clarify, I was running a MM map when I got the lower result. I flew Jeff in for a dyno day and he optimized my 8 with a custom map and that is what produced and incremental +11hp. In other words, it's not enough to just choose one of his available maps, especially if you are catless, you need to get a custom one. With that, you could easily jump to 190+.
SiLVeRE8 11-19-2008, 02:42 AM i thought it would be in the 200 range and i was pretty sure too because i got similar mods, but no cobb ap or ignition solution and got 202 hp and 143 tq. i think maybe you should recheck your coils and sparks and give it another pull. or maybe the theres something wrong with the dyno...

not likely since the civics read normal...
SiLVeRE8 11-19-2008, 04:01 AM not likely since the civics read normal...
if its not the dyno then maybe the car.
well what rpm was it when you produced 183 hp? could it have been cut off by any chance? gotta see the graph though.
tiltmode43 11-19-2008, 04:04 AM This motor is too sporadic. I <3 how stock has been reported putting down 190+whp
05rx8mazda 11-19-2008, 07:16 AM I belive it maxed out at around 8500 Rpm range. i need to post up the graph..
I also have overlapped ghraphs with the 8 and the other civics.. but the RPm is only shown until 7K rpm =P
hahahahah
I mean the could are working properly i would assume i do not bog or anything.. only ting that happens around 6.5 RPm it jerked and bogged.. it threw a SSV valve stuck open code but i just drove the car hard one night flame after flame!!!!!! and it didnt come back but my top end felt a lot less strong.
I would love to get MM to get me a new map but hes EXTREMELY busy.. messaged him with me going out and hand writing the info he needed about ummmmmm since maybe the summer??? still waiting =]]
anyways i will try to upload the pictures and both graphs today
05rx8mazda 11-19-2008, 07:20 AM if its not the dyno then maybe the car.
well what rpm was it when you produced 183 hp? could it have been cut off by any chance? gotta see the graph though.
Yeah some parts of the graph were cut off... for some reason my car has had a problem with the computer reading my RPM properly... same thing happaned before
05rx8mazda 11-21-2008, 06:46 PM DYNO GRAPH!

invasion08 11-21-2008, 06:59 PM what spark plug wires are you using? OEM?
invasion08 11-21-2008, 07:04 PM The reason i ask is when i had my car dyno'd and tuned i was having it cut out on me too in the high rpms then i took off the nology spark wires and put on mazsports wires and the problem was gone and was able to find 10 more rwhp
05rx8mazda 11-21-2008, 11:45 PM I am using the mazsport ignition solution....
thier wires as well.
Brettus 11-22-2008, 12:11 AM your curve looks like many i've seen that are running too rich up top ......
05rx8mazda 11-22-2008, 12:51 AM your curve looks like many i've seen that are running too rich up top ......
Yeah the car is running rich.. its normally 12's and occasionally 11.1
but mm said on different loads well see different AFR. its not running lean or anything i know that for a fact. i just datalogged and were trying to convert to excel so that MM can take a look at it.
