***that acura had 220 whp, not 230... thats a typo***


and another thing... i also raced a turbo'd scion tc ... he said he didnt dyno his car, but his kit is garantee 260+ hp at the wheels... and i beat him by a full car length... go figure...

 

im with you on that one...
even if he had the 250 if he doesnt have the skills you could have beaten him anyways....

 

I only have the UP and a drop-in filter in my Sportback RA: Dynoed 136.5 whp / 134.7 trq on a hot and humid tropical night at a local dyno that is know to read 5-10% lower compared to other dynos on the island.

If I add that 5% I should have 143.3 whp with only $150 in mods...somehow all your $$$$ RRM mods dont add all the power they suggest or your piggy tuner sucks...


When I get my hands on the used header someone here is supposed to ship to me from Colorado I will add a header + HF Cat + Catback and I will dyno it to compare it vs your numbers.

After that I will do the IM port & polish job....dyno again.

Then a piggyback....dyno.

If we add a lot of mods without dyno to document our progress how we are suppose to know what works and what sucks for our 4G69....

 

eso es!

 

well i think spending $1200+ dollars for little results is a waste of money, let's face the facts, N/A is the same at the end of the day, you can through $3500 worth of N/A mods and get a best maybe 80hp to 95hp more "IF" your lucky, so porting and polishing a head, yes will give you a little more HP but nothing impressive and even with a new cam, the 2.4's are very limited on what HP they can put out. So let's see the final results of what this will be and go from there. IMO it won't be very high......but what do i know......just my 2 cents.

 

you opinion is probably shared by 90% of the board

 

and the other 10% will make this an argument worth watching!

 

get the car back saturday. didnt get the cam because they weren't ready quite yet. ill post a review on the gains.

 

Torque wins races...well...and so does someone who knows how to shift. Some kid cut me off on the highway - he downshifted, missed his gear and almost hit a salt truck...OFF TOPIC!
