Scanned image of my dyno plot. It's crazy, look!

I finaly mastered the art of working a scanner tonight, pretty damn easy actually . Well heres the scan of my dyno plot. Now take a look at how my powerband just keeps on going! Every other dyno of the 3.5 VQ I have seen drops like a stone right before 6K rpm. Also take a look at how smooth my lines are compared to others. Take a look at Steves dyno here: http://www.frankencar.com/product_i/...o_after_lg.jpg , and compare it to mine. My car is smooth the hole way up and keeps on going. Tell me what you guy's think!




Sorry the pic is a little small, it's the best I could do.

Oh yeah

The new 3.5 is a beast, someone mentioned that the Z car will have 300 ft.lbs of torque. I am very jealous.

The max has about 270-280 TQ stock so it's not that much more

I'm really looking forward to getting some headers too. Let's all keep our eyes peeled. You have mad amounts of power, my goal is to get my auto where yours is right now but it's not likely I'll be able to get such great results. How much do you think headers'll run if Stillen comes out with'em?

Is the torque curve as flat and as usable than this?

Holy ****... That *IS* pretty flat Makes me feel a lot better. What are the numbers b4 3k rpm? Under normal driving condition, my car rarely go above 3,000 rpm. That's usually my shift point.

The headers will also include a Y-Pipe.

$800ish probably.


N1sMO, below 3K a superchareged auto 2000 has a LOT less TQ. The SC does not kick in until atleast 3000 RPM. If you go with a real small pulley like Kev the power may start to kick in at around 2.5K RPMS.

One manifold has the cat connected(one peice), the other manifold bolts onto a pre-cat which is part of the Y-Pipe. From there, there is the main cat, then the B-Pipe which has a resonator in it and then that goes into the muffler.

If you don't drive hard under 3K, then boost will not kick in.

2.5K? How about a little under 2K.

Don't know what the torque is because it'll downshift when you mash the pedal in 3rd at 2K.

What he figured was that you use the same driverain loss % as you did for the hp #'s, so therefore if he had 20 % drivetrain loss, he got 270 ft/lbs at the crank.............got it?

230 FWTQ is a hell of a lot more then 246 TQ at the crank . Nissan underated the TQ on these engines, get it?
