why wait?... Installed it now...

Gotta agree. If kohei was tuned by PRE then my factory tune with all my bolt ons put out just as much as his tuned brz. Just saying

Sothe thread title says 'TUNED' but the car wasn't tuned with the header for the dyno runs?

Thanks Bob. That's exactly it. I think it's important to show the true benefit of a header compared to a proper tune.

@Drift-Office - Maybe i'm misunderstanding, but you said you sourced two smaller bolts to fix the leak, but the issue I had (and see with your photo) is that the bolt head is too small to cover the header hole for the bolt. So replacing it with smaller bolts helped how?

I saw your orginal post, but just wasn't sure what you meant. Maybe i'm just tired, and stupid. Or both

@Drift-Office - Any chance you'll be doing a comparison with the JDL EL header in the future?

I hope so! The HKS and T1R EL headers are currently at the top of the charts in terms of power output and need some competition! This was GT86 #41 that's been dyno tuned at my facility, so odds are, there will be someone else who will have one of the JDL ones and soon *I hope!*

Each of the dyno runs showed the respective PRETUNE run (in blue) and the final TUNED run (in red) based on the gear sans the last graph which showed the TUNED header with the STOCK paper filter (in blue) and the AVO Panel Filter (in red).

awwwwwww yeah some health "competition"

@Drift-Office have you noticed a correlation between output and cars that have been fully broken in.

Say sub 5k miles vs 10k-20k miles. I read somewhere that a shop car who had been dyno'd multiple times ended up gaining ~10whp from that.

do you do etunes?

Just install it

Great results, Bob! I'm loving the power from my BRZ with the JDL UEL, 2.5" PLM overpipe, WORKS Axleback, and VMS Cold air intake with an E85 tune all dialed in nicely. It pulls SO much harder through the midrange all the way to redline!

[PoWn3d_0704]

So I've got a Perrin 3" catback and front pipe with stock overpipe/headers. Drop in KnN with he Perrin inlet. pretty much the supporting intake/exhaust to make optimal power with these headers. I would love to have you guys tune mine in the future. Be interesting to see the gain of the header on a more free-flowing system.

Well, chances are - by the time you get 20k miles, that would be about a year's worth of driving for most. Conditions would have changed, air filters wouldn't optimal, gas quality might be different as well. More importantly, you'd be in a different season altogether and the ambient temp in the dyno cell could be advantageous to that ~10WHP gain.

I can however, show you my baselines of my car when I did it right off the showroom floor and at 1000 miles. Thereafter @ 5000, I had a panel filter installed. All of which didn't make that much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. So to answer your question, I haven't really seen anything to correlate one theory or the other.



Cheers!
