5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
a local buddy who has his own shop just got his dyno in ... apparently after he wrecked his Supra he rented a Gen 6 Camry, and he said he put it on the dyno and it made 120whp...on a DynoDynamics
anyone else had theirs dyno'd?

I don't know about Dyno but the real life driving experiance between the 6 and the 4 is not worth the tiny difference in MPG (if any). I've purchased two Gen6s now an 07 and the latest 09 (for the wife) and I got the V6 in both. I've also noticed almost all the used ones you see for sale like at Carmax are the 4s. Folks who have a V6 are not letting go of it and they are worth a lot more if you ever need to sell it.

That could be because a majority of the Camrys that Toyota sells are equipped with I4.
yeah more % of power.. well i have to try it first my last dyno was 5 year a go.. at DynoJet ( my Integra ) and was 345 around.. and Dynapack was almost 380
are you saying the dynapack is flywheel horsepower?? no. its wheel horsepower just like the others... even though the wheel is off to measure, it still measures with drivetrain loss, which is very different than flywheel horsepower.
im not going to get into another pissing match with you... but you did say that it WAS NOT wheel horsepower... what else is there? horsepower is measured at either the wheel to take drivetrain loss into account, or the flywheel to measure the engine power directly.
if my logic is flawed to think you meant flywheel when you said NOT WHP then I apologize.
what i meant that it was a whp approximation, not the same as a DD or DJ because those numbers include any losses from the wheels & tires (which can weigh a lot)

I agree the numbers will be different... you are talking about like 75-100lbs of rotating mass... I was slightly confused as to what you were talking about... who knows... All i was trying to say was that it is a very real measurement... It isnt going to be exactly the same as the others but it will be close...
hey venom...off topic but i knew you signature picture looked familiar. thats natchez trace right? i was out there a few months ago on my bike hitting 100 mph on them turns. nice to know theres another cashvillain here in TN.
so gene added 100+ more whp with his turbo at only 4lb of boost?!? WOW!
