From 026004.pdf, page AT-21 in the FSM, to test the transmission for electrical or mechanical problems.
Clearly this locks the gearbox in 4th gear, and would allow dyno testing from idle to redline. There is a nice little diagram of which wire to disconnect that I can't post here. So, can we stop the discussion about kickdown and move on with real tests unaffected by the electronic transmission controls?

so now suddenly the dyno is accepted??? You guys are so full of crap it is comedy. The best part is, the results will be the same as Fujita's and I'll be able to laugh even harder at "all your knowledge"!! Just like I did when this test was completed.

Have you guys read the thread linked on the other site? Seems like there are more than just cayman and I that think the procedures used were wrong. Why don't you go over there and make fun of them?

I'd call that brave with all the electronics required just to gain entry to the car. Sure they're great batteries, but they don't have the kind of reserve you might want for all the gadgets that have to work before you can start the car.

On another note, these aftermarket intakes usually help on the top end because the theory is that the stocker is too restrictive in the upper RPM range. Unless the Fujita is creating some 'Tornado' like 'Vortex' (LOL!) that lets more air in when none of the intakes should be held back by restriction, the differences in the mid-range should be negligible. That's ~25% more power, which is FI territory, friend. You gotta be stuffing 5 maybe 6 addiitional psi more than the stock intake to get that kind of power.
Finally, heat soak is a real issue with these intakes. While it is true that once you're moving, you'll get enough air to take care of the heat, it doesn't take into consideration where you're forced to sit such as at a stoplight or staging for a run on the track. The engine might cool down by the time your run is over, which will be too little too late.

I doubt heat soak on these intake pipes will last for more than a few seconds if you monitor IAT via OBD-II. I wrapped my AEM CAI with Thermotec insulation for this very reason, and it didn't make any measurable difference.
