rts Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 anyone tested both engines? Is there any notable difference in driving? thanks for comments:) Drove a loaner last week. I couldn't tell a difference. Seven horse power is only a 4% gain, any difference would be subtle at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Can you tell if someone else was in the car beside you while accelerating? That's about the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLegacy99 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I think you would be able to tell the difference. I could tell with my K & N air filter. While the difference was only minor, it felt good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Man...... if you gays can feel 7 crank Hp.... You have a very sensitive butt dyno;) Maybe they also adjusted the powerband a little. Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praedet Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 It is more than just the 7 peak hp. I drove a 05 2.5i, and then my dads 06 2.5i OB. The new engine has a broader powerband that is quite noticeable. AVCS really helps out a lot for the NA engine... Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out my post here explaining. http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30921 I think idle fuel economy and smoothness would be a bit better on the 06.

Sponge Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Drove both over the weekend and my butt dyno isn't that sensitive...both felt slow. I bought the 05 My vB Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I'd say it's more a placebo effect. Only way to test is have someone swap or don't swap out your air filter and see if you can figure out what the difference is. Test should be conducted with the windows up and stereo turned up to eliminate any accoustic differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 ^ in that particular test 95% of people could not tell a diff;) Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADirtyLegacy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Man...... if you gays can feel 7 crank Hp.... You have a very sensitive butt dyno;) Maybe they also adjusted the powerband a little. my thoughts exactly...you won't feel that. i'm willing to bet most of that is eaten up by the drivetrain. slow is slow..there's no getting around that.

I did a test years ago on a Scirocco and there was no difference between no air cleaner and the factory air cleaner in the track acceleration tests I used. I guess the K&N must have a little turbocharger in it.... I'm doing a dyno run on my H6 and if it isn't too difficult or expensive I'm going to do one with no air cleaner at all, for reference.

white2.5i Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 since there's more torque, i would imagine it picks up faster personally, the only different i see is the headlights..=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
