Considering the stock car with a tune made 179whp it's like everyone said, most aftermarket intakes don't make that much of a difference on the 1st gen considering the best one made 183whp, and it's not like those gains stack. I have seen enough datalogs on aftermarket intakes to say I would be surprised D-Sport got those numbers without at least some maf scaling correction. Most need a good bit of rescaling, my perrin had LTFT's off around +10%. I have always been suspicious of their tests, but then again they do want to keep the companies that pay for adds on their website happy.

Well any support at all would be a step up.

If you want a custom tune and superior customer service (and are willing to pay for it), by all means you should definitely buy Ecutek. |

I wasn't around so I don't know what/how things happened. And obviously being a late, late adopter, I received the benefit of what everyone else went through. Indeed, it will be hard for me to decide what to do if/when OFT provides a Gen 2 solution as I would love what I believe will be similar gains on Gen 2 for a similar set-up (OFT/catless headers/e85). But I also don't want to be an OFT (or an EcuTek or anybody else for that matter) guinea pig. Regardless, I do know I really want that option and I don't think endlessly bashing Shiv on these forums is helpful in that especially when I had such a positive experience myself.

I'm just hoping it doesn't go the way of the ND2 Miata, where they just decided it wasn't worth the effort. So there is no Ecutek option for the ND1, which is why you aren't seeing a CARB legal Edelbrock kit for it, for example. It will be a real bummer if that happens to the twins. All I can say is I hope everyone emails them, hits them up on social media, etc, so they know the demand is there.

Here's my take on that intake.
Gazoo Racing engineers have made & used it on their 86 and 86GRMN way before GruppeM or other DIYers. With that said, they designed the front bumper area to get certain amount of air/force fed into that intake. Just like other mods, is it worth the price? That's up to the buyer. It might be a bling factor, it might be power factor (even it only give 0.5% more whp). If the buyer thinks it's worth $1,600, sure go for it. 2 yen, Yes, that's an actual GRMN 86 intake manifold. Yes, you could of bought it (there's part #). No, you can't buy it anymore (they discontinued). |
