Near Stock v. OFT Stage 2 Dyno
Just reporting the results of some dyno testing.
Runs 1 & 2 were with: - stock tune - Perrin non-resonated CBE Runs 4 & 5 were with: - OFT Stage 2 - JDL catless UEL header - JDL overpipe - Magnaflow catted/resonated FP - Perrin resonated CBE - K&N drop-in The baseline runs were really promising, making 177 whp with just an exhaust. (I was told stock cars usually dyno around 165 whp on this dyno, so maybe all the track days broke in the engine well.) But the stage 2 runs were disappointing, making only 178 whp. One thing to note: We literally installed the parts and put it straight on the dyno, so not sure if the ECU needs time to adapt maybe? @Shiv@Openflash Or the exhaust components need time to break in, not sure. Or perhaps the coolant temps dropped out of optimal. There's a lot of possible explanations, so probably best not to jump to conclusions yet. The good thing is it sounds amazing. I was worried about how loud it would be, but it's actually pretty tame. Slightly louder than before, but with a muted rumble to the sound. I've been driving around the past few days just listening to the exhaust purr. I'm going to take the car to the track this weekend and properly put it through its paces.

Most definitely needs time to adjust after a flash.

not really likely that all of those mods only added 2 hp

Give the car 100 miles to learn the fuel trims etc, then dyno again.

177 is the highest ive seen for a stock car. Not believing you only gain 2hps. And you should get E85 in there, if you have access to it |

Have you tried getting a real tune specifically for your mods? You will see much better gains for sure..
Generic tunes are always going to be conservative and not be able to take full advantage of mods, that's just there nature. Also, take actual numbers (IE the 177rwhp starting point) with a grain of salt, every dyno will read differently and vary day to day. The same car could make 155hp on one dyno and 175hp on a different dyno a week later. The 4000rpm area looks to have seen some gains at least..

To the OP, the ECU definitely needs time to learn.
The actual numbers really don't matter, just the relative change. |

That's disappointing about only getting 2whp out of the tune and exhaust mods. I'm planning on doing similar mods this winter and hoping to get up around 200whp, but we'll have to see. Hopefully giving the car a chance to learn it will pick up some more power. Also, you said you are taking it to the track this weekend. Are you the other FR-S signed up for Summit Point Main with NASA Mid Atlantic? If so, I'll see you there. I'll be running in Time Trials. |

I believe OFT stage 1 alone adds 3-5hp to bone stock cars so I would be disappointed too.

Give the ECU time to adjust?????
Isnt the point of a tune to change your ECU to work with the mods??????????? I'd be freaking pissed and demand a refund if a stage 2 tune gave me 3 whp with that list of mods. No waiting on a ECU learning period, something is wrong with that tune. |

Lol... So much butt is hurt in this thread its hilarious....
Why would you not contact Shiv before doing anything else? I would have called him from the Dyno. He stands behind what he does and will sort this out, but at least give the guy a chance before you make a public thread bashing his livelihood.... Damn. Also, the area under the curve looks like you picked up good power to me. |

Some good comments on here. One thing I want to caution is not to jump to conclusions too early. The car went straight from lift to dyno and the engine hadn't been run in about 2-3 hrs. Could be a number of explanations, which I'm hoping Shiv or other tuners can shed some light on.

Also 177 whp is pretty high for sure, but it was repeatable. Looks like ja1217 was saying he dyno'd at 181. I think these engines gain a decent amount of power after breaking in at the track. Quote:

Thanks, that makes me wonder if it had to do with coolant temperature then.
