We'll see what happens, atleast your optomistic
I guess im not and dont beleive that will happen. Ill give you 14.8 or 14.9
Although still faster then my slow z rally
Yeah I said I'd run 14's last time because I thought I was going to order my piggyback at that time. I ended up spending the money on other items and ran the car how it already was with just the CAI and EXHAUST. But as soon as I get the piggyback I'll guarantee 14's without a doubt. I have a 15.031 with CAI and EXHAUST. Knocking off .031 will be cake with the piggy back. I also ran a 15.031 with over 4,500 miles on my oil that I've been racing the hell out of. Now that I got the oil change the car Isn't running with the lag it had with the oil that was in it helps alot..

Nice can't wait for u too get it, and when i talked to RR they said the RA with the piggy back was almost keeping up with their turbo lancer. Does that mean the piggybacks gonna put us over 200 horse to the wheels? If so i might just be dumb and throw it on the Visa.

if he gets that piggy back installed from RRM he will probably get a string mid 14. Maybe 14.4-14.5. Rob said that thing did wonders for the MIVEC and power band on the motor.

increase of 347hp from an ecu?? I would think more like an increase in 20-25. After I Rep is done with this, and with his exhaust and cai, I would assume he would be close to 185-195whp.

145 to the crank stock. With the CAI, exhaust setup, and with the piggy I'd say I'd have somewhere along the lines of 180 to the wheels and about 205 to the crank.

yeah I was talking 185-195 to the wheels. But even that may be pushing it. I am not sure what it was pushing stock. If it was pushing 140 stock at the wheels, I think you would be hard pressed to have 180 to the wheels. But I have never installed an aftermarket ecu in a car.

you think your gaining 43 hp with a non turbo car with just those mods?
I highly doubt that, id say you got ~10 from exhaust and cai and the ecu will add about 10% on top of that. You should have about 170 to the wheels i would think
Im not trying to drag you down, but i really dont think an n/a 4 cyl can gain that much with just those mods. I know that the mivec engine has more potential then the 2.0 litre i have, but people with the 2.0s are gaining 30-35 hp only after headers, intake, exhaust, tb, and chip.
But then again you might be right and i might be wrong...

We'll my car dynoed 141whp stock..with home made CAI and axle back did 150.4whp so I think a good p-back will yeld another 6whp if lucky. Ultimate racing's car with I/exh had 154whp even with 10 more whp won't be pushing 170. So the 180whp are kinda un-real for just Int/exh/p-back. 160-165 are O.K if you have a better than average engine and an optimistic dyno to test. With 160whp we will be doing 14.5-6 at 94mph..That's impresive #'s for N/A.

I was thinking I saw a higher whp number than 140...but like I said, he would be lucky to get to 185 at the wheels.
