It works fine. I think they use a different gear and the graph below 3krpm can look strange as the transfer box does it's thing.

Confused did it in his Legnum auto. On the last dyno.
Yup, my auto Legnum went on, and got a peak power figure and torque curve roughly where it should be. But, there was a massive surge or torque low down as the torque converter did its thing.

Mine is a good automatic box with tiptronic, though, so it could be put into a specific gear and held there until it bounced off the limiter - but not sure how a Prelude's auto box will fare. Any half-decent dyno operator should be able to manage it.

8-)

I might be interested to see how many BHP have been lost in the smoky engine. Then when I eventually get the engine sorted/re-build I can do a before and after of the dyno.. :idea: :think:
