Went to a dyno shoot out day at an Awesome GTI on Sunday. For comparison the cars were .....
Audi S3 stage 2+ with decat
My Golf R with GIAC extreme race file and water methanol injection. 200 cell cat.
The runs were done in 4WD shoot out mode on a Dynojet and figures are at the crank.
Basically peak figures showed .....
APR - 379.59bhp and 423.65lbft (drawn on in ink off APR graph)
GIAC +WMI - 392.08bhp and 462.67lbft (green line on graph)
The full story reveals that torque is held much longer on WMI and power builds earlier.
Eg. Torque is held over 400lbft on WMI for over 2,000rpm whereas on 2+ it simply doesn't hold and immediately drops back to 380lbft
Similarly power after 2,500rpm is made faster with WMI.
Eg. At 3,500rpm WMI makes 40bhp extra, by 4,000rpm wmi makes 60bhp extra.
This is NOT an APR v's GIAC it is purely to attempt to show how WMI makes power. I'm sure similar results could be achieved from any equivalent stage2+ car by adding WMI.
