hey guys
i have a quick question im going to dyno my fc tommerow at school.
i want to know where is the best place to hook the tie down to.. ive been under the car multiple times but i never actually paid attention to the rear of the car to see if it had a tow hook or something.. ive never dyno'd a car before

 

There are 2 tow hooks at the rear.

 

SHWEET.. ok thanks
i hope i get a decent hp and tq rating..
ill let you guys know tomorrow

 

yeah tow hooks in the rear and you could put it on the front subframe or though the wheels for the front

 

dont hold your breathe on the torque :>

 

my old car

 

sigh..so my base line for my build.
ok my 5th and 6th ports aren't working.
i dynoed at 100hp and 89torq with 93 and octane booster(for some reason i get better mpg with it) with a 4gear run up to 7500rpm

then TO PROVE THAT YOU DONT Gain **** by revving to 8 k i did a 3rd gear run at 8k
i made 100 hp and 83 ftlbs of torq.

just for ***** and giggles
its a 88 s4 vert
with msd 6al and a kn N air filter
and electric fan
and brand new clutch.

 

so your ports are stuck closed? I dyno'd my old car with the ports closed and then with the ports wired open. It was about a 20whp difference and much different torque curve

 

there not stuck cause the actuate by hand... the previous **** ... who had the car took the cats out and hollowd the first cat.
so much ghettoness anywho im saving up to do the electric conversation i have the pump all i need is the msd.

 

With the aux. ports working, there will be a good chunk of HP to re-gain, but the manifold design will make HP take a nosedive after ~6.5k RPM. There's also no point to running 93 octane with octane booster. The engine was designed to run 87 octane, so anything else is a waste of money. There's no power to be gained by running higher octane fuel.

 

yea i kno this the only reason i put the "good stuff" cause i get better gas mileage for some reason.
and i was thinking of taking that plastic air hose out and replacing it with a metal pipe that i can weld up. and place the air filter in a cooler area or build a cold box.

 

cold air intake down where the washer bottle is

tow "loop" in the front too

if you wire them open it'll be totaly top end, like 4500+. you wont have any power below that. You'll make much larger peak numbers tho...

 

yea if it didnt rain all this ******* week up here i woulda did that.
oh well next dyno day im hoping to have a 6port turbo ready to go

 

if you get a safc and tune some fuel out to run atleast 12.5-13 ratio, you will gain some power throughout the power band.
