Originally posted by Aquineas Hey guys, thanks for the timely update on the dyno #s. I don't suppose you have any pull with the Nissan factory to encourage them to build my car sooner do ya'?
Nah, I didn't think so.
It was a good question that we felt deserved some clarification on our part.
Ha, no sorry! At least I can say with certainty your wait will be worth it.
Originally posted by Aquineas I thought it was an awesome review guys; good work. I have ordered the headers and I have a couple of questions:
What kind of dyno is that? How do the numbers compare to a dynojet? Any chance we can see torque numbers?
How long was the install? Had the installer had any experience installing headers on a VQ before?
I'm assuming the version installed on the NPM project car is/was the street-legal one, correct?
Was the dyno taken before or after the resonator was added?
How big was the resonator?
The Dyno is a DynoPack. It run's pretty conservatively and we've done back to back tests vs. a dyno jet and the tests are within a couple of hp. Unfortunately the DynoPack people did not provide the software to calculate the torque. Since hp is a function of torque we could calculate it out but people are skeptical enough. We're working on getting the software for the torque readings.
We did not do the install, it was performed over at hotshot since our car was the mule for the development
Guess it depends on what you mean by street legal but ours does not have the high flow cat on it. If you get stopped and they know what to look for your busted. I say this and don't know anyone who's ever run into problems by bolting on headers and passing smog.
The dyno was taken after the resonator was installed.
The resonator is a 26" long Magnaflow resonator with a perforated core and a 2.5" inlet and outlet.
