Dyno'ed my junk

I put my car on a dyno for the first time ever this weekend. The results were expected and surprising at the same time. My car made 197hp, which is about what I thought. The torque though... 269ftlbs, and look how soon it comes on. No wonder it feels so quick off the line!

Hp was to be expected. After destroying two engines I have the car tuned to be very safe. Lots of fuel, not a lot of timing or boost. I'm not a tuner, and I know with a proper dyno tune I could pick up more HP, this was just for fun. It drives great around town, and like I said it gets up and goes. A stock '14 Focus ST that was there put down almost identical numbers.

Here's a video of one run, taken with a potato from the 80's.

Edit:

Its a turbocharged 2.3 4 banger:

What engine is in there? The 2.3L turbo from the SVO? Car looks awesome BTW!

Misleading title. Thankfully.

I can't tell what you've got in there -is it the I6 (damned impressive numbers if so!) or a 289?

Props for being different! That would outrun the stock 289 2 bbl thats in my truck with ease.

I love everything about this car. Do you get some good blow off valve noise?

Its super loud. It was way too loud, but I had a pipe welded on it as a silencer, took the harshness away. Just yesterday I was next to my friend on the freeway, he also has a 2.3T. He said my BOV was louder than his inside his car :)
