Torana on the dyno 94kW at the wheels

My little LJ 4 door on the dyno at an open dyno day on the weekend.

There would have been sound, but the microphone was being gaurded by a misplaced finger by the lovely person filming! (its ok, i forgive her)

Made 94kW at the wheels, running very rich in the upper revs. Should crack 100kW with a better set of needles.

Engine was built for under 2grand.
Only a "baby" camshaft, stage 3 head, triple carbs and extractors+exhaust.

202, say 15-20% driveline loss, and its around 115ish at the flywheel which is roughly 155hp at the fly.

The cam was just a custom grind, run from about 2500 through to 4500, bugger all lift, only running like 8.5:1 compression, triple SUs on a bad tune.

Now running 10:1 compression, triple DCOE40s, 30/70 cam, ported stage 3 head and a few other fun bits.

Ive got a track torana to have the go fast bits, the orange one is just a fun cruiser with a bit of poke.

I'm guessin its a 161? 94kw is about 125hp in old money so I'm guessing the engines got about 140 hp at the flywheel. Not bad ... but I think you should easily get 1hp for every cube of displacement even with your 'baby' stage 3 head. I'd have a look at gas flowing it.. and the carbs as you mentioned. Good job though.

Why is a torana with 94rwkw being dynod? Looks nice at least.
