I Dyno'ed my LX450 (1 Viewer)

[wizmariefa]

A whopping 124 awhp! Completely stock, just wanted a number for before/after we do a turbo (or two, if we can figure it out) in the next few years.
Video, if any of you gals & guys want to waste a minute of your life watching the least exciting dyno video ever:

Nice! Mine made 121hp at 5600' altitude with 315k or so miles on it

 

[wizmariefa]

We're right about 4500ft elevation here, mine has right around 230k on the clock.
I followed up my friend's 2004 golf r32 build that made 510hp. Nobody else wanted to go after her, figured I'd lower the bar a bit for them haha

But how much torque!? Mind sharing your curves? It would be fun to compare gas to diesel number too.

 

[wizmariefa]

I didn't actually take a picture It was a small event and they didn't do print-outs for anyone, kicking myself for not taking a picture of the graph. I plan on doing it again closer to turbo time to get accurate before/after numbers for comparison

Good idea. Then you can compare curves and see the difference at every RPM. I bet the turbo will give you a lot of torque too.

It surprises me how low the HP numbers are, and I'm sure mine are about the same. It surprises me because my LX450, while not quick, doesn't feel like it's putting down only 124 hp. (though it's probably not far off, at 330k) I guess seat of the pants feel is really what matters to me. It does better than my 98 hp Geo Tracker did on the highway, and so it feels powerful (haha). Even if it's really not that much better. Thanks for sharing your results!

Smokin'! lol

I wouldn't have the gumption to put mine on a dyno.
BUT that torque bump in/around 3k on yours...
...I actually feel that on mine. Well, the few times I've braved venturing beyond 3krpms.
Good to know there's nothing worth seeing after 4krpms. That'll keep me from bothering during those times of ill-advised daring.

you going to use the wits end turbo kit or make your own setup

Lol @ 124 HP. I guess racing her for pink slips is out of the question.

My Challenger reports 48 HP ( or something ridiculously low) on a flat road doing 70 MPH even though there’s 450 HP+ on tap.

Honestly, I don’t know. Turbo is going to be a while out still, I have more of the offroad/creature comfort parts of my “build” to do first. Since I watched the thread on the that 30psi turbo 1fz in the dunes video, right now I'd say I'll DIY it and make all the powa and spooly noises. There's not a ton out there that I've found so far on it though, so really, I don't know Depends on how much money I have for it I guess.

Look how excited these guys are about the outcome!

"wow yay another 'enthusiast' with a well-worked 23 year old sled. cant wait for these ground breaking numbers, oh joy"

I was waiting for it to make a pull... Did it ever accelerate?

Floor mat lodged under gas pedal?

hey, it tried its hardest.... which isn’t saying much, but it was the best it could do
