Honda Civic on the dyno — factory and measured figures
A 2008 diesel Honda Civic recorded 142 hp on the dyno, compared with the 140 hp factory figure cited in the video.
Dyno reading close to the stated factory power
AutoChip tested a 2008 diesel Honda Civic on its dynamometer. The car was in its factory configuration during the measurement; the video says the DPF system and other components were still in place.
The video gives a factory power figure of 140 hp. The dyno recorded 142 hp. The torque reading was also close to the factory figure cited: nearly 339 compared with 340. The video does not specify the torque unit.
This measurement shows how a dyno can compare the actual result for a particular car with its stated factory figure. The stand is described as synchronised and braked; a single example does not independently establish accuracy for every vehicle or test condition.
