:err: Max Horse Power at 222.9Is this your FX45 on the Dyno or is it a 35?

It's Overthetop's 2003 Infiniti FX45. That's what I said when I first saw it.
*DISCLAIMER* I have no experience reading dyno's so I'll wait for experts to chime in.
All I could do is use the internet and did a quick google and found this:
315 hp at the crank
15% * 315 hp = 47.25 hp loss at the wheels (RWD)
(15%+15%) * 315 hp = 94.5 hp loss at the wheels (AWD)
RWD 267.75 hp
AWD 220.5 hp
Clearly these are estimates and each car is different.

I have no other 45 dyno charts to compare this to, but the torque loss is disappointing. If the percentages loss at the wheels from the crank are correct then the numbers seem to add up. Still would have liked to see a few more runs for avg and a reset of the ecu. But still thanks to weaponR and Overthetop for their time and efforts.
Here is Kenny's FX45 dyno. Both of Overthetop's runs are less than Kenny's in HP and Torque:
Here is Dawn's FX35:

I am soo... sooo.... sooooo.. sooooooo.. Sad
What I can understand is that my socall 315 base HP FX45 is really a 222 HP guppie on the road..
This is F***t up

But thats advertising and reality all in one Humberto. Most all advertise CRANK HP and not real WHP. But if you look at its all relative as that how most all companies advertise HP. And NO the $% is no guppy! =)

This just helps me understand how much of a novice I am in reagards to these sebjects.
I then can assume that this "curve" (in my mind hp vs whp) is also relative to all Cars..
Don't feel so bad now...

to be fair you cant really compare different dynos...the numbers are just numbers. the conditions were different between both dynos, different cars, different locations, different dynos. you dont know if the other dyno chart from the stock FX45 (kenny) had the fuses pulled from the front and it was a RWD dyno, etc.
from the weapon r dynos, its not really important on the power its putting down, rather the power difference in the dynos between stock and with the weapon r intake. the weapon r intake loses TQ but gains HP.
one thing i dont get is why the "run time" is on the x-axis rather than the RPM

Sorry, to clarify I meant the two weapon*R dyno's. Base and intake.

I'm no expert on dyno's but I thought that myself. The other dyno's I have seen showed the rpm range on the bottom instead of time. I'm sure there is a simple explanation for the but I was thinking the same as you brown.

Wow...thats pretty disappointing. i guess its an indication to stay away from Weapon R. its also a reminder that dynos can be deceiving...well all thought that dyno was with the intake on when in actuality the one with the most gains was stock.
