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!

That was rather pointless lol. I already addressed the issue that you can do things to other that will help them a lot more than they would help our Celica's. For instance what I said about exhaust up there...forced induction cars will benefit more from better flow than our NA Celicas would, or any NA car for that matter. I know the RSX isn't forced induction, but you must look at how the head is designed. It designed to allow a lot more fuel and air to come in than our Celica's which have certain restrictions as to how far they can be pushed. The RSX is a modern marvel in getting the most out of small engines without forced induction. If you get Honda's performance package with it, there are maybe 3 bolt on mods and it adds tremendous horsepower. It's just the way that engine was designed.

BTW, for those of you looking to see how our figures will come out. on Celica.net, they have a DynoGraph forum. Go check there and see the dynograph for the 93 GT with intake, exhaust, plugs, wires, ignition. Only grabbed 102.7 (I think goin off memory cuz I'm too lazy to look) and that has the same engine has our GT's.

[EDIT]As I reread my post, sorry didn't mean to sound like a dick in the first paragraph...I didn't mean it that way at all. I actually thank you for posting some actual stats that do show some cars CAN benefit from these bolt ons a lot.[/EDIT]
