So, inspired by Fig's recent dyno testing of the stock airbox, afe and injen intakes, I am going to do strictly real world testing of my k&n and stock intakes. This might take a week or more, because I do not drive my car all that much. Here is what I plan to do for each intake test;
1. Reset ECU.
2. Drive in a normal manner until engine is at full temperature.
3. Fill gas tank full, without squeezing.
4. Drive to my designated location.
5. Calibrate accelerometer (Dynolicious).
6. Perform multiple pulls from 1600rpm in 2nd gear to 6600rpm in 3rd gear.
7. Perform multiple 1/4 mile tests.
8. Drive for a minimum of 500km as I normally would do.
9. Fill gas tank full, without squeezing.
10. Return to designated location.
11. Calibrate accelerometer (Dynolicious).
12. Repeat tests in the same manner as before.
I will do this for each intake. I will try my very hardest to do it when the weather conditions are as close as possible. Also, aside from starting the g-force pulls in manual 2nd gear, I will switch it to auto before 3rd, and leave it in auto for the 1/4 mile tests, as to take out and changes that could result from me shifting.
I will post updates as I get them, and by the end there will be nice little graphs, because Dynolicious is just that damn cool.
I should post this: My F has a Odyssey PC680 Battery, K&N Intake, JoeZ Exhaust, F-Sport Rear Sway bar, No Spare Tire, and nothing inside except Me, The Key and an iPod Touch.
