I know I know....but you know DYNOs.
Everything is a variable. I cant wait to see our members here DYNO is all.

And I am VERY curious on how it does with a stock Z and STOCK cats.

True that. Check out the thread over @ motoring and you will see a vid of the dyno run.

Being the penny-pinching, scam-sniffing modder i am, i took the trouble to read all, like, 30 pages of that thread. It all flows logically and passed my sniff test. Plus, they said their dyno was done on a dynojet instead of other dynos that give higher numbers. And did you see what our stock headers look like??? .It was painful to look at them next to topspeed's. And for $230, i just can't resist.
Just my .02.
ps: are you stock, Enthuz? If so, you'll prolly see big gains with those, like the alphawerks dyno.
pps: remember, the guys on that site are present and past members of our site, mostly; we're all brothers in the kingdom of Z/G

Is it just me, or did that dyno show the z running lean with the headers?

Z BOY

Anyone?

I think that is pretty typical of our VQ's when they get to breathing better. In addition to the headers, he's got the intake, cats, and exhaust all contributing to the motor running leaner. This is what the Technosquare mod is supposed to remedy...

I'm so close to pulling the trigger here!

From what I can see, the car spiked twice to a lean ratio, but looks like it stayed around 13/14:1. I looks a bit richer than the stock run at about 14:1 the whole time. The spike is more than likely not going to occur since the ECU adapts and this car was dynoed right after install.

Thanx. I know shzit about reading dyno graphs.

Thanks for the welcome! Nice hood btw - it really makes your car look mean! I'd put one on mine, but I don't have near the mods to back it up! (Plus a Z hood would probably look funny on my G!)

Z BOY

iTrader: (41)

I've seen the same one on a G...looked good!

CrazyMike

iTrader: (2)

I'd like to see one of those. Who makes the hood?

Z BOY

vis racing. there's also a gb right now on motoring for the seibon(?)
hoods at a VERY good price, and you get to choose btwn, like, 5 different styles.

I saw the GB over there and would love to get the hood you have or the TopSecret looking hood.

CrazyMike

Thanks for the info - gonna have to put that into the, "maybe someday" folder. I already wasn't expecting to buy headers Gonna sleep on it and decide tomorrow night...

One more header question though. Besides not being CARB certified, what downsides are there about having headers installed? (heat, oil filters don't fit, etc) Any downside here that I can't find?

Z BOY

iTrader: (41)

yeah, i think the curviness of the vis fusion hood's vents matches our cars' curviness. Topsecret has a hood?

Z BOY

iTrader: (41)

good question, which i can't answer. Anyone?

Intense Motorsports has one by that name. Their is like $1100 or ~$1700 (CF). It looks just like the -TS hood offered by Seibon under the GB.

Z BOY I saw an Orange RX-7 on the cover of Turbo Mag with the same hood as you.
