Pushing Tin's R2C dyno thread

Pushing_Tin · 08-24-2009, 05:38 PM

**UPDATE, due to incessant shipping delays and the run around from R2C I have canceled the order. It was initially delayed due to corrections made from nogood's install. But then the shipping was to be Tues/Weds/Thurs and then today, but it has not shipped today and my appointment is for next Weds. I am tired of dealing with this situation so I canceled the order. Sorry for any of you waiting for dyno results.

Okay for those interested I just talked to R2C and my intake is supposed to ship out tomorrow or Wednesday the 26th. I have scheduled my dyno runs for the following week on my day off, Weds September 2nd. The first run will be at 10am when they open, then I will have the intakes installed and another run in the afternoon. Unfortunately the temperature will be substantially higher in the afternoon, probably 20+ degrees.

When I called R2C I asked about running with the hood open or closed and I was told that some cars make more with it open and others closed, so I need feedback, should I do one of each, or should I just do both with the hood closed? The tech also told me that you can adjust something with the MAF if the gains aren't substantial to improve performance.

Any other questions ask, nogoood already has these installed in his G37 so he is very good source as well.

other than that, i am super curious about the results

Hood closed, engine at normal operating temp, ecu reset prior to oem & r2c dyno pull would be my guess. Hopefully at least three pulls each.

This way the only variable would be the ambient temp?

nogoodname · 08-24-2009, 06:24 PM

since hood is closed, does it replicate actually driving?? because of standing air

Abdiel · 08-24-2009, 06:26 PM

I think they usually stick a big fan in front to approximate normal driving conditions.

Yeah, shops have fans to simulate air flow over the radiator. Dynoing without it is stupid.

Abdiel · 08-24-2009, 06:35 PM

It'd be cool if the fan speed was variable depending on vehicle speed while on the dyno.

Can't wait for results! Even if there is a marginal gain, I will get them just for looks!

Just get the Injens and I will install them for you. You can drive to VA every couple months for me to clean your filters.

nogoodname · 08-24-2009, 07:06 PM

that's it mustang man... it's MK time !!!!!!!

Well I would be very disappointed if there isn't at least a 10hp gain. They look cool, but I'm not paying for looks, this isn't a show car.

If m4a1mustang got 6.9HP with the Injens, than I highly doubt we see more that that out of the R2Cs. Maybe 5HP...

Well it really depends on the dyno. My 6.9 whp gain is a very low number because it was run on a Dyno Dynamics.

Tin is going to run on a DynoJet, so if his intake is good for any gains he could very well make 6.9whp, but when you consider the difference in the machines, that 6.9whp wouldn't be equal.
