It's OK, this is a forum. You are allowed to be retarded. :wink2:

Stockish RX8 (it did have a REVi intake) made 170-180whp. The graph shows the middle of 6 stock runs where it made 177whp. With the catback and catless race pipe installed it made 199-205whp. Middle run was 201whp.

Measuring your horsepower depends on whose yardstick you use.

Mustang dyno's get the lowest numbers 140-160 Dynojets are more optimisitic 170-189 and since this is the first dynapack on the forum that i know of i really can't do a comparison, but it would seem to be even more optimisitic than dynojets. ITS JUST A NUMBER not anyway a real world value, tune tool not true statement of what your car puts to the ground

Nathan/Mark do you have a machine to meaure AFR as well?

Are the whp numbers you quoted above stock RX8 whp numbers? If so, I don't see how you say the Dynapack is "more optimistic" than the dynojet. We made with 171-180whp with a REVi intake on the car.

In any case, however, I agree that a dyno is a tuning tool and a tool for measuring relative whp gains. Do not try to compare our absolute numbers to anyone elses. However, you can compare them to other cars on this dyno.

We not only have a wideband, but we make them. We did not hook it up for any of this testing, however. Frankly, until we have a device to control fuelling, there's not a lot of point in measuring what it is. The car was running rich as hell though as evidenced by the backfiring and occasional flame out the tailpipes. We can hook one up on your car if you like when you come in next week.

it's not really necessary though since the pipe size is staying the same, which cuts the flow in half for each leg, I'm willing to bet that a straight tee in this location won't show any measurable difference on the dyno :wink2:

The Dyno though... hmmm....

I'll post a pic of it on the car by sunday. And the car feels a great deal faster then before the install...and I havent even been pushing it that hard.

EDIT: Keep in mind the reduction of about 21bs off the stock system

I was only hazzarding a guess, his car might make 162rwhp on a dynojet theres real not much of a point but we can do such a comparison when i swing by most recently my dynos are around 177-180 on a dynojet. Then again this will be my first dyno on "R" flash.

Im just curious to see how much the lamdas will get much leaner with the addtion of a racepipe. If its not to much trouble to take the stock one out of the CAT then lets do it, i know that the threads in there might be pretty difficult to get out.

cat out of the bag ...
 
I have a super hi-flo cat converter that will keep it emissions legal without any loss of performance, it will flow virtually equivalent to a straight piece of pipe

he don't know me very well, do he ;)

I prefer not to impose on the TurboXS thread any further, I was just pointing out that you can have your cake and eat it to with the right parts

That would definitely flow nicely. One of the worst things about a cat isn't the ceramic element inside but rather the end tanks. It is possible to double and sometimes even triple the flow of a cat just by changing the endtank design to one like that.

Armaant 12-05-2005 01:36 PM

Ok so the car threw a cel. I tried resetting the ecu and the cel came back on. I've gone through the searches and after all the work with finals im to tired to run through the tons of pages to find the fix. Can someone please post what the generally agreed cel fix is and where to get it? I pm'd gtaw in case that one works.

Thanks

cleoent 12-05-2005 02:24 PM

anxiously waiting for pics and sound clip... :-D

Moostafa29 12-05-2005 02:42 PM

Armaant, you are running a midpipe/racepipe right? I think most members running those are getting cels. Its normal.

I don't think they are a forum vendor, so they can't list prices :nono: . Try calling them. They will probably give you a price over the phone no problem since thats not advertising.

Moonrover333 12-05-2005 10:39 PM

Moonover once again he CANNOT advertise pricing here until he pays a vendor fee stop pushing the issue.
