GOod numbers but its hard to accurately compare ANY two dyno's that were done on different days. Doesn't matter if it was colder or not etc.. Its just NOT accurate.

Good numbers though

 

Not really, SAE corrections takes care of a lot of it. However, you're right in the fact that it won't be an exact science, but it's pretty close as long as the calibration of the dyno is correct.

However, I wouldn't be too happy with the gains seen. It's all in the upper end, how long do you see RPM's above 7000? It seems like just cleaning up the OEM manifold is more than likely better than the S2k manifold for most of us. Though to tell the truth, you probably won't truly realize the gains of the IM until you open up the engine and get some cams in there. That's the next mod that I'd recommend, get the SMSP after you get the cams.

 

Well both days were the same other than the hotter temp so on a cooler day i would only make more power... I see 7k+ a LOT when im racing ..lol... I have seen crower setups that were not doing this good..All in all i was happy.Just tired of hearing the skunk 2 doesnt make power..300$ for 5hp isnt bad..

 

Oh and all i lost was a little hump at 5k...

 

nice numbers

 

Thank you...Im not done..Just wanted to know where i was at.

 

not trying to sounds like an a$$, but shouldnt you be running a little better than a 14 flat? there are some ludes that can hit that pretty close with ease with just bolt ons..Shouldnt you atleast be able to run mid 13's with the juice, especially with your mods?

 

Um..yea , allways has to be one... I go to atlanta dragway EVERY weekend.. I see countless 5th gens run and have NEVER NEVER seen one even get a 14.9 n/a. I have EVERYTHING in my car , back seats , a/c , system...And i race on 17's . I like to race it how i drive it. Now if you can find me a 5th gen running n/a and FULL street trim doing better than a 14.5 i would love to see it..I have rana14.9 n/a and that is the fastest time i have ever seen out of a 5TH gen. Yea i hear all this b.s. on here but i go to tracks all the time and i see that 5th gens are slow heavy cars stock. I have came a LONG way from my 1st 15.7-6 runs{what it runs stock} . Now if you want meto send you my hondata log file of my 14.0 run you can see i dont hook up till 3rd gear. Yea if i gut it and run slicks i would be in the 13s easy but no and i do say NO 5th gen runs low 14s {with out motor work} with ease as you say..

 

Oh it also took a 2.1 60 foot to get the 14.0..So i can drive..

 

Ive seen a full interior prelude with a 100 shot running mid 13's..

 

Sweet ...Yes i am only rnning about a 45 shot..I was maxing out my fuel inject....I have some dsm 450s goin in asap..Then i am gonna have some fun..

 

Oh and the point of this was to prove the sk2 mani does make power...

 

Looks like the Skunk2 loses a little bit of power till up top and makes power at the end of the power band. I guess you sacrifice a few hp down low for more up high.

 

I don't know about you, but I'd bet the transient response (the only thing I care about) is slower with the S2 setup. You'd really need to open up the engine's breathing to take any advantage of that IM. Though the Euro-R has been proven a better manifold if you're willing to modify it.

 

i have the skunk 2 manifold on my boosted lude, i havent taken it to the dyno to see what it will do but it seems to pull hard at the higher rpms..!!

 

get rid of that nos kit and a real nitrous kit like NX.j/p i have a shunk2 i/m and i think it makes more power up top and helps me on nitrous.i wish i would have did a before and after dyno.

5 hp isnt "power"

 

KTELLER....you are a *** hole!!! There was a nice way to say that... I see people pay a lot more for less hp.Screw it all i was doing was a before and after..And all you folks can do is bash me/it...So see if i EVER post before and after **** anymore... You all wonder why no one ever posts **** on here...Please lock this ... Oh and kteller it makes more power than some of your crap!! I would like to see 5 whp out some of your crap . I think 5hp on a stock cam motor is ******* bad ***. So i wish i would have not posted **** , you could sit around and wonder if it makes power..This is what i get every post i make ...SO THIS SITE CAN **** OFF!!!!

 

damn...somone takes things a bit too serious. I do know people with bolt ons in stock, full bodied 5th gens that can pull low 14's Steven Rhodes 97 lude with a JDM H22 and JDM LSD tranny. He had some knock off intake, DC header, Hondata intake manifold gasket, MSD coil, and a Magnaflow exhaust w/a high flow cat. I am the one who converted the motor to OBD2, I installed it and made that car run. We also had an excedy stage 2 clutch in it. The car even had a type s wing!! That was so 15 hp! But what i am saying is, it is possible...I have seen it and could probably dig up a timeslip somewhere. All we are saying is we feel that you could do better with the mods you have. It is just a matter of tuning...we arent questioning your driving or dissing your car. So stop crying about it! If you want advice from people on this site, then be ready for good and bad...if you don't like that, then leave!

 

Thing was it was just a "this makes power here" to help out with the does the sk2 mani make power or not..questions. Not lets tell how bad his car sux post..lol...I didnt ask for any comments about my car. Now rag on the mani all you want...

 

I laugh at how this thread ended up going from informative and helpful to idiots bashing this guy. We all beg for before and after dynos hoping to see gains from products and what our money could be well spent on. Here, Goinfasterthanu has clearly done us a favor by showing us what the skunk2 has done for him. He stated he has stock cams, no port n polish, and the DC header. These are all things that limit him and yet he shows 5whp better on the dyno. So, I guess the advice is get cams right? Why not just be happy he showed you theres alot of potential out of changing just the IM and the skunk2 is improving a stock motor significantly.


Now, I have seen this guy drive and know the track he frequents. The track is poor at best and I honestly dont think he could run his car any faster. But thats aside from the point and irrelevant to the thread, just as you idiots you ranted about it know. Theres too many factors to compare times just like they are facts.


Also, for the people who question his dyno stuff I am impressed. No one noticed he had his car Dynoed at Balanced Performance? Yes, to any of you who know tuning this is the place in the SE. Ask Precision who drives 200+ miles just to dyno it here, or Sam(boostlesslude) or Fastludeh22 or Ludeykrus.... The list goes on. Thats all I have to say about that one too.

 

Since when did peak gains do anything for you?

Losing power all over except for a brief jump just before redline means it lost power to me...

Take the gains through out that narrow of area improvement and subtract the amount it lost through out the rest of the curve... If you come up with a negative number you are in fact losing power, no matter how you look at it...

Same goes for torque...

true area under the curve is what matters.

Well wouldnt 5 up top help him in the 1/4 mile. Being he only had loss at 5k if he knows how to drive he wont see under 5500 throughout the whole drag race. This said his 5 up top should help.Correct me if im wrong.
