Has anybody here actually dyno'd their FFH?

Has anybody here every taken their FFH and have it actually dyno'd?

 

I'm thinking of taking my Fusion Titanium Hybrid to Livernois Motorsports to have it dyno'd so that I can find out what's the torque output as a function of rpm.

 

I wonder if they'd also be able to generate a bsfc vs. engine speed vs. load data table/CSV file for me as well.

I haven't thought about trying that. Plenty of tune shops in my area that could set that up for me easily. I would just have to remember to put the front wheels on the drums instead of my normal rear wheel routine.

I'm thinking of doing it because I'm curious like that.

I hope you get the opportunity and can share the results. I'm very curious too

Shall we start predicting?

 

I predict a torque curve flatter than my infamous souffle`. :)

I should be able to. They might not be able to give me the bsfc vs. rpm vs. load data (cuz that would involved taking it out and running it on the engine dyno which with it being a hybrid is a LOT more complicated).

 

The specs say that it's supposed to be 188 hp combined (peak). Assuming a 12% loss (I have no idea - I'm just pulling a number outta my butt) - that works out to be 165.44 hp.

 

I also figure that if I do a lot of the basic data collection now while the car is still relatively new (3700 miles in a month-and-a-week) then I would have that data.

Would not be surprised to see one like the Ecoboost, peaks at 1500 RPM and stays there. Wonder at what RPM it will peak at given that electric is 100% torque at 0 RPM.

NORMALLY, I would be tempted to check internally first. But again, because of the whole disclosure thingy, and that if I am to use our dynos, I have to be able to present a business case for it...so...hence why I am going outside.

 

Like I said, it's really moreso to satisfy my curiosity more than anything else. And while I know usually people like to mash the throttle in on a dyno run, I'd also be interested in seeing how much ACTUAL power is required to keep the car running at various speeds (say...starting from 25 mph, in 10 mph increments).

Any results?

I think HB's Scan Tool with Torque Pro software gives horsepower numbers, maybe he'll jump in here.

I mostly look at data in kW since I can compare that to the electrical motor power output. The highest I've observed is about 60 kW (~80 hp) from the ICE when climbing mountains on our road trip.
