Standard 20VT dyno figures? - 05/07/2023 12:43
Hi all,
Just had my 1998 20VT on the dyno for a quick power run to see how it's doing - I only bought it last week and I was interested to see how it's running.
It's got a 2.5 inch turbo back exhaust with no cat, an AEM dryflow filter, a FMIC and an Apexi AVC-R boost controller. I was intrigued as to power figures as in 1st and 2nd gear, I hit 1.0 bar according to the boost controller, so my theory was that it's been mapped / chipped.
On the dyno it made 206.9hp with 279nm of torque, so that confirms it's standard. Not bad for a 25 year old car. But then, why would it have no boost restriction in 1st and 2nd if it's not been remapped? Hmm.
What sort of power do these make on a dyno as 'standard', and is a 10hp loss to be expected with these? I presumed that with a decat and a big FMIC I could get a bit more power, but I guess not. Also, what sort of modifications would I need to do to get this to hit say 250hp (that's a nice round number I'd like to aim for as a target)?
