Yes Josh but My CAI is totally different than Brians I have the Short ram and Brian's is the long one. This could be a true comparison if we had identical CAI. You Know apples to apples. You and Dan have almost the same numbers, and almost the same mods. I might be looking to get a different CAI but I am ok withw the numbers.

Jorge Max torque=188.53 Max power=212.59

 

Yea, I just wanted to say Ls1.

 

Not that freakish actually, it happened fairly often with the LS1's. Some guys got unlucky and their motors sucked and a lot got the good motors.. I've dyno'd average Vettes that make less then a good Camaro motor.

In any case, most Honda/Acura motors are very close in regards to power. The motors are not hand built(excluding the NSX), and the tolerances are very good. But age/wear like others have said will be the difference in your guy's case. Anything from the kind of oil you are running, to the kind of tranny fluid, to the state of your tranny, to the state of your motor, your tire selection(or tire pressure), etc.. they all play into a small difference in HP. Also like others have said, to know your gains, you can only compare to your own before and after dyno runs.

 

So I talked to the guy about the S/C, and I think it's goona have to die a wet dream. He said that it's being held (but sounds like the guy may not be able to come up with the money) - he has had many offers, and some were over the $3200 he is asking. Since I only offered him $2900 - I can't expect that he is going to be interested.

Oh well - probably for the best anyways. Now that the beer bong has worn off, it doesn't sound like one of my better purchase choices anyhow.

 

You know that the Ls1 in the vette is the same one in the camaro right?

 

What I want to know is what motor they have in the Turbo RDX, and can the turbo be fitted to a TL...

 

I want to know if that supercharged Ion redline motor would fit in my trunk - then I could go AWD (although it would take a little while for the back to catch up...lol)

 

Yeah, I also would have liked for Luke to have seen that rusty rustang that put up 630HP before the tires started spinning on the dyno, that was WAAAAAY impressive.

I still want to know how that dude drove the car though, he only had one hand.

 

His other hand probably fell off trying to shift so god damn fast.

I know - that was probably uncalled for. I'm sorry guy (Hey - was that Rick Allen?)

 

I'm sorry for the Rick Allen comment too.

 

It is a 4 cylinder turbo. Same engine as the TSX but TURBO SIZE. No it would take alot of modifications to make it fit. Buy a TSX and order the TURBO KIT for RDX.

 

it looks small enough to put on the back of the motor where there is enough room to put Razzi between the engine and firewall.

 

So... like there wouldn't be any lag while the turbo is spooling up because it would be razzi powered?

 

Nah, he doesn't have that much hot air. I was just saying it was roomy back there.

 

Good idea anyhow.

Well - I'm off to the office (not Wells, but my actual office at Nexus) - looks like I'll be down there for a few days as they don't have anyone at the office that is good with laptops.

I get to go down there and play a little catch-up, and hopefully I can get back to Wells soon. It's kind of nice to work down here.

 

please dude, i'd spool so fast the turbine blades would fall off

hey, there's a place behind my house, real cool guys. they're doing window tinting for 214 dollars after tax, lifetime warranty, and 12 months interest free financing. razzi's gonna roll dirty soon

oh and i got my headlight tint, i ordered front and back, they sent me 2 front. tried to apply them. IMPOSSIBLE. so imma have the pros at the shop do it, shouldnt be that much

 

how dark will they go on the tint?

 

Yes, but they are supposed to have different HP levels from the factory. The Corvette is rated anywhere from 345 to 350hp and the Z28 SS was rated at 320HP(not sure on the base Z28, but 290-300 rings a bell?). And this is why I noted some Camaro's have dynoed(at my shop) more then some Corvettes(also at my shop)..

 

dunno i didnt ask. but they do a lot of the donk stuff and sometimes those guys go pretty dark. i'll call em and ask, and also if we can get a group discount or something

 

Donk? WTF is donk?

 

need more?

 

ho-lee shit. Razzi, walk away from the ghetto cruizer.

why would you do that to a perfectly good car?

 

Were is your shop and can we get a break on dynoing our cars

 

That is a REDNECK dune buggy

 

Jorge, I found you an exhaust: https://acurazine.com/forums/audio-video-electronics-navigation-22/question-streeteffectz-174503/

sounds good too!

 

90% of Americans hate their job...thus the pole:

Do you hate your job?

 

not today, but I am guessing you do....

 

That exhaust is dead sexy. Get it you 3g peeps.


and yes i do. josh u wanna come pick me up?

 

oh god please, get the exhaust. for the sake of all that is holy, do it

what pole?

EDIT: oh you meant poll, i was like, where's the stripper. yes i hate mine

 

I like the sound. I send them a messsage that I want to see the quad tipslook like and if they fit on my TL

 

I had talked to a couple of the other guys on here.. Unfortunately I sold my dyno this last fall. Shop is Elite Autosport just north of downtown MPLS.

 

Same power. GM rated the f body at 305 and the SS, WS6 at 320. Then upped them a couple horse in the following years. You are right, they are 'supposed" to have different horse power numbers but they don't. GM rated the Fbodys lower than the Vette for marking purposes. GM couldn't have the Fbodies making the same "advertised" horsepower as the "King of the Hill" vette.

I have met the guy before. I think. I know all the cobra homos in Mn. lol

 

actually, i think the quad tip setup from XLR8 is still in development. as far as i know the rear bumper will not be modified.

I personally like the style from ATLP better.

 

Hey..... I heard yesterday that for 09 there will be 3 new models of TL'S!! WOW, A basic = front drive standard motor. 2nd = AWD little bigger motor. Then the S-type!! 3.7L worth of 310-320HP! With the improved S-type package. Also SHAWD! Yes. Just thought you might want to know. I talked to a guy that saw the type S TL. He said it was very impressive. I believe his words were "drop dead gorgeous!"

 

Anyone know of a quality tint shop in the metro for a reasonable price?

 

Hey Spirit

Have no seen you in a while Did this guy say if there will be pictures any time soom. I also saw that one of the guys in this thread metion to you about i we are having a meet at Buerkley this year or not. I have mentioned what a great meet that was an how well we were treated at Buerkley. So ltes get thi party started

 

Question, is there anything scheduled for this weekend?

 

I'm going to Puerto Riqueno starting tomorrow, so count me out.

 

imma get my car tinted at the shop behind my house in a week or two. i'll let you know how it goes.

let's hold off on meet for a week or two, allow razzi to get a few mods in

 

I just want to keep posting so that I can look at my avatar...
