I'm happy with my results, but not happy with the lunch box-sized fans they used. Just before me, there was an AE with Stillen(?) intake and y pipe that put out 171 whp.

hi kev
i would liked to have met you in person and check out your ride. didn't know you'd be there.
again, i'm new to this mod thing so... is 181 at the wheels pretty good/disappointing/expected???

 

WEAKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good to see that you guys got back okay... well... hm... uhm... eh...

oh yea, weakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I was the one with all the red hoses... Tantrums... slammed... the only 2k with an antenna.

Blah!!!!! Shut up PMS boy. Thanks, but shut up and go back to your own forum or else I won't do your hoses.

 

right.
should have known about the red snakes.

 

So this means your making about 205 HP at the crank. I thought the 4th gens made 222 stock? I know a auto looses about 10 HP but your mods should have more then made up for that, hmm? Strange.

 

Hmm. Not bad for an automatic!

(for reference, a 2k 5-spd makes 180~190fwhp).
(for reference, a 2k Acura 3.2TL automatic makes 160~170fwhp. My dad's 2000 3.2TL here: http://www.brian1.net/saturn/stocktldyno_2a.jpg )

From other dyno #'s I've seen 170fwhp *stock* is as expected for a 2k auto. So 180fwhp is a little low IMHO, but not too bad. Was your car hot, or had it been sitting in the parking lot cooling off for a while?

Rims and brakes would affect it too...

Not really.

He's probably making 222hp at the crank.

Automatics lose considerably more power than manuals do. A high-HP SR20DE, automatic vs. manual may make up to 50fwhp less with the same mods. If my dad's 3.2TL's power output is anything like the Maxima (225hp vs. 222hp), then 167fwhp from 222 (or 225) crank HP for a baseline is probably about right.

So, I'd say that while Kevin's car is about 5hp lower than I'd like, it does look about on the money for power... because the 5hp lower is something I can't verify as being "low" on power yet.

 

Look at other auto 2k dyno graphs... and you'll see that we range from about 160-170 (stock).

 

Emax,

4th gen's put out 190 and 2k's put out 222. You should know that, you had a 4th gen!!! cmon! anyways, there isnt a set number of HP auto's lose. Its around 20-25% drivetrai loss and 5speed is around the 10-15% range. dependant on how efficent each car is but thats about average.

 

I always thought auto's lost about 10-15 HP when compared to 5 spd's? From the dynos I have seen on 4th gen's this seems to be true. I remember some guy here with a stock 5spd 5th gen dyno'd at 200.? HP. Well I have to say it Auto's suck for performance, sorry.

 

The person with 200 hp had a very strong car out the box. The average dyno for 2k 5 speeds is about 190. Yes, autos suck, but jOO fear them also.

 

Hey, I saw your car there...
I must say that it looked pretty sweet.

 

Thank you! Which car was yours?

 

I only stopped by for a few mins.
Didn't have any performance mods to show anyways.

 

Now my only problem is that before I had the y-pipe I only had a Stillen intake and muffler and got the same HP you got! I need to dyno my car to see if my power bees will pump out 10 HP!!

 

not bad kev.....not bad at all

FEAR AUTOMAGICS

\

 

Nice dyno Kev!

I love on the 5g how theirs that little dip at 5k when the intake runners switch over and then the HP just keeps going up. I sure hope I can make the manifold fit on my 4g cause 5k is where the 4g hp falls off.

 

was your name bruce or kevin? I tought it was bruce

 

I meant 5th gen but accidently wrote 4th gen. mmmkay?

 

You got a mighty strong car!

Forgot to mention... I still have my Service Engine Light on (if that makes a difference), and Stillen didn't turn off the radio or AC (retards).


We have very similar screen names.

 

Hey Kev, do you have the raw data printed out from your runs? If not, how about the ".djr" file? I'd really like to view our dyno runs on the same graph. If you don't have either, you could call up Stillen and ask them to send you the results in djr format and download the viewer from DynoJets' site and play with them yourself.

 

I ran 167 HP with my former JTW popcharger. 181 is very good.

 

MaxVader... you are Federal spec, right? and Kevin is Cali spec.

 

it's all the hoses~~~

 

Wow! I never knew an automatic Maxima could give out so much power. I didn't realize this family sedan was so amazing. I'm falling in love with a Nissan Maxima.

 

was that directed to me or to Y2KEVSE?

 

No chance in getting that file from Stillen because they're Stillen. I have a larger version if you're interested.


Thanks Paul!


You need hoses too, Hoon. It might give you back your missing hp's.

 

Haha, Nice Kev but i still dont fear automagics. jOO are going to have to do more than that to scare me.
\

 

So... what do YOU put out?

/

 

Never dynoed but i am going to the track this thursday. soooo we'll see what happens.
\


Fear the stick.

 

OoOo.. i wanna dyno my very heavy car too. i bet i put out a lil more than a geo metro TYPE-R. good job kev, i like the numbers. but what was it when it was stock?

 

OK beater boy!

 

Go dyno at Mustang Ranch or Skunk2.

 

jOO fear me.

 

jOO fear automagics!

 

jOO already know what i think of automagics.
automagics

p.s. YJ is talking crap about jOO on clubmaxima. just thought i would let jOO know.

 

jOO got work tomorrow?

 

jOO better not hang around here too long. Or else......

 

Yup, but I have to leave earlier to do my oil change.
