J32A2 dyno!!!!
I know this is the CL side, but the TL side isnt big on performance... and I am. I was curious as to what my TL put down with my mods so I took her to they dyno.
Current performance mods are:
AEM CAI
Comptech Headers
XLR8 HFC
Apexi WS II Exhaust
UR lightweight pulley
MDX IM spacer
P2R IM and TB thermal gaskets
With those mods I put down these numbers 225whp/194wtq
I was expecting a little bit more but 30whp isnt all that bad since I have a 5AT![Why Me](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/whyme.gif)
I have the 09 TL IM in my trunk im just waiting for the adapter from p2r so I can put it on and get an after dyno for that mod. Althought it wont be on a bone stock car we can still have another after dyno, since Civicdrivr was having compression issues when he did his.
First pull was in 4th gear then second 2 were in 3rd gear. 3rd seemed to be the 1:1 ratio.
Any help and/or tips are welcome!

that a bit low. hp and tq wise for those mods. what kind of dyno was it?
with the headers alone u should be around 220-230
i would be expecting around 240-250whp for an auot
in my 02 tl-s with k&n drop in filter and dc sport headers and intake resonator removed i was at 220-227whp and 205ish wtq

those were the numbers I was hoping for...
I saw others putting out more power with less mods also. Ive taken great care of this car ever since I've had it. Is there anything I can look at for my power loss?

I got my valves re timed 2 weeks ago.
Spark plugs were done about 15,000km ago, should they be replaced? if so, what model of NGK do you recommend?
Ran fuel injector cleaner <1000km ago, which was after the dyno.
EGR ports were cleaned when the MDX IM spacer was installed.
Im not toconcered about the numbers being a little low from the rims, Im mainly concered about where the power is being lost at in my engine. But I remember last year at the track I ran a 14.9 stock w/ stock type s rims and ran a 14.7 stock w/ my 19's. Could be that I had new tires on though.

As for your numbers, I would agree with doing another dyno, but double check everything one more time . . unless you have lots $$ to blow. Also, make sure the VTEC actuator/IMRC are working . . . this happened to others.

Whats up with RDX owners?

As others have said, those numbers are a bit low. Take a look in the Dynograph section to see what others are putting down.
What was the weather like for these runs? Was there a cool down in between or did they do back to back to back runs?

yeah numbers do seem a bit low. Try to a basic tune up and run it again.

will do
![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
this is another reason why I knew my numbers were too low. When I get it redyno'd hopefully the numbers will be a bit higher

as requeted
I know my car is a god damn TRUCK I hate it too, but I quit visual until all the performance mods are done. After my 09 IM is installed ill be working on the stance of my car, see how flush I can get these rims to sit.
EDIT: The car is really dirty and hasnt had a wax since before the winter. Im going to wash it up later and take some pics with a better camera. Might have a mini photoshoot with my boys jetta

Damn, from your avatar you'd think that you were almost bone stock, but guess not haha ![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
How far do you plan to take the performance side? above or below S/C and/or 6MT swap?

Once my manifold goes on Im going to start saving money in a water jug towards a 6spd swap, since it seems like thats the best way to go. When I go boosted ill just blow the auto tranny and have to get a new tranny anyways. After I do the 6spd im not sure what route im going...s/c or custom turbo... might stop after the 6spd tho. All depends on what I run on the 1/4 mile with the 6MT.

You been to the strip already? Where? What time did you put down? What time do you hope to put down after all's said and done?
