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

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!!

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

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

11-18-2008, 01:36 PM
That Si must have been modded like WOAH

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

yeah man dynoe jet..

I wonder myself as well.... Probably LOW!!!!!! :cussing:

05rx8mazda
11-18-2008, 01:56 PM

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

are you serious??? 9LB flywheel!

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

wow that TQ was low! i think id spare 15 Hp for 20 pounds of TQ

haha i was referring to the guy who asked if it was auto or manual. autos don't have flywheels.

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!

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 ;)

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+.

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...

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

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

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.

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.
