Turbo Miata Dyno Test

Administrator — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 20:09:00 +0000

Well I finally made it to the dyno! It was hot as heck (92 degrees inside the shop) but the car made a peak of 222.7hp and 247.0 ft-lbs corrected on 10psi and 93 octane gas. For whatever reason, the dyno operator couldn’t get a great rpm connection, so the graph is pretty choppy.

Overall, I’m pretty darn pleased given how simple this setup is. I’ve been driving it every day and it idles and runs exactly like a stock Miata until you put your foot into it. The icing on the cake is the fuel economy. I’ve gotten no less than 33 mpg on my last four tanks of gas!
