The main difference between the dynos in my opinion is the fact they are different brands. Dyno dynamics read low...very similar to mustangs. On a dyno dynamics I got 167hp with ecutek stage 1. Other cars were getting 155 to 160 stock.... And theses were MTs. Its pretty easy for a AT to get ten HP less that a MT....I figure in ptunings dyno a AT would get around 150hp....still looking for proof on that one though.
As far as my highest results....I'm running the same tune of everyone else....and shivs OTS tune is stronger than the custom tune that I got from BRZedit.
Looking forward to @ Shiv@Openflash to try out the new tq300 that I have. Double the boost at redline makes a big difference when it's non parasitic. |
You can't say that Dyno Dynamics read low without also saying that they can also read high. It all depends on the operator. Dyno Dynamics has a "comparison mode" that is supposed to read Dynojet equivalent numbers. From what I've seen it is close but actually higher than a real Dynojet. This is why every N/A 86 that has exceeded 200 whp on pump gas to date has done so on a Dyno Dynamics. One guy even hit 206 whp by removing the weather correction.The same configurations are only reaching 195 whp on un-cheatable Dynojets.
This thread is full of Dyno Dynamics results displayed in the higher reading "comparison mode" with the possible exception of VR46. It would be nice to hear from PTuning as to what mode they used to display his results. I would guess that they used normal mode since his whp result is lower than typical for N/A on e85. This means that my dyno is not a good baseline unless some correction is factored in and then it all becomes guesswork with very questionable results.
As for the custom tuning I was referring to the results obtained by Shiv after custom tuning, not yours. Anyway, if nothing else, I suppose the message we could take away from this is to always take Dyno Dynamics numbers with a large grain of salt.
