I think it would be good if we could have someone post dyno sheets for various stock rotaries for comparison purposes. That way, it would be possible to see how different mods affect the performance.



Naturally, I think the dyno sheet everyone would like to see first, is the one for the stock Turbo II

If someone has access to a free dyno why not, but who would pay to put a stock engine on a dyno? I would volunteer my N/A for a dyno run, why the hell not!

that would be nice but like rob said most people with bone stock cars don't care....

Well, I understand all that, but surely, way back when this car was the ****, as in Motor Trend Import Car of the Year, some magazine ran a dyno test and published it. I was hoping that someone here knew where such information was available.

they are too cheap to dyno them haha

I have only seen a few rare occasions where cars were dyno'ed, and that was in Hot Rod when they dyno'ed the Camaro, Vette, and Trans Am, to prove they had the same engines, just that GM advertised the Vette as higher because it is thier flagship ( at least back then ), and another time Hot Rod dyno'ed cars to see how much HP they lost in the drivetrain compared to flywheel HP, I havent seen Motor Trend ever dyno a car in the 15+ years I have read the magazine, Im sure I missed a few editions, lol, but still never seen it. Motor Trend relies heavily on new car ads for thier advertising, so they dont want to blow up thier **** by putting the cars on a dyno and it maybe them not being what its advertised as. I estimate my N/a to be like.. hmmm 92 hp, lol

hehe. motor trend is good but they do avoid some things. they also never have a tuner war issue... everything is always stock... once a year they should focuz on modded cars

well does anyone have the original acceleration test #'s from those mags? I've heard a range of 14.8-15.5 for the 87 T2 when it came out and times varying from 15.5-16.5 for the NA's. I've never actually seen the orig articles or anything.

Is redline the best point to shift out of first and second gears on a stock TII or a little earlier?
