So me and a bunch of lads from work decided to go for a dyno day at a local tuners, we've been meaning to do it for a while but never quite got around to it.
We had a fair smattering of different cars, and the results we interesting to say the least.
First up an older Fn2 civic type R, it made 197 BHP on the nose, with the quoted torque figure.
Next a Focus ST mountune MR300, which made 257 BHP, with 452 NM of torque, the lad who drives it was a bit disappointed, as the MR300 is supposed to make 300 ish.
Next, and the is one was a shock, a pre facelift mk7 golf R, only had the snow grate and the air intake modded, as in cut out, not an after market, it made 339 BHP and 436 NM, i was a little suspicious at this point so we did it again, and sure enough it made the same power.
Next my 8V S3 facelift which made 311 BHP and 424 NM of torque, torque was up from quoted, but the power was pretty much where is should be.
Next a facelift mk7 Golf R, which made 326 BHP and 425 NM, again this is over stock, so we ran it again and the same results.
Lastly a BMW m135I which made 321 BHP and 417 NM, which is pretty damn close to what BMW quotes.
in conclusion, the snow grate removal and air intake mod looks like it does make a difference, as non of these cars have been remapped, and i thought that Golf R was rapid when i was in it, but that's a lot over stock.
I have all the dyno print outs if any one is interested.
