MS3 Dyno:Before/After Dyno Cobb SRI

[hyperpm]

Cobb Intake before and after dyno. Conditions from original baseline(Dyno run # 3) the same as today’s.


Dyno run # 3: Stock baseline. Fan on radiator
Dyno run # 4: COBB Short Ram Intake ($175) installed. Fan on radiator.
Dyno run # 6: Fan on top mount intercooler.

Nice numbers. Isn't DSR in south San Jose?

yes. didn't realize fan on intercooler made such a big difference. probably why there are such big differences in speed3 dyno #'s. as far modding goes moving forward, i'm still sticking with no fan on intercooler since my baseline didn't have it.

[CnoTataymo]

Yes, if you do place a fan ontop of the TMIC, you'll get a little bump since the TMIC isn't heatsoaking. Numbers usually run lower after the 1st or 2nd run because of heatsoak.

first speed3 to be dynoed at that shop, ask for lawrence in interested.

You should of went to the shop on the other side. Is called EIP.

[hyperpm]

You should of went to the shop on the other side. Is called EIP. i've done dynos with these guys before and know their dyno is pretty accurate based on my other car's stock dyno so sticking with these guys.

What was the price and how many pulls?

[hyperpm]

$100 for 3 pulls. if looking for a deal and local, go to modacar dyno day on the 4th. $40 for 3 pulls.

[Moultese]

Impressive numbers. I think I may go FMIC and Cobb SRI. It's obvious by dyno runs that the TMIC is worthless.

Who is going to be the first (AFAIK) to do a custom ram air mod to their hood to get cool air to the IC? A nice carbon fiber one........

sweet numbers!

DG makes a CF ram air hood for the IC. SU sells them, kinda pricey of course. As far as a ram air mod for cheap, it would would very difficult without cutting your hood.

I gotta ask since I read that you can dyno with a fan on the radiator and on the intercooler.

What if: you shut the hood so the air flowing from the front actually ducted properly through the front nostrils and onto the TMIC? It'd probably be the most realistic anyhow right?

they took fan that was blowing on radiator and pretty much aimed it at intercooler(not on it but like a foot away from it). i think they had to dyno with hood up since they had to connect something somewhere engine bay. i dont think a fan can replicate freeway speeds but i could be wrong. my baseline is fan on radiator so will dyno like that moving forward and doing 1st runs since consecutive runs heatsoak tmic terribly.

[controlo]

wtf are the numbers?

[hyperpm]

225/255 stock with fan blowing on radiator not intercooler. with cobb sri, it went up to 235/270 with 20-30hp/tq gain at 3250 rpm. with cobb sri and fan blowing on tmic and letting engine cool for 15 mins, it dynoed at 250/285.

[controlo]

nice man! :)

I would like to be the first, just not sure what option I cwould like to go with for painting and I dont want it to look ghetto. I was considering buying one of those wrx style stick on hood scoops (one that mounts pretty flush without looking too fake), having it painted to match and cutting a hole on the top of the hood to let the air scoop down and in. Just not sure if it would look ghetto or not. I am going to have a friend photoshop one on so I can see how it would look before I do it.

If you lok at the basic wrx hood scoop its not molded to the hood, it has the perferation around the edge and I believe it is removable/detatchable, so by putting on a stick on hood scoop as opposed to havign one molded withy the hood I don't see as being bad looking at all, should look like the wrx scoop with the line around the edge of the scoop like this one:

here is a photoshop i found of a scoop on a focus, looks kind of ghetto to me so I am worried it would look ghetto on the speed3:

ghetto ?
Its makes that car look way beyond ghetto imo.

The first thing that would pop into my mind is some kid gots his mom or dads car and started sticking shit all over it. Whats next maybe a set of plastic spinners?(cool)

[zim]

that's stupid, just get a damn fmic and it won't look dumb...

yeah thats what i was thinking. The wrx comes with a scoop for their top mount, so I thought maybe I could make one for mine and see if it would function properly and work better than the stock setup. Wasn't sure about doing it, just gathering an oppinion if it would look bad or not. I personally think it looks nasty on that focus, but perhaps a smaller scoop would not look that bad on the speed3?

[AAMguy]

why why why...seriously if its that big of a deal get a fmic...

or if you do get the hood scope go ahead and cut some z3 slit in the fender.

haha or those stupid stick on fender gills i see people rocking from pep boys! Ive seen those stupid things put on lots of cars at randon for no functionality whatsoever.

Back to the thread topic, those are some great numbers, is it JUST the short ram intake that you had installed and no other bolt on mods?

[hyperpm]

^yes just intake. i don't like the loss though in the higher rpm's in 2nd graph with cobb sri installed(fan on radiator not tmic). in 3rd graph it seems to go back to normal while maintaining big torque and hp jump at 3-3.5k rpm so that drop likely due to heatsoak.

[mckraut]

Good looking numbers man. Makes me want to dyno mine with the Cobb SRI, Forge BPV & Corksport MM inserts just to see what I'm putting to the wheels.
