DYNO : Orange Maxima
i dont think anyone is questioning the limits of the software or the differences between UAE and US Maximas, it's just when you can't lock in a 1:1 ratio it makes it hard to get accurate dyno pulls. without the explanation of how it actually was accomplished i dont think anyone really will believe it without knowing how it was accomplished seeing as countless American dyno tuners/vendors have tried and can't get consistent pulls from the dyno and CVT. even Uprev has no idea, if Uprev could offer a standard tune for our Maxima they would just like the others. i just think you all are seriously underestimating the skill/resources of the American vendors/companies who have already tried this for years and come back with nothing. i just think its much more likely that something is off with the dyno pulls (although 270 is a believable number) than the OP owns the only Maxima that doesnt continously shift..
I agree with you... I believe that something( no clue to what) was done, I just feel like we shouldn't downplay the results.. Especially when the figures are reasonable and believable.... Someone knows how to ACCURATELY dyno this car, whether it be Nissan Japan, or some tuner overseas, they just need to share the info... Lol... Everyday new things are being developed. You have the first sequential tail lights some concept I thought about, but was never feasible, I wanted those custom door sills... And look... So all I am saying is... The numbers are not to the point where this is impossible...
Wouldn't the HP loss be expected to be a bit larger than 20hp?
I guess the real question is, just how much power does the CVT sap?
10% 20%
I believe most automatic transmissions typically lose 20-30%.
Any thoughts?
Maybe a stupid question but how is 270 hp at the wheels believable for a car putting out 290 at the crank?

after that i put bolts on + Uprv and i got this number
and i will give you other example for my frind car ... he have G37 sedan 4 doors and as we know it have 330hp on crank but on the weals it have 273hp after he put bolts on + Uprv he get 331hp that was more than crank hp
and I want to get a real number more than 290hp on weals

just tell me when you will come
I spoke to one of my friend whos doing dynos here in dubai UAE for various cars.. a friend of mine also got his 370z dynoed in the sqme place with only a ypipe exhaust from the US and he got 290s on whp..but he gave me the same response for cvt on a maxima.. and he also told me that it might drop my numbers if we try to tune it.. well bahrain do have excelent tuners and tuned cars.. but can only decide after going to the tuner in bahrain itself..!
331hp at the wheels from bolt ons and tune on a g37? Time for me to investigate with my buddy's over at the g forums. If they have seen the it, then OP did what he said he did and we can look further into his to make ours do it. If they say not possible then there is a flaw, and its Probly in the way the Dyno read it.
Like the mustang dynos, they read super low, there some dynos that read super high.

I hop i can help you more
We truely need to know his Mod List to know anything, all I know is he got a Intake-Y-pipe and a Tune, for a 44hp increase to the wheels...
maxima 35 care to share the list of parts on the car....

maxima 35 care to share the list of parts on the car....
ok I will teel you :
+2 Degree
Y pipe
R2C Intake
Stillen Pully
CJX Spacers
stock muffler
remove center catless
Remove plastic piece at the entrance to the air filter ( idont know how explane it )
Reduce the size of the wheels 18 inch
Uprv Tune
6800 RPM
is that Enough to get 44hp

and soon I will fix Exhaust + headers
and I hope if there is more part i can fix it

the OP unfortunately no longer has the car, believe it was totalled.
and no, you can't get solid numbers on a dyno with our CVT because it has no dyno mode to lock in a 1:1 gear ratio (some other CVT's have this). OP was never able to explain how he produced the results, so personally i dont buy it. its not that the stated numbers are too high or anything, just that you can't dyno a car when the transmission doesn't lock in gear, the results are going to be different every pull and depending on what gear the CVT feels like being in will show either too low or too high of a result.

no, those are electronically simulated gears and have a built-in feature to auto-shift if you red-line it for a few seconds. trust me if moving the shifter over to the left solved the problem, there wouldn't be a debate.
Has anyone tried a power vs mph pulls on a dynojet? It seems that if you can't lock in a certain gear, that you could do a pull from say 20mph to speed limit. That should get you a good hp curve, however tq will not be read correctly since gear ratio is constantly changing.

dyno pulls are usually like $100 for 3 or somethin, you guys can hit up a local shop and try different techniques to see if you can figure it out. ive been on the dyno 3 times now (about to be 4) at 3 different shops including Hill's Garage (Frank Hill is a Nissan/Infiniti specialist ex-Nissan master tech and ex-AAM Competition technician) and unfortunately there are no tricks to dyno'ing the CVT that anyone has been able to document and repeat yet. the GTR-mechanic who is doing my FI build reached out through his network to see if anyone knew, and the best response he got was "why are you dyno'ing a CVT?" lol
