    New Dyno Numbers

    in Nissan L6 Forum

    Posted

    You keep saying the same thing Tony, as if I'm comparing what Jeff did to something built by a half-witted idiot in their garage, but that's exactly what I'm NOT doing. His motor makes A LOT more than a Sunbelt EP engine (using hp specs per Coffey), and makes hell of a lot more hp/liter than the motor that was built for the Bob Sharp car. It makes more than Rebello's engines (even at his suspiciously high bhp numbers). My point is that there is an explanation for it, and I'm not chalking up a gigantic hp increase to "polishing this and tweaking that". All of my examples I've listed use carbs. It could be that the carbs are a choke point for the intake. I'm pretty convinced that there needs to be a fundamental difference in order to get a hp bump of that magnitude. The only thing that it could be seems to be the carbs. That's why I said I'd like to see what he can do in an EP legal build. If the numbers remain that high and if he can transfer his advantage from engine to engine (not much market for Z engines anymore), I think he'd get a lot of business building race engines.

     

    I would assume the difference in whp numbers is going to boil down to what dyno its on. all dynos read differently, mustang dyno's, dynojet dynos and dynodynamic dynos will post similiar but never spot on numbers as ive seen living in my 4 cyclinder world. also, dynos from different states seem to vary alot also, ie: north east dynos to down south florida dynos.

     

    My second guess would be the difference in carburated l's to his fuel injected l. i skimmed the thread but is this car running a stock 280z ecu or a aftermarket standalone. i would wager that being the huge factor in him making more whp then most.

     

    but it boils down mph in the 1320.

     

    beatiful zed by the way !

    This winter sucked. Had one big storm roll in mid December and dump about 12 inches. Decided to buy a snow blower so we don't have to get a plow to dig us out. Since then we've had nothing but this crap at the worst.

     

     

     

    Never more than an inch of accumulation. Guess the blower is more of an insurance policy that it will never snow again...

     

    i like it, got some more pics ??

    parts can be had very easily. you cant just walk into a nappa and get a water pump. but you can get one sent to you with in a few days, or over night ship it if you wanna spend the cash for shipping.

     

    ive had jdm parts over night shipped from cali to new york. if you know the right people to get parts from its not difficult to obtain them.

    Bugatti: Damn nice exhaust plumbing. Way to go.

     

    yeah it looks good.

     

    but from a performance stand point all the sharp turns and long runs to the turbo is only going to slow the exhaust down.

     

    it would be much more efficient power wise to have a small smooth exqual lenght mani. it would help in spool up, throttle response and overall power.

    put a s20det in. keep it in the family. sr20's can do 500whp on the stock block no problem. thats plenty of power and if you can keep your foot out of it for the majority of driving you can get well above 20mpg.

     

    i own sr20det in a nx and i must say when it comes to four cyclinders it shines above alot of newer inline 4's.
