FR-S Dyno testing at DD Performance Research inc. 2ZZ comparison
 

We strapped the new FR-S down on the dyno last night with less than 150 miles on the ODO. (probably a few more ponies on the table once it is broken in further - we will dyno again at higher mileage).

Run 004 was in 3rd run 007 and 008 were in 4th:

Run 010 was in 5th, and we saw a huge jump in mid-range torque, despite a richer afr. These were sampled at the tailpipe min you so they are post cat readings.

A comparison between a 25K miles stock Elise with the 190hp tuned 2zz-ge and the new stock FR-S:

2zz also had a 10% better final drive, the car feels as fast as my Celica but the frs def has more tq

looking good! love that TQ~!

wow, there is a big difference in horsepower from 4500 to 7000 rpm not to mention the torque all throughout. Plus this is comparing to a tuned 2zz.

Too bad the Elise has a 700-something pound weight advantage ;)

Its the Lotus Factory tune. It just makes 10 HP more than the toyota factory tune does.

I would say you defiantly feel like you have more power after 200 miles on it. or it could just be i konw how to drive it better now :)

I miss the kick of my vvtli, and the GT-S still feels faster. But a lot of faster cars somehow feel slower than the GT-S.

How fast a car feels is mostly in the gearing, but variable valve/intake magic will do that too.

gggooooooddd this thing has more HP than my lude even though it suffers more drivetrain loss. the fkkk!!!! torque is aroudn teh same though so im happy about that

nice dave!

Definitely a bit better powerband than the Elise. Can't really say if it's 'faster' though.

Track numbers to go with the dyno numbers:

We took our new FR-S to the track today. It was pretty hot most of the day, but we wound up with some decent times.

Here is the best of the night with our FR-S full interior full vehicle weight (including spare/jack) With a 10-15mph headwind and a humid 84*F, Car # 592;

Here is the best of the night with minor weight reduction (spare & jack removed, rear seats removed) & intake filter removed with a 10-15 mph headwind and a humid 80*F Car #592;

Both of these were with Jason (My shop manager) at the wheel. My best for the night was a 15.10.

All in all I am pleased and unsurprised by these numbers - they are exactly what we expected from the dyno and articles already published.

Nice - any videos?

Yes boosted took a few videos, and I took some of him as well. My Fiance I think got vids of all the runs.

Should be able to get those up on our youtube channel later.
