DYNO - NISMO CBE and K&N Dropins

Sh0velMan · 02-22-2012, 05:31 AM

Took the Z over to be dynoed on Saturday, see the chart below.

Seems to me like the NISMO OEM CBE is pretty badass, even if it isn't very loud..

Also, the K&N Dropins made quite the difference..

Oh yeah, we somehow lost the chart for the first pull we made that went to 7300rpm before the drop ins.. We know it was 293 @ 7141rpm though (took photo of the result screen)

Very nice gains with budget mods -- congrats!

I'm all about bang for the buck

Yep yep, can't complain!

Some serious mods coming very soon though, watch out for new dyno charts showing the big numbers

I'm still stressing over those filtration tests that show K&N to "not filter very well".

Then on the flip side, you have Ford putting a similar intake OEM on the GT500, and then warrantying it for 5/60 with longer available.

Not sure :/

Do you mean the comparison test vs. various other filters on that Supra forum?

If so, it still performed 2nd best of the lot.

Dry mediums tend to filter marginally better, but they also tend to flow a bit more poorly when clean (although, they do flow better when caked with dirt...).

Anyway, you should be fine with either a dry synthetic or oiled cotton medium.

Thanks!

Are there any other filters that drop-in to the OEM air-boxes?

BigT · 02-22-2012, 11:24 AM

So 293 was with the exhaust only and 309 was with drop-ins? Just trying to gauge the increase in power.

Sh0velMan · 02-22-2012, 11:31 AM

Yep.

We did 3 pulls, put the filters in, did 3 more (with enough time between to keep the oil temp consistent).

BigT · 02-22-2012, 03:16 PM

So, you're saying that adding drop-ins gained another 16whp? If so, that is amazing!

Why are we even messing with aftermarket CAIs!?

Sh0velMan · 02-22-2012, 03:24 PM

That's what I'm saying.

Mind you I have the CBE as well, which is good for many HP's and enhances any intake mods you may add.
