**locote** · 23-09-2005 12:23 AM

does this seem a little to high?
all ive done is:
aus typeR header
2.5" xhaust, stok cat
k&n pod
cold air intake
advanced timming by 2 degrees
apex'i safc2 tuning

what ppl think this dyno is a load of toss??
car dont feel any quiker than it did when it was stok
and i aint running quiker times at drags

could b the dyno. all dynos provide different power ratings. i reckon their main purpose is to just test before and after power values of mods as well as dyno battles. but if ur using different dynos each time, then dont bother as their all different.

**locote** · 23-09-2005 12:47 AM

it went from 108hp to 119hp after tuning so that does show a gain right

**wkdteg** · 23-09-2005 12:49 AM

yeah if it shows a power gain from b4 to after... mods work

thats wat they made for, tuning

**locote** · 23-09-2005 12:51 AM

couldnt tell the difference but i guess 11hp isnt realy noticeble!

**wkdteg** · 23-09-2005 12:53 AM

yeah its an 8.2kw difference, which i would assume is noticable. wat wast the difference in torque?

**locote** · 23-09-2005 12:57 AM

i didnt get the torque measure just hp at A/F,
been a small N/A motor i dont think torque would have gone up by much.

last time is got measured i had 103hp at wheels and just under 600Lb of torque what ever that means

**wkdteg** · 23-09-2005 01:00 AM

yeah im not sure wat 'good' torque levels are for our small NA engines, but ude feel it if u got increases. i think torque is wat actually pulls the car n gets it goin. but i guess as long as u got increase power figures ur laughin

**locote** · 23-09-2005 01:03 AM

umm makes me think my exhaust is 2.5 inch i think its too big for my engine thats were im loosing torque!!!!
it felt like it pulled alot harder with stock exhaust!!
ive read 2" mandrell is the best performing for nonvtec motors

**wkdteg** · 23-09-2005 01:09 AM

yeah i was told that 2.5" is 2 big for NA motors. ive got 2.5 inch but from that massive muffler thing at the back of the car, so it only produces a lil sound... no power gains. i reckon 2.25-2.5 is a safe size though, ide never go 3+, however i am looking at upgrading the whole system, might just go 2.25 all the way thru. luv the sound with a 4" tip
