[@jamespaul1835]

I have an FK8 I have a hunch that this newer type R’s minor increase in power is simply the result of more boost.

[@jankisty9704]

turbo is diff

[@HondataInc]

Thank you for watching our videos, but yes the FK8 and FL5 have different turbos so that could be the reason for more power.

[@mdev8846]

The limit is 100 octanes RON fuel ( with standard ECU ). If you want to win power with 102 octanes ron fuel, for example, then you must change some parameters of the ECU or put on a different ECU.

The "93 octane" appears to help with timing corrections since the torque curve is smoother. Maybe there are also IAT compensations that are limiting ignition advance?

Any difference with engine cooling when on the dyno compared to the fk8 ? 😊

[@dougmacmillan7613]

The dyno test procedure for the FK8 and FL5 are identical and have been for 20 years. However to read a little into your reply, yes the FK8 cooling for racetrack use was not adequate. The FL5 front seems to funnel more air to the radiator. Cooling temps under a sustained high load were not tested on the dyno.

[@jankisty9704]

the biggest change is, that FK8 is running hot after few minutes and down to 280 HP +/-

So the FL5 in asian and european countries are rated at 93 octain and their car is advertised 10 more HP than in North American’s FL5. If adding higher octane doesn’t boost HP in North American FL5, does that mean it needs to be tuned to handle 93 octane? If so, can we simply flash the european/asian cars FL5 tune to north american FL5, given that 93 octane is available?

[@ins_hane]

I think the only reason the fk8 is faster in a straight line is because of thinner tires and less functional aero. Hondata, what do you think is the biggest improvement from the new car and why did you buy it? Can’t wait to see more on this fl5!

[@HondataInc]

We think the handling of the FL5 is better stock vs stock. More content coming soon with the FL5 Stay tuned.

[@divscuba7096]

Nice video. One aspect I don't really understand. The top design engineer for this car has apparently spent many years making minor adjustments to get the most out of the engine/gearbox/ecu etc for optimum performance. How can Hondata come along and I'm guessing will improve the performance by another 20%~..... doesn't really make sense

Doug mentioned that they use this Dyno for reference. Not all dynos will read the same for a perfect example is the one that Hondata uses reads 317 on a stock Fk8 versus the one at Jsr Engines read 284. That’s something you really want to keep in mind. Also, the new FL5 has two more psi of boost. Until tuning is available we will not know if the FL5 can actually produce more power than the FK8.

[@dougmacmillan7613]

@@1bojanbojan The scientific way of making a fair comparison is to test on the exact dyno that Honda tests on. We do not have access to that but we have access to thousands of other stock Honda dyno runs. For example we can compare this to a stock FK8 with a similar number of miles accelerating the engine at 500rpm/second to even out the effect of rotational inertia.

[@1bojanbojan]

@@dougmacmillan7613 that I agree.

[@dougmacmillan7613]

That's a fair conversion from lb-ft, but let's look at a torque comparison to the FK8.On that car, which we own, the torque measures 330 lb ft. but more importantly and more accurately is to say is that the FL5 makes 360/330 = 1.09 or 9% more peak torque than the FK8. We have found that all Honda turbo vehicles are under-rated for power and torque.
