Dyno and LOTS of Data Analysis!

[Strat_FRS]

I think you guys will enjoy the comparisons and data analysis in this latest video.

Wow 215 whp. Lots of comparisons here, cool video.

It's a very strong performer. This is also on our Mustang dyno which is a heartbreaker and routinely reads 14% below a dynojet.

Very good info, thanks for the test.

Crazy impressive that this car still did 35-40 hp/tq over a TUNED gen 1 with bolt ons. I am so damn excited to get mine. I was super skeptical at first, but more and more dynos show just how much better this new engine is. Hyped.

Very good results!
@Strat_FRS what was you run in procedure?

[Kona61]

Excellent, this removes any doubts I had prior. That’s a very impressive result.

Welp, I think I know what my next car will be...Was thinking about going all-out for an M2 or nice C7, but I'd never push those cars to their limit, which is wasted potential, and I'd feel terrible racking up the amount of miles I tend to drive. GR86/BRZ is perfect for a daily and as a fun car, plus it's affordable. The performance is pretty exciting! I think Subaru underrated this engine.

the tldr;

fist gen with tune, header, catback, pump gas: 177 whp and 134 ft/lbs
2nd gen bone stock : 214 whp and 175 ft/lbs

Results on a mustang dyno

I'm so happy with these results. Look forward to N/A 250whp once my warranty runs out.

After about 150km started driving it hard. The mileage at this test was 600km. These engines are fairly well broken in from the factory and you don't want to baby it too much.

The car has a lot of potential. For a driver's car it is a sweet spot where you can explore the performance everyday and enjoy it. If you like to modify and tweak and learn and grow with the car this also offers a lot of opportunities just like the Gen1 did. They improved a lot of things about the car without adding downsides. And keep in mind quite a bit of the chassis and feel also carries over from the Gen1.

Hmm, what's the purpose of the 1000 miles break in which is in the manual then? I'm just curious.

[RToyo86]

Makes me think they underrated advertised power this time around vs the first gen being more overrated unless you ran optimal fuel.

To mitigate the potential of people that will drive like fucking idiots, pedal to the floor non stop. There's a middle ground to respect, you can rev out the engine but just have to be reasonable.
