Increasing Performance, Efficiency and Style - Ultimate Efficiency

Increasing Performance And Style Front
Increasing Performance And Style Dyno

The Results Are In
Testing for this installment of Ultimate Efficiency commenced much like it had in the past. Power and torque numbers were measured at our Integra's wheels before and after this round of modification, using MD Automotive's Dynojet dynamometer, and fuel consumption was measured by dividing the distance we traveled during road testing by the volume of fuel expended, calculated by subtracting the amount of fuel drained from our car's tank after road testing, from what was added to it before. Fuel was measured by weight and volume. More than 400 miles of mixed driving were logged to limit margin of error. New to this installment is acceleration testing, measured by our G Tech Pro RR power meter.
