on Wednesday the 16th, will post results from the run in the p.m. same day. I am excited to see what the actual #s are, I know how it feels, but.......... the #s will tell y'all wazzup!

 

OK cool.

 

Post some car pics too!

 

I'll be posting all my pics here soon, all I have right now are before the KLEEMANN kit and H&R cup kit, oh yeah and the car is dirty, so I choose not to post those.

What the hell.................

mind you it's not a pic I set aside to show everyone, this is about 9 months old, but here's apoint of reference for thurs. pics

 

Here are the results

Warning: I am going to get another run done at a shop that has more experience w/ MB cause this place gave me some strange readings. You'll see what I mean.

more to follow:

 

160.7 =220hp
.73*

*(23% loss)

here's the goofy ****,

 

I just want to be fair, I almost didn't post because these #'s don't represent the way this kit performs, but ....... being fair

 

now, these #'s are also after the car was driven 50+ miles to Auburn from Olympia, Wa. so these #'s represent REAL WORLD output, not a perfect run, which I was hoping for, but hey

 

I need a bath!!

This is what happens when you live in the N.W.

My roommate drove the car to work for the dyno run and didn't get a chance to wash it, but such is life..............

it only looks like this 30% of the time during the winter, and .3% the rest of the time

I know, I know....

BAD MB OWNER, BAD!!!!!!!!

 

dj-po, the weird line your seeing is either the computer making adjustments when the motor is hot and seeing detonation. Mostly likely by looking at the speed, about 45 MPH, is the transmission shifting from 1st-2nd gear. It is torque converter spike that normally occurs but can skew a dyno run. Your run should have been done in either 2nd or 3rd for the best accuracy.

There is a kickdown cable that can be removed to show what the motor is doing from 2000 RPMs on up. Manual tranmissions don't have this problem. Also I don't see SAE correction for atmospheric conditions. Dynojet dynamometer print does a correction tempature, humidity, and elevation. That way they can be compared to other dynojet dynos during differ conditions.

Your numbers look good. Probably putting more than any new stock C-kompressor. I love those wheels especially with the H&R kit. Looks sharp.

Are you going back? I'd love to see a run with a the cat-back exhaust dropped.

The power you are making is about 4 to 5% down from what it should be. Without a "before" run to compare to no one knows where the deficit is coming from. In any event, the numbers look good, particularly the nice fat torque band through the mid-range. Certainly this has made a significant change in the way the vehicle drives.

 

I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!

I am a little confused with your calculation..
for 23% loss it should be 1:0.77 x 160.7 = 208.7 hp

for 27% loss it should be 1:0.73 x 160.7 = 220.1 hp

please correct me if I am wrong..
But I am still learing how to properly calculate rear wheel hp with to find out fly-wheel hp.
