Does anyone know the stock dyno numbers for a '97 (or any other 4th gens)? I remember hearing some rumor that Nissan 'lied' about the 190 HP numbers to avoid a higher luxury tax. BTW- do the dyno numbers change for a 5-speed vs. an autotragic? Someone told me in theory they would...

 

190 is crank output. Drivetrain loss has not been accounted for.

I think you got that mixed up with the 3.5L max. They said it was 255hp where it was more like 245 or so but the real TQ number was around 260-265 where they advertised it as 246 or so. Either way this is the wrong forum to ask.

 

go to where bonka told you to go...good write up on it. And I forgive you for posting on the wrong forum
