Kyle, did you put the new tranny "setup" in too? <p>Tony<br><br>Proud owner of<br>1970 AMX 360/auto with A/C<br>1989 Suzuki Swift GTi<br></p><i></i>

Thanks for the email mrchief. What were the mods done to yours again? I will pretty up the web page I put them on soon. Here is the temporary page for now. <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.angelfire.com/ky3/teamswift/dynos.html">www.angelfire.com/ky3/tea...dynos.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>I think it's great to see these dyno runs from all GTis out there, so if you have some, please send them.<br><br>Tony, I am working on it. I'm going to pick up another transmission first and then put it in. I do need the new set up... if I try and launch or shift hard between gears it gets a bit silly. <br><br><br><br> <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="font-size:xx-small;"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Kyle Jones<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.angelfire.com/de/ksj/myswift.html"><br>Junk-Yard Turbo set-up, formerly NOS-fed, constantly evolving 1989 Suzuki Swift</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><br></p><i></i>

whattheeee, what did u think of my dyno result??? and the mods are on the first page of the topic...okey<br><br><br>toNy <p></p><i></i>

Very nice numbers Kyle!!!Very impressive man...lets see some slips now.<br><br>Btw it looks like my engine in there....with that yellow valve cover hehehe<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

It does look a little too low overall, but that could just be a function of the different dyno. Your power curve actually doesn't look like there is anything seriously wrong and you don't have the same dip in the lower rpms that my stock motors seem to suffer from. Some of the motor work likely paid off (I think that dyno is showing low 'corrected' numbers).<br><br>One thing I can say is that you definetely shut down tooo soon which hurt your 'peak numbers'. The power band was still rising and you stopped the dyno run. You should have run to at least 7500rpms (fuel cut), and even a run to 8000rpms with those camshafts would have been nice to see. If you are racing on the street... definetely take it up to 7500rpms minimum!! I noticed your VE point looks to be 500rpms later than mine... a function of the different cams and a sign that you should be revving higher. <br><br>If you have another chance, you might want to try a different dyno (Dynojets seems to be somewhat repeatable), and also definetely take my advice and rev it allll the way to fuel cut... or get a chip and rev it a little higher than 7500rpms (north american fuel cut mind you). <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="font-size:xx-small;"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Kyle Jones<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.angelfire.com/de/ksj/myswift.html"><br>Junk-Yard Turbo set-up, formerly NOS-fed, constantly evolving 1989 Suzuki Swift</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><br></p><i></i>

<br>Whattheee, i know what u mean...i could of gone more in the rpm (fuel cut at 7500rpm) but i have a stock ecu that was the problem. i do rev it high and it goes...i can feel the differences from bout 3500 - 4000 up rpm with the racing camshaft from the stock ones. i will be soon gettin the link intercept chip so we shall see what happens and i will give u the result...okey<br><br>toNy <p></p><i></i>

If your gettin say 80bhp at the wheels whats that roughly at the engine/flywheel? <p></p><i></i>

Hey MrChief, I saw your dyno run and I think there's something wrong with it. At 6600 RPM, with 197Nm of torque you should be making 136 KW or 182 HP from the following formula.<br><br>P=T x RPM x 6.28/60000<br><br>T= toqrue [Nm]<br>P=Power [KW]<br><br>So maybe the dyno sensors were out of calibration or something was plugged the wrong way. Just think of your max torque, 197Nm is 142lb.ft... quite similar to Kyle's at 9.5psi of boost !!! Impossible for a N/A car. What is the list of mods done ? What kind of cams ??? <p>'95 Suzuki Swift GTi tuned by HM Competición</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub83.ezboard.com/bteamswift.showUserPublicProfile?gid=caaarlo>Caaarlo</A> at: 6/30/03 4:35 pm<br></i>

oh crap... I was wondering waht Caarlo was talking about. Went back and I looked at the torque numbers and they are completely wrong. I thought I saw that as 98nM or something originally. So 72 lb/ft and 74hp at the wheels not revving all the way up...<br><br>198nM with that horsepower is either is not a GTi motor, or some very weird non-rotational torque conversion I haven't seen before.

How can you tell the power at the flywheel with the numbers you have at the wheels???<br> <p>______________________________________________________<br>Powered by a lawnmower, but still kicking ass<br><br>1989 Suzuki swift GTi<br>1991 Pontiac Firefly Turbo<br>1992 suzuki swift GLX 1.6<br>1995 Pontiac Firefly 4 doors GTi<br></p><i></i>

A quick and general lesson for others...<br><br>"Generally" manufacturers rate engine horsepower at the flywheel. That is, your motor is basically sitting there on a stand before it goes through the drive train on the car, the exhaust, and various things. <br><br>When you put it on the dyno, you have losses all through the drivetrain to consider and because of the specifics of different drivetrains (AWD, RWD, FWD) there are different losses for every vehicle. After the power the engine is making finally makes it's way to the ground there are generally from 15%-30% losses. In order to find out how much horsepower you are making at the flywheel, you have to know how much power you are losing through the drivetrain.<br><br>For example, our Gti engine is rated at 100hp at the flywheel. So Let's say a 100% stock GTi went and dynod 84hp@wheels, we could say that 84% of the power that is at the flywheel is making it to the ground. That means that if hte manufacturers ratings are correct for flywheel hp, there are 16% losses in drive-train to be assumed on a GTi (my car dyno'd 84hp@wheels with good condition motor and intake/exhaust... how much intake/exhaust added over stock... who knows. I haven't seen a 100% stock GTi around here for a long time). <br><br>So now you go slap on a junk-yard turbo on your once stock GTi and you dyno 151.7hp@wheels. Seeing as you already have your figure for drive-train loss on your car you would just go 151.7hp/.84 and you would get a magical 180.6hp@flywheel. If I didn't know any better I could assume even more losses and assume more flywheel horsepower.<br><br>Assuming 16% losses on our cars would actually be fairly low, but it's quite possible. The only true way to know would be to dyno a stock GTi engine out of the car at the flywheel like the manufacturers do, and then dyno it in the car. The reason I suggest that is because manufacturers flywheel horsepower numbers don't always match up when production comes around. <br><br>To give an idea of how drive-train losses from car to car can vary (even both FWD/RWD/AWD), here is a comparison of my car vs. a FWD Type R VTEC which is rated at 190hp (this Type-R is not stock either, but on the same dyno with close to same run conditions). You'll see that I have way more torque and only a few less peak hp. <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.angelfire.com/ky3/teamswift/swiftcomparison.html">www.angelfire.com/ky3/tea...rison.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><br> <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="font-size:xx-small;"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Kyle Jones<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.angelfire.com/de/ksj/myswift.html"><br>Junk-Yard Turbo set-up, formerly NOS-fed, constantly evolving 1989 Suzuki Swift</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><br></p><i></i>

Interesting, but hard to believe with those mods, stock cams and stock CR. It would have been nice to see the plot beyond 7500 as it still makes power. <p>'95 Suzuki Swift GTi tuned by HM Competición</p><i></i>

The uk dynos seem to read unrealistically high. I recall talking to a uk guy that was claiming 119bhp from a filter and some leads.....riiiight. The dyno sheet backed up his claim....but that is 19% more power than from factory! <p></p><i></i>

Could it be due to the fact that we use a much richer grade of fuel in the uk, I use 98 octane petrol which contribute to a far more productive burn than 92 octane (is that what you guy run on in the US)<br>The evidence is on my swift website in black and white and the dyno I was tested on is run by a very well established turning company.<br>What can I say? <p></p><i></i>

How does a 'rolling road' give flywheel horsepower? In my mind, it can't. With dyno results like that, I would definetely use it as a tuning aid. i.e. <br><br>The load based dynos that apply brakes to bare gripless metal often have mystifying results and are known to be inconsistent as they absorb power actively. Besides that, tire pressures, wheel alignment, slippage on rollers, tires size, gearing, etc. etc. can all have effects on numbers. Picking up 30hp through 3-4 extra octane points is impossible on our 1.3Ls. If you have 92-94 'crap' gas somewheres, put it in and see if you lose 30hp. <br><br>Inertia dynos are more accurate and harder to manipulate and a good dyno operator will be honest and know the reasons for some inconsistencies.<br> <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="font-size:xx-small;"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Kyle Jones<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.angelfire.com/de/ksj/myswift.html"><br>Junk-Yard Turbo set-up, formerly NOS-fed, constantly evolving 1989 Suzuki Swift</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><br></p><i></i>

Eddy Current = real dyno<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I have the stock gti that everyone is looking for to get a reliable baseline. I'm putting in a new clutch this week and the place that I buy parts from is nice enough to let me run a few baselines. this car currently is bone stock, has 100,000 miles on it( it was babied,yo!) and has only stock parts from suzuki as far as any replacements(cap rotor etc.) the dyno is a dynojet. they run 3rd gear pulls to get their numbers. I will post asap...plus I'm going to the track to get baseline 1/4 mile times as well. <p></p><i></i>

Use 4th gear. then it is "somewhat" comparable to other cars. being 4th gear the tranny ratio is 1:1. as all cars will have a 1:1 ratio. <p></p><i></i>
