The only thing I want to see now are some REAL photos of your car. Maybe you and John (ebelp) could meet up. He's awesome with a camera.

thanks, jaime.

that would be awesome man. we should ALL meet up and caravan beforehand...not just meet up att he car show. that way we can get some shots without a bunch of other cars all over the place.
PM me for my cell and we'll coordinate.

Damn! I really like your TL man! Great job on grille
I've been thinking about doing grille mod too. I might tackle this job later. How's your calipers? The paint is holding up without issue? I know it's not high temp paint. Cause i'm thinking of painting my calipers as well. I just can't decide color.

i had typed out a whole big thing, but my computer just crashed and i'm not going to type it out again.
here are some pics from the event, and a few videos...one of us driving in and another of my embarassing car on the dyno. enjoy.
my buddy Vinny's r56.
melvin's TL
i didn't get any pics of Morgan's new whip (scion FR-S) because as soon as we got there, he got VIP parking under a tent at the main entrance.
i posted the rest of the pics i took in the mid atlantic section. bunch of nice cars showed up.
ok so one of the main reasons why i made the 2 hour drive was to dyno my car. it's a 07 TL-S fully bolted...(aemV2, UR pulley, v3 pcds, v3 jpipe, xlr8 quad exhaust, JnR ECU)...and i was hoping to be somewhere close to 300whp.
after the dyno, final numbers were 186.3 whp and 156.4 torque. i expected 100 more whp, so...either the JnR ECU is jacked up, and/or their dyno was WAY off base. i don't know what to think. but i am disappointed to say the least...and i'm searching for answers. plenty of other cars dyno'd that day and put down great numbers. like a turbo g35 put down 404whp...so how the hell do i put down what a base AT TL with NO modifications puts down stock? makes no sense...and i'm thinking the JnR ECU is to blame. i wish i would have did a run or 2 with it unplugged, but we ran out of time. i think the base map i was supplied with is nowhere near where it should be for my car. my suggestion, anyone running the JnR ECU...get it professionaly tuned for YOUR CAR. don't just plug in and go. get it tuned safely. i have unplugged mine for the time being until i get my AFR guage mounted/knock monitor hooked up and then i'm going to get it tuned at a shop. i'm done with this BS. the tuner behind the wheel said my car was pulling A LOT of timing and he is pretty sure he heard knock during the high RPM wot runs. <-that has JnR written all over it. i am starting to regret my purchase...and feel as tho i was mislead during the group buy. i hope to put my mind at ease after i get everything tuned responsibly. but for now, i'm pissed i wasted $50 and got bunk numbers.
i'd like to see what my car would do without the JnR ECU hooked up.
i am waiting for the videos to upload to YouTube and then i'll post them. shit is taking forever this morning.

Stock AT base would be more like 220 whp? Right?

Aaron, sorry i cudnt help you more on text....but i gaurantee something was messed up with the dyno....as i remember you posting that you felt a lot more power through out the power band with the ECU installed....i know that was the butt dyno but hey i think you would have felt a difference if you lost 50HP....
Chad, Base MT dyno's around 220-ish and base AT dynos around 210-ish
I def think there is something wrong with the dyno....you should have been closer to +100 (on the figures) on the dyno....
EDIT: what gear did they run in, i wont be surprised if they ran her in 4th as compared to 3rd....

Yeah, that's pretty strange. Didn't your car feel peppier after the JnR install?
Where's Anil? He can figure it out, he knows everything lol

^^^ dude am not gay !!!
yeah a lot of people dont know when it comes to Auto....they assume its the same thing as MT....but yeah i def see another 20-30 HP between the gears and that dyno was def messed up.....
this is what i recommend.....
go to a shop nearby that dyno's.....drive up there (20-30 miles) without the JnR ECU....2 runs without the JnR ECU.....
plug in the ECU....drive around for 20-30 miles.....2 runs with the JnR ECU....same day so temp/humidity wont have an impact (even thow dyno's are corrected but well)....
Thanks John
