Dyno, For all you...yeah Options

[snadman]

For all of you people who STILL feel that exhaust, plugs, and intake will add amazing ammounts of horsepower...I'm going to a dyno on the 28th of June. I will make sure to find this thread and post the graphs so you can see my car isn't a supercar with just those mods. I'm just getting kinda sick of people saying their intake's going to add 15HP, because it's not. I'm sick of people saying that exhaust adds 15HP, cuz it doesn't. AND I'm sick of people saying that plugs make so much more of a difference...

-For the intake, I may see a few HP, nothing big though or noticeable.
-Exhaust same as intake...you're actually just freeing up HP you already had with better flow (learned the exact details from Exhaust 101 in Import Tuner)
-Plugs...may add something, but not much. I've seen it where plugs don't do anything, but I've also seen minimal HP increases. I'm guessing it won't be anything and basically upgrading to expensive plugs on an NA Celica isn't going to help much.

**PLEASE don't take my whole plugs rant seriously if you run nitrous or turbo. You guys need good plugs, cold plugs! This is for NA Celica's only!

Yeah, the night before, I'm going to take off everything...except the exhaust. I'm going to put OEM plugs back in and the factory air intake assembly. Only thing I can't undo is the exhaust (welded on dar). I do one run with just exhaust, the with intake added, then with plugs in...and before each run I will reset the ECU and rev a bit to let it learn again. We'll see what they can do, maybe they'll cut me a deal and let me a fourth run...then I will do the three I mentioned without resetting then a fourth with resetting it with all the mods...just to teach everyone to reset their damned ECUs after they install mods...

Yes, and this Racing Tape I sell at NAPA where I work...it adds 50...guaranteed!

NOT! No offense, but that's dumb...body kit adding horsepower? If anything, it may increase the top speed before your call starts going everywhere....if the body kit is functional that is and creates downforce. That will help so your ride isn't all over the road at super high speeds...but that's about it. It's all for looks.

And yeah man I did see that Supra. That was a good gain. With turbo, you want big exhaust too...and that's what they did. With our NA's...no way.

And to BlackCelicaGT4: How do you know it added 6HP? Not that I don't believe you, but what's your setup? If you added a nice header, then I'm sure you get that. That's great though to get 6...you must have the right combination of parts and sizes of exhaust. My hat is tipped to you.
