Yup all worth it Clive!

I'm still on the stcok exhaust but changing it should be ok - it will be a dual Mugen or Greddy so it's more for weight really.

Si, just feels a lot more flexible and punchy once in VTEC. I need to get out and give it some on familiar roads to properly test it.

Jim, think Cadwell will be a no Looking to see what else is out there though!

AJ, be interesting to get your car on their dyno Although quibbling over a few bhp will be beyond you very soon!

Off to CG in a week for the Tien install so that will top all this off.

Brakes and sump will be done before then, and R888's after.

Then it's all done!

Sure, i have a before and after mods unlike some people so the gains are visible to see, still a standalone would be a better choice.

I'll probably go on the other spectrum and go with a standalone DTA in future none of this AEM crap

Yup should be installing SC very soon

210 is a pretty impressive figure, you must be well chuffed with Mr Mase's handy work.

Wow,
MB's mods really make a huge difference from stock!

Sorry about the fuzziness.




Colours,

dark blue - MB stock
light blue - Gas stock

red - MB Mased
purple - Gas Mased.

Good work, Scott, and very interesting!

I can see 30 bhp differences at some ponts!

But our final results are closer, and lets face it, you haven't wasted 2k on getting an extra 10 bhp

My midrange shows big improvements though.

Actually, just had a second look at it.

The useable power is between 5.5 and 8.5k rpm and there is a big chunk there!

True

And I think it gives members here something to shoot for between stock, and your mods.


And yes - the area difference under the curve is impressive.
