Dyno Page: Skunk2 Megapower S2000 Header

Skunk2 recently released their new 4-2-1 equal length header for the S2000. Introductory pricing was at $750 which made it on our 'to-do' list for dyno testing. Test car was a stock 2007 S2000 with 50k miles. We performed a baseline before and after the header install, then began installing supporting mods and Hondata Flashpro tuning for favorable results.

BT Power Page - CR looking for Toda Fun!

Today we had an opportunity install a few goodies on Kevin's 2008 S2000 CR:

• Toda Spec C Camshafts
• Toda Up Rated Valvesprings
• Hondata Flashpro Engine Managment 
• Dynotuning

Current Modifications:

• Toda header
• Toda test pipe
• Toda 60mm Dolphin exhaust
• Everything else stock

Here is a baseline off the stock map after the cam install. As you can see the air/fuel ratios started to lean out at 5k rpms into Vtec.

The Blacktrax dyno

Anyone possessing even the slightest interest in their car's performance, particularly those who have invested time and money in power-adding modifications, has likely wondered just how much power their car puts to the ground. Some people like to know in order to amass bragging rights, others want to know simply out of curiosity, and then there are the devoted souls who spend quality time with their investments, coaxing out every last bit of horsepower to gain that winning edge.
