Post your dyno results

[whitestang04gt]

Searched but really didn't see any dyno results. Was wondering if people could post there dyno results of there Explorers/Mountaineers with 4.6L Engines & there modifications, stock and/or tuned.

I was pretty much meaning 2wd/rwd

AWD + Dyno = ugh

Yup... and most shops don't wanna invest in a 4 wheel dyno.

Even with a 4wd dyno I hear the AWD doesn't really act right

Really? never heard that...
Never had problems with the subaru I had on the dyno a few years ago.
You could very well be right though, I just haven't run into any problems.

was it 50/50 front to rear? the awd mountaineer is like a 35/65, from my understanding is the problem

Yeah, I can see that being a problem, I guess if they had a dyno that didn't even measure the front roller, and it just rolled freely, it might be alright for an offset power situation...

Yeah, but then your reading is going to be off because of the 35% constant power at the front tires. a 4 wheel dyno would be great if Ford tossed in an AWD locker so you could do 50/50.

That's what the BWM is for - 2WD dyno FTW! I think mine was 124rwkw on petrol, and 121 rwkw on LPG (That's around 161rwhp)

BWM + Dyno = equivalent of a BWM burn out; not good for the cluthes on the T-Case.

not to mention the BWM doesnt work for AWD

Do the AWD V8's have an option for locked 4 hi? If so couldn't you run the 4 wheel dyno in 4 hi?

there's an AWD Lock Lamp on my instrument cluster, but I do not know if it's just a dummy lamp like the AdvanceTrac lamp, or if there is some way I can lock it in.

im going to try to do a dyno in the next couple of weeks so ill let you know what i get

 

[Sams01XplrSprt]

my friend jason has a 04 toyota corolla s and he got it dyno'd 3 weeks ago and he was real pissed off when they dyno'd his car.

His had 99 hp and 105 lbs of torque and he put an exhaust and an cold air intake so far in his corolla and he told them to dyno it 3 times and it still came up the same results. He was hella pissed off and hella embarrased as well cause there were other cars that had more hp then him.

I was laughing when he got 99 hp out of a 04 corolla s. Anyways he told everyone that dyno might be wrong he says he thinks he is pushing out more hp then 99. He told everyone he thinks he should be pushing out like 120 or 130 hp in it.

But i dunno.

Sure, he is pushing 120 or 130 at the engine, but take into account for drag in the transmission, axles, bearings, tires and you get about 99 hp at the wheels which is where the dyno measures is it not. I used to know the general conversion for RWD vehicles to guestimate the HP at the engine (number that the dealership stickers give you when you look at the engine specs) based on the HP measured at the wheels.

BWM doesn't work on the AWD version, there are not switches its done with a viscous clutch in the transfer case. 1 reason I'm converting to 2wd.

Wow, that seems really, really low. almost 100 hp loss to the wheels, should be around 215-230rwhp, what kind of dyno were you on. Maybe its the loss through the transfer case? Were you in 4th gear automatic 1:1 ratio?
