Come on this isnt my first time at the dance, and check my exhaust thread you will see.
That being said i signed my slip so UPS should be dropping it off this afternoon at my house. Then tomorrow i have a track event at Homestead with the LF-A launch. So i should be gettting on this thursday!
Shit im still trying to get the OEM manifold off. I started it yesterday and spent two hours working under the hood. And let me tell you that once i got started and remembered that i needed to drain all the fluids and do this and that I said F it. Then I had Janoy call a Lexus Tech. (who will either except the job) or im flatbedding it to my STi shop and letting the man work wonders on it bc i dont have time for it. (In the Marines and working about 120hrs a week for haiti).
Those awesome elves at ISSForged got the manifold off lastnight after i left it in there hands. They are swapping the new one on today and buttoning up everything then we will go off to the dyno either saturday or monday and results will be up. Sorry for the delay.
The ODB was hooked up for the dyno so everything will be readable. Andy has them in his email now. As for the exhaust yes it does have an exhaust, but the clear case of the matter is that it was dynoed with it on before for baseline and after. Also i wasnt getting 100% tps opening so im putting the blitz on today and then taking it back to dyno it again seeing if the tps will open up allowing more air in. Either way for the cost and what we have available right now for our cars i am very happy!!
I will have janoy take one for you and contact you about an exhaust if you would like. pm me your info.
i have both systems, janoy uses my car all the time and likes the quiet one, i like the loud one and dont notice bc im used to it. However i can tell that the drone is only from about 1700-2000 rpms its really not that bad at all. During this dyno run it was the quieter of the two setups. We are going to redyno this week using the track system.
No the quiet one doesnt have the drone, the track/race one does (but i dont mind it) janoy does.
ODB was hooked up we could monitor all the sensors. It was not opening 100% it was doing the same thing when i took it for its baseline. I think when i got it serviced last that the dealerships did something to the ecu, as before my last service i had no issues on the dyno seeing 100% opening.
everyone wants a million different things. The car was dynoed on a different dyno when we were testing the exhaust when they were first built. I put down 385 max before on the dyno with just an exhaust and intake. They are all different, everyone knows they are good tools. We avg. 13hp increase in this one. When the track exhaust goes back on and the blitz is put on im guessing you will all like the results a lot more. So stay tuned!!!
That is why we had to rebaseline this car bc it was a different dyno and it was the right thing to do.

my car was dyno'd with the exhaust and intake in (but its a different dyno then was previously used, hence the lower numbers). So we base lined and then we changed the manifold and TB. and re dyno'd that is where we picked up the 13hp.
Car was not stock for this dyno however we have done stock runs and are doing more testing either thursday or monday. depends on their schedule and mine.
no i have the quiet exhaust on now, and we needed to baseline that, plus its a different dyno. sorry for the confusion.
I am putting the track back on and then we are going to redyno it again.
I believe they were in the past not sure. Also i didnt know any of this so thanks for the info. I will look into it and get back to you. I cant imagine driving a stock car anymore after the what i have done so far!
