Regardless the mrev2 will give him power he didnt have the torque converter will rob him power never-the-less, but it'll give him just a bit more.

 

^ True, if the OP adds the mrev2, he will gain some performance. But if he didn't feel any difference after adding the spacer, he sure won't feel anything if he adds the mrev2.

 

Out of curiousity - AltimanGxe, did you ever dyno your car after the mods? Did you notice and SOTP gains from stock? We all know a CAI and an exhaust 'sound' powerful. Wondering what works on the G.

Seems stock they did a hell of a job pulling the ponies from this motor. AG, you ever take the car to the track???

Thx for the hints!

 

Ok this is bugging me. What's SOTP? FYI OP, if you plan to squeeze out all the power while still being NA, it get very expensive.

 

Some of the parts or seat of pants? haha

 

Jake,

Yes I did notice a bit of power from the spacer. I purchased the 1/2inch Aramid Gasket, and Throttle Body Coolant Bypass.

I do not have the rev-up engine.

In stock form the car made 200whp / 200 wtq.

Mind you I have the 2003 Sedan with the OLD ECU. The timing is not as aggresive.


After installing the Z-Tupe and Putting the Drop in K&N I did notice some gains. and definetly a change in the intake noise.

I dynod the car after every mod change with a before and after at the dyno.

The Ztube K&N vs stock i gained 15-20whp depending on how much rest I gave the engine between pulls (it gets hot down here in Miami)

It was incredible. I had a lot of skeptics but I don't have any affiliation with K&N or a Ztube lol.. The dyno was on par and calibrated correctly. After adding the Spacer I did notice 1 thing. I didnt make power. I held the power consistently but didnt make anything additional. I was dissapointed. But what I noticed was the air fuel ratio was high. I was in the high 15's dropping down to 11's by redline

15 a/f is DEADLY = pinging and/or detonation

11 a/f is for boost = kills power for n/a.

Since I couldnt tune I was at a loss. ECU sucks to this date I am trying to find a way around it.

So then, I decided to take it to the dealership and had them put the Consult 2. They saw the car was running lean. They cleaned the ecu somehow and made the ecu relearn the idle air.

I then re did my dyno and instantly went from 220whp to 230. the temperature humidity and heat soak on the engine was very similar the air fuel was now dead on 14's going down to low 13's to upper 12
s by redline. I wish I can keep the a/f clean 13's across the board but it is what it is..

a Week later i went back to the dealer paid a mech some cash and had him bump the timing 2 degree advanced.

took the car back and noticed a slight increase of power sooner and gained about 5whp.

So to sum it all up. Yes I did notice power and the dyno confirmed it.

here is an OLD thread from a different forum I posted on a lot.

the pics got deleted since the company i hosted for went under and i forgot to swap everything out and deleted their account from my server.

 

Seat of pants ( butt dyno )

 

Now that is very hard to believe. Any dyno sheets?

 

If you notice the date on that forum...


those red x's were the dyno sheets. I would have to find the computer i had back then to find those pics... it was really back then

 

Was your intake plugged with a rock? 15whp from an intake is way beyond unheard of with our cars

 

Sorry man, I too find this hard to believe. The Cobb access port was the only mod that yielded that kind of gain for me.

 

My exact first saw when I saw the thread. The other thing is that, it's an auto. 6mt's respond significantly better to breather mods. There's even multiple threads on here on, "What's the purpose of dropping breather mods on an auto". I'm not not saying to not mod, or mod an auto, I'm just quoting the threads.

 

as i aforementioned this was dyno proven by me on the spot back in 2006 on my car

 

You realize he is auto right? The spacers do much more for them then revup 6mts, unlike the mrev system. And auto/6mt (nonrevup) are the same engine just a different transmission so breather mods will cause the same change in horsepower.

 

Correction,

It'll cause change in power. But never the less the auto will drain more power due to the torque converter. Regardless, it is power that he did not have. So then the question for him is to reason the gains for the money dished out.
