Its not about quantity of HP but of quality...

torque looks nice and flat.

Thanks Man, coming from you that's a compliment

Since I didn't sign up for dyno time with Christian @ Cobb Track Day
I put it on the Dyno here in Boulder to see what it's actually at.
Harvey said it was runnin' rich, so I'll change the Mass Air Flow and see if it improves.

Is that at the crank? or wheels. You better be running a automatic LOL.

siouxbe · Post by **siouxbe** » Sun Aug 26, 2007 2:58 am

That's @ the Wheels, thank you very much

and NO it's not a 'slush-box', it's a manual.

Then overall thats pretty good. If that was at the crank I would have been angry lol.

I will be so incredibly happy if mine makes it to 250k. I'm sure yours will go forever, looked like you took amazing care of it.

greg donovan · Post by **greg donovan** » Sun Aug 26, 2007 5:58 am

that is on an AWD dyno, right?

siouxbe · Post by **siouxbe** » Mon Aug 27, 2007 4:34 am

Yep, I plan on it

I purchased this Leggy New the day The Gulf War started. As y'all know it's 130HP @ the Crank stock.
Yes, It's an AWD Dyno.
Compare to another Leggy Wgn. ('93) IIRC put down 62HP @ the wheels on the same Dyno here in Boulder.

strange dip in the middle there on the plot.

Any idea what caused it?

Most of the modded NA cars do that. Most people attribute it to a hiccup caused by the intake...

damn good numbers for an NA 2.2.
is that 250k on the same motor? ever done a compression test on it?
I wonder what mine would do.

Nice clean car you have siouxbe!

siouxbe · Post by **siouxbe** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 9:22 pm

Thanks Eric, Matt, Hey 206er!
Yep same engine for 250,000 miles
last compression test showed 165psi on All 4 cly.!

Congrats...

Only one thing...

Your car is a BJ, not a BF...

BF = raised roof wagon

BJ= non-raised roof wagon

I stand corrected, I looked it up and yer right.
But, a title of I am the King of all BJ's sounds
so much funnier

Post by **DLC** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 4:50 am

Fixed!

siouxbe · Post by **siouxbe** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 3:25 pm

Thanks Dave, it was good to see you at the Cobb Track Day.
Sorry, I over-heated on the first lap of the 4th session and
wasn't able to give you a ride 'round the track.

Um, are you sure about that title?

entirelyturbo · Post by **entirelyturbo** » Sat Sep 01, 2007 3:41 pm

Read into it enough, and it becomes REALLY funny!

All in good fun.

Those dyno numbers are quite impressive. I'd call that stock 2.5RS power, and on an engine with that many miles, that's good!

I'm still very tentatively thinking about doing my car up with an N/A tune once I graduate and the car is no longer my DD.

greg donovan · Post by **greg donovan** » Sat Sep 01, 2007 7:07 pm

i wonder what those numbers would look like if it were just FWD?

Matt Monson · Post by **Matt Monson** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 4:25 pm

Actually,
On that particular dyno (which is the same dyno I have used in the past) a stock 2.5RS puts down about 95whp. He's putting down what an RS does with full exhaust on it...

boro · Post by **boro** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 8:34 am

I'm curious what my numbers would be like. I have just under 220k miles with low compression on the front cylinders. I measured the front two at 130~135 psi. The back cyl are at 155-ish.

I run 14psi daily. I'll walk away from a Cobalt SS, from 70mph in 5th. Not saying much, but its a good testament to Subie engineering. I just don't want to blow up on the dyno and be minus a DD.

all righty, where did you get that air deflector ? looks like it might be from a loyale?
