so i have a 96 si prelude and when i dynoed it i only got 127 hp i was wondering what other people got when they dynoed theres. its stock with an intake.

so is that a normal number or do you think its low. input would be great.

That's very low. Stock Sis generally dyno mid to high 130s stock.

Did you dyno it with those wheels you have in your signature on? Those look huge and probably are heavy.

homie_hoges · 05-10-2005, 04:12 PM

ya it was with those wheels. do you think that would make that much difference??

homie_hoges · 05-10-2005, 10:24 PM

so no one has any dynos of a mostly stock 2.3

If you had done a search, you might notice the sticky on top of the NA forum of people's dynos. There are several H23s in there. You are low, but not unbelievably low. As was already said, most people dyno around 135-140.

homie_hoges · 05-11-2005, 03:59 PM

so what might be some of the things that could cause them to be low

Bigger heavier wheels could definatley cause some of it. Most people don't race with 18 or 19 inch rims for a reason.
I would also consider giving your engine a tune up if it hasn't been done for a while. Spark Plugs, ignition wires, change oil, transmistion oil, radiator fluid etc. that might help gain back a few hp.

i thought the people with 130-140 whp had i/h/e... maybe cause ur stock... you actually got the right power...

Nope. Stock is mid to high 130s. I/H/E Is usually high 140s-150s.

i have a 92 prelude S with JDM H22A swap, ACT stage 1 clutch, everything else stock, dynoed 147whp on a traveling dyno (which was said to be 5-20hp off) but i still think that is VERY low for what it should be getting considering the JDM H22A is supposed to have 195 to the flywheel. i think it's my stock intake and stock base model S header back that is restricting it. comments?

What are your cylinder compression numbers?

homie_hoges · 05-12-2005, 12:04 PM

well i havent checked that yet, but i keep thinking to my self that i should.

the numbers i pulled were on a traveling dyno to, so maybe thats some of the problem.

anyways on the tune up the plugs were changed like 5 to 6 thousand miles ago and i just had the timeing belt, water pump, and ballencer belt replaced. but im not sure on the cap and roter. and the wires havent been changed.

homie_hoges · 05-13-2005, 01:27 PM

so i did a compression test and the numbers came out to be 1-177, 2-177, 3-178, 4-181. are those normal?
