"Altis" on dyno

Right before the car hit the magical 5 figures, I figure that I better get a power reading first as usually the magical 5 figures is where the green light for modding starts. Well at least for me.

Haha.
Hopefully the missus won't kill me.

So where else if not at GT Auto, a place I always frequent for dyno or car tuning purposes.

On a bright saturday morning, after sending the missus to work, I drop by GT Auto to have the car placed on the dyno machine.

It was after hooking up all the cables that Thomas from GT Auto realized that the ESP cannot be turned off in this car.

So as a solution, the dyno reading will be run in Link mode where both the axles will be placed on rollers like how a 4WD vehicle will be dynoed.

With both the axles safely placed on the rollers, the fun begins.

Due to my excitement in looking at the output of the car, I forgot to take more pictures of the dyno process in progress.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!

Anyway, after all is done and dusted, my final results is as below.

Considering the stated factory output of the car as 160PS / 240NM, I am quite happy with the power that my stock car is putting out.

Wonders of running it hard since day one.

With this base reading in hand, the next stage can now earnestly start.
