Bruce Nunnally Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Do you have before/after dyno charts for the new air intake? Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenMachine Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Do you have before/after dyno charts for the new air intake? how did I know that intake would be called into question I am somewhat surprised/skeptical that on the V-Series cadillac wouldn't make that super effiecient from the start, especially since they are trying to get as much bang as they can from a 4.4L supercharged engine. Supercharges usually are able to suck all the air threw that they need since they simply just pump the compression up. Aids in getting more cold air maybe. Intresting. You guys are pretty tasteful in your fabrications, nothing to out of this world like the Hot Wheels looking civics, nicely done. The Green's Machines 1998 Deville - high mileage, keeps on going, custom cat-back exhaust 2003 Seville - stock low mileage goodness! 2004 Grand Prix GTP CompG - Smaller supercharger pulley, Ported Exhaust Manifolds, Dyno tune, etc 1998 Firebird Formula - 408 LQ9 Stroker motor swap and all sorts of go fast stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Excellent; thanks for posting, and nice results. Do you have a similar STS V8 dyno result? Any plans to offer some type of protective heat shielding for the intake? I am a bit surprised, as one of the engineers on the project was certain no additional gain would be possible by an aftermarket CAI due to the free-flowing characteristics of the stock design. This is the first chassis dyno chart I have seen for the STS-V, and the rest of my comments actually relate to the stock dyno result vs expected: Cadillac's STS-V engine dyno looks like this: [NOTE: this chart is an engine dyno, while the above chart is a chassis dyno. The difference is that this chart was measured at the output of the engine, and that chart was measured at the wheels, through the drivetrain. The drivetrain takes some hp to turn, so this chart is higher than the above chart, and expected to be so.] [attachmentid=2713] The peak torque seems to match well enough, but the peak HP looks to tail off too soon in the chassis dyno on the production example. The power reaching the wheels through the new 6speed auto is a little disappointing at 77% (360.99 whp / 469 hp ) that would represent a 23% transmission loss. Most automatics manage 20% or less transmission loss. In other words, a good stock result would have been 375whp or better instead of 361whp. This may be a side effect of the dyno process however, or low mileage on the engine, octane available, or other factors. I assume this was a California emissions car, which may also have some effect I suppose.

ctd3cadillac Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 We are still developing new components for the STS application, until that is completed we will not have additional dyno charts for the V8 STS. As far as the heat shield is concerned we do not see a necessity at this time for that addition. Our testing has yielded great results without the use of a heat shield.
