[BiturboS4] dyno results

[Ian Duff]

The dyno operator should have been able to do coast-down driveline drag
measurements and tell you pretty accurately what these numbers are on your
car. Anecdotally, somewhere closer to 25% has been reported by Euro tuners
like MTM on the I5 cars developing somewhat more hp, but with similar
driveline. In the elusive search for accurate non-interpreted/raw data, your
reporting of at-the-wheels results, along with altitude and temp is pretty
close to raw. The only thing missing is barometric pressure to allow for
atmoshperic correction, but that'd be splitting hairs <g>.

In what format is the raw data? Text file? CSV? Proprietary? Did you look at
the Dynojet site to see what they recommend as a reader?

Good job, and thanks for posting raw results.

I took my car down to ATP (www.atpturbo.com[1]) in Fremont, CA for a dyno
run
last night. The guys were nice and it was a fun time recording my car.

So, I did two runs with my GIAC-X chip and then two runs with the stock
chip.
We let the car cool down for about 5 minutes in between runs (had the fans
going too). Air temps were about 68 degrees.  Altitude about sea level.
Gasoline was the crappy 91 octane from the pump. I only took two runs of
each
due to my tight  budget :)  Anyway, results were about 260hp/316lbs measured
at the wheels for the GIAC runs.  Does this sound about right?  Stock was
about 204hp/242lbs torque.  See my signature for mods. I have the raw data
and
also dynograph for anyone that is interested (I didn't want to upload a
graph
to the group - is that allowed?).

How do I get crank hp?  I was reading AudiWorld and it doesn't seem like
there
is a set number.  Is 18-20% commonly accepted for our cars?  The dyno was a
DynoJet 248C (with 4WD option).

Lastly, anyone know where I can get software to view the raw data? It would
be
nice to take a look.
