Hey guys... just dynoed my lancer tonight. all I have is 2.25" cat back Magnaflow exhaust and an intake as far as engine mods.

I'll have exact numbers and graphs for you soon but my Lancer pulled 91 hp. The curves look very very nice. For comparison a stock Mazda Protege MP3 which is rated for 140 hp versus our rated 120 hp pulled 96 hp.

This was Mustang dyno, not a Dynojet. So the numbers will show about 10% lower than what a Dynojet would.

I ran a simulated quarter mile time as well which I should have to show you when I get the files tomorrow. I had a 2.42 second 60' on my second try... but do not remember my time.

I'll have curves and specific numbers for you guys tomorrow.

Other numbers for comparison:
Japanese Type R VTEC swapped Civic - 155 hp
Ford T-Bird 4.6L 157 hp

Hope this is of some use for baselines for you guys!

Later.

P.S. hp was SAE corrected with a factor of .959

 

Man that is freakin' sad! I gotta get an EVO.

 

I wouldn't be so quick to say that it is horribly sad. Keep in mind that two engines that were rated for OVER 200 hp ran right around 150 hp. 60 over the Lancer.. which is rated for more than 80 less than these guys.

Also keep in mind that civics and others that are typically compared against the Lancer are running 75 -85 hp on this dyno. So not so sad in my opinion. You can't expect 100's of horsepower from a 14,000 car.

 

Ive gotten on my soap box before and Ill do it again. If you bought the regular US Lancer to be fast out of the box bone stock, you got the wrong car.

I agree sdhotwn, not bad numbers.

 

I had mine done about 2 weeks ago. I posted under general and the thread is HP, free dyno. Is it a standard or auto,Was that a 3 or 4 gear pull. What kind of dyno. I have intake header test pipe and exhaust. My peak horse was 109 and trq. was 114

 

5 speed doing a 3rd gear pull from 2,000 rpms to 6100. Our hp curve is nice and flat and goes higher and higher all the way to rev limiter.

 

Here is my third gear pull.

 

graph looks about right..notice how the HP was flattening out at revlimit? Get the ECU reflash and your curve won't flatten like that...good stuff though. If anyone is interested www.calslam.net is holding a Dyno day in Oakdale, CA. Check out the site for details. Performance Dyno will also give you a wideband O2 reading.

 

I dyno'd my Lancer sans boost or FMU @ Performance Dyno Tuning and got 149whp at 114 mph. That was just one pull.

Here's a pic of PDT's shop... well that's only one of two dynometers, actually:

 

Anyone know what a Dodge stratus HP is? I was .....ahem...racing one on the freeway and he couldn't pass me or even match my acceleration from 60mph up. It was an ES stratus...doesn't that have a V6?

 

Yeah I'll jump right on signing up for another dyno day after I just dynoed.. ANNNNNDDDD I'd have to drive to California from Wisconsin...

Please keep this thread relative to the topic at hand... what a stock Lancer puts out.

 

150 or 200 hp depending on the trim level. Most of the sedans are 200 hp...

 

Alright so who's been shifting before redline when racing again?

 

The quarter mile simulation so you can see gear ratios (based on the torque ratios... knowing what the peak torque is in 3rd which is nearly 1:1.. then you can go from there)

I was a little surprised by the car coming up on the rollers after the launch in 1st gear... so I didn't shift right away for 2nd gear.. which you can see... and I was over revving the engine between gears by holding down the gas part way during shift..so the spikes are the extra torque as the clutch put the torque from the higher rpms out to the wheels before being matched...

The total 1/4 mile time was like 17.2 or 17.5... I know I beat 17.7.. and considering that the "stock 1/4" time is 18.6 that's respectable I think.

Here you go:

 

Hey nice job with all the info and dyno posts, for a 120 hp car its really pretty decent. 24% loss from engine to the wheels but if you add that 10% back for a dyno jet... 14% loss really isn't bad at all. Good thing our car's aren't rwd!
