Wow... this is a de-k build thread and you got people starting all sorts of drama... the guy started a build thread to show people what he did and explain where its going... ask for opinions guessing whp numbers to see ehos the closest and it turns into a jerry springer battle sbout 3.5 vs 3.0??? Sad day when the vtech crowd doesnt even fight this much on their forums.... you all need to grow up and cause drama elsewhere...no need for it in this thread...makes me remember why alot of guys started using alternate forums....because you all act like youre 16... get over it and stfu and keep on topic...if you want to battle out wits with one another do so elsewhere for god sakes.....

 

i agree....lol

 

yea....240-250whp

 

I agree also don't bash the next mans prediction

 

I'm going to guess 230whp tops. I hope you will get more, but I dont see anymore with just those mods.

 

My guess is 235whp.

 

245whp or 255whp

 

I say 240 plus, is there a date of the dyno....

 

Hey Kevin have you done a base pull with the current set up yet? I'm going to guess around 230-235 without extending the rev limiter and timing adjustments, 240-245 when you do . Good luck should be a fun car to drive.

 

yup lol

 

I second this. My first guess of 235whp was with stock tune/limiter but I think once it's able to be free'd up a bit with the extended rev limiter, it'll make another 10whp or so.

 

Lemme just ask 1 more time....... the only power mods the OP will have on this run is..................


OBX Headers
Cattman 3" Catback
3.5 Knock of cams
EU with 7700rmp limit.................... that's it...........

 

He is running a 2.5 inch eBay exhaust and trying to get a 3 inch cattman. Other than that just cams, headers and extended rev limiter. No porting, pftb, custom cam timing or cutout

 

mmmk... cool just making sure... i guess ill stick with my prediction....

 

Can't wait to see the dyno results cause I've been thinking about doing a build like this but with a pftb, revup cams, hg and studs on 15-20psi

 

In for results. All of you arguing should go FI.

 

I predict around 235 but then again idk how those cams really affect things.

 

lol at the F/I bandwagon. +1

 

cams may be the absolute best NA mod for a DEK as thats its biggest flaw, its the weak cams of the DEK, great move by the OP however with just those mods the OP wont see anything 250's.. but i sure hope he proves us all wrong because that gives more than hope for all DEK's... (not me) but all others who believe there is some secret hidden power that the DEK possesses that has been stored somewhere deep withing lls... however he will get decent power with it... it would be nice to know an approximate date of dyno so i dont have to keep trolling...

 

Only thing w/ upgrading cams (DEK) I was never sure on was: doesn't it generally push the power band to the right, for higher HPs? As in, you have to give up moderate lower end?

 

Not necessarily.... here is my thing, n I may open up the floodgate of ppl who will easily disagree but loosing a bit of power @3K and below I kinda don't care about n will sacrifise willingly to make power furter up, at WOT from a dead stop the car is there only once for maybe a small fraction of a second.... it does push the powerband to the right, DEK's were always kind of good at holding power but the major choke factor was the fact that nissan gave em week cams for what they say was for durability, ride comfort n lesser engine noise IIRC (loads of crap)... so even throwing mods at it we normally still get fairly week numbers for the claimed 222 or 227hp that they came with, the cams free up a lot of those HP's.... its like saying a chain is only as stong as its weakest link, n how can e make that chain stonger......... address the weak link

 

 

i say 245-250 easy with the right supporting mods for the cams, i know a local here that pulled 240 on a 5th gen with a 5spd swap, still on a auto ecu w/ a vafc2 so i would imagine untuned it can put down 240 easy and maybe 260 fully tuned correctly again just my thoughts

 

smokeVQ?... if you are in fact talking about john im suuuure as hell he had more than just intake headers n exhaust... being on a auto ECU means nothing... my 6mt swap is using auto ecu n it makes the same power as a MT...

 

then again smoke is from NJ.. ur profile said philly. n i believe smoke dynoed lik 250's... cant really remember srry if i jumped the gun lol

 

Dyno day yet??

 

From now on put up or shut up! If you are going to talk **** about whp and this and that post up a dyno of your car or STFU

 

 

Wow.......

 

Great input on the thread .... gonna say "wow" in 14 more threads??

 

Yes so build up my post count n catch up to your 19k+ post....Lolz....

WOW....

I say 235-240whp...gl to krrz350 n his friend

 

in a 2yr spand almost... only...... only 2 posts??? damn, its like you ever joined til 3 days sgo

 

Someone care to translate this^

 

I've been on this board before you grand_hustle17. I don't need to prove anything to you about any post count what so ever.

Bump for post count #3.... N more bashing from grand hustle....buwahahahahah....

 

interested too!

 

didnt say you werent here before me... you are kinda defensive like someone who is new to the forums

 

I don't need 19k post to show that I've been here forever...im new cause I only got 4 post...lmfao

 

I agree that 19K posts doesn't means anyone has been here forever, u can just look at everybody's join date for that.... now silence n wait for dyno, pleez tank juu!

 

Too much hype in here. Where are the results at?

 

I keep glancing back hoping there will be... I ay mods puta date on said dyno or lock n banned IJS
