Dyno, For all you...yeah Options

[snadman]

For all of you people who STILL feel that exhaust, plugs, and intake will add amazing ammounts of horsepower...I'm going to a dyno on the 28th of June. I will make sure to find this thread and post the graphs so you can see my car isn't a supercar with just those mods. I'm just getting kinda sick of people saying their intake's going to add 15HP, because it's not. I'm sick of people saying that exhaust adds 15HP, cuz it doesn't. AND I'm sick of people saying that plugs make so much more of a difference...

-For the intake, I may see a few HP, nothing big though or noticeable.
-Exhaust same as intake...you're actually just freeing up HP you already had with better flow (learned the exact details from Exhaust 101 in Import Tuner)
-Plugs...may add something, but not much. I've seen it where plugs don't do anything, but I've also seen minimal HP increases. I'm guessing it won't be anything and basically upgrading to expensive plugs on an NA Celica isn't going to help much.

**PLEASE don't take my whole plugs rant seriously if you run nitrous or turbo. You guys need good plugs, cold plugs! This is for NA Celica's only!

Funny thing is, the factory never released wheel HP. It's all because that would amke the Celica look like a weak sports car, which basically...sad to say...it is. It would have just a bit over 100 at the wheels right off the line...the 135 for the GT (130 for cali models) is a rated hp at the flywheel.

So yeah, however he measured it...to be sure he gained 6 he'd have to get figures from before...actual figures from his car and then figures right after.

BECAUSE like I said earlier...the Celica loses horsepower from the crank to the wheels...just the way every other car does. The Celica loses a lot, however, in the top end.
