Re-read the post even though its kind of hard to interpret, I think he was trying to say he's only boosting at 23psi

 

Renoevo, yes your right 23 psi is correct. Sorry to throw everyone off by my post. I don't understand...... if the intake and exhaust cams for the ix don't get any power gains at all, unlike the evo 8 do then why do vendors sell these products and have shown us and proven power gains with both cams and just exhaust for the ix? But some of us with ix's don't see it. Why?

 

u might have to wait until HKS releases their MIVEC controller to the states. only then will we know how the IX will do with a cam or cams. but yeah try it with a cam gear & see what happens...

 

But that's the things, there AREN'T vendors doing that. There is only _ONE_ vendor that even sells the IX cams, and that's TurboTrix. Everyone else is just taking an VIII exhaust cam and installing it since it fits. However, people AREN'T making power with the exhaust cam, and only the one car owned by TT made great power with the $900 cams. They may advertise based off that one car, which is proper and in no way false, but we just haven't seen regular Evo owners make good power with them...dunno why.

 

I sounds like he's spiking to 26psi and holding @23psi.

 

Thats what I thought as well.

 

so who wants a brand new hks 272 exhaust cam? hahahahaha

 

If you have the time and money, you could always do a before and after the cam dyno run, to see if there truely is no difference.

 

Dude READ THE POSTS. He said 23psi in post #32

 

hey let's see some more definitive facts like... same car same dyno same day just the cam swap, just one cam.

and let's hear why people think that there is a discrepency.

i think the way the mivec is set up the exhuast lobe centerline is at the most retarded position it could possibly be. so any addtion to the retardation through passive duration increase isn't helpful for making power.

then the intake cam is seperated by 5 degrees so the low end is great. of course there is a flaw in my theory because retarding the exhaust cam to the max would then make for a an intake that is retarded even more to make up for it.

so maybe in the end the exhuast cam has very little effect either way. and it's mostly in the intake which then can sweep the most efficient low end and then optimise top end. it is true the most important valve event is the closing of the intake...

thots people.

 

i wouldn't call 374hp "great" but others might. i would think it should be more than that given the bigger stock turbo and other mods to go with it. not saying that the hp made wasn't good, i just thought personally that it wasn't great power. i was thinking real close to 400hp would've been accomplished. just my opinion so noone start flaming. i think TT is a great company and i give them the upmost respect for coming out with the first set of cams for the 9. i just thought since the 9 was making great power with such minimal mods that when the cams were added we would've seen close to the 390+ range tuned with the new mivec motor.

 

Problem is that not many tune for stock cams, dyno, install cam, tune and dyno again.

 

YOu really would have expected 400whp on pump gas with just the basic mods and cams? We haven't seen any other IX hit 375 with those mods, so I don't know where your high expectations came from. Did you think this car had a lot more mods or something? People haven't hit 400whp on alky and big boost, so I wouldn't have expected it on pump gas with the cams either. Unfortunately, we haven't seen ANOTHER IX make this power with the cams yet...

 

but sometimes it happens if we all ***** enough.

 

And when it does, the testing method is forever questionable.
