I have a 04 6spd with just a cold air intake.I know they come 265hp to the crank but i'm not sure about whp.I haven't done a dyno so i'm not sure what the car produces.

I intend to add a 3pc spacer kit,fully catback,BOP,y-pipe,timing advance, and a light weight crank pulley.How much power should I produce with the bolt on's,and how much whp should I expect?

 

I dyno'd my 05 6 speed with just a Fujita intake and it averaged 229whp on 3 pulls.

 

That's all.Wow I thought it would be more.What are you running on a 1/4 mile? Because the best I did was 15.5 on my 2nd time at the tracks.

 

15-20hp

 

All that damn money for such little hp gain. Oh well. I just hope I can keep up with the altima's that I race against in the car club i'm with

 

HP is not cheap bro. 5K to push around 400whp with a turbo.

 

5-7K is just for the turbo,and then you gotta do another 3-5K to build a good tranny that will support all that power,then you gotta rebuild your engine.

That's too much money to invest in a car that I drive 90km a day to and from work.A V6 turbocharge driving that much means i'll be living at the pumps.

 

I hear you.

 

What about a 08 maxima with CVT?

 

maybe the CVT give more whp :3

 

I really couldn't tell you about the 6.5gens, especially when they only come in auto. I'd assume they produce the same power. Maybe the seniors can answer that for you

 

save your money and stop trying to make this car fast its a money pit !!!!!

 

I hear you man, that's why I'm just doing bolt ups, no more than $1200. My car is too old but I got some modified altima's that whoop my my ***,so my goal is to be able to run with them

 

$500 nitrous wet shot kit and keep it at a 50 shot ...


/thread

 

Nitros is illegal up here and if you get caught with it you'll be fined and if your insurance was to know of that mod they will automatically put you in a high risk category or cancel your policy.

So for that reason I just want the bolt on that can't be seen. I'm not building a race car, I just want it to stand out from the rest

 

They have less HP then the 04-06s.

 

I heard that too they have less hp 255 over 265 for the 04-06 BUT with the tranny and some other stuff i heard it was a bit more powerfull OR exactly the same

any videos of a 6 gen vs 6.5 gen ?

 

Most cars have roughly a 15% drivetrain loss between crank hp and wheel hp. Automatics generaly dyno lower than standard transmission and so far there's no accurate way to dyno a car with a CVT transmission.

I've never run a 1/4th mile, closest one is a few hours away. My best 1/8th mile time is in my sig. In the 1/4th mile that would equate out to a low 14 second run.

 

from a dig its a damn shame *facepalm* the CVT gets smoked .... from a roll 2 cars or so the 5at is faster ... the CVT is Decent from about 30 to 100 and thats it ....0-30mph is crap

yea you should be at mid to low 14's

 

Nice numbers what type of dyno...

 

6th gen and 6.5 have the same hp numbers, the decrease is due to the way hp numbers are calculated.

 

Maybe it has a lot to do with the wear on the engine,because i've seen youtube videos with the 6thgen vs the 6.5gen and the 6.5gen beat the 6thgen off the start but after 120ish km/h the 6thgen started gaining.

It's really hard to say which one has more because the race was between two automatic cars.Maybe if it was a 6spd the outcome would be different

 

Wrong, they do not, 07-08 255hp & 04-06 265

Ive never had a 6.5 beat me in anyway.

 

I never even got to race one. They don't modify those cars over here. They just put some rims,tint and ugly chrome grill and that's it.

 

Dynomite Dynamometer. Can get you the serial # if you want.

 

I agree but thats just me. I think its a fine daily driver and it works well.

 

This model cannot handle more power; the transmission is too weak for what it has any way. What is it with modern cars and transmissions... I wanted an acura TL; same problem. I bought this only because it was cheap and had awesome power. But now the transmission is going. I think my next car will be a G35

 

Correct, the numbers were revised down due to the SAE rating calculations. My 04, under the new rating system puts out the same HP as an 08, no detuning involved.

From Edmonds, "The V6 offered by the more recent models in this generation boasts 255 hp, while older models list a higher rating (265). This is the result of a new power rating procedure enacted in 2007. Actual engine performance was unchanged."

One of the clearer explainations here. http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=589568

And it has been covered here many times over the years.

 

Don't give me wrong. I get what you all are saying. I don't intend to go all out on the performance. I don't intend to do any weight reduction but I do want it to do early 14's or late 13's and i'll be happy with it.

It's my all purpose car. I go to work with it every day, I go to car shows, and I take it to the tracks. I'm not moding it up too much that it spends most of the time in the garage. I just want it to stand out from the ones I past on the streets

 

hitting 13's in that with the 5AT will take some modding ... low 14's yea possible ...

 

It's not a automatic bro.It's a 6speed manual with some bolt on mods coming

 

My max made Around 230/255 3 years ago in 3rd gear, and earlier this year I got around 230/235 in 4th. It's a 04 6spd. Here's the video if your interested. http://youtu.be/CQ5rwpfl44o

 

I hope you get it for looks and RWD, other then that, I smoke them.

 

Lol.I use to be a fan of the infiniti and i'm slowly loosing faith in the 350Z especially since i've seen an accord owned a Z.My boy got a 04 altima with bolt on's and He kills them 350Z.

Especially if it's an automatic,boring I'll stay with my maxima for now

 

It makes not enough power.

 

Exactly and you have a back seat. Complete win bro. I smoke 350z like nothing, even the manual ones. They look fast but that's it. I love the sleeper kind we have.

 

I can't wait till next spring when I slap on all them bolt on's and take the car to the tracks.Like i'll be laughing if I beat one of those infiniti of Z. My boy gets under-estimated all the time when he race them.

They usually laugh at him but he always kills them.

 

WHAT IS BOP??

 

where do you live that nitrous is iilegal?
