FI vs. NA
#81
This great topic started with me saying I can beat anything with a 3.5L in it. Correction though, I can beat anything stock with just a 3.5L in it at 10psi. That's closer . LOL. Great, interesting info in here though. Keep it coming.

No, it's the first thing SC people do before they install. LOL, change that damn pulley size. 7psi feels too damn close to stock.

I cited Stephen Max strictly to show there isnt much gained before 6k going to a smaller pulley. I should hope he would make more than a NA Maxima considering everything he's done to get to that milestone
It doesn't take rocket science to figure out a 370whp SC'ed Maxima would run around a 260whp NA Maxima but like I said line up a 300whp SC'ed Maxima and they would be door to door or d@mn close at any speeds. Like I've said 4000 times that some of you can't grasp I've ran SR when I was making approx 320whp and didn't pull from him hardly at all, I'd say maybe a car at most running up to some high triple didget speeds. If some of you can't comprehend it Im sorry but it is what it is.

when then I apologize blu...I thougth you were using stephen max as a an example for this entire scenario...didn't realize you were referring to only the comparisons of pullies...in either case, sr is not the norm either which is what we need to keep in mind...in addition, if his powerband truly peaks that early on and keeps it flat all the way through...than I am thoroughly impressed (not being sarcastic)...
#93
well smart ***. you are only choosing whats best for you. this guy sr20den is 1 case in a million. i don't know of anybody else running stock cams and 260 whp besides velicos with the eu. but the point is that a regular 3.5 does 240 whp. so you can't base your assumptions on 1 car when the rest of cars are not like that. u want to chose any 300 whp sc 3.0 against a factory freak owned by sr20den.

on 350z's 300whp has been done NA...they have many more NA mods available that we haven't tried out yet...not to mention they start out with much more aggressive cams from the factory among other things such as more aggressive timing and AFR's
#98
nobody knows for sure what is the advantage from a z to others like maxima or altima for sure. everybody speculates but don't show proof.
the z's without the revup motor do the smae numbers as a regular maxima or altima with bolt ons. and by the way, i have yet to see an NA z passing the 300whp barrier with proof.

Nothing beats the pull of boost kicking in.

We've seen other VQ35 Maximas here with just intake, headers, and exhaust hit 240s N/A easily, so I don't see why you think that 260 is so unattainable, Virg. It just that no one else has really put in the time and work that SR has. And plus, Velicos did it on stock cams too, so that makes 2 of em (even though it seems that he dynoed at CPR, which throws those numbers in doubt).
#103
velico's car is always in florida and drove all the way to north carolina to install the eu and dyno. he got those numbers there when it was freaking cold as hell. the numbers were std and when he came back to florida the tune got screwed up so basically he got those numbers only 1 day lol.
My bad, I shouldn't have said factory freak but eventually nobody got those numbers before or after with those mods. and talk about powerband. only vq35 NA with that powerband with stock cams.

i dynoed at 245 whp with i/h/e/p and safc2 tuned. i believe 260 is attainable because there is proof with sr20den. But, It's only 1 car out of thousands of maximas and altimas.
What i'm trying to say is that 260 whp vq35 NA won't beat a supercharged 3.0 with 300+ whp. only 1 car has done that type of powerband that he describes and i bet it's going to be VERY VERY difficult to duplicate even by sr20den.

What are you talking about? 350Z's dyno in the 230's stock. An N/a FWD 3.5 won't see those numbers without bolt-ons.

I don't want to sound like an azz but all of the differences between the altima and z is guesswork. the only thing we know for sure is timing and intake manifold. even if we tune the altima with the best tuner ever and install bolt ons plus Z intake manifold it doesn't get the same numbers that the z get with bolts ons and tunning. why? i don't know yet.

this is rediculous...the Z's start at 230-240whp...and yes there has been a handful of guys with every bolt on imaginable that have hit the magic 300whp with cams...I don't know how to prove it to you, I have seen one of maybe 10 that dynoed right in front of me that hit that....you have to remember that they have many, many NA mods out right now...ones we have haven't even attempted to try out or have made for our cars...

but nobody has done it before?

But once again, i believe that's the difference maker when it comes to bridging the power gap since that's the only variable that's been left out so far.

the crawford plenum was actually dynoed a good deal lower than the rev up manifold with these new spacers they came out with....which are much cheaper, and hence a slap in the face to their super expensive manifold...

I guess you can't read that I've already ran SR20DEN and pulled about a car and a half up to 150ish making 322whp SC'ed at the time. Like I said I've done it so I know, Im not just making up stuff to please my opinion. I just don't understand how some of you can't comprehend what Im typing.

For those wondering SR20DEN's car dynoed 201whp stock and was only running low-mid 14's @ 95-96mph with a pop charger only. There is nothing abnormal about his car, it started out exactly the same as any other 5.5 gen. Now he has only made about 60 more whp than stock but with his power band and how the mods work together he is now trapping 108+ with stock cams. The nismo 262's will be going in soon and the car will be ready and running at Maxus if any of you SC'ed guys will be there and want to test my knowledge.
