Fast Intentions exhaust is here! (continued)

dmhenderson · 11-25-2012, 11:55 AM

Should probably note that if you're putting cats on the car along with your exhaust, you're going to need a tune or you will get horrible low-end torque. If you're just doing the CBE, you probably don't need it but like Tony said, it couldn't hurt.

I deleted my cats with test pipes and I don't lose any low torque or need a tune

That's odd. The reduced pressure from the larger cats should have a negative effect at the very least, shouldn't it?

ya i just got my akuma intakes on my car and just with a small tune from jogn there my car has been running great even with the colder weather. in spring though i would like to get a full tune. i'm atleast gonna do a few dyno pulls to see where i'm at.

dmhenderson · 11-26-2012, 11:56 AM

Had to move my install/tune appt to next Monday due to weather in the area and it looks like I lost a day on my delivery time due to the holiday. Tuner is going on vacation Wed-Fri

dmhenderson · 11-26-2012, 11:59 AM

The difference in the cold between my base w/o intakes and the nismo with the G3s is night and day.

dmhenderson · 11-26-2012, 12:01 PM

I'm going to drop the car off at the shop at ~10am on Monday and go fart around Fair Oaks mall for a while or something then come back for the dyno pull(s) and tune.

yea a tune will help bu like tony even said just exhaust doesnt require one. i ran for about 12500 miles with my CBE and TPs and never had one problem without a tune.

So what number are we on now?

Quick formula to properly dyno your car for the most accurate final numbers.

The dyno technician should now how to properly tie your car down and calibrate the dyno for the gears you have in your rear end.

1) Make sure your car is dyno tested in the 1:1 gear. It is 5th gear for both the Manual and Automatic Transmissions.

2) As soon as the car is strapped down and ready to go, do a 1st baseline pull. Now let the car sit and cool for about 6-8 minutes in between (each) run with the fans from the dyno bay cooling the engine area. Do this process for 5-7 runs total. You will see that if properly done, your car will react more favorably as each run is recorded. Runs 6-7 should be virtually identical with not much increase and this will be your sign that you are finished.

Now if you are tuning your car, I would still do everything the same except add runs 8,9 and 10 as the "tuning runs".

Now some people might not agree with this exact method but we have found that this specific car loves to be dynoed this way. Obviously each dyno is different and some might require a few less dyno runs overall, so just use this is more of a template then.

If anyone has any questions on any of this please do not hesitate to call me directly.

Thank you, Tony
