Today I've installed the Mugen Header, Mugen ECU, Mugen Thermostat, Mugen Fan Switch and the Mugen Radiator Cap on my MY00 S2000. My car was already equipped with Injen CAI and so far I'm extremely happy with the results but I wonder if you guys could tell me how much hp and torque I gained from all my mods, could anyone give me a round figure or an estimate.

Also, how much time is needed for Mugen ECU to adapt to the car since I wanna know If there will be anymore improvements on power . One last thing is there anything else I can do to get more power without getting inside the engine (cams, heads etc.) ? I would be more than gratefull If you guys could answer my questions..


Thanks in advence,

I would expect you to have gained something like 3-5hp across the curve and a fatter mid-range.

Yup I would agree. The thermostat, fan switch, and rad cap will not improve HP & TQ #'s.
But the header & ecu will.
I would imagine PEAK HP raises about 5-7WHP from what u had previously with the Injen

Your gain? Roughly 1 hp per $1,000 spent

I'd like to have some of that pimp Mugen stuff too! Just can't justify the $$$.

saving up for some 4.56 Rick's gears...

You will not gain much with the mugen mods.
But the most important thing for me is, that you get a really good power curve, especially with the Mugen ECU.
The mods are very expensive but they are all high quality!

What happened to "You get what you pay for?" So you pay 5 LARGE for 5 HP, but it's GOOD, HIGH quality HP? I have a B.Sc. in Mathematics and I'm afraid this whole equation just went over my head. If "Mugen" works for you, you go girl! You can proudly display that MUGEN decal on your car. I can't........................... (unless I buy that 600 buck Mugen wrench set, right?).

honestly after all the mods i did to my car i would say only two are actually worth it...not in terms of money but in terms of performance....the 4.44's and a straight pipe....the rest of the shit really doesn't make muchof a difference at all......of course the best mod if you want power is the supercharger....but you know what even that aint worth it because i feel it takes away from the soul of the car and that is for it to be an all motor beastly four cylinder
