Dyno Tests

[FRANCO]

Has anyone Dynoed their car? What was your hp/ ft/lbs to the wheels? I would like the stock numbers, but if you have any modifications, please list them.

[Hamann330i]

I dyno 187.7 hp and 191.2 ft/lbs stock.

Do you have an auto or manual?

yes, it's stock with no mods at all.
there is no point to do the top speed, the computer is going to cut me off anyways.

thats only 215HP from the engine. I've seen stock 330Ci's with 199-200ish. Wonder if the 330i is less or just in this case. I also know elevation, humidity, temperature etc have there effect. What was the temp etc?

It could also be that each dyno reacts a little differently to every car. Dyno numbers are subjective at best.

The best use of a dyno is to compare runs of the *same* car on the *same* dyno between performance modifications to show gain/loss.

Assuming a 15% drivetrain loss, 187.7 RWHP equates to 220.8 crank HP (i.e. 187.7/0.85).

See http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10133 for more info on calculating crank HP from RWHP. /forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif
