Mugen Airbox

I'll be having it dynoed in a few weeks actually. Will post up the results once I've got them.

Anyone with Injen or Comptech intakes dyno figures so we can compare?

Your car is brand spanking new so maybe now is not the right time to chase dyno numbers

Just trying to see what improvements it makes to the car. But I'm going for my club's dyno day to hang out with the boys and for the fun of it, I decided to put the car on the dyno as well.

Still have the new car smell...Mmmmm....

Well, your dyno numbers will only be comparable to the other cars that will run on the same dyno day. You can't compare numbers over different brands of dyno machines.

Yes, I know that. I've had my previous cars dynoed before and understand that every dyno is different, every car is different at different times, etc.

But there's always a rough benchmark for what to expect from our cars. Just want to know what the average is so if say most people have been getting 115kw and I get only 95kw then I know that something is wrong with my setup.

Phew, took the entire night but the airbox is finally in the car. First time ever taking apart the Euro so it took a while but the Mugen instructions (though in Jap) were fantastic. Will post up some photos in a while, gotta go wash the dirty hands.

It would be better if you used the dyno to find out the improvement in power with your mods rather than compare the outright power to someone elses.

Depends on the dyno. I got 119.5kW with just a pod!

[curik]

of coz i know that mate. just that he is asking for a general figure which myself had an exact setup which he is after

Ok here it goes, I thought that I better post them up before I go to bed.

The first thing I did was to take off the bumper, so a couple of screws and clips later, the bumper was off...too easy.

Then I removed the resonator and the airbox and put the Mugen one in (don't think that I need to go into details.)

Also install the scoop that catches the air from the bumper beside the foggies.

So here it is. Haven't given the car a good drive yet and will post up my thoughts tomorrow when I have.

But mission accomplished! And I'm proud that I did it all on my own.

Depends on the dyno. Why don't you go for the next dynoday? Then your numbers can be compared to the other cars on the day too. BTW, when am I going to get to see your car? I've even moved to Melb already! Go for the BBQ meet.
