Prado on Dyno

Hi guys, I just bought a Prado 04 3l TDI, after changing all the filters and oils it ran a bit better but It felt a bit gutless on the weeknd with the family driving up Mt Tamborine. I went to a 4wd dyno to get it tested and here are the results. Is this normal ?? Thanks

Dyno

Very interesting...was the 49kw total for front and rear on a 4wd dyno ?

Cheers

Re: Prado on Dyno

Maybe you should look at getting a badge fitted like you see on the back of HSV commodores 307kw
badge 49kw
it would look impressive!

Re: Prado on Dyno

not sure about the average dyno run will produce but here is what joey got out of his, he is running beaudesert exhaust and has chip and increased,
this is from his buildup thread.

well today i took the rig down to Lee Holmans special vehichle service for a run on the dyno..and a tweak or 2..

i was amazed at the difference from standard....

kw at the wheels...88kw...(thats with the stt's).....

torque ...520 N.M

motive force.....4977.5 N

running at 14.7 p.s.i

my rig standard is only 97kw at the fly wheel.....and torque is 370 .n.m

so as the stats say a massive increase in power.....
and it feels better 2..

we adjusted the chip and the fuel to air mix is better...

well i am happy as...

Re: Prado on Dyno

You're a little down on power, but it depends on a lot of varibles (KM, Condition, dyno and operator... etc etc)

I'd expect mid to high 50kw range at all four wheels for a stocker.

Here's a sheet for a 1kz, auto box, no mods, no snorkel: 57kw peak.

Re: Prado on Dyno

that will be at all 4 wheels not at the fly wheels all these motors come with 97kw at the fly
ive got a 04 prado as well and its not the fastest on the road after having a 200kw atw wrx :lol: : and that was a beast
i will put my prado on the dyno in the next week or two and see what i get its only got a uni fillter

Re: Prado on Dyno

Just curious MickL, what gear was the dyno run it? It looks like maybe 2nd? If so do you know if a test be done in 3rd where the gearbox will lockup & do you know if that will make much difference to the graph?

Definitely shows the power drop off with this engine....

My 2003 grande td got 69.3kw the only mod its got done to it is a rapid chip this might give you a bit of a comparison.
