The F119 power modification thread

Maybe later. Right now I am more into the valves and ECU project. Seriously though, we need to get Jeff to Churches so we can see if those things added anything to his car. If so and it's significant, I will get a set, for sure. Not spending that kind of money for looks.

 

Yuuup

Andy, I am up here in Finksburg and have used a dyno on other cars years ago at IAG motorsports in Westminster. They are a premier Subaru hi po tuner. Not sure of what type dyno or if it is still available . I would think the loss is greater for drivetrain than 8% but far smarter guys on here than me. I would think 10 to 12% but regardless I think you are making easily the advertised horse power and probably slightly more. I worked in Severna Park for 20 years, Annapolis is a beautiful place and anyone who can in the brotherhood should try to visit.

 

Ernie, you fool. Your car doesn't yield any significant power over mine despite your headers. I need more proof before I blow $3500. We've already acknowledged the difference between our cars is the tapered TBs, which I may get around to. Honestly, for 3 more HP, it's not high on the list. Once I improve the valves I may have to get headers, but for now it would be getting ahead of my plans. As I recall, your headers actually cost you mid range.

 

Go to Yellow Compass you will find the cost about 2/3 what you are saying. They are beautiful.

 

All this talk about horsepower and a sunny Socal day...I think I'll drive my V-12 500hp down to Bruce's since he is probably thinking about lunch right about now. Care to join us?

 

You might have to pull 4 plugs so Vince can keep up. Ha ha. Sorry Vince.

 

Going to CNC open house tomorrow maybe see some of you there.

 

Ernie you should streess those miles are not Lady driven either.

 

As part of my intake modification project I looked at the inlet hoses coming from the side vents. There is not an easy way to enlarge them due to the wheel liners and tire rub. I am hoping that once the air is in the engine room that straight runs will eliminate most of the issues. When my new air boxes arrive they will have a straight run to the MAF"S and a 90 degree turn into the throttled bodies. Pictures to follow.

 

That was funny. The most tires, not a garage queen subject to maximum stoogieness made the most horsepower. LMAO!

 

It was 3 HP and Ernie will never let it go - until I best him with my upgrades. Of course, there are too many variables to account for the difference. Our cars have different transmissions, for one, so the dyno uses different math. Also, from day to day, pull to pull, you are likely to get different readings. I will let Ernie bask in his 3 HP for now. His poor old girl needs something to be proud of occasionally.

 

Going by my other projects TB's with hydrogen injection will most likely be my final setup.

 

Has anybody here played with Coil on Plug setups on their 348's? I am wondering if this would yeild any benefit. I have done this on my Mitsubishi EVO and picked up some power. It will eliminate the leads which are prone to break down over time.

Also for anybody that has, do you have a suitable part number AND did you just wire the coils in without the use of any other ignition box between the standard ignition module and the coils?

 

Somebody ?

 

There are a few threads on using denso coil packs with after market management, I found while searching for the same subject.

I have 2 sets waiting to go on for my 355's. I'll see if they fit the 348. I would use them with an MSD box for extra ooommp

I know people use the Prius coils on other motors out there and I think they'd be something to look at. They have a built in igniter and don't necessarily need another box.

 

ND coils are self contained also I am just a big fan of MSD been running it since they came out.
Thats my vdo playing with my msd display LOL
