My Dyno day with Motordyne Bolt-ons..
Hello,
I don't post much here at all, but I figure this will benefit all those interested in purchasing one of the many Motordyne Bolt-ons.
For those who are in the Toronto/GTA, I would highly recommend visiting APH for all your vq needs

First a big thanks to APH –Ed, Brian and Alic.
They were kind enough to help me out with my bolt-on dyno test,
If any of you guys are were ever contemplating hitting the dyno to see how much power your z is putting down, stop thinking and just do it. Head over to APH and talk to Edward, he will get you hooked up and spinning in no time.
I feel 100x better knowing that the mods I purchased actually made power and were not a waste of money.
Thanks again guys. I asked a lot and none of you threw tools at me…

Also a big must go out to Hydrazine (Tony@Motordyne). A great guy and very knowledgeable individual, who is always willing to lend helping hand. He also happens to make some of the best bang for the $$ mods available for our rides.
Thanks Tony.
The reason:
I don’t believe in ricer math... and having previously installed these mods on my 35th anny, with regrettably only a post dyno, I figured that given a second shot, I would dyno each mod separately to see exactly what gains were made with the addition of basic bolt-ons.
All tests were completed on the same day (within a few hours), same dynopack.
The zed:
2006 GT PPW
-Stock with the exception of a y-pipe back Blitz exhaust. 2.75”
The parts:
Motordyne 5/16th Copper Iso Thermal spacer
Motordyne Mrev2
Motordyne XYZ y-pipe (with straight pipe)
Baseline Dyno
– This run shows 219whp/ 219ft/lbs
Motordyne XYZ pipe
– This run shows a solid increase in both Torque and HP. Torque is a soild 10ft/lbs across the powerband, starting at around 3800 rpm al the way to redline. HP shows an increase of 10whp starting at around 4200 rpm, with a big jump starting at 5250 rpm with great gains all the way to redline.
Overlay of the xyz pipe vs baseline
Motordyne Mrev2 & 5/16th Iso Copper Thermal spacer (compared to xyz pipe)
- This run proves that the combination of Motordyne’s Mrev2 and 5/16th spacer makes power. This shows 20+whp and 20+ft/lbs. Proves to me that this is hands down, the best bang for the buck rev-up engine mod.
Overlay of the Mrev2, Spacer xyz pipe vs xyz pipe
Overlay between Mrev2, Spacer and xyz pipe vs baseline … Increases are clearly visible.
My best run of the day saw 240whp/ 238 ft/lbs, I was more then satisfied with the outcome. Car definitely pulls harder in all gears and the audible change was a welcome addition.
I hope this post helps revup owners who are looking into similar mods. This thread, along with many others should prove that you can't go wrong with Motordyne bolt-ons. They make power.

nice... i love very detailed posts like this.
am i just dumb though or what's up with the numbers on the right column highlighted in teal not matching up with the actual torque shown on the graphs?

Those are the torque numbers at 5704, not peak torque. (Numbers are taken from where the vertical bar is located).
Great overall numbers, but can anyone explain the decrease in both torque and HP from 2100-2800 RPM?

That is to be expected. The XYZ pipe has larger diameter primaries than the stock Y pipe. Its a trade, but overall its a trade well worth doing.
In development, I also tested a 2.25" version of the XYZ pipe. It had a little more TQ in the 1500-3000 RPM range but then it lost about 2-3 HP over the rest of the curve above ~3500 RPM. 2.25" wasn't a good trade.
2.5" primaries provided the best overall results.

Great gains! I wish I had a revup engine to get these gains. Did you get a tune or rectify the AFR after the install? When I did my before/after, my AFR were all over the place.
BTW, what model of the Z is the 2006 GT PPW?

tony, i have a question for you. i have read in some other threads how some people complain about the lower hp right at redline with the mrev2 and 5/16" spacer, which is a small price to pay for all the hp gains thru out the rev range. do you think that the mrev2, 1/2" spacer and xyz pipe would take care of that problem w/o taking away power from the rest of the powerband?
