Of course there is plenty of space. The picture is just to show the harness connected.

oh sorry :S Thanks for clarifying.

How did you break in the motor to get the excellent results? PM me because I will want to mirror your power results thus far. :)

That won't be a problem, just visit a poorly calibrated inertial dynomometer. Inertial dynos sure is optimistic, but then again anything that accelerates a fixed mass drum would be. One should only trust an eddy current brake dyno for anything but comparing the delta on the same vehicle under the same conditions after a change. In real life your engine and drive train are loaded, on an inertial they are not.

The Dyno was a Dynojet 424LCX with Twin Eddy's.

Break in? Lots of acceleration and LOTS of Deceleration.

Interesting, that model must have very small PAUs. I guess the number would be left to calibration and/or the fact that they did not apply a correction factor as is specified in the graph. Was it having tach signal drop out issues? It would appear that it was having said issue on a few of those graphs.

It may be our clean green air up here, another car dynoed on a similar dynojet locally and put out 171hp in 4th gear. Ours did 175hp in 4th.

I could see it on a cool day with decent humidity and no correction factor, much like what is written on the detail portion of the graph. Corrected number will be a bit lower with out a doubt, more in line with the corrected numbers we have been seeing.

Pacific Raceways
 

Took the FR-S out to Pacific Raceways in Kent Washington Today.

Car handled great, real steady and predictable.

We ran the car with the stock tires. This and the brake pads was our major bottle neck. The tires... well, do I really need to say anything?
The brake pads were fading quite badly and wearing out quickly.

After a few laps we reduced compression on the fronts by one click curing a bit of harshness that was upsetting balance.

Fastest time of the day was min1:45.25

All in all quite impressed. Will now need tires and a sway bar matching then Brakes deffinately.

So the set up of the car today was:
lighter battery
KW V3 Coilovers lowered 1.25 inches
Dot 5 brake fluid
no spare tire
no radio in dash (lap timer installed instead)
K&N Drop in Air Filter
HKS oil filter
Mobil 1 0w/40 oil
