NEW Dyno results are in....

2theextreme · 08-07-2009, 05:56 PM

So, here are the three dyno results I've had so far with my 370Z. The first one is totally stock, the second has Berk HFC's & Stillen Dual Exhaust and Intake, and finally the last one is from today which has everything installed in my signature:

I realize the second one looks weird but when they gave me the print out I didn't notice they had used white for the graph and a white graph on white paper = no graph.

Thanks Tony. You happy with the results?

shabarivas · 08-07-2009, 06:01 PM

the 11k price tag includes other non performance related things... Im sure the boltons + tune costs much less

Good point. What is the cost of the performance parts (including install) Tony?

Maybe someone can clear this up but it seems that when people dynoed individualy these mods that there were gains of 15+hp. However from what I've been seeing from people like you who have all these mods put on and then dynoed it seems the total hp gain from intake, exhuast, and HFC is around 25. I know ricer math doesn't apply but I would have thought with all the good gains we've seen from these mods individually that there would be more than a ~25hp gain total.

To the OP, nice numbers and nice Z.

The old rule we sometimes hear that "the whole is equal to the sum of the individual parts" does NOT hold for mods. With modding the whole usually does not equal the sum of the individual mods. It all depends on how well the design of each manufacturer's part plays in combo with another manufacturer's part design. I have had times when one CAI and exhaust combo made 27 HP and then I switched out just the axle-back and actually lost 8 HP but gained about 6 ft-lbs in TQ. Some mod combos work well with each other and some don't so that is why one cannot rely on any "sum of the parts" rule.

For me I just wait and read the results of other people who spend their cash looking for "power" nirvanna. Once I read about a certain combo that shows great gains for someone that is the one I usually go for. But I also understand that putting this particular combo on my car isn't a guarantee that on my car it will show the same results as the person I read about. It just means that the odds are in my favor that the results will be spot-on or near spot-on.

There is always a "crap-shoot" factor I stay aware of when doing a particular combination of mods so I don't get too disappointed if the results are less than proven by someone else.

307 - 273 = 34

I wasn't referring to the Headers and pulley that he added, that's why I only mentioned intake, exhaust, and HFC. Also I was using a rough estimate based off what others have gained from these three mods.

Oh, Gotcha ya. Ricer math would say about 30 to 35 on those parts so a real world 25 seems about right to me.

Well...got her dyno'ed again today. This time on a DynoDynamics machine. I expected it to be low so I was prepared for it. They dyno'ed it in 4th gear where I believe Altered used 5th gear. I asked about that and I was told the results would have probably been about +5 whp if it had been done in 5th gear.

Anywho.....heres the results along with my last DynoJet result:

DynoDynamics performed 22 August:

My last DynoJet result performed 7 August:

nogoodname · 08-07-2009, 06:07 PM

it was probably 5k for the bolt-ons with labour

kdoske · 08-07-2009, 06:12 PM

It definitely seems like if you want to make some more power for only a few more grand you might as well just go with a turbo or supercharger.

I'm favorable of the supercharger because I think this car is missing so lower RPM torque. I for one am happy with the power it has and have no intention of modifying the engine.
