Does anyone have a 2004 Maxima dyno? Plenty of 5th gen VQ35DE's but so far no 6th gen VQ35DE dynos.

 

I had the same quesiton, you've probably already found this, but here it is again jsut in case . .. http://www.forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=390731

 

i would think similiar to the 350z

 

why would you think that? 350Z puts out 287 hp, as opposed to the 04 max of 265, 350z is RWD, maxima is FWD. NmexMAX, i want your 02...lets trade straight up for my 97 se black on black. please?

 

Only if it's 5sdp ...

 

haha, looks like im SOL. If it was 5 spd, my sig wouldnt say 15.2 for my 1/4 mile time...

 

Yup,, that's what I figured from your time, still not a bad time. I can't find a 5spd in my area for ****, only 300+ miles away, but think it might be worth a drive, or maybe a sway ... eitehr way, it's a summer project to make my little 95 with 2 leather boots in the console.

Oh yea, BTW it's an 03, tehy didn't have that color in 02

 

its a decent time, im trying to hit 15.0, dare i say 14.9 with my set up before i move onto the 00vi, ecu, and stage 2+ vb from maximum tuning. 5 spd swap is too much money, and downtime, otherwise i'd be all over it. I also couldnt find a 5 spd withing 400 miles of me either, so dont feel bad. Sorry about the mix up on the year, either way, its still hot. I love how that color looks.

 

Guaranteed you'll be in the 14's with those mods you mentioned. Especially the VI/ECU combo.

 

nmexmax..how close are you to the colorado border?

 

About an hour and a half ... Say 30 mins North of Santa fe, 45 mins south of Taos, about 2 hours away from Alamosa.

 

yeah, i'd better be in the 14s with those mods listed, but im trying to hit 14.999 without them. Summertime, those mods will come. I want to get as low as possible first with the basic I/Y/E set up everyone on the org has. If you dont want your JWT Ecu anymore, let me know

 

I can sell yo my stock one so when you're ready you can send it in w/ minimal down time.

 

heres one i ran across

So we aren't doing the swap ecko? :frown:

 

broaner, i forgot to call you back man. im going to be moving out soon, and i wont have money for the swap. ill call you back later tonight, ive been working all weekend. sorry man

 

Come down and live with me. Rent is $560/month. We'll split...

 

Lol, I wish I had an appartment for 280 a month

 

Yeah no **** ... Hmmmm does it include cable or satellite?

 

do you cook and clean too?

 

LOL. It looks like its not happening. I don't clean, I don't suck ****, and it could include cable if you paid for it. And its not an apartment. More of a warehouse with a bathroom and heater.

 

You can check out my dyno at www.cardomain.com/id/ramberg page 1.

 

Here it is, 310 at the crank.

 

I had a quick question. Is the 261 all motor, or are you slipping her some juice? Can you give a list of your mods? The reason why I asked is I’m hoping to put down 240~245 to the wheels.

 

No problem Buddy. No juice was used. Greddy SP-2 Cat-Back System, Injen CAI, Racing Pulley. I just installed a CE Y-Pipe and will have the car redynoed when I get back from Florida. Later Warren

 

That dyno is wack IMO. No way you are putting down those numbers, but it is on a mustang dyno.

 

I was thinking the same thing. He put down about 25 more WHP than a stock 350Z with only an intake and catback basically, which we all know don't really do much. And he's an auto to boot. Inflated #'s...

 

WTF You think they frudged the numbers on the dyno? I tell you what, I am a few miles from your home town till Sat. If you want to take me to a dyno shop in your area PM me. If the numbers are right you pay for it. If not I will take you to dinner.

 

Are you saying that the mustang dyno gives out wrong readings. Most Nissans in the area go to this shop to get their dynos. So I guess that we all have bogus numbers. I just installed a CE y-pipe and will redyno when I get back to NY. Later

 

and what does that have to do with hp. im a auto and pushing well over 260hp to the wheels so whats your point. ramberg got a legit dyno whether the numbers are 100% accurate isnt the point. its a baseline for 2004 and he's one of the few with a dyno, give the man a chance to dyno a few more times then you can judge from a avg.

 

Mustang dynos read high. This is a known fact. I'm not knocking you or the car, i'm knocking the dyno machine.

 

A manual with your same mods would be putting out over 300 WHP. What's YOUR point? Autos suck more power by virtue of the speed difference between the engine/torque converter and the tranny itself. Cars that have a lock-up torque converter feature in all gears don't have this problem. Maxima autos aren't one of them.

His dyno indicates nearly 320 HP to the crank with virtually NO real power mods. You cannot blame me for my skepticism.

Somebody should run a Cartest with his WHP numbers and compare them to real-world auto 1/4 mile runs with his mods to compare.

 

the point is dont throw out blatant info becasue of your personal preference.
i have a custom level ten tranny so thats the point. you cannot compare auto vs manual becasue every car is different in its own way becasue of whats done to them. ive raced five speeds with the same mods and more and still won (meccanoble) so there goes your theory.

 

Maybe you were quicker because your auto shifts faster than a manual could. Ever thought of that? We're not talking about which tranny would produce a quicker car. We're talking about which tranny puts out more WHP per mod (this is the DYNO forum). Big difference. Not only that, using your car as an example doesn't make much sense. Your tranny isn't stock.

If he had a 6-speed it would be much more believable. But again, i believe that mustang dynos read high.

 

My club is going to English Town, NJ on the 25th of this momth. I will run the 1/4 mile and will get back to you with the results. Are you going to the meet in Orlando Sat? Later Warren

 

nismo im messing with you. but the point is the dyno doesnt pick out what is making the hp so 2 same cars can have two different readings. until other 2004 dyno what is real and what is not. but ramberg got a dyno and this is what it said and yes mustang dynos arent the best but close.

 

Thanks for the help. I am not a pro at these things,I go by what the slips say. I do not know anywhere in my area that has a different dyno machine then the mustang. I f I find a different one in my travels, I will get a dyno. Like I said in one of the replys I installed a CE y-pipe and will have the redynoed with the mustang dyno. Later Warren

 

My friend chernmax who lives in MD. has the same setup as me. I will call him up to see if he can get his ride dynoed on a different machine to see what the difference is. Later Warren

 

Get it on a dynojet and it will clear things up ... I also realize you're not here to impress anyone, and if you get the dyno to see teh difference between the y-pipe w &w/o on a mustang that's cool too, or in my words to everyone, would be --> it better be cool, but on here we are used to dynojets, so it gives a better baseline for other FWD 3.5L's

 

You are right, I am not here to impress anyone. Someone asked who had their '04 Max dynoed and I replyed. I am in Plantation until Sat. morning, do you know some where around here where they have a dynojet?
