nice build!

 

so how much power is this thing making right now?

 

putting down around 240-245. i pull on my boys t2 by 3rd we never strecthed out 4th yet. but probably put 3 cars on him by the end of 4th. hes got stage 2 turbo,running 8lbs boost ,full 3 inch exhaust, intake, fuel cut defensor, stock ecu, lightweight flywheel, stage 2 clutch.
my power kicks in full at 6grand all the way to 9grand.

 

Dam I'm going with a half bridge s5 t2 motor s5 na internals and a holley 650DP carb. With a 3 inch exhaust.

 

Dyno sheets?

 

i have it some where but it doesnt show correct numbers. to what it read on the screen. that and mainlinedynos are know for being off on there readings. thats why ive been doing runs with cars in or 50hp higher than my power range to see for my self if the numbers come close to what we came up with. and so far its on point.

 

3 inch is to much a 2-1/2 would be better. the bigger the pipe the higher your power band takes to kick in. my full power band kicks in at5-1/2 to 6. when i had a bigger pipe size it was around 6-1/2 to 7.

 

so how much power did your dyno run say you made?

 

sounds like a pissed off chainsaw lol good stuff though

 

+1
Why bother asking for dyno sheets GSLSE? You're in CA and he's in NJ.

 

it read like 210. but its def not acurate. all the cars ive run are in the 210 to 300 hp range. some with the same power to weight ratio and others with less weight or more weight. for instance i ran a delsol mid engine with type r motor. he is putting down 200 to the wheels and weighd in at 2300 lbs. im weighd in at 2600 lbs. from 1st,2nd he had about 4 cars on me,by the end of 4th i was putting 2 cars on.

then my friends t2 is putting down around 230hp are weight is about the same and i slowly start to pull on him. then theres the modded mustang gt i ran he was somewhere in the 300 hp range. by the end of 4th i had half a car on him.

ran a modded gti he was putting 230 down intake full exhaust 1stage chiped ecu. half way through 4th had 1 and half cars on him.

ive purposly been talking to people to run that are what we figured out to be at my hp results. because i didnt feel it was real myself. sofar from the testing ive done with the cars ive run. i feel its right in that power range. im still in the works to do some more power runs with some other people ive been set up with. so i will see what info i learn from these runs. and post those results.

 

not for nothing, but wouldn't acceleration times be more appropriate and probably more helpful to you?

 

wow good job man beautiful car and where did you find that muffler?

 

so you made 210 to the wheels. a dyno is a tool to measure torque and hp, nothing more.
just because your car can beat a car that claims they are making 300 rwhp does not mean you are. if your car feels like its making 300 rwhp doesn't mean it is.
even if you beat cars making 600 hp it would mean they have problems in their setup, tires, gearing,etc. it wouldn't mean your making more hp.

 

possibly. or if i can get the gpro and test it out that way.

 

all of that is true to a point. thats why the cars weve been setting up with have all had dyno runs to show there power. so the testing can be as close to acurate as possible. everything has been a blast so far. everyone has been good sports to what im doing. so its fun.

 

defined auto made it.

 

yes, this is sort of what i was hinting at with my post. there are too many intangibles and variables if you set out to know what the car can really do. different cars, different dynos, different drivers, etc. if your aim is to get an idea of your power my feeling is this ... solid numbers are your best friend. they will tell you if your dyno was ballpark or way, way off. admittedly, i'm not a hardcore "racer" but this is one of the times the hardcore racer mentality is probably best.

GPro is an okay tool, but i think running the car for an actual time would be best for you to get baseline information. it will help guide you to troubleshooting and can help with your tuning endeavors as well.

 

nice build very clean

 

Jorx7, I know that this is an old thread and it looks like you have sold the engine. But what internals were used? Also I saw that you had the engine built probably to the specs of not going over 8.5k RPMS? As you stated that you wouldn't. So if you used the s5 rotors were they balanced? Also with transmission was used. ?

 

all s5 t2 internals with my s5 n/a rotors, all was in spec so i did not have to balance anything,was able to rev the motor to 9 k a couple times with no issues, usually shifted at 8 -8.5 k if was ripping her open on the highway, premixed from day 1, premix is what helped this motor stay so strong. it was my n/a trans, my car was never a t2. just put my flywheel on the t2 motor and good to go.

 

power that was made from my setup was 210-215 whp with defined auto exhaust, then went back to racing beat header and silencer, with rev2 t2 catback made 200 whp.

 

I am the lucky new owner of the engine. Will be doing the swap in the next few weeks, weather permitting... Took me a while to sit down and figure out the electrical details since my car is an '86 GXL. Talked with Chris at Banzai Racing and he was a great help in getting all my questions sorted out. Going to use my S4 wiring with their S4 PFC wiring adapter and then change the ends of the engine harness to the S5 connectors. Then swap the alternator with my S4 unit and slide it in!

Should have some pictures and hopefully initial startup vid here in the next few weeks. Hope you're not disappointed John but I have spent quite a few hours scraping that green and blue paint off.... haha. Just not my style!

 

lol its all good man. just can't wait to hear her run again.
