I've posted in the focus forums a bit since they have more people with experience turboing zetecs I felt(and I just completely forgot about the CEG forums). One of they guys there lives in San Antonio and invited me to go with him to a dyno run with him and a half dozen F150 Lightnings.
We got there at 11:00a.m and they told us they would dyno us front wheel drives around 2, or 3:00pm. Since I sleep during the day this was no good for me. So I went back home and had my dad come back with the car to do the run.
Did two runs, back to back.
Run 1: 144.3 Hp @ 5300 rpm and 156.3 Lb/ft @ 4400 rpm
Run 2: 141.3 Hp @ 5000 rpm and 152.6 Lb/ft @ 4500 rpm
I'm not sure about what peak hp/torque rpm was since I wasn't there and the printout lines are the same color. I'll ask my dad if he knows.
In the first run it looks like the torque peaked quick at 150@2900rpm then 156@4400. Horsepower looks like it didn't peak until 5300. The torque line stays pretty even between 3000 and 5000rpm. Horsepower looks like it gradually goes up til it peaks at around 5000.
They figure with 16% loss it comes to around 167hp at the flywheel. I can live with that for now.
The owner of they dyno who was behind the wheel for the run said that past 5500 rpm I start leaning out big time. So I guess I'm not going past 5500 anytime soon.
I'll try and post the printout and video within the next few days. Over all I'm satisfied, for now.
