Any ideas on what the approx. performance gains would be when you add:
RRM piggyback ECU, CAI, intake manifold, joe's lightweight pullies(soon to be RRM's lightweight pullies), catback exhaust?

 

you forgot the RRM downpipe. i have all these mods , but not the catback. i'm hoping i have 180whp or more.

 

Doesn't RRM claim 30whp with the 3 mods, CAI,ECU, and IM? maybe another 10 with the pulley?

 

Those mods will put you at around 155 at the wheels. Downpipe could probably get you up to around 165, or close to it. Of course, it also depends on what kind of dyno you use.

 

i got everything but the downpipe.... i even have the clutch and flywheel... i figure about 185-190 .. i raced guys who dyno out at 188 and i eat him.... and a lightweight hatchback with 174whp

 

^its probably cause u got 185tq to go w/ that hp.

 

Clutch/flywheel won't show up on the dyno, but are the types of mods that help you eat up guys that dyno more than you...
And yeah, gotta love that torque!!!

 

I thought that things like flywheel and crank pulleys (or anything that lightens the rotating mass on the engine) would not ADD hp but decrease drivetrain loss which would then translate into a stronger WHP number. Am I wrong?

 

From what I notice, when I run my friends type-s, I can take him thru 1st-2nd and sometimes part of 3rd, but that's when horsepower comes to play. Torque is only good from a launch. If your going roll, you better have some HP to back it up.

 

i can back it up now. type-s dyno at 170whp or more i can pull RSX on rolls now like twocar or a little bit more. i may have the the piping done to a 2.5 . hopelly someone will make a header and for sure i'm going to have my piggyback retune.

 

Bench racing... spend the $75 and find out. RRM doesn't dyno anything. They guess like you guys are doing now.
