Newcastle is north Renton/south Bellevue, right next to the Factoria area (I-405/I-90).

I definitely prefer to be one of the first ones on the dyno (along with any other s2ks), so I can leave and be home sooner rather than later

 

who wants to meet up and run up to the dyno thats lives around auburn?

 

Wideband is operational and will be for the dyno day.

 

Tentative plan for the Northend people is to meet at Costco and gas up there. We'll leave between 8 and 8:30 and head North. Jawknee, PM me your number or reply here and we can plan to meet up on the way if you'd like.

I was unable to secure a CAI for testing purposes but I did receive my K&N filter to fit over my velocity stack. It also fits inside the stock air box (which surprised me). I'll be able to do a little experimentation I guess. If anyone has any extra intakes, filters etc bring them up and we can try to mix and match stuff to see what works.

How many s2ks were there? anyone put down good numbers?

 

There were only 2 of us there, John's AP1 and my AP2. He put down more than I expected for a stocker at 196/13X with nearly 100K on the odo. His car is stock with lighter than stock SSR's on which is good for a few extra ponies on a dynojet.

I put my K&N w/ Vstack on his car and he made 0.6 hp peak more w/ a solid 2 hp in VTEC.

I ended up w/ 203/141 on my AP2 w/ 2000 on the odo. I did a couple of little tests just for the hell of it. I found the K&N does net a couple hp over the stock filter. Taking the filter off w/ just the Vstack made 205/145, but you can't run around w/o a filter.

Also, running with the airbox top on is good for 1 more hp but doesn't sound nearly as cool.

All in all it was an awesome day. We did 27 cars with the most hp coming from an R32 skyline w/ 38X and the lowest from a B16 powered civic. The civic had the highest hp per liter (NA of course) putting down 157/112 to the wheels. Cool car list: 2 S2K's 5 NSX's, Skyline, ITR, several turbo RSX's, MR2, RX7 and some FI VW's.

I wish more of you guys would have come up. I was hoping to be able to compare setups and try more intakes to see what makes power and what doesn't. Oh well, maybe next time.

 

I was simply too lazy to make such the long trek; too many things going on yesterday. Hopefully there will be another dyno day that is closer

 

It was only about an hour and 15 minutes to drive up there and the weather cooperated.

 

I had to take a ride in my buddy's 400hp CRX =)
