Spearco IC dyno with AA and initial impressions
so i've been running the spearco IC for a week now and you can feel it working in the higher RPMs above 5K. feels like car keeps pulling instead of leveling off. I've heard different reviews about the IC gains of 5-26rwhp and some with no gains but lower boost levels due to the lower pressure drop with the higher performance IC.
So I dyno'd car at same dyno from stock to present. Stock: 277rwhp 300rwtq With AA AP only: 322rwhp 360rwtq. with Spearco IC: 332rwhp 365rwtq We decided to spray the IC with water to enhance cooling effect due to the dyno fan being a slower one (<30mph). Since IC with water sprayed on IC: 344rwhp 369rwtq Of interesting note, I decided to remove the air filter to see how restrictive the factory filter is. There was no gain from removing it. So I guess the Helene filter on order will result in no gain. But will dyno with helene filter and rennart exhaust in a couple of weeks. Car definitely feels stronger now with IC and cat back. Butt dyno feels like 350-360rwhp. see attached dynos. Last edited by tomtom; 05-26-2008 at 04:43 PM.. |

I just slapped my Spearco on yesterday. I also installed my exhaust as well so I cant tell how muc which or both is making; but there defiantly is a significant increase in power.

do you think this is way off? what are you running now...Helix with DPs...i would expect huge numbers. I know someone with the JBX and spearco IC that dyno'd 20-25rwhp gain. Do you think JBX works differently with aftermarket IC. Last edited by tomtom; 05-26-2008 at 06:47 PM.. |

I would say use water when you do a stock baseline to keep things fair.... |

don't think it would effect the stock setup as boost is affected by IAT, so lower boost to keep same power level. well i'll get another crack at it in a couple of weeks with catback and helene filter and may check with air filter lid removed too but may need adaptation to see results for that |
