99 CIVIC DYNO RESULTS
Updated 7/03/01
HERE ARE MY DYNO RESULTS DONE IN D.P.R.
Jan. 16, 1999
The first run was done with the following modifications:(blue graph)
- Car has 7,500miles
- remove airbox inside bumper leaving the top part.
- bypass coolant to throttle body.
- ignition timing was 14 deg. (stock)
- 92 octane gasoline
The changes made for the second run:(red graph)
- advance ignition timing to 16 deg.
Comments:
I didnt expect that I will lose 2.6HP and 1.7 ft-lbs of
torque on the whole power band after advancing the timing for 2
deg. only! it's maybe cause by the more strict OBD-II that
regulates exhaust emissions. So further dyno runs are needed
to confirm the theory. I might try to retard the timing to see
if it actualy increases power?!! notice that the vtec cross over
around 5,300RPM cause a slight dip in power. (update 2/01/99)
the dyno results confirmed that 97 and older cars (OBD I)
respond to ignition advance and gain 2-3hp. while the cars from
98 to present (OBD II) lose power.
