Had my car on the rollers today...
- Thread starter Marpol
- Start date
Just the exhaust mate, there is a big difference, but only because we use different dynos, I would bet on the same Dyno our cars would be only about 5bhp either side instead of 20+Marpol said:
Previously I was 197 in cold conditions, now 198.6 in warm conditions, all I had done was valve clearances! 8)
No two different dynos will give the same result.
The two side by side at the same dyno:

Yours is quite low ian because your intake temp was 26 which is high.PORTHOS said:No idea what it all means! :lol:Marpol said:
But here is mine from the weekend out of interest 8)
Yes mate, I was pleased with the 198.6 in the warmer conditions because the 197 was in much cooler conditions.coyote_dc5 said:
I rekon I have made 5-6bhp with getting the valve clearances done and running shell v-power.
I predicted the increases here:

From what I can remember a standard FN2 with K&N panel filter made 208bhpStuart_M said:
Another FN2 with HKS filter & cat back exhaust made 215bhp
An EP3 with AEM short ram filter, de-cat and cat back exhaust made 215bhp
These were all without any kpro/flashpro from what i remember

An average ep3 will make 190 so with an exhaust and cai the dyno gives the ep3 25 bhp 
lulz.
I'm banning myself from this thread!
I'll end by saying I'll take anyone out who thinks that they have 225 + with exhaust and cai and see if my 235/237 only feels like 10 bhp more!

To be honest I only started this thread as its the first time the car had been on the rollers, just joining in the fun at a rolling road day and I was only sharing the figures I got, not bragging or trying to justify the power it made.
From peoples responses the figure I got is high compared to what a standard DC5 realistically produces and I accept that, thats what the forums all about sharing knowledge as i honestly dont know that much about rolling roads or expected figures.
End of the day as long as it drives well (which it does) im happy

Interesting figures, reason I asked was to see what the like for like difference was between K20/A on the same day and dyno (dont think anyone could argue with that!) so power outputs are irrelevant whether there right or wrong.The FN2s seem quite healthy tho and not 'that' far away BHP wise from your DC5 with pretty basic mods which I wouldnt have expected. Maybe there not so tame after allMarpol said:
Sure no one taken your thread out of context mate,they always have similar talking points,tdi's alleged optimistic rolling road has already been done a few times so its no real surprise,rr days are a bit of fun really like you say,they probably just get a bit more serious for the guys who have spent good money on the heavy mods which is understandable

This thread is pretty much what happened to me with my first time on the rollers, except apparently my BHP was too low for some people :lol:
It's a learning experience, but like you say, I have learned lots from people on here, normally the people with the more positive comments are the most knowledgeable.
No one is ever going to win this argument.
Everyone has their own thoughts.
I argree each car will be different and not every k20 will put out the same power.
As speaking to a Honda tuner in Scotland - Henry. He says it also depends how they are run in etc.
Explain this one. My brothers lightweight Jdm ep3. Made 228bhp at the fly.
Mods are stage 1 clutch, lightened flywheel. Spoon 5.1 fd. Spoon drop in filter when it got dyno'd.
It was a rolling road day so there was a few other honda's on that day. Uk Ctr with spoon mani, spoon b pipe, custom backbox, k&n typhoon intake. Made 212 bhp.
Another with full exhaust, dc sports mani, group m, k100.
211bho. Waant mapped but the car it cane from had similar mods.
