222hp DOHC overrated? - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

ewang9394 · 08-23-2007, 02:18 AM

So how much HP does the crank really have? How much HP is being laid down? I'm talking about DOHC 5spd.

I think 222hp is bullshit.

222 hp should be about right. most of the dohc dyno at around 170-180 whp stock so....

Damn that's a lot of drivetrain loss. The wheels are right under the engine so I would assume rwd cars actually have more drivetrain loss.

yeah it would seem that way... i have a sohc that is lightly modded and i can run with the dohcs around time so...

i've got a DOCH with 163k miles on it and if you don't got a fat guy sittin right next to you i think saying that this has anything shy of 222 hp is an insult.

...i obviously did not mean to the wheels

PSnewbie · 08-24-2007, 02:40 PM

i put a decal on my SOHC and that gave me at least +20hp at the wheels. J/k

actually by today's standards the 222 is avg. but putting 180-190 down after drive train loss doesn't surprise me at all. but that's just my opinion. no flames please.

TheGreenGoblin · 08-24-2007, 02:44 PM

does anyone kno what the SOHC puts down the wheels?

PSnewbie · 08-24-2007, 03:39 PM

well lets see 180-190/222= .83 which is about 17% loss sooooo
an SOHC with about 160hp (i think, i've heard 180 also, but 160 I've heard more) times .83= about 133hp at the wheels.

That's my theory what numbers did anyone else get?
