Here is the news:


I went to DRT Racing yesterday and dynoed my car for the first time.

I did 5 pulls on their dyno with what I feel, are poor results. This dyno session was to establish a baseline before I started to upgrade the performance of my car. Thus far, I have only enhanced the handling, braking (more on this in another thread ) and looks of the car.

The results are:

Run 1: 165.60 hp
Run 2: 169.94 hp
Run 3: 163.83 hp
Run 4: 170.82 hp
Run 5: 176.01 hp

I couldn't pull up the torque figures (the guy downloaded the info onto a disk) so I will call him on Monday to find out why.

In any case, I would like to know what is Nissan's % loss for an automatic. If it is 20% to 25% then I guess that I am in the ballpark.

This all leads me to my first performance mod. Right after the dyno I went to Jeff's place (Maximus75) and had him install my new INJEN intake. As usual, Jeff did a great job, right down to the details of making sure the INJEN logos were all facing up. I ended up going back there this morning since I left my video camera at his shop. I videod the Dyno runs which I will post soon. I also ended up meeting PCGuRu2K and Pmp-n8a at Jeff's place and props to both of them on their rides....especially "Mr. Turbo".

So now that I have established my baseline, I will dyno in about 2 weeks to get the results of this mod. This way I will get hard evidence as to the gains, instead of relying on the "butt dyno" which so far says better low end but slightly less top end.

I would like to know if any other stock 2K or 2K1 auto has dynoed and what the results were (SAE corrected). Any opinions/comments are welcome.

thanks

 

Looks about right for the 2K VQ30DE-K auto. Kinda disapointing when the car is advertised with 222hp, huh? I plan on doing a few dyno runs with mine in a month or so ... I'll let you know what they end up at. I'm going to put my stock intake back on before the runs. The K&N whistle is starting to drive me nuts!

 

Don't forget to PM me DRT's phone# so I can give them a call. I wanna get my dyno done before I pop a SC on

Here is the link. All the info is there: http://www.drtracing.com/

Anyone else have any opinions or Dyno stats on a 2K or 2K1 auto??

 

from what i've read in the past, your dyno numbers for a 5th gen, excluding the 2k2, is about right for an auto. The percentage I believe was somewhere of a loss between 20-30% of total hp at the crank.

222hp * 30%= loss of 66.6 hp = 155.4 (lowest)
222hp * 20%= loss of 44.4 hp = 177.6 (highest)

of course all this is theoretically speaking....

 

Those #s look about right. Remember the extra 30hp is at 6400rpm vs what the 4th gen does. I personally seen 2 bone stock 97se autos dyno 145-148whp/155-158wtq. Also for tranny loss just use the difference in torque at 4000rpm vs what nissan says is at the flywheel. The 4th gen autos seem to lose 40-50lbs in the auto but only 25-35tq in the 5spds.

 

Great........thanks guys for the verification and clarification on tranny loss.

I still would like to hear from another member who has dynoed a stock 2K or 2K1. Come on..........somebody post up their SAE corrected figures.

 

Pretty close.

SterlingMist00,

What were the increases after the injen intake? Or have you not dynoed it yet, cause I thought you said you did run it after that.

Haven't re-dynoed yet. Will do so either this Friday or next. Car felt great in the cool 49 degree morning. Nice power. I will shortly create a custom "ram air" to the Injen filter so when I pull from a light it will funnel cold air directly to the filter.

When I re-dyno I will post the results of the Injen intake addition.

Will add an Unorthodox UDP and Y-pipe next (at seperate times).....and dyno again of course to verify any gains.

 

have you looked around here...

Well pardon me all over the place...............

Thanks, much appreciated.
