This is on and off topic depending how you look at it so here goes.

In this months super street lerks a TWIN TURBO 350Z I know most people have wanted to see it so there it is check it out, it didn't do much all of 334 hp...With about 5.6psi...So you say thats nice but wtf does that have to do with a maxima...WELL They are running RC FUEL INJECTORS and it made me think.

RC engineering will custom make or reblueprint fuel injectors for any car...So for those that have wanted them for the 5th gen here you go.

Also theres a TWIN SUPERCHARGED Lexus SC430 in it check it out.


ANd lastly on and off topic in this months Turbo they prove that you may not have the power you think even if you do dyno...This really isn't new news but now it's in print for all to see...They tested a stock 350z and got: 242 hp, 257hp, 235hp, 243hp, 265hp, and 228hp ALL ON THE SAME DAY. Just a bit of info I thought I'd share that I felt all was interesting to keep in mind.

Please I know it's on and off topic but I feel its general knowledge everyone should see. Thanks.

 

Lucky for me, my car was consistent : 260-268fwhp

Who knows what will happen next time... I wonder what could cause a car to dyno so erratically?

ECU changes between runs?

 

Thats just it, it's BONE STOCK...And was not touched at all and all done in around 4 hours I think. The difference is in herit in the dyno it's self and possibley not being in that "perfact spot" top dead center on the dyno rollers. It's proof positive you need to do everything on one dyno, and when your happy, you can check it out on others and then brag on the high number

 

yeah but what were the various conditions under each run??

 

if a car dynos say 230hp all the time

then he dynos once at 260hp. then they start braggin how he got 260 blah blah. so....awww forget it...dunno how to explain. bye

 

Inconsistent... out of the norm... which means it doesn't count because it was probably a fluke.

 

peak dyno numbers only tell you so much... area under the curve 0wnz j0o

 

It was on the same day within a few hours of each other, in a closed dyno room I don't think they varied enough to cause a 30 hp range. The article proves the point that dyno numbers only show so much. And you have remember its only part of the article, it's worth reading the whole thing.
