today i got my car dyno'ed from Dyno Spot Racing up in mountain view...the person who dyno'ed my car said i had a very good prelude for almost stock...he told me that waz the highest numbers he's seen for a prelude that is almost stock...i have a maxspeed muffler, aem intake, aem pulley's....dyno'ed my car twice and here is the first result, 176.6hp, 139.2lbs torque....when i got these results i thought they were fukn with me and they were hella surprised too...so they did another dyno run, buh bfore they did it, they reset my ecu and the second results came to b 178.8hp and 140.6... sorry i don have a scanner to scan it up buh i'll borrow my friendz scanner soon and scan it up...buh does this seem strange at all??? i mean, im still thinkn they fuked up, buh 2 of my friendz have preludes both stick and my car seems faster and one of my friend who owns one of the prelude has i/h/e/p/vafc, lightened flywheel and a new clutch, buh everytime i race him i alwayz beat him, buh thass onli bcauz he sucks...buh his car does seem alil slower than mine...what yall think?
i've read that stock ludes get around 160-165 whp, if you got that, omfg, YES its strange, maybe its one of those freak-better-than-others factory engines lucky ass
was the car used or new when you bought it? maybe theres some engine work that you cant see if its used? i duno....but how much did the dyno cost? i wana do mine too and im from the bay. scan the charts when possible!

My understanding is that DSR is presently not doing any tuning right now. They are preparing to move to a new location. I'm actually surprised to here that they are still doing baselines, from what they had told me they were not running the dyno at all. Hrmph.
I had my 2k1 black SH tuned at DSR after i bought my VAFC had AEM CAI/DC header/Greddy SP stock SH rims and got about 175.7hp at the wheels and 140.4lbft of tq I now have pulleys too. Two questions to the guy that ran 176/8 on his lude, do you have a base model?/ What kind of rim tre setup are you running??
How does a stock engine have diff powers than other stocks?
I understand that you can not build an engine exactly like that the last one. So is that the reason why some baseline powers are different then others. Is there an actual way to increase the chances of a stronger baseline power? Like breaking in more properly? Or is it mainly due to the luck of the lude owner? Ive always wanted to dyno mine (AEM CAI, Thermal R&D, AEM pullies)

Does anyone know what the STOCK 5G SS lude would dyno at? The average for 5sp ludes are about 160-165 right? I'm guessing the SS would be a bit lower cause of the auto tranny?
i have a 2000 base model with regular stock rims. nothin realli special yet buh i did get a custom 2.5 exhaust piping, dc headers, aem cam gears and a apexi vafc buh i haven't got around to installin them and tuning it yet...

truthfully 178whp isn't that surprising, mainly because of the VAFC. I have a dyno plot in front of me, and he's running a DC Sports Header, Tanabe DTM Exhaust, AEM Short Ram, Pulleys and a VAFC and surprising enough he laid down 178.2hp, and 138.5lb.ft. torque.
the vafc is good from a steady 8whp up top, and it will show amazing results if you lower vtec engagement point and compensate for the unmatched fuel correction. for an increment of about 1500 RPMs you'll see an increase of about 35whp. just picture a level hp line, as apposed to that almost vertical spike when vtec engaged before.
BTW, sorry about the post above, at first i didn't read into it enough so i was wondering why you mentioned being a good driver when he was talking about dynoing his car. i see the racing part now.

one of the sponsors lude's on the board...TurboEVO dynoed his 97-99 base SS lude at 148 hp to the wheel hope that helps
Originally posted by PearlH22Gen5 truthfully 178whp isn't that surprising, mainly because of the VAFC.
He didn't say he had a VAFC, he says he has "maxspeed muffler, aem intake, aem pulley's". I would like to see what gear the runs where done in and if numbers are SAE or not.

I doubt they are SAE. You know what's insane? I made 189 "actual" whp with just I/H/E! SAE was noticably less.

5spd dynos = 153-155? i don't think so, try 160-165. or did you mean, ss dynos are usually 153-155?
