How much hp will I see with these mods
As you may know I totaled my car, and am buying it back from insurance, putting the 1993 SE 5 speed into a 1992 SE auto. While the car is out (and thanx to my insurance) I am going to be installing a UDP, Stillen aluminium flywheel, aftermarket clutch (probably not Centerforce, heard too many bad things, any suggestions?), CAI, Y-pipe, high flow cat, Greddy cat back exhaust, and reprogrammed ECU (should I go with JWT or Stillen?). With these mods what kind of hp am I looking at achieving? I figure conservatively 230?
Does JWT have a website (for the ECU)?

With all the bolt-on's you're probably looking at about 185 (more if the ECU is as good as it claims) or so hp...
Speaking of that I need to dyno mine.

Oops. I am glad that I asked this question. Let me redo my math.
Extra crank hp?
UDP 9hp
ECU 10hp
Cai and exhaust 10hp
Total 30ish?
Then take out the tranny ineffeciency, and maybe get 25 at the wheels. As you guys are saying. Are these mods going to make much of a difference on my buttdyno? I would imagine that the aluminium flywheel while not adding hp, will help it rev quicker, and not put as much of a drain on my now diminished hp (less rotating mass).
(Why can't I just stay in my dream world?)

i think youll be seeing 180 at the wheels.. at most.

VQ guys with most all the bolt-ons (minus ECU) are pushing like 185-188 hp. However they usually have slightly better hp and torque numbers, still comparable to the VE though.
If the ECU will really give you 12-15 hp like they claim, then you'll be up there relatively close to 200 WHP. I've never seen a VE 5spd dyno from a car that was actually fully modded. Keep in mind Dirksmoothe got 168 hp and 178 tq from his VE AUTO with just CAI and GReddy. I'd say 200 WHP from the 5spd is pretty attainable.
I'll get 200 WHP from my 5spd when I finally get it.
Maxima_Van_WA...to be honest...what I felt most on the butt dyno was the CAI. I thought I'd feel the y-pipe more, but surprisingly it was the CAI by far on the butt-dyno.

WSP dynoed a VE 5spd with 2.5" ypipe, carsound cat, and catback with results of 149hp and 164tq with that setup a CAI would add about 8hp, pulley 6hp, ECU 8hp, flywheel 10hp..
the results will vary cause not all maximas are the same but those are relatively what you are looking at for gains. cat/catback would add close to nothing.

Just to add to all of this, all of these mods are planned for my VE engine with 59,095 miles on it. I guess what my original purpose to the thread, is to ask that after putting on said mods, will I be dramatically quicker than a stock SE? For shist and giggles, let's say I can get a quarter mile time stock of said 15.5. What would could I theoretically get (If I was good at drag racing) in the quarter with the mods on? Even more simple, let's say I raced my stock car with my modded car from 0 to 100, about how many car lenghts ahead would the modded car be?

Maxima_Van_Wa...fully modded VE's should run mid-low 14's depending on driver.
Lol and what kinda question is the 0-100 thing?
