Schmelly's VQ35 Swap Dyno
Schmelly's VQ35 Swap Dyno
Finally got a chance to dyno the swap today. I decided to spring the extra $10 for an AFR reading since my EU is disconnected. Grand total: $30 for two pulls.
Same shop/dyno I used for my previous pulls with the 3.0.
Minor changes that might affect readings:
~New tires 245/50R16.
~Finally had the car aligned after the swap.
Current setup:
+02 VQ35 w/3.0 timing, DE-K Injectors & FPR, return fuel setup
+Stock 5th gen intake w/ bomz cone filter
+PFTB
+NWP BOP
+NWP 5pc spacers
+Altima headers w/ 3" y pipe back
VQ30 Spark Plugs
Fuel and timing are bone stock, no adjustments made.
236.96whp/221.51wtq

I plan to go back and rent some dyno time to test a bunch of parts. SSIM, MAF, Intake, TB and maybe the stock VIAS depending how well the tune helps my low end because the power sucks under 3700rpm.
Quick and dirty I want the car running intake. I chopped off the MAF flanges a while back so I couldn't use the 5th gen airbox as well.
