so just wondering... which engine do you think is better? 06 or 07?

It is a tuning tool, but I could of taken the tC in for a baseline a second time to the same dyno and would of gotten the same results (tried with with my ZX2 -- consistent results on it between two different days several months apart with nothing changed on the car). The tC did 153whp/153wtq uncorrected, 151whp/151wtq corrected. I was pleasently surprised since I was only expecting 140-143whp.

I posted the dyno on here a week or so ago, if my #'s really bothered you or seemed unreal why didn't you comment there? 07 MTX tC with TRD Axleback (basically stock, will you agree? Unless you're telling me the TRD axleback give me 10~12whp over what the 05-06's put down) put down 153whp/153wtq uncorrected. Hell for argument's sake, take off the 2-3whp the TRD axleback may provide on an otherwise bone stock tC. My point was the changes they made to the motor increased power output a good amount.


Feel free to argue all you want, doesn't change the #'s it put down. If dyno #'s meant absolutely nothing we wouldn't have people using them now would we?

I didn't say that your numbers were unreal, or impossible. I was just explaining it's purpose, and was asking on which Dyno brand did you make the runs on.

i have an 07 block in the garage, mint 3K miles I was suprised to see the oil squirters before I saw this post. Thought mabey the 06 had them but found no reference so glad I got this block. As for the 06 head fitting the 07 block, no issue. All they changed is the side of the headgasket and one water passage is larger. That is it! You can actually cut away part of the 06 head so it is the same as an 07. No biggie. 07 cams would be nice but I am not worried about that, waiting on Crower to hurry up with the 2az parts haha.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Thought you were getting on my case like the other guy. I use a dynojet provided by http://www.torquefreaks.com .

ah, ok. Its just that some dynos read higher than others, and vice versa

VitViper

I know, dyno to dyno varies a bit. After reading the nice list of changes they've included on the 07 engines I would probably be disappointed if mine wasn't at least a bit higher than the previous generation lol

clear...

TRUE....for 07 tC that is, cause I emailed the Fujita and asked if their intake for 07 tC C.A.R.B. legal and the replied: The 07 tC cannot be C.A.R.B. legal due to the carbon filter that is built into the factory air box.
