That's what I thought... but he wanted to do the rest in 3rd and I just went with it

 

what?
I pulled 203 whp at my last dyno day.
if you're referring to the BHR ignition, it was due to a broken spark plug wires. The wire broke in the boot where it does a 90 degree bend to the coil. (both trailings were broken)

 

Jon, how much did this cost you? Even though I am too afraid to dyno my car. I'm sure it was fun though.

 

Listen to Chicken, don't let a number get you down!

Your curves look smooth so maybe the dyno was underestimating yor output. Just like others have said it looks like they should have taken in higher up into the redline. If they stopped at 8500 rpms on your tach then it will be lower than that. Next time take it to 9000 since the tach reads higher than the output.

 

It costs $65 for 3 runs and an additional $10 for AFR reading (which I recommend).

I was a little bummed... but I really did this to verify that my tune was going smoothly and my car was operating like it should.
I wasn't going there expecting HUGE gains.
The power curve looks awesome, but the lower numbers and the roughly 2.0 AFR difference from start to finish made me wonder if something was wrong.

 

AFR looks good and the your curves look pretty linear

 

I think its the dyno, 65 for 3 runs and 10 for the AFR. The shop im going to its 75 for 3 pulls and 25 for the wideband reading. Im planning on dyno'ing my new 8 to see how healthy the engine is.

 

^Hey post your runs in the dyno comp link I posted

Oh I know Jedi I was just saying something may be wrong. You never know.

John I cant find my dyno slip. I will have to ask my other half where I put it. Anyway when I find it I will list the list of mods and when I get my new goodies installed I will do some more runs

 

Just read this

Well wat was the day like? Was it ultra hot and humid or was it a nice cool day?

But seriously, if your friends car is 20whp than normal why dont you ask them to check it out?

 

what are the two dips at 6500 and 7500 rpms? the stock dynos have em two

 

I believe its the intake valves opening.

 

looks like a perfectly good dyno to me , they just backed off a little early that's all .

 

is there a link that explains these valves function in detail?

 

Seems quite low with the mods you have... Maybe its the dyno. Cause when I had similar mods as you I ran 201.5 hp and 143 tq

 

How many times do you have to be told by people who dyno strong numbers in an RX-8 that the linked thread above is BS

BS!!!!!!

It's an insult to this entire forum that such BS is posted as a sticky.


The OPs graphs don't look too bad, plenty of people have seen much worse ....



.

 

yeah, I've never pulled a fuse to dyno a car. That's lame

 

Yep.

 

damn. Does the car feel much faster than stock?

 

Its a noticeable difference.
