Okay guys I managed to get these dyno numbers without disappearing :shady: if you followed the other thread you'll know what I'm talking about:laughing: So the numbers you are about to see are all done on the same dyno here in Portland Oregon at VIP Performance on a dynocom dyno. The BLACK line is my car before the Skunk2 Alpha race header. The GREEN line is after the Skunk2 RH. Aaand finally the Reflash is the BLUE line. There isn't a lot of peak HP increase, but I do get almost 11 more torque 1400rpms faster. I'm pretty happy with it, but I did expect more peak HP since Hondata does say "up to 40hp increase at high end". But I'm not sweating it.

Awesome for mid-range gains and dd'ing. I was expecting more from top end though. What are your supporting mods?

 

[Wolfram]

froman, what fuel were you using? I wonder if higher octane would push the numbers higher as it needs to retard timing to prevent knock otherwise.

 

[jimboslice]

i think he runs 92.

We'll see what this reflash does when we go to the drags. I wanna see low 14's with all that mid range power

 

[Wolfram]

Should try again with some 94 in there.

Where would one purchase 94? Just dump a can of octane booster in the tank?

Yeah I was expecting more top end too but I'm happy with the mid range and torque increase. My supporting mods are skunk2 alpha RH, 65mm HKS catback, PWJDM power chamber intake and samco induction hose.

I only run 92 octane in my car. To get higher octane here I need to put booster in it

I wonder what the numbers would be with a CAI.. I don't know to much on the power chamber but from what I've read some say they're not too good.. But I have no personal experience with them

 

[jl_type-s]

wow that midrange must pull like a boss. nice gains man

Yeah I mean there are people who swear by this intake and there are people who swear by the CA And there dyno sheets to prove either side so who knows? Thats another thread anyways
haha.

Thanks it definitely is fun and different from what I'm used to

Either way you made nice gains.. Mine will be here next week, so I'm excited now to see how it's gonna pull...

Damn! Well, there's only one choice.

Water/methanol injection :giggity:

You should get yours dyno'd too so we can compare power bands

 

[Nhbp-typeS]

I'm gonna do my best to get it to the dyno.. There's a place near by that only charges $80 for 3 pulls

 

[backman_66]

That 65mm catback is probably restricting your top end some, but probably keeps noise down compared to getting bigger.. just depends what you want out of your car.

We'll find out in the next couple months, as I'm running a 70mm and I'll probably get the same header and reflash...


...unless i happen upon a couple grand so i can get a toda header

 

[Nhbp-typeS]

I have a 2.25", 2.5" and a 3" exhaust for my car.. Just ones I've picked up over the last few years.. So If i get to make it to a dyno i might try and switch it up between the dyno pulls if they will let me to see the difference in gains.. I know when I had the 3" on it pulled really good up top so I'm sure a 3" will net more power obviously, but the question is how much more power with this reflash..

That will be very interesting to see.

Nice my place charged me 75 and he hooked it up with 5 pulls

Yeah it could be I've heard up to 3 is better but I love my HKS high power :] and it is pretty loud as it is haha

 

[Nhbp-typeS]

Damn I thought $80 for 3 pulls was good...lol
