Dyno Master Thread

So I'd made a dyno thread on the Sonic Owners and it's gone over very well. Thought one over here would be useful as well. I'll be working on finding and collecting all the dyno postings on here and once I get most of them rounded up I'll organize the results and post them, although any help with that will be appreciated.

I'll also be combining the Cruze results with the Sonic results so there's a greater depth of results and modification variations.

Minimum requirements: Username/company, Year & model (11 Cruze LS, 14 Cruze ECO,etc), Engine (1.8, 1.4t, 1.6T, 1.6, Diesel), Transmission (AT or MT), HP and torque, Octane, and Modifications at the time of the run.

Recommended additions: Dyno used (dynojet, Mustang, etc), Dyno format (Std, uncorrected, corrected) Temp/Atmospheric conditions

Mandatory Requirements for "Official Rankings": A dyno chart is mandatory for official ranking. An asterik (**) will be next to submissions that do not include a dyno chart.

I'm going to keep the requirements lax for the time being, Lets keep submissions honest and not fudge our numbers to try and gain bragging rights, it will only detract the value of this thread.


Also keep in mind that dyno numbers can and will vary based on factors such as ambient temp, humidity, number of pulls, type of dyno (or even between 1 dyno and another "identical" dyno at another shop), correction/format style, etc, and obviously what's been modified.
While the results are useful be aware that simply comparing two dyno sheets may not be as telling as appearances would have you believe because of the aforementioned variables.

Dynamometer Results
ATTN: If you're dyno'ing a turbo'd engine make sure the dyno operator has the correction set for SAE J1349 , this is for turbocharged engines. If the other standard is used results will read high (courtesy of Brian from VTuners).

This will be all the results people have gotten on a chassis dyno. Since I've already got the Sonic's done I'll include them now and add the CT results as I get time.

PID Results

For those that don't know PIDs are the HP/TQ that the ECM calculates off the engine. They've been reported to be very accurate albeit it is a measurement of crankshaft power and not wheel power like a typical dyno. As such the numbers should be higher than the dyno results.

Theoretically the PIDs should be about 15% higher versus a dyno, to be frank I'm not certain this is the case with GMs torque calculation, i have a hunch they are much closer than that.

Lil update. I've got a few Cruze's added, I'll rearrange the rankings and polish the format once I get all postings. Its slow going without internet at home, I'd tried opening all the threads with postings in different tabs and taking the laptop home to finish offline............. My computer crashed when I woke it up to put everything in here, to much awesome to handle I guess lol. Now its just a few at a time.



On that note if your names not in here then feel free to post a link to your thread or post the graph and your mods, it'd help immensely.

Or if you have updated results from what I've got posted or the mods I show listed aren't right then get me the up to date/correct info. Alot of the threads I've found are quite old so I'm sure a few of you guys have some updates.

What color wire did you guys use for the tach signal for trq reading?

Sorry, I forgot that part!

Just a simple drop in K&N air filter, and a Pro-Tune (via HPTuners) by a local GM tuner who knows what he's doing ;)

So when these guys step up and take these offerings from BNR are you going to replace the Engine when IT pops ...Yeah Explodes ...GM won't !
