For my dayoff, I decided to make an hour and a half trip to Rosen Autosport in Richmond VA and waste more money on the dyno.

Run.002 - Stock ECU
Run.004 - Kenji's P28 Untuned
Run.014 - Kenji's P28 VTEC and fuel tuned

 

ooooooh baby. I just got my kenji P28 today.

 

nice

and what are your other mods??

 

p28bd1 correct??

what are your mods? what are the specs of your ecu?

here's mine stock everything except aem cai 172.9/120.9

 

- Yes OBDI P28 with vtec at 5300, 9100 rev-limiter, and Kenji's special sauce.

- Mods are Comptech Icebox, Spoon Header, P28 ECU, and VAFC. Yes I know, my numbers seem low but I'm not too worried. My car has put out better numbers on the same model dyno in different shops. In other words, I've come to an understanding that I can only compare the plots that came out from the same session.

Nice numbers but I hope you're not trying to talk smack about how I needed more mods to achieve numbers like yours?

 

I'll be dynoing Kenji's ECU tomorrow. Should be interesting to see how it turns out since we have similar bolt-on mods.

p.s. you lost mad horsepower, 'cuz you don't have Twinloop no more.

 

Im Convinced. I think imma get myself an Xmas present from Kenji. Hahahaha
How much for an ECU from him? I want to keep my stock ECU and stuff because the immobilizer and i don't wanna have 2 ECU's layin around. What can ya do for me Kenji????

No can do... you must lose your immobilizer. (It doesn't do anything anyway...)

 

chris, are you finally satisfied fugger?

 

Ok, even though I just finished saying earlier on my previous post...

It still kinda sucks that my numbers are so low. I don't think I'll ever be satisfied until I find the perfect combination of parts. I'm hopeless...lol

 

tell me about it...its not so funny from over here

 

NVious R, current special, $410 (shipped I think, not sure though) for both a conversion harness and a kenji chipped P28. Email him at kenji211@tampabay.rr.com

 

Dave, does that price include tips on how to achieve a kick-*** MULLET like Kenji's? J/k.

 

From my experience, Rosen's dyno reads on the low side.

 

Guys - stupid question, but what is a Kenji P28?

 

reprogrammed ECU

 

Is the ECU socketed or soldered with reprogrammed chip?

I saw an honda ECU once that was socketed just like the old 486 PC's...you can change chips easily.

 

The only place that I dyno'd my (old) R at other than rosen was some mobile dyno thing that said i had 195 WHP..with a JDM 4-1, so we know that wasn't right.

I was going by others experiences. I know Bryan experienced much lower nnumbers there compared to another dyno he had been at (not sure what the other one was), along with brian*black99si. I think Bryans R, with JDM 4-1, test pipe, comptech filter, and spoon axleback put down something like 150 there? The next day he was at a track session and pulling HARD on damn near every other R there on the straights?

Brians 99 Si with jdm 4-1, aem, exhaust, and ECU put down something like 130?

Something weird about the dyno, b/c i've known others to get perfectly reasonable numbers there. My old R with JDM 4-1, carsound cat, and AEM put down 171.x. Not sure what's throwing the numbers off, but those are just some things that i have observed.

 

Has anyone noticed that with the kenji ecu, when you run down to almost no gas, you go to refill at the gas station, fill the tank completely, it's hard to idle the first couple minutes? I had that problem on 2 different Kenji ECU equipped cars and was wondering if it was just a fluke?

 

Nope, sorry but that is something that can only be learned with experience

 

I socket all of my ECUs to allow for easy removal of chips for my customers.

-kenji

 

Mine is socketed - swapping chips is easy.

- Slater

 

CPR, What did your A/F ratio look like? Stock, with the P28, and tuned? Also, you have the stock exauxt , right?

 

Yes, I experience the same thing.

One other thing I've noticed as well, is that when the car isn't warm it idles awkward. I run a Spoon Thermostat, and it usually keeps the car much cooler during a-typical highway driving and what-not. (Between the 1st and 2nd dash on the temp gauge) -- It will have a very weird idle.

Short answer -- Yes, I have the same problem.

EDIT: Ok, sounded like I idle on the highway. I meant, driving then when I come to a stop, it will idle weird until the temp rises.
