Just a question... A 6-speed, base, 2006 Nissan 350Z... How much does it put down?

 

..

 

I'll venture a guess of 235WHP.

 

I cant wait till i get mine a couple of months from now.

 

Use search feature, engine-drivetrain etc forum

 

i have to save up cuz i want it with a nismo body kit out of the dealership.

 

I've been reading a lot of stock dynos. Disappointed to see the results. 235 WHP on car that is claimed to have 300 BHP doesn't work.

235 * 1.15 (15% drivetrain loss) = 270 WHP

Nissan appears to overrate their motors. My 02 Mustang GT dyno'd at 232 RWHP stock (Ford only rates the GT motor at 260 HP) and my 03 Mach 1 dyno'd at 289 RWHP stock (rated at 305 from the factory).

I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death before though..

 

youre right about the dissapointing #s, but your math is off. for a 15% drivetrain LOSS, youd do

300 * .85 = 255.

your math is adding 15% to 235, which isnt the same.

 

and if you have the 287 engine, youd have

287 * .85 = 244

 

You're right. But nearly the same results. Most Z's I've seen dyno go from 225-240. Anyone ever dyno at 250-255 stock?

 

Yep good catch on the math error. His math was adding 15% OF 235, not subtracting 15% OF 287/300 hp.

Anywhoo, to the original poster... a Base Z will put down anywhere from 225whp-245whp. I'm kind of disappointed at the large discrepancy as well, but those are the numbers. And as a note, the Base Z should be putting down similar numbers to other models, like the Grand Touring , etc.

 

I also heard the Sentra SE-R has an R33 Skyline engine? True? I thought they were weak? I seriously doubt there's a Skyline engine in there...

 

^^ the hell?? sentra se-r's only come with 2.5L I4's. skylines are 2.6 I6 twin turbo... two different engines.

 

Its JDM Tityeeee YO

 

 

With respect who cares about your Mustang.

 

They come with two skyline engines.

 

 

Does anyone know what to expect on the other type of dyno, I think it is the AWD DynoComp? They give a lower output I believe..

 

We can speculate all day and not get anywhere. Here are the only facts:

1. Each Z seems to yield different dyno results. You can take 2 identical MY/trim/mileage Z's and run them back-to-back on the same dyno. The results won't be identical.

2. Different dynos yield different results. Combine that with #1 and there's not point guessing.
