Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Van Aaken- BD Power

[RBSOB]

Any one using or familiar with the above type "box"? I tried a search but no help. A friend recently installed one and his ''seat of the pants'' report is that it is more consistent power and overall more power than the EZ it replaced. Any other input? Thanks Jim G.

I would agree with your friend that it has more low end, but overall (or peak HP) power is REALLY close between the two. I have driven both extensively and MUCH prefer the VA over the EZ, but cannot decide which has more power overall.





You could not trade me two more EZ's for the VA I have now. started with the VA, went to an EZ, and did not look back when I got another VA.



No-one get me wrong, the EZ does EXACTLY what it is advertised to do, it just did not do what I wanted and the VA did.

Dyno Testing

Maybe you could get some dyno data for us. That would be quite valuable.

I plan to dyno the two, I'd like to see what my Van Aaken can do. Seat-of-the-pants, it's all in combination with a TST Powermax 3.

I'll test it against an EZ when I get everything lined up. Spool up with a Van Aaken and PDR Hx-40 on there is nothing short of vicious !
