Today the Editorial Lackey, Mike Arpon, and I headed over to Bisimoto in Chino Hills to make a few dyno pulls on Project TSX. Mike’s TSX was supposed to be his second car. The car you buy so that you can fix up your other car, the one you really care about. Somewhere along the line Mike began building his TSX. Like most of us, he has the disease. Its engine mods are basic but it picked up some serious power. I’ll post the dyno sheets in the February/March issue of HT but, basically, the K24 picked up 28 hp and 31 lb-ft of torque with sizeable gains across the board. Wait until you see the torque curve. Oh, like I said, the mods are ridiculously basic: Just a Skunk2 exhaust, a K&N cold-air intake, and a DC Sports header bolted to the stock cat. That’s it. Seriously. The ECU is stock, the valve cover’s never been off and, best of all, all three mods can be bolted on in just over an hour or two. Oh, and the header and intake are even CARB legal.
On a side note, I love going to Bisi’s shop. Bisi’s one of those guys who never tries to make you feel stupid, but you just can’t help but feel like you’ve still got a lot to learn after talking to the guy. He also runs just about the most professional, on-the-ball, dyno facility I’ve ever been to – and I’ve been to a lot of them. Don’t know who Bisi Ezerioha is? Shame on you.
