dyno today

U need slapped

I know for a fact that it is electric mine went out!!

116hp at the wheel using 87 octane has been consistent in the several dyno charts available on this site or thru links on this site.

So consistent that I question the ability of any member questioning the consistency to do a search.

And no I will not do the search for you but I will continue to laugh at any who continue to question the power the 1.4T sends to the wheels.

And JusticePete got 124hp to the wheel using 93 octane.

Not sure if this was directed at me or someone else or me and others...

My comment was in regards to his torque...the hp seems about right for drivetrain loss, but the torque numbers are quite high considering the car is rated 148 torque at the crank...

What gear are u guys doing your dyno pulls in? That can skew numbers from the get go. It looks even though 4th is an overdrive it's the closest to a 1:1 ratio.

My dyno results was in 4th gear and corrected

On another randomly relted note: I just purchased a Trifecta Tune for my 2013 1.4 Turbo automatic RS. Any experience with what approx. HP/Torque increase I can expect with this product? Any other issues I should be prepared for?

30hp/50lb of torque..... please search

 

[godug]

Trifecta tune increase

$$-
THANKYOU!!! Sounds like it will be worth the price!!!

On a 1.4 it is. There are threads everywhere on here about it you should look through them

 

[d.p]

lol wow

I've told you this 4 times.

If the dyno operator knows what they are doing it will not matter what gear is used. I watched a buddy with a turbo Cavalier make pulls in three different gears and the numbers were within 1-2 between all the runs.

Very true but that's a big IF to me plus some exaggerate the correction factor to skew numbers and give you a big warm fuzzy and I am aware that a dynojet and mustang dyno give slightly different numbers. I'm not saying at all that the numbers people are posting are wrong I just was wondering. Not everyone that operates a dyno knows how to use it just like people that do custom tuning software. Any how great results everyone.

You know for a fact the water pump is electric? Seems very strange all of the videos of a 1.4 turbo show a pully. Also seems strange all of them I find for sale have a pully. In fact, rockauto will also sell you the pully seperate.

The Sonic has electric power steering, the water pump is driven by a belt.



007CobaltLS, torque will change with whatever gear you are in. HP is power and will not be effected really unless different gears introduce different amounts of loss. I don't know why so many people make such a big deal out of torque numbers lately. An engine producing 100ft\lb at 3000rpm will produce the same exact amount of power as an engine producing 200ft\lb at 1500rpm. If you gear them to be the same RPM they will both produce the same exact amount of torque at the output. In fact they also both produce the same amount of horsepower as well. IMO the torque an engine produces at its flywheel is only relevant if you are engineering a clutch and transmission for it, otherwise its meaningless. Some could argue the torque curve is very important, however this will also be reflected in the HP curve.

A few guys on here are concerned about torque because of their clutch and transmission being weak points, this I can understand.


Eh, thats my two cents.

That's my like five cents

Indeed. Your e-peen has to be bigger now!

That says it has an electronically controlled thermostat which I think most know.
The pump is pully driven.
