Dyno
Did the dyno...was hoping for a little better numbers but otherwise went really well. I will start a new thread when Hype (who is doing me a big favor by posting my dyno on his site...Thanks Hype) Anywho, just some little info. Had a peak HP increase of about 8-12, but it seemed that my RPM Switch wasn't switching over until about 200-500 RPMs after the desired RPM.
An added note is that when I went...the dyno is actually at a Mustang place. And they said we were putting close to the V-8 mustangs that they normally dyno with heads and exhaust. They were also impressed the the bolt on collector had such a huge increase over stock. They couldnt' believe it. They were just standing in awe over the dyno. It was cool. I keep you guys posted.

Re: Dyno
How did you wire your rpm switch, off the coil or the tach?
My VI dyno had the same effect on the place I took my max to! The shop I took my max to dyno specializes in turbocharging VW's. Almost all work inside the shop stopped when the tech compared my baseline to the VI dyno on the computer. The general consensus was that for $600 the VI was a great hp/$ ratio.

These VI manifolds are off of middle eastern and japanese vehicles, are all fo these 3.0L? Because I've seen valve covers with V6 2000, or V6 2500 on them, would that mean that the manifold ports are smalller than the 3000 ports/runners? Would this be the cause as to why the peak hp gains aren't noticed as much? Because the ME cars have 220 at the crank? Just a thought.
It was nice to see the Mustang guysd impressed with the numbers layed down.

We should go to Roswell to test it out on the track.

I mean the 5th gen's have 222hp, what different with them? Maybe the ME cars have similar changes that the 5th gen's have, but without the body change?

I'm guessing that Cranman's peak hp is at 184-190hp,no? If so, taking the conservative estimate, 184hp, that tranlates to 184/0.83=221 crank hp. Not bad, since this is a full US emissions legal VQ with mods compared to the ME VQ standard Nissan motor, with probably much less emissions and ECU stuff to watch for emissions.
Anyone ever notice on ROadBeast's car his temp indicator ran much lower then on US Maximas. The temp gages hovers around the middle on our cars, but the ME maxima, it normally stays at about a 3rd way up. Maybe that has to do with something as well, concerning the differences.

I know it's open weekends for sure, I'll have to check for sure what hours etc. But yeah, I also remember road beats tmp gauge running real low, compared to ours. God I loved hearing that thing on the dyno.

You ever spent a summer in NYC or even Atlanta?? Very hot and absolutely killer humidity. I think Houston's like that as well. AC is not an option in those regions. It's an absolute MUST. I mention this b/c if our VQ is gonna be able to sit in rush hour traffic with the windows closed, blasting our AC without the cooling system breaking a sweat, I think it's safe to assume that we have
a very robust cooling system. Probably the same as the ME VQs.

Re: HP
A 40 HP correction upwards?? What altitude are you at?? How much above sea level?? My dyno was SAE corrected downards by 8 HP. I guess us NorthEasterner's benefit quite a bit from being at or near sea level.

With my numbers SAE corrected, they went down, not up. I was 165 uncorrected, and 155 corrected.
This was at both Dyno places i went to.
How could yours go up? Not that I disbelieve you, I just don't understand....

Well, maybe not, b/c the VI seems to straighten or stretch out the power curve horizontally rather than vertically. Still very beneficial. Anyways, maybe you shoud re-name yourself ChuckYeagerMaxima

can't wait
hey John,
Can't wait to see your dyno graphs...
and I can't wait to put my ME VI on too. 8^)
For you CA maximas, I've planned out the upgrade
so you only need the RPM switch and 2 relays.
No vacuum this, vacumm that... Cheaper, faster,
cleaner, etc...
I'll post once I finish my school project and finals
(also work fulltime). S*cks how everything piles
up after the 3 day weekend...

Here's the http://www.vanillaice.com/webmasters/hype/mrc/mevi.htmDynoes. Sorry it took me so long to get them up, but the only time I had to make the spreadsheet was today at the airport
Here's my take. I would LOVE to have a JWT ECU with this mod due to the extended top end. The graphs with different VI opening rpms all look very similiar, but of course the curve is shifted around slightly. The strange thing to me is that there seems to be a delay between when the VI opens and when the dip occurs (around 200-400 rpms). 5000 still seems to be the best opening point, but the dip still bothers me I can't wait to install my VI either
