Do you have a plot that was done in power Vs RPM??

Thats not a very strong 3.4 at all.. even on the better plots. What intake and etc are you running on this engine? Based on the dips at changeover and the powerband I think I know.

You guys are somethin else. If I'm not mistaken, Jay paid for the first dyno after installing the technotorque on his own coin, and posted the results. That was all he was going to do, and then some people wanted him to do a second dyno after 200 miles, so as to confirm his results and let the ECU fully adapt to the TT.

He agree to do the second pull if people helped him pay for it, even though he wasn't planning on doing the second pull, and then he did the pull even though he only got a fraction of what it cost to do the second dyno pull. Then, he gets jumped on because he's trying to give some value back to those few who actually paid him to have the second pull done. Man, you guys should cut him a little slack.

Thanks for the plot Jay, I never tire of seeing dyno plots of our cars, enjoy,

Thanks for backing me up. Stock air box. I have some other things to check tomorrow. Just spotted a blockage. Because of being de snorked the stock box fell a bit below the hole for the inlet. I'll some how fix that tomorrow. Anyone have a stock snorkle for me?

I asked this before, but I think it got lost in all of the hoopla from before.

Does anyone have any thoughts on why it shows a decrease in HP and Torque? I would like to guess that the TT takes up space. It decreases the volume of the intake. The flow may be more linear, however I would bet that the Cubic feet per min of air is lower than stock because the TT reduces overall volume.

If you look at factory exampes of this technology, you will notice that it makes laminar flow of air without changing the overall volume of the air intake tubes.

Those of you who are giving JAAY crap - bugger off. It's people like you who make forums suck, NOT people like Jaay.

Jaay did nothing but try to (a) accumulate some decent data about the effectiveness of Pedro's part, and (b) try to share it in a way that wouldn't endorse or disparage the TT. I was happy to pay the ten bucks and am willing to send it back to Jaay if he wants it.

All these "performance" modifcations remind me off "The Little Engine That Could" gone awry. Want more horsepower, better handling, clean hands? Sell your old car and buy a new one. Because they are faster, have more horsepower, handle better and smell new.
Your money would be better spent in a savings account to help you buy your new car.

All I did was point out that JAAY could have just sent the dyno info to the "all three" of the people who sent the donations, instead of creating a new post callling out the TECHNO TORQUE DYNO, only to not share any info... in JAYY's defense, he does give out good info alot, and contributes good stuff to the forum, I guess I was just in a grumpy mood when I wrote that....sorry JAAY...

Jaay,

I think that I still have my oem snorkle sitting around. You are more than welcome to it. How soon do you need it ?

Dalealan2001,

If I wanted a new car I would just go buy one. Not every one wants a new car. The 986 is the same as a 987. I have a 3.4, I have a 987 tranny, I have a 987 clutch, I could use heated seats

Some suspension work and I am good to go. I happen to really like the 986 and I like to turn wrenches on it. Kinda my hobby and release from the norm. I like having trouble with it and having to figure it out. Getting your hands dirty is not for everyone. As for handling better that is another fun thing to mess around with. Take something that has the same platform and upgrade and tune it. Smells like new... My car has less miles than most two year old cars and stays in a garage under a cover. Smells good to me. I just like my car. I don't think I will get rid of my 986 ever. I may buy something different but there is no reason to sell it.

I understand your point if you enjoy working on your car. But a lot of people spend a lot of money in the aftermarket parts area for "performance" parts that do not do as they advertise. And before you know it they have sunk thousands upon thousands of dollars never even comming close to what a new car performance achieves. I know because I have done this before. It's an easy trap to get into.

His sig only says he's running a BMC filter on the intake side, guessing with the stock box?
