well after a year of ownership of my car i decided to detail it back to brand new condition. I also got a chance to get it on a dyno here in fynetune in miami. i like the numbers for a pretty much bone stock car with a velocity stack.
the only things done to are:
velocity stack
k&n replacement air filter
acura RL center caps
acura all season floor mats

here are the pics:
































the first pull was a 3rd gear pull where the car did 187whp 149wtq
the second pull was a 4th and while the hp was lower but the torque was higher 185whp 152wtq overall i like the numbers but i've heard that the dyno on that shop reads a little low (its a four wheel dyno) and it makes me want to find a way to kpro this car hehe

nice pics,

where did you get the velocity stack from?

Nice man wish weather here in buffalo is like yours haha... It was snowing the other day still.

actually i put it together with pieces from the local pep boys it is a $10 45 degree elbow and a 3 in velocity stack that was like $15 bucks

Love the MR color, always catches my attention on a nice sunny day.

well believe it or not i took the pics at about 3pm on friday and like at 7pm it started raining. it has not stopped all weekend long so there went my car wash and wax

Nice pics! very Clean MR!! (Probably drop it now)

Isn't a velocity stack just a horn shaped intake with no filter on it? I haven't ever seen one in person or on this forum.

Nice pics and numbers BTW

Very nice. We have the exact same car except you have Navi and I have a few more mods.

well it depends i guess you could do that on race cars but i wouldnt like the idea of driving w/o a filter

wrussi

yeah i've seen ur pics before. it looks beautiful!

Get a bigger filter and you can actually place the velocity stack in it.. get a 6 inch AEM filter. But from your pics it looks like your running the stock air box?.. I dont get it

wrussi

i took off the resonator. in place of the resonator i put the 45 deg elbow with the v/stack its pretty much the same design as the comptech airbox. so im running the stock airbox with k&n filter and instead of a resonator, a velocity stack.

wrussi

i made this thread a while ago when i installed it. so you guys have a better idea of how it looks like.

187whp on dynojet is really good, because thats like 200whp on dynapack..

PrecyseStylez

The graph isnt corrected though (STD).. so the power is alil lower than what it reads.

DAYTA

"STD" is still a correction standard calculated by the SAE...it just adjust based on a higher pressure and lower ambient temperature reference than "SAE" correction.

I dunno. BUt u didn't do those engine mods, and you have the same hp numbers as me. And with a higher torque compared to mine..!?!? @@

Because you are an manual?!?

I have a 06 AT. with Hondata, Intake, Header. 185.7 with 138.9 torque.

undefined.tae

very cLean engine bay...!

wrussi

me as well as most people i know go with Sandard because that one is pretty much the same wherever you are. the numbers with SAE corrected can vary depending on conditions altitude etc but rarely any one goes with SAE not because the numbers read low (which is not true. i've seen times where SAE reads higher than standard) but because they are very inconsistent.
STD proves consistency regardless of wheather conditions and altitude, it is much easier to compare. it still varies but not as much as SAE corrected or uncorrected where you can dyno a car in the morning and get a number then in the afternoon dyno the same car again on the same dyno and get another number.

msmching: i think there can be a difference in AT to MT due to the fact that different fuel maps and ignition settings are being used. as for my experience with TSX my aunt has an 06 at and that thing feels slow even with the manual shift mode. so i would say there is a difference between the cars. also are your numbers standard or SAE corrected? because as precysestylez said STD reads a little higher most of the times..
