07 350Z and 08 G37 same dyno same day
i was "driving" both of the cars on the dyno. the z is mine and the g is a friend's. on the g, the first run was in 4th gear and the second 2 were in 5th. yes, the g hits 160 on the dyno at 7500 rpm in 5th
the z dyno, the first run was in 4th and the second in 5th
what has me wondering is why did the z put down more torque when the g has more displacement and the VVEL which is supposed to optimize torque or something like that
i do love how the g's hp doesnt start falling off the way the z's does at about 6750
G37
350Z

so .2 liters + vvel = few more hp? Hm. How many miles on each car? Nice numbers for your car though. These numbers are STD corrected? Doesn't say. Only says smoothing. Nice numbers on your car though.. not so much your friends.

G37 @ 279whp, assuming 12-17% drivetrain loss, puts crank hp between 317-336. If Nissan/Infiniti's numbers are true @ 330hp, then it should be 15.5% drivetrain loss.
350Z @ 272whp, assuming 12-17% drivetrain loss, puts crank hp between 309-328. If Nissans 306hp is true, then the Z has 11.2%.
Granted its 2 dynos, of 2 different cars, doesn't seem like drivetrain efficiency would vary that much. Maybe the Z is underrated?

Well that has to do with the new SAE rating. The VQ35HR IIRC, is rated around 313-315ps. The VQ37VHR would be rated around 337-345ish. If you convert the 2006s hp figure to the new SAE rating system, it would be like 293ish. What I'm getting at is, if the G37 makes 330 SAE HP, does the Z make 306 SAE HP, or more?

That's a rough number, but it's close. So for .4 seconds the 07 would have to have 28 more HP than the 06 (roughly). So the 07 has to be underrated. It may not quite have 28 more HP, but it definitely has at least 20 more, it has to unless there's a huge difference somewhere else between the cars, like gearing.

looks like 1 of the 2 scenarios
Z is underrated
G is overrated.
I agree the G has a slightly better power band up top without falling off, but the numbers are too close to see the worth of the 3.7l engine.
Unless this guy has a wacked motor or not fully broken in and rings seated or something?

Why bother? Every dyno is gonna read different. You can dyno those 2 same cars at another dyno and have them put out 300+rwhp each. Does that mean all Z's/G's make that much?
A dyno is just a tool to help tuners. Lets not get too caught up in it. My car dyno'd 290/254. If someone asked me how much power I put out, I just shrug and say "im not sure but its rated at 306hp"
