Thread: Stock Dyno 140kw is that too low? What is yours?

    Otherwise there are a lot of variables that you need to consider.

    Dyno could read low
    Dyno operator could have done something wrong
    What gear was the run in
    Car could have been heat soaked
    Age of car

    It goes on and on.

    What I would do if your conserned and can't find another MPS to compare with.
    Give the car a service, new oil, new air filter and if they haven't been changed, spark plugs.
    See if that feels any different

    Then you could look at buying a Cobb Accessport (plenty of second hand ones popping up for sale at a good price now the new one is out)
    With that you can do some "logs" ie. record all the paramators the ECU reads. With that, may of the switched on guys here can have a look and see if anything looks strange.
    The accessport also gives you the ability to flash a new improved map to the ECU and allow further tuning if the mod bug bites
    Might need a service.
    Thanks mate, that was very informative, i cant find a same car dyno to compare. But my firend's Brz had dyno there and got lower kw than normal as well. However, i did think about to get a AP.

    Ecutek is a popular system available from MRT and Tunehouse.

    Or buy a COBB AP and contact Rich at Richtuning or Lex and Stratified Tuning, both e-tuners who do great proven work on our forum.

    Thought to get a Ap, but concern how much it does cost me on e-tuning.

    i would say i do service every 5000km, that is not a issue.

    If all in check I wouldnt worry, probably low reading dyno.
    That is very informative checking processes. what way would you recommend me to do these checks. Should i go to tuning house (i am in SA, yeaa, no much Tuning place here) or but AP and log data, send to experienced tuner?

    thanks

    Try the simple things you can do your self first, check the tightness of all the clamps from the intake to turbo, also remove the cover from the top of the intercooler and check the hose clamps on the intercooler.

    After 14Okw stock tuning, I got SRI and TIP (full engine mounts as well, not sure they contribute any power ) straight on it. Then I got 170kw after these modes. Happy with results. Prepare to get IC and DP , and AP I guess.

    Well there is you answer then.
    Unless you used a different dyno.
    Either your air filter was completely shagged, or you got a really poor dyno run due to heat or something to that effect because there is no way a Sri and tip will give you 30kw.

    Dynos can lie. Forget numbers, how does it feel?
    That's the important part.
