A mate got a new Dyno Dynamics 4WD dyno installed in his shop, and wanted me to take my car over to try it out to get some "practice" on auto dyno-ing.

It came out as 333BHP and 348lb/ft. The BHP figure is actually quite good I think - the manufacturer spec is 342BHP and it's almost 8 years old, and there will be some loss through torque conversion. However the torque number is a lot lower - 378lb/ft is the spec figure.

The noise of that engine in an enclosed space is absolutely deafening though:o.

Anyone else on M113 engines that have done tests on them? I was honestly expecting around the 300BHP mark as I am skeptical of stated figures and the car is old (well serviced, but old).
 
the car may be old but those engines are solid .. the bhp figures show no real performance deterioration due to age.
