lol, I gues u are right

 

Yes, Honda does dyno every car that comes off the line. They redline every forward gear and reverse. Take a tour of the East Liberty plant (where Civcs are made..... they didn't offer tours of Marysville when my friend went but I think they do now). They'll tell you all about it. He said every motorcycle, outboard, lawnmower, and automobile engine is run to full throttle in every gear before shipment. They do it to verify the car makes it's advertised power (Honda slightly underrates it's engines, anyway) and for quality control purposes.

 

Im in Scottsdale Az. Where it has been 111-115 the past 2 weeks, no overheat problems here!
Slick

 

Well I was not saying anyone is wrong its just the cars dont come with enough miles really for that to be right, I mean I could be wrong but when dealer has cars with .4 on it how the fuc* was it dynoed? lol you have to remember that includes it getting driven off and on trucks/trains however it gets to the dealer and then the dealer moving the cars around... I mean some cars have miles on them, my car had 4.8 when I got it but I saw some with less then 0.5 and thats just strange, lol...

My car had 4.8 miles on it though and it was never test drove or nothing, I watched them remove ALL the plastic on it and all...

Oh well... not like I care, I have no problems, heh

 

Not that I think every car is put on a dyno and "redlined" in every gear!.... but just for arguments sake.... it doesn't take 10 miles to dyno a car.

 

well yea I know that, it should be around one mile or so, but still how does a car with 0.4 miles get dynoed and then make it from factory all the way to dealer going on and off trucks or whatever and then dealer drive it around the dealer and it only have 0.4 miles, lol That car was not dynoed... cars with around 5 miles like mine where just moved around a lot more is all from other trucks or around the dealer, but hey I dunno... just going off what I have observed...

 

I agree with ya. Mine had 79 miles when I got it, so they could of dynoed the sucker 60 times probably

 

Yep. Redline every gear. The second they come off the assembly line, cold engine and all. And if there is something not within tollerances, the car is torn appart. As for the mileage, they probably connect the VSS last is my guess.

 

So do they dyno the engine alone, or car? If they dyno the engine before installation it could overheat when installed for a ton of reasons.

 

The way it was explained to me was that every car is immediately pulled from the last point on the line to a dyno, started cold and redlined in every gear plus reverse, all the vitals of the car are checked to be within spec, taken for a quick spin on the lot, then preped for shipping. He said the tour guide told them that Honda engines are engineered and assembled with such precision that this can be done with virtually no risk to the durability of the motor or transmission. The tour guide also hinted at the fact that the break in period, while still recomended by Honda, is almost a moot point. The engines are about as broken in as they will ever be by the time they reach your dealership.
