So what are the average wheel horsepower numbers for a stock 02/03 Maxima with 6-speed manual? Nissan claims 255 at the crank, with a 15% loss to the wheels, it's about 216whp. Is that about right? Another question, do the maximas have balance shafts? Can they be removed for extra whp?

 

O...DEAR....GOD

1. delete thread
2. research
3. post in newbie thread

 

The Dyno thread is the place to go for this info. I suggest reading a bit around there for some details.


Cliffs:

5.5 gen 6 spd stock peak WHP is around 202-210.
It is generally accepted that Nissan probably overrated their advertised HP numbers.

 

Negative feedback sent to mods!

 

I thought we had a subforum for this type of question.

 

interesting.. i didn't know that

 

you know, i've been wondering the answer to that question by the OP lately, but never cared QUITE enough to research it

 

 

what was your justification for doing that? you didnt get spoonfed?
should i send feedback for you starting a pointless thread with a question that is already available.

 

So I have to ask since this topic was already made. Do other makers generally overate these numbers from engine output compared to the wheels?

 

I have a fairly decent post explaining it all from my experience on here and my own personal experience, but I can’t find it , so

Think before you post.

You really need to spend more time items of interest in the 5th gen forum. I too was like you when I bought my 5th gen, I had the urge, and then actually read the stickys and did my research on subjects that I was interested in and have only posted VERY minimally, and those posts are either people hitting my car or items that have not been done yet.

Honda/Acura is fairly accurate, @ that 'relation'. Nissan has been, but for the A33B/L31 Maxima/Altima, not so much.

 

If you spend some time in the dyno forum, you'll see that a lot of the files posted their show that the A33B actually has more tq than hp, which does make sense. Nissan rated the car 255 hp / 246 lb-ft tq. First off, with the whp numbers on a stock car, that would indicate around a 20% drivetrain loss on a 6 speed. This kind of loss is more common with the AT, and really doesn't make much sense (even though some others would argue the heavier flywheel has something to do with it).

It seems much more likely that when developing the car, Nissan marketed a higher hp # and a lower tq # to offset. It's easier to sell hp than tq, even though it is the torque that makes these cars fun to drive.

 

ok... i don't quite see what your problem is with my post... i do research on the things i care about.. but if i don't care enough to research it, then i won't.. i don't start pointless threads anymore.. i admit, i've had my share of pointless threads, lol.. but i don't do that anymore.. i have no need to post-*****, so there's nothing wrong with posting a random thought on a subject that's already being discussed

 

 

So, your last useless post was your MPG thread, ah, so you learned.

 

THe mods generally agree that when it comes to subjects beat to death new threads about the same thing arent welcome. Posts like this are pretty much the reason I dont really contribute to this subforum any more

 

Contribute?

 

Your on a roll today...Go get um cowboy

 

Show me, in detail; how I’m on a 'roll'.

 

Not worth the effort. Don't worry about it.

 

 

Wow..original

At least my post count is now one higher.. One day I'll have master postwhoring skillz like you

 

somebody woke up on the wrong side of bed

 

so you are saying that NmexMAX has a high post count from whoring and not posting valuable info?

 

not doubting his contributions, but I am sure we could all go without a couple thousand of those 23+ thousand. Posts like this one come to mind.

Lets do everyone a favor and lock this thread and stop the postwhorin

 

just because it says mpg in the title doesn't automatically deem it useless.. searching alone could not have answered all of the questions and concerns discussed in the thread

 

i love when people try to justify pointless threads that they start

 

Sticking up for ******!

10k-20k worth of real posts would include a full breakdown of R&R of the Max plus installs for every mod available with reviews...

 

lol good point

 

most of his posts are in the all motor and other sub-forum...forums you never visit that provide info you dont know

 

Most of my points are in the all motor and other sub-forum? I mainly stay here and read in some of the other forums. The only reason I post most here is because I have to call out more BS!!! So the noobs don't feel unwelcomed and leave the forum.

Only a guess but I bet over 80% of my posts have been in the 5th gen forum.

He just doesn't see me here that much and thinks I'm in other places but I don't ***** myself out for the .org

 

Ahh my bad! I don't think you were talking about me...Oh well

 

im talking about the person you guys are running your mouths about - NmexMAX

 

My post in # 28 was about both ya.






Bring it

 

so both of us postwhore and dont contribute anything?

interesting

Ahh yes, a little over 500 of the good posts in the newb thread. The only place you guys can be considerate. Great job. I don't see Irish running around here postwhoring everything with useless BS posts.

Oh, and I never said you guys don't contribute to anything. Find a post where I did. I can find thousands of posts where you didn't contribute though

Interesting

 

josh is a mod...he is nice now.
we are considerate...if the new thread isnt a beat to death topic.

 

So, you have to be a mod to be nice

I guess everybody else should just go on a flamethrowing whorefest!

 

man just lock this thread, its not even on topic anymore.

 

so what happened with this
