Sport Compact Miami’s - Open Throttle

Here is the first in the series of updates about the car. The first mod made to the car was the trusty drop-in K&N Filtercharger. (http://www.knfilters.com/). Now these are usually known for about 1HP in yout standard car, however, any car with “tuning” technology that can change the engine characteristics (VTEC, VVTI, VRIS) is going to work a little better. With the airbox on the 626 being right on top out in the open where it can get circulated air, the inlet snorkel runs in front of the battery and has a heat shield ensuring more outside air is pulled in from the fender opening.

With this configuration, the K&N is making an (est) 2+hp which can be heard with a more aggressive intake tone and felt with a kick on the SOPD (Seat of the Pants Dyno) The car actually felt more ‘torquey’ as well really responding to every tap on the throttle. This is on a bone stockKL03. Next mods were to the exhaust system. Stay tuned

Result:

Base: 150whp (est)

Gain: +2

Total: 152whp (est)
