i've got a stock 98' Maxima SE. What horsepower are these cars?

 

To the wheels or the crank?

 

Automagic or 5spd?

 

It's an automatic. What does Nissan spec the horespower of this car at?

I am looking at installing a Tornado Air Management System, K&N air filter, anf Flowmaster Exhaust. If my Maxima is 190hp stock what might it me after the installation?

 

probably 190

 

 

You probably have about 155hp at the wheels, 190hp at the crank.

 

 

192, maybe. The flowmaster may actually make him about that much.

 

you forgot the tornado air system ! thats like a extra .000393!!

 

Sorry, make that 192.000393 then. I apologize for being off.

 

Please, I beg you, do not waste your money on a tornado "air management system"!

They are totally useless.

 

 

its ok, i forgive you

 

that's minus .000393 right?

 

what's the difference? what do u mean by wheel and crank? Dam i hate u all! You make me feel so dam dumb

 

I dynoed my 97 5spd and got 165hp, 183ft/lb. All I have is a generic cone filter.

At the wheel= HP measured where the wheel meets the ground
At the crank= HP measured at the crank shaft
The reason the power output at the crank is greater than at the wheel is because there is a loss of power in the drive train.

Do you know what a crank shaft is?

 

thats what we do here

 

flowmaster i saw them on a 'stang the other day
