Thanks for the link tazzieman. If my calculations are right I should see about 130 Kw.

Probably lower. Aussy dynos have always read lower then usual.

Because we have smaller butts than Americans I believe.

My S2 has 270kw at the wheels….  but it's been 'tuned up' a bit

Do you get much low end torque with your setup like from 3500+ or your torque is on the rise

Here's the chart. This is flywheel estimated, but you can see the torque curve. It's pretty linear from 3500 on. Fat, but not a big kick like a turbo. More like a V8. This run was only to 6600, it revs freely to 7800 but the power stays flat after 6600. Some intake changes will improve the top end a bit more.

 

 

Regarding normal naturally aspirated power for the S2, I think most cars would be a bit less than 130kw at the wheels. I originally only got 190hp(140kw) at the wheels from a NA 968 motor with race cams and being tuned with a Haltech Interceptor, although that was on a Dynodynamics dyno.

That does llook like a nice curve! obviously real different than mine. as my peak is around 4k and tapers down.
