and was the dyno configured?????? and how can their stock s2000 have 20hp more then urs *Weird*

 

Have you ever done a base line dyno on your car?

Put your stock exhaust and intake back on and do a baseline run. Then figure out from there.

I am that guy

 

Do you feel like you gained back your lost hp?

 

I'm turning screws and I think I am getting there

 

Until I get the car back on the rollers, I do not know. My but dyno says the car feels great I am still going to adj. the valves and check a few more things before I go back to the dyno to see. Stand by

 

Isn't a big part of the effeciency/high specific output of the F20 due to resonance effects related to both the intake and exhaust? It's certainly true on NA race motors (ie in F1).

So isn't it kinda risky to just throw on un-matched intakes and exhausts, and wouldn't you be likely to see a net power loss?

Personally, I think I'll trust Honda R&D on this car. It's hard for me to believe that the aftermarket knows any better than Honda engineers.

 

numbers mean more when compared with other S's dynoing on the same dyno/same day....

 

This is just a thought, but could it be your aftermatket wheels? More weight on the wheels would equal more drag.
