So I've finished all the N/A mods on my car, and though a dyno would be in order. With a NEO tune I pulled 252hp and 223ft-lbs. They didn't adjust the VTEC engagement, since they felt that the car produced a very smooth curve.

I gotta say that I am a little disappointed. I feel like I have seen people dyno right around where I did without a few of the parts I got.

Thoughts / Comments?

-4" P2R Intake w/Spacer
-Intake Manifold thermal gasket
-P2R plenums
-bored TB
-XS Headers
-Full CT catback
-RT High flow cat
-UR Crank Pulley

Also, I regapped the valves and changed plugs two weeks ago.

 

you should have reset the ECU before the run

 

My ECU did not have more then 20 miles of driving logged after the latest reset.

One point I forgot to mention, the tuner shop did not feel that the NEO would be over-ridden by the ECU since it operates in an open-loop mode at full throttle.

 

no intake? i guess you're missing 1....

damn i thought you'd make more what was she dynoed on?

 

I have the 4" P2R intake

A Dynojet

 

Nice man, how did you like RT Tuning? I will go there soon for dyno tuning. Also, what they said about the ECU seems to be the case with the s2k ECUs also. So I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case with our cars also.

 

looking at ur n/a mods (sorry i was blind, didn't see it) there isn't much to do to our cars... =[

grounding kit? even though it doesn't do much...

the numbers just seem a tad low imo.

 

plenums seem like a waste of $ imo

 

look on the bright side, you made more than horsepowercrzy18 did on his dyno w/ an s/c
He is auto though

 

you have to remember that not every dyno is the same.. and iirc mustang dyno's run less than dynapaks

what you should have done was a baseline and then another after all your mods were installed.. that's all a dyno is good for, really.

 

finally a new dyno around here. nice numbers!

 

I made that. With no 4' intake, no RT cat & no neo.
What are the SAE numbers? You always should post those #'s. They are more accurate.

 

Well thats why I said I was disappointed...

Anyway, I don't know what the SAE numbers are. All the local info is on the dyno sheet, I haven't bothered to calc it out.

 

I actually dynoed worse with the Random Tech cat as I did before and after, I gained 5hp and 10lbs of torque with the stock cat.
I think the backpressure had something to do with the high flow cat.
I also dynoed better with the Icebox versus the AEM I originally had, only by a few horsepower though.

 

jeez if you're only netting 252 with all those bolt ons i don't even want to know what my CL-Pee would dyno

i'm sure she pulls great though

 

A bored TB doesnt do any good unless you've bored the inlet on the IM

 

skillOBskilled/Moodist could one of you guys tell me where R/T Tuning is located ive heard of the place but i dont know where it is.

 

R/T Tuning is located in Lansdale, I should be going in a couple of weeks:

Sonor Kid what was your total dyno......your actual numbers...and great color =D Same as mine!

 

krisdlm:

^i retuned and dynod on a dynojet and made 291whp. i do agree that autos cant make hp for shit because the auto cl tranny sucks ass and theres a huge loss of power from the drivetrain which is exactlyyy why im doing a 6 speed swap

 

and listing your car for sale at the same time?

 

yep listing my car for sale because i want manual now. i drove a 6 spd tl and it felt faster. im getting an 04 tl 6 speed and either puting the sc on the tl, leaving on my car, or selling it. already found a tl to buy. just seein if anyones interested in my car. if noones interested, im trading my car in. my goal is to have the 04 tl 6spd and supercharge it

 

Thats interesting, I saw your track time thread and with those mods and I would think your car would be capable of doing high 13s.

Currently I'm running with CT (headers, b-pipe, mufflers) as my only mods and I've been able to pull 14.1s in quarter mile with shitty launches. I have a 2.5" test-pipe installed as well.

Theres gotta be something restricting your car from getting maximum performance.

 

what is the size of ur exhaust front to back?

 

RT cat is actually whats restrictive it has a 2.0" inlet/outlet. Plus you can do some porting and polishing of the IM like me, doing the top helped, didn't notice much with the bottom though. Also lighter wheels/tires, aluminum flywheel with a decent clutch kit (Clutchmasters).

Also seafoam your car

 

Preach on..

 

Sounds like a lot of good info on the mods and such, great reading for a new user! Just starting to mod my CLS and I was hoping to find a P2R 4" intake, but I cant find one anywhere, any thoughts? where did you get yours?

 

Can someone inform me of WTF is seafoam lol

 

search the 2nd gen tl forum.

 

Ah got it now..did a quick google search. Reminds me of marvel mystery oil. Looks like they have a good line up of products.
