Numbers!!!!

Hopefully its because things got complicated and not because he has to remove his LTH's.

Nothing was taken off the car, they just got busy today and were unable to make it.

God i hope thats a joke :icon14:

Hah nm..

Why do dynos always seem to be postponed?

it happens, been there several times.

Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt building amongst the masses lol @ Caravan

The car has been done since, almost the begining of the week. The car has had a few other things done besides performance. The car was not touched at all today, there are no issues and nothing wrong what so ever, and I would like to clear that up 100%. Because the car sat there all day does not mean there are issues with the car. They were super bussy and it could not get done today.

On anther note most likely we will see a dyno tomarrow. Hold on to yalls panties and stay tuned.

See..we're being nice. If this was a Stillen kit, there would be 3 pages of people saying the motor put a rod through the block bounced off the hood and killed the driver. ;)

You're forgetting the part where the rod burst a tire on a school bus that crashed killing all 50 elementary school kids on board. :p

Dude, I saw that video on YouTube! It was AWESOME!

Just got some news, should be 1PM tomorrow, depending on what is going on at my office tomorrow I will try to go myself to be there.

Damn dreamer took out a school bus

What...no, that is the Stillen kit. :stirthepot:

Dyno!!!!

seriously, WTF are the numbers!?!

I have some inside information hot off the dyno here is a printout...

It might not last long I Dreamer is trying to hide the numbers so take a screen shot because this will probably get deleted...

I heard that

Nice flat torque curve, I think he will be very happy :tup:

someone host it here on this website, I get a big red X

Fixed it for ya

nah, work is blocking it...oh well

Ok, got the phone call.

5.5PSI
371HP
343TQ

not bad numbers for only 5.5 psi...headers coming off now?

No, Not until they figure out exactly what is going on and why the psi is low.

Fawkkkk...

sounds similar to what happened with Shumby's car, so I think a good place to start woudl be to work with their results first and see if putting stock headers/cats back on brings the boost back up.

I'm not saying it's the RIGHT solution (those headers can't be causing it directly), but it would be a start.

thats one way the other (easier) way is to use a different pulley on the supercharger and see if they can get the boost numbers to pick up.

Also It would be nice to compare graphs of this run and a 370z with stock exhaust and this supercharger. Just to see whats going on

true, if they have another pulley readily available to test in the shop.

$108 per Horse, good deal......:tiphat:.

So I was off 30RWHP

I guess you need the new pulley as well?

I told you rednek01.....Welcome to the world of VQ motors! :tiphat:

The 350z, guys were lossing 1lb or 2 of boost when using high flow headers. So why would the story not be the same with the VQ37, it is.:tiphat:

Boost.... pah, just get a big American V8 and drive on.....

Dreamer - Get back to work, your boss is pissed at you for the amount of time you spend on the phone discussing LTH and Supercharger thingimijigs......

Adding headers increases your volumetric efficiency, which in turn lowers boost WITHOUT a loss in power. I'm still lost on this GTM + LTH issue.

B.O.O.S.T

Back orifice open spear thoroughly

Read below post :icon14:

Thank you finally somebody understands!!!!! :tup:

HAHA I totally understand but in the world of VQ motors this does not apply for some reason, and ask any of the 350z guys...They don't know as well! But it is known that high flow headers lowers the boost! That Mustang of yours running good? You should bring it out to one of our many outings ;)

:hello:

I got it a long time ago.

He isnt losing PSI from it being a VQ motor. He is losing it because of other factors.

The Kit was designed for a Stock 370z with stock exhaust therefor they made a pulley that produced 8 lbs for a stock 370z.

His car has very free flowing exhaust (due to the long tube headers and berk cat back, and lack of cats) which makes it much more efficient so it will take a different pulley and tune in order to get the 8lbs of boost.

So what needs to happen is he needs to get about a 10-12lb pulley and re tune.

I would love to bring the stang out it runs great! I would love to see your car and others that Matt and I have talked about, however I have a pregnant wife at home so getting out isnt as easy anymore!

he's not making MORE power with Less boost thought. He is making more power at the same level of boost than he would with stock exhaust though.

Basically. His efficient setup causes that pulley to only push 5.5 lbs of boost. If he replaced his exhaust with stock components, he would make 8 lbs of boost, and would make more power than his current setup. HOWEVER, if he gets his current setup up to 8 lbs of boost by way of a new pulley, he will make MORE power than the 8 lbs of boost did with stock exhaust.
