Mate, those figures are just way out of wack compared to what sort of power you should be recieving, Go to a different dyno place and do a re run see what you get this time. Mates of mine with alot more mods have alot less power then that WEIRD!

Definately sounds high for the mods, I believe you and the sheets there but I'm doubting that the motor is internally factory spec'd. Do you know if it's ever had a rebuild, maybe a few thou oversized pistons? Head shave a few times....etc. Would be interesting to see compression test results. Either way it's done it and I bet you've spent less than 1k.... Congrats Jake

Mates have had complete motor rebuilt aswell as cam, ecu chip, exhaust, extractors, cai, head port and polished and are getting 153.5 hp (not sure what its equvilent to in kws) .J oel i suggest get another dyno run taken at a different place you may actauly be getting that power and if you are keep hold of your car! ITS A FREAK

I think the dyno is out. No offense but it is an incrediably high figure for what you have done. Just a couple of questions joel: When u got the car dyno was it a really cold day? And how many runs did u have on that dyno?

It only had 3 runs according to the dyno sheet!!! sorry joel but i think that was someone elses car on there or your mechanic dodgied the dyno sheet, in order to keep you coming back their! Last time i got mine tuned it took around 17 runs, to make it perfect..
