Hooray for triple digits! :clap:

Any pics of the dyno plot?

 

I scanned the printout. Let's see if Tony posts it on his website first.

Oh talking about plot I have another torque peak at 2400rpm. Normal for us?

 

I have a 7th gen 7A-FE that's bound to be different in power delivery.

I do know it's common for some cars to have two torque peaks though. Might be the VVTi at work? :dunno:

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I dont think it is a VVTi. Just an '01 front end, which the dyno doesn't measure.

 

I bet it's still a fun project.

 

i think you just need intake manifold+throttle body, intake, headers, catback/full exhaust to see some better gains lol. And yes maybe just due to tune ups needed.

 

Did you get the car dyno'd before on the same dynometer to compare before your mods were put on?

Sounds like it was a Dynapack dyno - bolts to the wheel hubs, instead of running the car on rollers - more compact system. Also keep in mind that there is a lot of variance in readings - I've seen Dynapack put out readings that were +/- 10%-15% peak HP compared to Mustang dynos or Dynojet dynos.

Also depends on the tech running the dynometer and the condition of the dynometer itself. Most have a self-calibration test built-in, but that assumes that everything is factory fresh / factory condition.

 

I believe the dyno numbers are a couple of numbers higher than that.

 

Bet you can get some more HP with the right oil selection

 

Mods make mistakes? Just edit your post and BAM, mistake go bye-bye. :naughty:

 

Great idea!

Or I can just lock then delete the thread and ban the person who pointed out my mistake. :lol:




















EDIT: j/k, sorta

 

I suppose if I'm gonna give a mod a hard time, I might want to also post something on-topic in this thread...

Surprised to hear about the loss with the K&N filter...

I have my own theories about lightweight flywheels; I know they make the car lighter, overall, and they're quicker to get going from a dead stop, but they don't carry inertia as well as their heavier counterparts, so the engine is gonna lose a lot more speed while shifting, and once the thing's spinning (once the engine is started) it just seems like the gains would be minimal vs a heavier flywheel. The only thing I can see it helping, honestly, is maybe putting a tiny bit less wear on your started. People swear by them, but I'd love to see a dyno run before and after swapping out just the flywheel.

 

Should have a speed limiter at 180kph give or take what tires are on the car throwing the speedo off a little. That number even for a 4th gear pull is interesting. If you go back do a third gear pull and go back with some more mods and a tune up
