DDMotorsports Shop 370Z Baseline Dyno - UGLY Torque Curve

M.Bonanni · 01-23-2009, 07:39 PM

Took the shop 370Z down to get a baseline dyno while it is still stock. Numbers are 285.46whp and 243.40wtq (ignore the max torque number on the chart as it is inflated due to spikes).

Anyways, I was just as shocked as you probably are to see such an ugly and scary torque curve. This car is 100% stock and I am hoping that its just a bad batch of gas. Discuss.

Yikes!!! Tune tune tune!!!!

That doesn't seem right. How is the HP curve so smooth if the Tq curve is so jagged? Considering HP is just a calculation of Tq?

Thats what boggles me too. Think its a software glitch?

^^^ Yes.

They had a 750whp Mustang on the dyno right before me and it was reading just fine. Go figure...

Something is not right, I've never seen one like that.

435 torque, yeaaaaa!

shumby · 01-23-2009, 09:50 PM

ya I say sensor glitch in your dyno. The curve looks right if you through out the spikes.

Lug · 01-23-2009, 09:56 PM

I also don't see how the HP could be so steady while the torque jumped all over the place like that.

On a dynojet from another thread..

Numbers are close if you leave ou the spikes on yours.

Tooooooo ugly to be right

Namir · 01-23-2009, 11:26 PM

I'm gonna go ahead and say something's not right with that curve......

re dyno?

AK370Z · 01-23-2009, 11:39 PM

Nice numbers

. But as many suggested, redyno it. Run a full tank of 93 premium and then dyno may be? BTW, your 370Z is the best looking out of all (injected and GTM). I am a biggest Silver fanboi. Silver > ALL > White > Yellow.

When can we expect a video?

Skaterbasist · 01-23-2009, 11:46 PM

Nothing is wrong with the car. What needs fixing is the dyno (most likely a software issue)

Through some VP16 in that bad boy!!

Agreed Skaterbasist, the dyno itself looks to been erroring. I would have expected several pulls to be overlaid to show tolerance instead of one magic pull [or in this case, poor data pull]. If we ignore the spikes in the data, the torque curve looks fantastic; ruler flat and very good numbers in regard to rated engine output.

--->DDM; do you have the rest of the pulls that you did? Also, if that's not your dyno, they owe you clean error-free pulls! Also, did you do any datalogging to observe engine operation beyond roller numbers? Ignition timing, MAF, AFR, EGT, IAT, ECT, etc.?
