2002 Es Sedan Dyno
Hey guys i'm getting my car dynoed this weekend and wanted to know if there's anything i need to know before i go there to make things run smoother or if there's anything i should do to get a reliable dyno reading(ie....new spark plugs or what?) I just changed my oil last week i don't know if that helps but i'll post the dyno saturday night. (Only have an Injen Cai,Magnecor spark Plugs Wires and Iridium Spark Plugs to call performance mods for now) . After that i will put on my Racing beat cat back and get it dynoed again. i also wanna get the Hyper ground wires and the outlaw thermal spacers and get each one dynoed respectively. I'll keep you guys posted.

Well this is my dyno. Engine Mods I have are an Ingen CAI,Magnecor Spark plug Wires and denso iridium spark plugs (IK20). Best run was 108whp and best torque was 120.1 ft lbs torque. (I beleive stock is 102whp and 112 ft lbs.) The guy who did the dyno told methose erratic jumps were due to my spark plug wires(He said i was loosing spark) So i'm considering ditching the Magnecor Wires(Has 9000 miles on em) And seein if i can get some MSD wires. The dyno is in STD Horsepower. Well i'm off to install a Racing Beat Cat-Back and head back to the dyno next week. Sorry for the pictures my scanner isn't working.

"uhh whateva" Not for nothing but you sound like a pissed of Cartman..but anywayz Yeah i guess i better go and put everthing back to stock then!
But seriously like i said when i get the time i will do that (probably like next month maybe) Unless someone in this part of Jersey is willing to get their 2002 stock protege dynoed at crazy horse(just to have a baseline to go by with this dyno). I'd even be willing to pay half for it.

Do you really think plugs and wires on a pretty new car are going to significantly affect performance? I've heard that plugs and wires on my car would be a waste (7100 miles) because the stock ones are OK for now. Is this true?

looking at that dyno pic, it looks normal for a protege, with the wavyness. anways, it doesn't do any good to dyno another stock protege, every car is different and produces different power.
the plug/plug wires have to been to death on this board. there is no HP difference, only sometimes better idle or smoother reving, but there hasn't been sufficient dyno testing with it.

I would agree that the plugs/wires thing only makes for smoother idle etc.......... Unless you have a ragged out set that need replacing and it will decrease performance(DUH) Mazda seems to have done a pretty good job on the stock ignition and I cant see where an upgrade to it would be useful unless youre turboing....etc.....................Duncan
