HP, how much can a LIL 2.5L take? How do they Blow?

After each mod I will be back on the dyno to see what sort of results I get.

Everyone here will be updated along the way.


Jaay looked into the air/meth for his supercharged 2.5. Perhaps he can chime in with his research.

pk, from your research do you feel as if the ecu would need a different map than the standard sc map?

Hey Gary
Please do keep us apprised of results from your mods!

ECU remap; actually maybe, but the kit consolidator said “DON’T”. There such… dicks I never asked why. I rely completely on an AIC and at this point I don’t have any complaints (But I also don’t know how well I’m optimized either). With an AIC, for simplicity, I’d steer clear of messing with the ECU. I’d think trying to juggle the 2 while tunning would be a pain.


I’m not altogether sure how much remapping can be done to the ECU. I know they can be flashed from “a” to “b” and “chipped”. But what can be tweaked in-between, I really don’t know. If I could do it, (have an interface and software) and ditch the AIC, It sure seems like it would be a lot cleaner.

I do intend on getting a more advanced AIC. Unfortunately, the ones I like don’t have any baseline maps for this car, means starting from scratch. I’m not crazy about pinging the _ell out of the motor just to get to something close. I suppose I could hack into mine and use some sort of data logging software/hardware to extrapolate a map…dunno.

Anyway, good luck with the mods, look forward to the results.

P.S. Do you have an AIC and if so, who makes it?
