Just curious what #'s people are seeing on their ix's with a baseflash.

 

We had 2 in DC get a base flash + MBC and went from ~250whp to ~300whp. It was a local Mustang dyno, but the 250 base means it reads closer to a Dynojet. Regardless, the difference was 40-50whp depending on the pull. They did both install MBCs along with the base flash, though.

 

Warr, were the cars completely stock other than the mbc? If so, what would you expect with a baseflash + mbc + catback+testpipe?

 

around 330whp. i'm not warr, just know from the warr/buschur package.

 

I don't have a downpipe though

 

DP doesn't really make power, but it does help with spool. Any reason you got a cat-back and test pipe without a downpipe? It's usually all bought at once. The mods you have are basically my WT package anyway...

Yes, they only had an MBC with the base flash.

 

I got just a catback and testpipe because i found good deals for them in the used for sale section. Once I get my mbc, I will essentially have your evo IX package for a little over half the price.

 

Yeah, not a bad way to go as long as the used parts are still high quality. You still need to get a downpipe, you'll need a gauge to go higher than 21.75psi (stock gauge, and then the flash itself is not a special Buschur flash without the package. It's still a good route to take on a budget (yours, that is).

 

way to put me down

 

I had a mail-in base flash from Al and I dynoed my evo April 18 and I got 304/304 with 91oct. At that time I didn't have the LICP nor the HyperSun ignition. I will be taking it back to the dyno soon to see how it does now with the new mods.

 

As soon as I get mine (10 days and counting), I'll post up dyno and track numbers as compared to my stock numbers; Looking forward to it.

 

thank you sir

 

Look in my signature....or previous threads

Baslined around 250 and posted ~300 whp afterwards with just flash and MBC....Nothing else....

 

look at my signature, also dyno it with c-16 race gas and got 347whp and 340 max torque I think was 23 psi.

 

On a turbo car any backpressure causes power loss. The most ideal way to run is w/o any exhaust after the turbo. That will give you the most power. But we cannot do that on the street. So the biggest diameter dp/cat-back/tp you can fit under your car will be the one that will give you the most power on a turbo car.

The stock dp is a restriction that causes backpressure which costs you power. That is why people switch them with larger diameter ones. To say that a dp does not make power is incorrect. Anything that causes backpressure on a turbo car costs power. The stock dp is one of them. A bigger diameter dp creates less back pressure, so it will make more power.
