Dyno Test--2005 Frontier 4.0

Reverendbiker · Feb 18th, 2005, 03:29 PM

I've just completed my baseline dyno tests and am pleasantly surprised at the results. Using Nissan's claims of 265 crank horsepower, I expected to see 210-215 rear wheel HP after driveline losses (I have an automatic trans). Dyno pulls averaged 225.5 RWHP and 230.10 torque--both on 87 octane gas! Looks like Nissan was conservative or driveline losses are less than usual; either way I'm happy! To see the info and pics of the charts, see my site here:

Nice numbers! How many miles are on your truck?

1000 miles on the truck--I wanted to get it broken in before running on the dyno. I also shut down the tests well before redline; HP and torque peaks are reached well before that point anyway, so no sense in stressing the engine any more.

I would dyno again around 10k. These motors dont seem fully broken in until at least 5k imo.
