Dyno Matchup between A/T FR-S and SI
 

This video surprised the crap out of me because I thought the A/T plus RWD would make the FR-S whp significantly lower than the 2.4L SI.

Factor the weight difference ... equals lots of fun in the FR-S

10 second 0-60? I didn't watch the video at all and just forwarded to the dyno plots but something seems fishy about that unless my little sister was driving. a tundra does a 0-60 in like 8 seconds.

I`m guessing high altitude or bad dyno calibration for acceleration because I can't see taking 10s to get to 60, and 16s to get past the 1/4 mile.

it should make less but the frs has a TRD exhaust so that helped bump it up a little.

who the hell does "quarter mile" and 0-60 runs on a dyno?

Si is MT
FRS is AT

You think the exhaust made all the difference?

these people do! and its awesome!

Maybe 5hp lol so really less than 150hp to the wheels ...seeing as the civic is stock I say even if it was a mt frs(stock) it would still lose the numbers game.

wot the fock...:bow:

dang she has a long neck

Agreed. Crazy, looks fun though!

The FRS having an exhaust does help due to less restrictions, therefore creating more whp.

Yeah but I have a hard time believing that a 5 hp exhaust can make up for a huge difference when the SI is manual and FWD. It has the opposite of the FR-S with a Automatic and RWD.

I'm surprised that the k24 2.4 liter motor is making such little power.

Exactly! It's supposed to make 205 chp and 174 ctq and I would think the torque difference would also be about 20lb-ft of difference on a dyno. And at least 15 whp difference on the dyno because of the greater parasitic loss of RWD and Automatic.

I think it's very telling that when the video clip finishes, we have a choice of six other HONDA reviews to watch. Literally, just Hondas, looks like probably their whole lineup.

2015 Accord LX
2015 Civic Si coupe
2015 Fit EX-L
2015 CR-V Touring
2015 Odyssey LX
2015 Pilot SE

Numbers look to be in the correct range, not bad for the Mustang dyno. I made 159whp/130tq on a Dynojet with my A/T that only has an axle-back and a drop in filter.

LOL @ 1/4-mile and 0-60 runs on a dyno

The host's hand movements are way distracting

What the hell did I just watch? :barf:

A manual Si compared to an auto FRS...?

The FRS wasn't bone stock either, since the TRD exhaust is not technically on every car...

Their numbers for both cars also look way off (altitude/temp. issues notwithstanding)
