With all the free time over the weekend, I decided to go dyno my car to get a baseline before and after my OFT stage 1 tune. The car felt like it had a lot of midrange gain with the tune and I wanted to dyno to support it.

Overall Power
Before:
155 HP
135 LBFT

After:
159 HP
140 LBFT

Under the curve gain:
+14 HP
+17 LBFT

The peak gain is slight but the midrange gain is pretty substantial. However, after reading the forum, it seems I shouldn't have flashed it back to stock at the dyno and flash it to stage 1 between pulls. Either way, I'm pretty impressed with it and will be getting another dyno next week when I put on my header and full exhaust.

I went ahead and installed everything today and everything is pretty straight forward on it. As for the Tomei 60S, this is a very loud setup. It's not the loudest I have but maybe I'm just a bitch now and will probably part with the Tomei 60S. As for the header, I really hate the boxer rumble so the UEL is going to be up for sale. On a performance standpoint, I flashed it to OFT Stage 2 and it doesn't seem like there's any gains but I will give it a few hundred miles. I'm starting to toy with the idea of force induction since my last car had 3x the power of the FRS.

Hmm... If you do ever get the Stg 2 tune dyno'd, think you could ask the tuner to overlay the stock, stg1, and stg 2? I think you'd be doing the whole community a favour...

I've scoured the forums looking for dyno plots using the same car as a control, with a baseline, stg 1, and stg 2 comparison, but haven't come across anything. Really curious to see the results.

Nice build! Gets better every time I click on your thread...

Of course, I'll post it once I do it.

I was sick today but my room mate had to go borrow something at the shop so I asked him to take my car.
Here are the dyno #'s with OFT Stage 2, Tomei UEL, Motive overpipe, Invidia catted front pipe,and Tomei 60S.

Before with OFT Stage 1 Only:
159 HP
140 LBFT

After with the full exhaust and OFT Stage 2 UEL map:
159 HP
142 LBFT

Under the curve gain:
+18 HP
+25 LBFT

With the header, it was disappointing not to gain any peak but it was surprising to gain so much in the mid range. This pretty much aligns with the power gains that Tomei published.

After the first 3 pulls, my room mate changed out my filter to the Apexi drop in and we dyno again to see if there were any gains. I didn't expect much since it was a drop in but was pleasantly surprised to see the gain through the entire powerband. The car was able to pick up 7HP and 2FTLB.

Before with full exhaust and OFT Stage 2 UEL map:
159 HP
140 LBFT

After with the full exhaust, Apexi drop in filter and OFT Stage 2 UEL map:
166 HP
144 LBFT

While there, I also had him pick up my new Greddy Evolution GT catback since I couldn't handle the loudness of the Tomei 60S. I'll probably buy a new Tomei EL header and install with the Greddy when I get back from Japan in Feb.

My friend Ken from Godspeed Project also gave me a sticker for the car!

On a side note, since the weathers been chilly and I just sold my last car, I decided to take apart the motor on the old car to see what's salvageable from the blown engine. Bonus point if you know what it is

Rotary 13b!!!

Here is the photo of the Greddy Evolution GT.

Honestly, Greddy exhaust has always been solid and this is no different. Comes with everything you need to bolt onto the front pipe. This systems ditches the donut and replaces the spring bolts for regular bolts.

My Project Mu HC+ and Project Kics R26 just came in! Unfortunately, the r26 is a bit short to my liking on the ZE40 so I may have to sell them.
