Ported TB and Descreened MAF result's 2 Attachment(s) Got bored today and headed to the dyno.Car is the same I posted before which is a stock 02 346 with Kooks,Magnaflow and 4000 stall. All runs are with a locked converter,no timing changes and A/F dialed in.Engine temp was 185' on the beggining of each pull. Run 5 is the before -It is from last time but the before pulls today were exactly the same #'s and follow perfectly,just the old graph was smoother for comparison(had noise on the pulls) Run 9 -changed to a ported TB done by myself.No A/F changes needed. Run 12- removed MAF screen,car went .6 point leaner and lost 15hp at first.I dialed the A/F back to the other's and gained some back but still lost hp. So,on a stock/header car the ported TB was worth 8hp/2tq with most of the gain up top and a descreened MAF lost hp.I know a MAF mod is good on H/C cars but it just doesn't work on these lower hp cars. Graph 1 shows the difference between the 3 and graph 2 shows the HP loss with the MAF :) |
Damn MAF descreening. Those TB numbers surprised me though. Good work. |
cool man.. nice to see what kind of results we can expect with a TB... right on!! |
I've pulled the screens out of a few cars on the dyno during runs and they have all picked up 5rwhp or so after getting the +.2-4 AFR back down |
I gained about 8hp as well with a shaner s2 TB, when I only had bolt on's. |

good work.. i knew the ported tb was a good buy.. about 10 dollars a rwhp |
Nice results! |

Where's my Dremmel?! :judge: |
great test. :) DO you have results from when you tried this on h/c cars??? |
