Hey everyone,
Some of you may have seen my build thread here, but I wanted to make a separate post of my dyno results so the results don’t get buried in the thread. Finally I had a chance to head to the dyno to get some results for my custom tuned 2.3L Bronco. Here is a list of the specs and modifications done prior to heading to the dyno.
Vehicle Specs
Performance Mods
Ryan Martin from EMS and I have spent a lot of time with revisions and dialing in the Bronco. Can’t say enough good things about Ryan. He’s been super responsive and very accommodating, especially since getting the HP Tuners MPVI4 initially working was a bit of a task. I’ll do a separate write-up on the tuning process and go into more of the specifics about the tune later on.
I will say, the Bronco feels like a completely different beast, especially with the E30 map. I reverted back to the stock tune on the way to the dyno and I couldn't believe the difference. It felt like a complete dog by comparison. Guess I’ve been spoiled with these custom tunes
I had planned to make all my dyno pulls in 4th gear which is 1:1. Unfortunately the Bronco hit the speed limiter in 4th on the stock tune so we did all of the pulls in 3rd gear on the Dynojet.
As you can see by the results, with the bolt-ons that I have installed the Bronco is running pretty good right out of the gate. Higher than some of the dyno results I’ve seen with the stock tune on a DynoJet. I will say it’s hard to find an apples to apples comparison as some folks use different dynos, gears and show STD vs. SAE.
After flashing to the 93 map, you can see the HP gains are modest (Close to 30 RWHP gained) but torque gains are massive. Nearly + 80 RWTQ! Definitely noticeable when rowing through the gears.
E30 is where the real fun begins, here we’re seeing 329 RWHP and 418 RWTQ - that’s a + 68 RWHP gain and +115 RWTQ All at the same curve, so a huge difference in daily driving & off-road. Making Bronco Raptor power with a 2 DR and a manual transmission = Fun Huge win for the 2.3L Bronco platform.
Torque wise, on E30 we’re pretty much at the safety levels we want to be with the stock long block. Around 420 RWTQ is a nice stopping point to maintain reliability. We still have plenty of room on the HP side, as you’ll typically want to stay around the 380-400 RWHP mark.
I have more plans with this Bronco, as I have TurboBay Performance making me a custom turbo using the stock housing and adding a T51R mod. I won’t be pushing this little motor to the moon, but it will be fun to make a little bit more power and a lot of cool turbo noises.
