The scan gauge is not a proper tool to measure HP.

I have G-Tech Pro see here: http://www.gtechpro.com/

which is supposed to have very accurate measurements but even this one will give me wrong number in regards to HP. The only way is with a Dyno. No other way around it.

You just made a very accurate comment on the other thread. Horse Power is just a number and it does not tell us much about the abilities of a specific car.

Horse Power is measured at it peak. That means that you car could be very week all accross the power curve and then spike up and have a big HP number at the end. That kind of power will be of no use in the real life.

What is important is the overall amount of HP produced under the total curve. And that is a measurement of area, not HP.

Last week I ran against a 2002 Corolla TS. 6speed. 190 peak HP. It revs up to 8250rpm.

And guess what?

We did 2 passes and the Yaris won by 2 cars in both.


Stay tune for the new NST pulleys coming soon and Richard's Intake manifold.

Those couple of mods will really bring up to life this little engine!

145whp in our cars should be enough to beat a Civic Si....
