Josh42 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hi all, decided to run my car on the Dyno to see how healthy everything was looking and how many of my ponies had jumped the fence. My car is a 1993 NA Auto Aerotop. It produced 217nm of torque and 197.3 BHP. Need i say my car is TOTALLY stock. Obviously I know a good service will bring back some of my wild ponies but was wondering what you guys would recommend using in the way of spark plugs/oil? Also any other ideas to gain some of my power back? Thanks Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Give it a good service. Use Denso Iridium IK 16 Plugs. - They helped me out regards, Herbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Nice one herbert, would you not recommend NGK iridium plugs? Thanks Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Try the iridiums and see how you get on. A nice panel filter (blitz - keep stock air box FTW), double decat and a 2.5" stainless cat back system may bring your car back to a healthy out-the-factory figure. I done these to mine before I had a dyno run and hit 220bhp which I was quite pleased with. A FULL service with these small upgrades will help to get the best out of your engine. Try all these before you start to consider any expensive alternatives mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Will give them a go mate. Can't say I was disappointed with 197.3. I think after 18 years, it could of been worse. Thanks Mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh42 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Went up to see Keron and he supplied all my service bits. Also managed to get hold of a TRD filter which will be fitted when received. Good to see what difference the oil, oil filter, fuel filter and spark plugs have made=] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Are you going to Dyno it after? Would like to see the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Will be dyno as soon as possible yeah=] I know it won't be a huge difference but good to see what a good old service and a relatively small amount of cash will get you.
