damn ii wish ii can photoshop. time to bring out the colored pencils lol

So have they filled you in on which clutch kit they gave you?

I hope to have that info for you by the end of the weekend. Also...just heard from the techs that we are going to test a KAAZ LSD along with the new ACT clutch.

I just saw your dyno graphs and i have a question, does your baseline reading include and other performance parts that add HP and TRQ or is it just the turbo kit alone. To my knowledge you guys have the GReddy exhaust as well i just wanna know if that was included.

You are correct. The baseline already included the greddy exhaust and the weapon R headers.

correct me if im wrong, the baseline of 115.5 whp and 115.04 lbs-trq included the header and the exhaust? wow that means our car has like no power to the wheels. whats the absolute baseline with NO modifications

It depends on the Dyno and the altitude.

What is said should be no surprise, the car only has 128 HP stock. I'm curious to know what RPM was the HP and torque was measured at.

Here's K&N's Dyno they did a couple of years ago. http://www.knfilters.com/dynocharts/69-8615_dyno.pdf

Eh it is like a wanna be old and busted V8 with that torque and RPM read out.

I like it! It's a nice long flat power band. Dude, I swear you hate your car. Why don't you sell it, and quit you glum remarks? There's tons of other vehicles that might impress upon on you, but this one doesn't seem to be for you. I can go around and crap on (ad nauseum) other cars, but I don't. The main reason I don't is because I know a car can be a personal thing, and people choose their cars depending on what they like. So it's always going to be an opinionated decision, and I respect/understand that. So to sum up I guess, just don't be a dick, dude.

The reality of what the xD is can't be changed but on the flip side, there are a lot of surprising options out there to really enhance the car's performance. It's a great looking, functionally capable vehicle with just a few add on (bolts-on) accessories can greatly enhance the driving experience. We're going to compile a list of parts, where to buy, from whom on all of the stuff we've researched out on our xD. In the end...we're actually racing and we're holding our own which has really been a great experience.

We race this weekend and are busy with tuning/prep. So bare with us on this weekend's posts on the team site: rallyxd.com

see i like the numbers on this graph and they clearly display a stock curve and a modified curve. this is the 3rd time ive posted about this, and i've contacted rally xd. i just need a graph to go by.

K&N graph shows numbers from a stock XD.
Greddy's graph shows very similar numbers but the XD is modded.

conditions have an affect on things but it shouldnt be a big enough affect where a modded XD has less HP and TRQ than a stock XD.

"We're going to compile a list of parts, where to buy, from whom on all of the stuff we've researched out on our xD. "

it would be much appreciated, I'm always looking for parts for the XD but really can't find any. whenever you can put up an updated list. it would be much appreciated.

Whoa are you serious with this BS? I hate my car because I was not impressed with the dynograph that resembles something that would be in a truck? Alot of people on this board and other places like scionlife seem to be on cloud nine about this car and all I do is add a little dose of reality.

I dont care about the graph itself, power is power, as long as its recognized and gained thats wht should matter. some one also has said our power band resmebles a b-series civic

Fuel pump was upgraded...we grabbed a spare/stock tC one laying around at Greddy from one of their time attack cars. KAAZ lsd isn't going to make it to this upcoming race. We'll have to wait and test that upgrade at the next event in Oregon.

Good luck on the upcoming event. That's cool to know you can interchange with the TC fuel pump! Did you upgrade the injectors as well?

Got those shirts today, Thanks Rally xD!

Injectors....we did not. Stock. We do our first real test with our driver ACP tomorrow.

post vids if you can. I would love to see it run with the new upgrades.

I see a DNF/Mechanical at Rally AMerica. What happened/how were you doing? Give us an update.
