Rep Power: 320 Fly,
Thanks for starting a new thread. I don't know about other people but if so many people want to get this dyno why not contribute. I don't mine contributing if it is a $30 or $50 to get this thing dyno; and I'm not even thinking about buying it. Think about it, if there are 30 people interested then thas one dollar each or about $1.60 (USD) for the $50.

This motor has been totally balanced, and blueprinted.. everything lightened.
Port and polish, pistons, oversized valves, block guard, 500 lift cam, individual throttle bodies, coil pack, clutch/aluminum flywheel, oil pump, haltech, rods, basically everything that can be done to the D17 without using forced induction has been done to this motor. It does also have a 100 shot of nitrous. This package runs anywhere from 5,000-8,000 dollars.

Well I thought of your ongoing wieght reduction obsession when I was doing the install and wieghed the stock one along with all the brackets and hardware that are not going to be used, against the KMS one... and I lost the paper that I wrote the results on
But the difference was about 1.5 lbs KMS being heavier. I drove home last night and was hoping to be able to "feel" the difference....... but I didn't
I thought that maybe my throttle cable needed to be adjusted to get wide open when the pedal was pushed all the way.... I gave it the brick on the accel pedal test and checked the throttle body....no adjustment needed
The car runs/idles fine and strong, but it just doesn't pull like I remember it.
I'll do G-tech runs with it this weekend and compare it to the runs I did before the install and see what I do or do not get.

Rep Power: 419 OKay, 1.5 lbs isn't bad. Still though, lighter is better IMO. Maybe it doesn't pull as much since it's such a short runner length? The shorter the runner length the more power it will produce in the higher rpm's. You should see an improvement in the higher rpm's, but a decrease in the lower rpm's. If you usually drive within the lower rpm's, then you'll think it's slower. You need to dyno it to make sure though. That G-Tech meter is good I guess, but you need to set everything up the same way each time to get a good result. Good luck! I hope you gained some ponies... Then again, it's the E/T that matters most IMO. What good are ponies without the lower E/T?

Rep Power: 368 who cares about ET? lol.
and weight?
bah I say to both. heh... jk. sorta.
if this thing flows more and allows more hp/torque in the higher end.. its not for me then...
hopefully you get some results though.. at least a good shift of the poewrband upwards so when you do run that quarter mile or punch it.. you're doing it faster.
I care about the low end quite a bit. I hate having to rev to 4k just to get the car moving.
next car I get is a torque machine. so I dont have to be like grey and be so obessive about weight.

I hope you gained something out of this. Let us know how the G-Tech runs do.

Rep Power: 0 I know, i thought you'd get a pretty good gain that you could feel. Maybe the computer has to adjust the extra airflow out. Hopefully your g-tech will show some improved numbers

Rep Power: 0 I ordered mine today. I also had a question, is IM ready for nitrous, or do I need to drill/bore anything ? I'm not that informed on this IM that much. And also, do I need to tune the airflow once I put the IM on or ? I am planning to get my Cam Gear dyno-tuned as soon as I get it, I thought maybe I need to do something with IM also ?

Rep Power: 383 I think the gains someone said are like 7whp, but Im still not decided on it,but if it is something that I can do myself then ill get it, since there arent any shops here. But with I/H/E and IM then we should actually feels gains right?
