This past Saturday, I attended a Dyno day that was held in South Florida. Found through this forum. There were definitely some sick cars like these two Civic Si Sedan that were boosted one of which was putting down 500+. I went to do a baseline dyno just to know where Im at since Temple of VTEC did one for the manual. Got it up on the dyno and sadly was not able to get a good run since the VSA kept on kicking in. So was not able to really dyno my car but I have the sheet and a vid of it. One of the guys said that he could take off the VSA fuse but it will throw an error code and he didn't have his tool to clear it so I will be getting a free dyno the next time I go back to South Florida. Anyways I was suprised with the numbers nevertheless since I expected it to be a lot lower.

The dyno sheet


Two vids

 

Did you try disabling VSA? Press and hold the VSA button thats near your left knee. I sometimes forget that button is there heh. Interesting the see the "lull" in power that I feel between 3250-3750 RPM when in higher gears.

 

I can barely read those numbers, but why such a big difference in output on the three separate runs?

 

Yea, they tried, turned it off but still kicked in. I guess the computer sees the back wheel is not spinning so therefore prevents me


sorry for it to be so small, basically scanned my sheet. The reason for a big difference in output on the three separate runs was that the first one with the most output was just in D. They were trying to get into fifth gear which was hard. The other two was in S, which puts it in third gear and we had to slowly accelerate

 

hey Heavy Duty, here a zoomed in version for easy reading lol

 

did you do the resonator delete? I uncoupled it, taking the rubber coupler out and it sound much nicer.

 

yup

 

Does disabling the VSA increase performance?

 

No it doesn't increase performance. but it allows the car to get to redline

 

Thanks for printing it for the old man, lol. Feck I'm getting blind.

So...we need to find out how to do this the correct way without having to clear hard codes.

 

I don`t have a automatic but I thought that the VSA button was for traction control and stability control. I drove an automatic and had no problems getting it to redline with the VSA on if I remember correctly.

 

You are right that even with an automatic we can still redline with VSA on but I believe that since I was trying to dyno, the computer sees that the front wheels are spinning while the rear is still, thus "thinks" im slipping and did not allow me to redline

 

did you try it with just the shifter in S mode? without even using the paddle shifters...it shifts by itself its actually kinda fun too drive it like that lol

 

+1 i like driving in S mode moree. liek you said, its more fun lol

 

thanks for coming. when i got there Katie told me you came and left already..

yes i believe the VSA kept kicking in because the rear wheels weren't spinning.

sorry you could stay. Quaddb150 out down 264whp in his 08 TL-S with intake and exhaust

 

yea, i came pretty early since i had to drive back to orlando within the few hours you guys came buy. how many ppl showed up from this forum after you guys arrived?

 

only 8 but it was a big event since it was posted in other forums

 

Any sound clips?

 

i did the resonator delete and video is in the first post

 

i dont get it. you got 214 lb ft of torque? so what were the final numbers?

 

Yea numbers are off plus it was'nt done properly since VSA kept kicking in so I couldn't go to redline. I haven't been back down so I haven't gotten it re-dynoed yet.
