Hi all,
I've been reading about this whole 35is vs 35i w/ tune and the I guys always state that with the tune it'll be as fast, (some say faster than) the IS. I was bored and decided to check out the dyno charts of ESS.

Here are some rough call outs- (the graphs is not too detailed.)

35is @ 3000= a bit over 225-230hp, torque 370lb
35i @ 3000=200hp, torque 350lb

35is @ 4000= 315hp, torque 407lb
35i @ 4000=270hp, torque 350lb

35is @ 5000= a bit over 354, torque 370ish lb
35i @ 5000=320ish hp, torque 320ish lb

35is @ 6000= 330ish hp, torque 290ish lb
35i @ 6000=363hp, torque 315ish lb

Anyways you can see that the way the cars make the power is different. The 35is seems to be low to mid powerband where as the 35i is more top end based.

The point I am trying to make is that on paper, with numbers only, it looks like you can make a bootleg 35is with after market tune because peak hp numbers are close. But looking at the ESS graphs you can see that the torque/hp is higher overall, and the 35is has a wider power band.

The 35i powerband reminds me of civic turbos which only make power way up top.

Im not trying to bash anyone here so please don't take it that way. I just wanted to bring more info to the table for those choosing between the 2 cars.

look at the charts and you'll see there's more to the story.
