Just curious to know what kind of power is being created from the VE crowd. I have hopes for my 93 SE, but wanted to know what others were getting in order to help me determine if this car is the right place to start a project or if I should go with a newer model. My goal is to have a reliable driver that has the power and handling to take on most any 4 door.

What is your HP & Torque?
How did you get it? Naturally Aspirated or not?
Is your car a reliable daily driver?
How many miles on engine?

 

Check the dyno section of this site.

 

dunno, enough to get me in trouble and then some
NA, lots o mods
yes, a fun one too
132,807, maybe 132,813


it turns good too

 

190BHP@5,600rpms & 190BTQ@4,000rpms

I push on the gas pedal


N/A

Yes
IIRC 164,XXX miles and still idles smoothly

 

Factory stock specs.

All I did was buy the car. It must've come standard with the engine. j/k

NA of course.

It has been, and better continue to be.

118,000 and counting.

A little better than factory stock specs for now. Aiming to put the go with some boost in the form of Eaton M90 Superchaged in the near future.

Stock engine is very peppy, beastish at the flick of the pedal. I have no problem taking mostly stock 4th gens, therefore hondas shouldnt be problem, just got to watch out for bimmers/some mercedes and the likes.

Naturally Aspirated or not?

NA at the moment.

It is... for now. Should be later anyways.

Paul, as you know you have 190hp / 190ft lbs torque stock at the flywheel. My last dyno was 175hp and 185ft lbs torque. That's about 210hp and 222 ft lbs torque if you use a 20% drive train loss. (manual tranny). That's with all na mods. intake/y pipe/catback and JWT ecu. I've sinced added a better catback and put on an UDP. I've also seen VE 5-sps dyno as high as 185hp but I forget their torque #. I don't race much but this car feels ALOT better than it was stock. And I've had the chance to drive a near stock maxima.

There are alot of fast 4 doors out now, S4, BMW 3 series, Subaru Legacy turbo, WRX, STI, EVO. But this car as it stands can still hold it's own to a lot of 4 door cars and still have plenty of room for 4. Unless you go with a 4-gen maxima, you would have to spend quite a bit more for the same fun/performance.

 

i have no idea but i have a y-pipe, UDP, ported heads and intake, CAI - and adding in the next month - fidanza flywheel, excedy stage one clutch, greddy exhaust, new rims wider tires (im sick of sawblades) and probably eliminating the converter and putting in a test pipe. and while in the process replacing the o2 sensor, knock sensor sub-harness and a few other sensors cause i want to... might even bypass the throttle body coolant.....im hopin for at least 200+ to the wheels

 

Well its about 30 more than a vg30.But about 30 to 50 less than my vg30.I would have got a ve but dam the vtc crap. They are nice though. Ive drove a few and they have nice pull.Just wish I had a chance to drive one with a lot of bolt ons.

 

my VG30 has 19300 miles and runs great but it has been idling really load this belt runs really fast and loud.

 

along with the fidanza and the cold air intake, before you just had the pop charger.


maybe once I get the rest of my stuff done I'll go in for a run

 

me too

lol

 

Eric, you know there is a little button on the bottom of the whole reply box that says "Show your signature" right? heehehehheheh

 

1992 maxima SE 5 speed.
lots of NA mods...lots and lots.
dyno as of maybe a month and a half ago: these are SAE corrected numbers
195HP@5800rpm
i know the torque was 190ftlb, but i dont remember what RPM..
raw numbers were 207HP, 203ftlb.
its reliable now that i've replaced the motor and transmission
6300 miles on the motor/tranny, estimated.

 

10char

 

10char

TY

I thought I had to be a donating member

 

when I get new tires I'll dyno my max again. I have the wrong size and it kills some torque. maybe spring time.

 

awaiting for a trip for a dyno but estimate 220 at crank N/A reliable or something really stupid happens "like runs out of gas" 232k on motor will prob never see 240k since I got a motor awaiting assembly. got chains tensioner and sprocket for the stealership yesterday je pistons are being shipped toga hp bearings are being shipped, and when pistons arive send out the block with piston to be cleaned bored and honed then swap a few things from my motor to that one and i got nice nitrous ready motor.

 

Our motor has 10:1 compression, i thought it was already ok for runnning up to 100-150 shot of nitrous ?

 

For some reason I thought we had 11:1, but I cracked open the FSM and your right 10:1. And the VG is 9:1.

 

yes the vg loves Boost. Although with a built ve boost would be nice too. I will shoot a
125 shot to a stock motor all day long. Just keep an eye on fuel pressure.

 

it is ok as long as its tuned properly, and if i was going to continue using nitrous as my primary means of FI i would try a 200 shot but my solinoids are not rated past 175 so i would have to upgrade
