What a great package to get in the mail! Looks like you even got the K&N drycharger?Originally Posted by Matell
So after 23,000+ km and with zero performance modifications besides switching to Mobil 1 (Gold Bottle) 10W-40 at the 20K service my car's putting down 115.2kW (154.5HP) to the wheels which is 4HP less than the more powerful standard TSX dyno chart obtained from www.injen.com
Not bad I guess, and I can't wait to see the results from the heat shield, and then the CAI. Dare I hope for 130+kW????.Makes me wonder what yfin's done to get 120kW
Someone was telling me (can't recall who) that they measure cars on the dyno differently in the USA - so not sure whether the TSX charts are useful (you can still see the gain though). That TSX in the chart was also an auto!
You can't really compare dyno to dyno figures - but hey - I am happy with what I got. I haven't done anything to the engine except run synthetic oil since 10k. I think the lighter rims also made a few kw difference - some people think lighter rims do sweet fa all - that is until you have them on your own car and notice the difference. The only other thing I did was my secret run in method!
