Advertised STANDARD Power of 147kW yet the vehicle only achieves 105kW at the wheels on a dyno.
FACT: - ALL ‘Claimed’ manufacturers engine power specifications are measured at the engines crankshaft. Note the Key Word ‘Claimed’. These ‘Claimed’ manufacturers’ specifications are never checked or questioned by any Government authority or Independent group. The engine power specifications listed here by DPCHIP are ‘converted or calculated’ figures and are to be used as a guide to the power gains you will get from installing a DPCHIP. Simply put; to make figures comparative, given that the manufacturer only offers crankshaft power and DPCHIP measure only power at the wheels, DPCHIP have calculated wheel power back to a ‘comparative’ crankshaft power.Be sure you don’t confuse the figures you see here with what you achieve on a dyno. There are many variables in the way a dyno calculates power and there are further variables such as tyre size and transmission type. Larger diameter tyres not only drastically effect fuel economy but also absorb power. Automatic transmissions make dyno results hard to read as there is no ‘solid’ connection to the wheels like found in a manual transmission.
It is up to your skilled Dyno Tuning Professional to test the vehicle thoroughly and accurately. Don’t settle for 1 or 2 dyno runs as this will not be a fair and accurate result. Most reputable dyno shops will perform multiple dyno runs so as to achieve a reliable repeatable average of runs. This will allow them to sort through and pick out the runs that can be best used to describe the vehicles dyno results. Remember that to the untrained person a dyno graph can be like reading and trying to understand your health check blood results.
Make sure you ask questions and that your dyno operator ‘translates’ your dyno results into information you can understand.
Know before you buy
Before you add to your engine
Catch cans, pre-filters, breathers and throttle controllers are made for specific engines. Here's what to check so the part suits yours.
- Made for your engine
These parts are engine specific, often down to the engine code and build date. Check the listing's fitment against your vehicle.
- What it actually does
A catch can collects oil mist from the engine's breather before it reaches the intake. A pre-filter catches fuel contaminants before the factory filter. A throttle controller changes how the accelerator pedal responds.
- Emissions
VicRoads' general approvals cover most electrical work, but not changes that affect emissions or safety systems (VSI 8). Anything that changes how the engine runs needs that check.
- Servicing
Catch cans need draining and filters need changing on a schedule. Check the maker's service interval before you buy.
Common questions
Does a throttle controller add power?
No. It changes how quickly the engine responds to the accelerator pedal, not the engine's output.
Does a catch can need maintenance?
Yes. The collected oil has to be drained regularly; the maker's instructions give the interval.
Will a performance chip affect my registration?
VicRoads' general approvals don't cover changes that affect emissions (VSI 8). Check how any engine change is approved before fitting it.
