Default K&n dyno results

as title says, i dynoed my car with k&n typhoon intake.
i read on this fourm that they had a problem fitting the intake with the throttle body. maybe i read wrong, but i did not have any problems installing them. it was a good fit.

the dyno i went on was a what people in vancouver called "heartbreaker" (mustang dyno at racing greed)
stock car dynoed at: 216whp and 175ft-ibs
with greddy tic: 223whp and 178ft-ibs
greddy tic + k&n intake: 229whp and 186 ft-ibs

pretty happy with the intake. the torque gain was noticeable for sure.
when i installed the intake... i was suprised that my car came with a block heater. does everyone have block heater??? it was hidden below the stock intake box
bad picture....

cool. do you know which cone filter model your intake uses? there should be like a 4 digit number on the box(?).

Wow those are low numbers... That really is a heartbreaker dyno!

I didnt have that low of numbers and I dynoed on a Mustang Dyno at Sound Performance hmmmmm..


Well a dyno is only something to base mods off of congrants on the install

Something is way off with the dyno. Way too low. A stock 350Z/G35 puts out about that much...

nop, the stock 350z dyno was about 170-180whp on that dyno...
more suprising... rx8 with greddy turbo kit pushed only 186whp hahahaa

Doesn't matter what matters are the numbers before and after. Looks like you also got 6rwhp with the K&N Typhoon intakes. That is what I got too. But I had numbers around 280rwhp...

doesn't matter what the numbers are, what matters is the gains each mod gives, which seems like a good amount. Don't let the numbers fool ya!

I never saw anyone win or lose a race on a Dyno. Good gains!

Yup it's all about the gains.

But I'm thinking they did your runs in 3rd?

Ok, wait...lets not get carried away...number DO matter. Does you car feel like its running well? Reason i say this is because the DYNO helped me diagnose my old car (350z) was not running well. I went to a dyno jet and pulled 200rwhp stock on a 2003. There were other 2003's stock putting down 225-235. Thats a big difference! I dont if the dyno you went to reads low or whatever, but when i took my car to nissan (with dynos!) they did a compression test and found out i had very bad compression in 3 cyclinders on a 6 month old vehicle( back in 2003).

Good results. So it looks like the filters are where the gains are rather than the tubing. K&N drop in filters have been shown to give 5-6hp and 5-6 torque. These short tube intakes appear to give 6hp and 8 torque, roughly the same as the drop in filters. So it's a matter of preference of look rather than performance. Good to know. Thanks for the dyno graphs.
