Perrin Exhaust claims, fishy????
So tonight I was planning on making my exhaust purchase and had it narrowed down between two choices, the borla or the perrin (non resonated).
I was looking on Perrins site and noticed I could also get a front pipe as well. Perrin claimed roughly +7hp for the catback and then another 5+ for the front pipe as well. I was thinking "sweet, maybe I should get both". Then I looked at the dyno charts on Perrins website for both. The dyno charts did not look right. I was seeing the same gain on both dyno charts. Their catback dyno is a comparison of stock exhaust and their exhaust showing 165hp for stock vs 172hp for theirs. Their front pipe dyno is a comparison of their catback only vs their catback plus the front pipe. Their catback shows 167hp and their catback plus front pipe shows 172. Why are the hp numbers and graphs almost identical between the two?? Maybe I am misunderstanding something so if anyone from Perrin sees this could you please comment? |

Dynos were done at different times under different conditions.
There is a margin of error. You're talking about a difference of 5 peak HP between the two "catback runs". Those to things can easily cause that.

Also keep in mind they use a dynapack. It's a dyno that measures horsepower a bit differently because it doesn't account for rolling resistance or load. They are usually called "sales" dynos because of their generous nature. Great for tuning, though because they give very consistent results.

Thanks for the updates.
The blog helps explain a lot and so does the DSport Mag article. So now I will ask this, if the blog is correct and the ECU is in fact limiting tourque and hp, does this mean that no matter what mods I do to my car I will hit a wall unless I get a tune? |

The stuff makes power, its design is dyno driven and dyno proven
what more can I tell you? Not every shop making a system can say that. I can run anything I want to make power. There just isnt any other option that makes sense from a design standpoint for me, so this remains our holy grail... Quote:

Ya sometimes the dyno graphs can be confusing because they were not all done at the same time. This is a good example of that. We did the catback results one day, (very repeatable), then the next did the front pipe stuff.
The other slightly confusuing thing is the numbers you see in the boxes, this just represents where the cursor is at on the software. You can see that we didn't compare the peak power on each run, but rather areas we thought were important. What is boils down to is the variance in HP on the car. We have see this be a huge factor for showing dyno results on things. In fact I experienced this last weekend tuning. I was making 193 WHP on our NA car and the next day it was down about 10 HP. At least until the engine got about 20 pulls into the day and got fully warmed up. Oil temps are key to making power. HP is lost until the oil gets to about 80-90C, then then engine is good and happy. Then it seems to loose power as oil temps go above 105C. Here is a dyno graph showing the huge variance in HP as a car that is fully warmed up, goes through about 14 pulls on the dyno. More info about why you want an oil cooler can be found here! If you have more questions about this, let us know! Also check out the blog, there is a BRZ section that has more info as well. |
