I don't have the resources, time, or desire to do that right now. Sorry.
Need to focus on the turbo install. =/

What was the baseline figure before the standalone was fitted?....figures don`t really mean much without it.

Dont forget the UK 10:1's usually have 150 at the crank, so 9.5:1, stock to give 150 at the wheels is pretty good.

I was under the impression that the stock USDM SR20DE output was well documented. As far as I knew, they achieve anywhere from 112 - 132 WHP depending on the typical variables (engine condition, weather, dyno, etc.).

It so happens that my brother owns a stock '94 classic (same year as mine). I use it as a benchmark in my tuning all the time. I'll be doing a 2nd gear pull against it soon and I'll be able to post a video of that.*

I could always take his car to the dyno, which I'm curious to do as well. Would that work as a good baseline, or would you prefer it be the exact same car?

* Edit - The video is in:

That's 150 WHP and 129 WTQ if you missed it.

as far as i've read the up in hp is obvious... as you posted your dyno sheet you can read 150whp... thats WHP!... as you posted lastly... the documented power for a stock engine independently of its condition is anywhere between 112-132whp!... so your win in HP is a result of engine management... anyways could you take it to the dyno and turn the VEMS off? then on and compare? or isn't that posible, just an idea....

The VEMS is a standalone engine management, you can't turn your ems on and off. The car won't run. It is all wired and setup for VEMS, can't just stick a stock ecu on it now and run it.

Id be more concerned with how much torque you can pull out of it!

Torque wins races - HP sells cars
