ARTEC VS 6BOOST
Benni's S13 in at HiPower Performance for a general check-up and prep for the next drift event.
Ryan found that the Artec manifold had cracked, so we took the opportunity to do some comparison testing between Artec and 6boost. We found in the past that the Artec cars appeared to make less power than the 6boost cars, so we've been itching to be able to do a direct comparison.
Stock bottom end Non-VCT SR20, Kelford Cams, head studs. Genuine Garrett G25-660. Identical tests - besides the exhaust manifold being changed to a 6boost unit.
The results from changing to the 6boost manifold (Artec results are from before the manifold had cracked):
41.3HP gain at peak with 1 psi less boost
135% gain in power at 4000rpm (103HP to 243HP!)
Fuelling had to be changed over 30%, I believe due to the reduction in exhaust manifold backpressure with the 6boost manifold.
Benni has had 2 years of fun since Ryan built the car, good to see it prepared for some more abuse!
