X2. I gained a ton from just HFC and UPREV tune only.

From C&D, Feb '09's road test of the 370z.

"... the car is only 33 pounds heavier than the 350Z we tested in June of '07."

Heavier, yes, but for all street intents and purposes, they might as well be equal.

As for torque. The torque in the 370Z's HR is 2 greater than that in the HR 350Z. So again, no real significant difference there, either.

^^ Every test I have seen showed the TQ in the 220s for the 370z while the TQ for the HR 350Z is in the 230s. The same dyno tests.

Fact is the 370z makes only 10 more rwhp than the 350z HR.

Anything else you want to actually contribute to the thread?

Just wait a few years and I'm sure the VQ37VHR will get a bump in power just like the VQ35DE did when Nissan made the HR version. Whether it be by FI or other means, I'm speculating it's gonna happen to keep enthusiasts from ripping each other's throats out arguing over why the Z33 with the HR engine is better than the Z34, and vice versa.

That seems inaccurate...I've seen two different 370Zs run about 280whp stock, and that is only with 12% SAE correction. I don't know why those ran so low. And the increase seems a little off too.

All dynos are different. All cars are different.

Thought I add a little to the discussion.

As far as the quote goes, not necessarily an increase would seem off. The 370z is still not direct injected in terms of fuel, I think. Correct me if am wrong.

When they do this, the car's engine may see a bump in compression ratio along with it.

I think it is also worth mentioning that the new Z has variable valve timing on intake valves and variable lift, similar to VTEC and VVTL-i systems on 2ZZ-GE engines. That alone makes it a whole new animal in my view. Maybe that is why we are seeing better modding responses.

Hey guys, this is exciting news!

Based on the dyno information doing a simple proportional equation,

Highflow cats and exhaust yields 381 at the crank! Holy ****!


If 254 291 x=381
333 x

That's not knowable because we don't have a baseline for the car when it was stock. SOME cars dyno 254. Although, it is probably still likely to have close to that.

This is very impressive for simple mods.

Wow, that's some nice power gains from breathing mods. A lot bigger than the number I always thought breathing mods usually reward.

I can only imagine what that near 300 whp would feel like...
trying hard to stay satisfied with my VQ35DE and running like hell from getting bitten by the power bug...eek

Sharif uses a Dyno Dynamics dyno uncorrected that has been proven on multiple cars to read at least 10% lower than STD Dynojet readings. Sometimes more than that, depending on atmospheric conditions since Sharif does not employ any corrections, at all.

That 290 whp is going to be closer to 320 to the wheels on a dynojet. Impressive. I would like to see a 1/4 mile trap speed for that car.

Default 37 rhp increase on stock tune?

Sharif:

The blue picked up approx. 37 rwhp on a stock tune with a Stillen cat-back exhaust & Berk hi-flow cats?

What did the white 370Z pick up? Any mods on the white one?

Any Twin turbo kit's installed yet on a 370Z?

a VQ35DE car is quite a bit lighter than the 370z. Just to clarify that point too.
