It's corrected to read similar but I'll do a jet run next Sunday at the dyno day. Thinking between using 91 or 100 octane this time?

OP....vids also good job for going this far...

some exterior videos of the car normally taking off. Also exterior 35 or 75 mph fly-bys would be cool...

Lets do some easy math.

On an 5AT he is getting 318whp. A 6MT with same exact Mods and dyno should make roughly 330whp. (Factoring in a 4% jump in whp)

A Stock 6MT makes about 265whp.

That comes out to an increase of 65whp for the mods: Headers, Exhaust, Test Pipes, Intakes, Pulley, Reflash & Tune.

The added 65whp would make this a drastically different car to drive compared to stock.

thanks man, you rock

i say use regular pump gas so everyone can see what you make on a dyno jet in standard trim. besides, wouldn't you need a retune to take advantage of the 100 octane...

...i'm just being selfish and trying to get you to do stuff for my good

if you also do "only" 50WHP because you get... the wrong combo between headers/test pipes or HFC/exhaust and tune...
would still be almost 20% more power to the wheel compared to a stock car...
it's pretty much the same jump between a stock vq35de to a HR

50WHP more put the Z in the M3 E92 weight to power ratio.. or damn close.
with 10.6lbs*rwhp for the Z and 10.2lbs*rwhp for the M3
the stock Z is about 12.6lbs*rwhp
shave 150lbs from the Z and you'll go to 10.15lbs*rwhp

and 150lbs isn't a too challenging target... put also a nice flywheel and you'll have a DAMN NICE car...

for reference a cayman S is about 11.2lbs*rwhp (stock of course)

I guess that's enough bench racing for today

^what weight r u using for a stock Z?

i love this thread... I have been glued to it since it opened. Lots of great info guys!!! I cannot wait to start modding my Z.First up, Stillen headers!

NuVon

Thanks A.H. Are u not worrying about the heat inside the engine bay because the stainless 304 is not ceramic coated? I find my engine bay running pretty hot, so I am thinking a vented hood right now.

WEll not necessarly. Tadashi says that i will proabbly be able to take advantage of 100 with the current reflash i have, but not as much as if i was completly tuned to 100. I guess i will just use 91 on this run on the dynojet. Dyno sheets up Sunday afternoon.

And no problem. It's a pleasure to give this info out. I rememebr when i wanted to know so much abut the HR but there wasn't much info out so i decided to do as much as i could to help the HR community.

The 304 version is suppose to be more heat resistant than the 409 ceramic version. At least thats what I was told at Stillen.

First off, nice numbers.

Second, the higher octane isn't a power adder... so unless you bump up your timing or you're using the higher octane for safety with spray or a FI power adder and higher boost (which from your post you're not), then you really aren't helping anything but your engine to not detonate.. I guess it's a little added insurance but just giving you the heads up so you can maybe save some money and not expect a real gain on the dyno.

3350.. the weight of a nismo (I'm thinking about mine)
3700 for the M3 and 2960 for the cayman...

so far, im convinced to do every single modification on here for about $4000 as we calculated earlier.......... heres my quesiton, with these mods,
can we make this a everyday car?

MY everyday driving on average is about 60miles considering the car is in the garage in the crazy of weather of Chicago from December to February.

I don't see why not. The Fast Intentions Intimidator is not very loud even with test pipes and the headers do not add much noise. Very minimual drone when daily driving, along with 315+WHP on tap whenever you need it. NO lag from turbos, just straight up response from that beautiful Naturally Aspirated VQ35HR engine

PS: You can of course always do differnet combos then mine but if you do research and decide you want the Fast Intentions Intimidator or test pipes just let Tony @ Fast Intentions know Arsh helped make your decision. Also Fast Intentions will be hosting a a G35, 350z, G37 ONLY meet at there shop in Socal in October ish. My car will be the 350z he will have on display(due to the great performance numbers I acheived with his exhaust system) along with a g35 and g37. Nothing is finalized yet but there will be food, many cars, and a raffle. The prizes will most likely be a pair of HFC and/or a pair of Reasonated Test Pipes with a very fair prize for each raffle ticket. Announcements about this event will soon follow, but if anyone wants to come check out the car or ask questions in person that would be a very nice time to do it. Any questions about anything feel free to ask me in this thread or by PM.

About tuning with Technosquare. Lets say I buy all the mods for my car. Install them all at once. Then send my ECU to them. Would they only be able to do the reflash? Or knowing all my mods, would they be able to tune it without having the car there?

Maybe I missed it, but what about the CEL issue from test pipes? Have you addressed it, or do you just ignore the light?

sharaabi

got pictures?

Yes they can only reflash it to the best of their ability but tunign can only be done on thier dyno with the refalsh on your car. The word tuning requires many trails. He will change timeing and such and then run your car on the dyno to see if the power increased or not and work his way up to your final WHP number. First time i got the reflash i got 12 from the reflahs and 5whp from the tune. This time around with more mods Tadashi got closer with the reflash and i got 17whp from teh reflash and only like 2.7whp with the tune.



BTW the CEL I just ignore for now as the Reflash does not address the CEL. Tony @ Fast INtentiosn has told me he has found a way to cure teh CEL for sure on the 07's and has the parts on order. That's how i'll get mine out but to be honest it really doens't bother me.

I get annoyed by CEL's

I made up my mind. I am going to purchase the headers on Monday. In the near future i will get a supercharger. Hope anyone will release one soon
