Earlier in the year I won an hour of free dyno time with a local shop from my local SCCA AutoX region(Washington D.C. Region). I'm finally going to put it to use and get some numbers from my car. Anyone care to make some guesses? I'll give you a nice hairy, dirty, sticky, moldy cookie if you're right! lol

Engine info:
Original D16Z6 with 210k miles (Manual trans), runs great.
AEM Short Ram Intake
DC Sports 4-2-1 ceramic header
Magnaflow 2.25" cat-back exhaust

If my research is correct(someone correct me if I'm wrong), these motors stock put out around 105whp? With the higher mileage, abuse and the minor mods I'll make a somewhat conservative guess that it'll make 110whp. I think I'd be happy with that. Anything under that and I'll definitely end up rebuilding the motor this winter to original stock specs and new parts.

 

damn.... I did forget to take that into consideration. This will be hard to guess and now I'm real concerned about breaking their dyno, I don't want to pay for that...

 

With the amount of stickers you have I'd be afraid you'll make the dyno borked.

 

hmm, don't know why my post shows up before yours Gene...damn forums lol.

 

Every NA d16 I've seen does 105ish WHP. so I went with 106-110

 

I'm going to guess that the web server synchronized with an NTP server and that's how that happened.

 

with having the 210k miles on the motor, and the fact you drive it, i went with 101-105 hp. lol @ mbrent thats my second guess

 

Good to see I have a little more faith on this forum than some others I've asked lol.

I've come up with an average with what everyone's been saying(I'm asking outside of this forum too) and the average is 103.7whp so far.

I'm still staying confident in my motor. A buddy of mine that has a national competitive hatch Si with the same motor/mods but rebuilt and ECU tune made 125whp with 10k miles on it. He's also said he's seen other similar motor/mod cars with ~200k miles go as high as 114whp. I'm reeeally hoping mine's kinda up there(not 115whp+ but still high for what it is), it does feel real good when I'm racing but only the dyno will tell...

Now I don't know anything about dyno's but a buddy of mine said the dyno I'm running on is a Dyno Dynamics which he calls, and I quote, "the heartbreaker" lol. He actually guessed I'll make 96whp/78wtq on it. Don't know if that dyno will change any of your opinions.

 

I went with 96-100, but submitted my vote before asking my question.. Are you doing anything to the ECU or are you doing your runs as is?

 

Stock ECU and running as is, no tuning or anything. May upgrade the ECU over the winter.
