John DeMolet from Tunable Induction approached me after I put up my post of 190RWHP, and how I was hoping for more of gain near 193. He offered to let me test his unit at no cost up front to see if I could reach my goal of 193 or better.

So, he sent me a new TI CAI, with NKG spark plugs. I was really excited about the NKG’s because of my pending Zex order. As you can see from the photos, the MAF tube is significantly larger than the stock tube, and it is made out of carbon fiber with a huge air filter.

Now that we have everything installed, it was time to put it on the dyno. Prior to install, we did a dyno run for comparison. Here is what the run was with the AFE:

• 190.0 RWHP
• 203.5 RWTQ

Now, with the Tunable Induction CAI, we got the following:

• 192.0 RWHP
• 200.5 RWTQ

And with Chris (Excessive) making some minor AF changes, the final best was:

• 193.9 RWHP
• 203.6 RWTQ

On all three runs, my max power was observed at 5700 RPM. Once I get in to work, I will actually scan the dyno sheets and post them up. I am open to some suggestions on my TQ numbers, I’m really expecting more than what I have.

Following this, I am going to give John’s (Tunable Induction) SCT tunes a try and put her on the dyno and see what we come up with. Keep in mind that Chris (Excessive) said my car was running rich which is where he prefers it. He didn’t want the car running lean, but that may have something to do with the final numbers.

Another thing I need to do is find out what if Excessive put in the spark plugs before or after these tunes. My guess is after because I think they did the spark plugs with my Zex install. I will be contacting them shortly to find out the specifics.

More to come on this one.

PS: Clean engine compartment questions can be directed to the nearest brick wall. Car has been through several snow falls and I’m not cleaning it till the winter season is over.

did you have a tune when you were running your AFE?

rygenstormlocke

Yes, I did, I had no tune and I had a professional tune. I have a really old dyno sheet somewhere, I have to dig it up, but it was right on the money at 12HP as advertised. Well, very close, it was like 11.9 Talk to afixer, his car was the test mule for the AFE.

[EDIT: Need to make 110% sure on this, I am hunting for the dyno sheet now. Scrming things the dyno sheet I reffered on one run was the magnaflows, cause he has the same straight through muffler type as I do. Researching now!]

3.9 hp over the AFE! And, ya met your goal of 193 (and a bit more)... congrats! Looks great too!

Hello, gentlemen!

And let's see what kind of numbers you post after you get that nitrous up and running....

Oh, I am going in for a dyno run on Monday morning with my current set-up and a 93 Octane tune.

Then I will get a Maganflow X-pipe, a GT take-off midpipe, and run JBA mufflers so that we can see exactly how the duals affects the car.

What time you going in man, I may just have to drive down and check out your dyno session.

rygenstormlocke

Yea, it was about time that Excepcion13 was forum hopping! LOL.

Oh yea, brick wall was just installed. LOL. I think its good for -25 RWHP depending on reinforement.
