Rooskey Dyno Thread

[Rooskey]

Well I went to the dyno over the weekend for my first of many to come dyno pulls. 2010 Nismo with Berks hfc's, NST pulleys, and K&N Typhoon intake. The temperature was roughly 77 degrees and the engine was a full operating temperature. The car made 310hp and 256tq on a dynojet. (Will try to post the run file as soon as I can, not the best with computers) Fast intentions longtube headers are on order and will be posting results here once I install them (should be shipping mid to late Nov.).

Thanks! My goal is for 335 hp with bolt-on mods. I might try the injen cold air intake before the headers just to see if they are really that much better than the K&N typhoon. Im in real good with the shop so they dont charge me much for dyno pulls.

Could you email me the run files?

Thanks

You should have an email with rooskey in the subject.

Those are just picture files -- the actual runfiles will be saved as name.drf. You need to get them from the shop where you dynoed

[Rooskey]

Thanks for posting those up. Yea I got him to send them in pdf. Ill get the others after I dyno with the headers. Probably will be after Christmas.

Cool -- thanks!

[okczguy]

nice numbers =) cant wait to see what your putting down with the Fast intentions longtube headers and injen cold air intake

[fuct]

haha beat me to it Benny.

OK I finally got around to installing my longtube headers. I highly recommend paying someone to do this project unless you are a very very patient person. If you do it yourself dont be in any hurry. The engine compartment is so packed, and now my hands and arms are cut to h*ll. The hardest part for me was accessing the 02 sensor plugs and that each bolt came out only a 1/4 turn at a time. I used about five or six different configurations of ratcheting from 3/8s to 1/2 inch drives with extension, swivals, etc... Once I got it all tore down the new headers went in fairly smooth. I did have one major issue with the install though. When it comes to removing the 02 sensors from the stock manifolds it is a B#%ch!!!! The first one did not want to come out at all. I had to work the threads back and forth till it finally decided to thread out. Once it did I noticed no threads on the sensor ($325.00 down the drain). I called Tony and he gave me some pointers on removing the second one. Once I did this I was missing just a few threads from the second sensor (another $325.00 down the drain) Yes these mother F*#%king 02 sensors are $650.00 for the pair. What a rip off!!! Anyways everything is bolted up now and im waiting on the sensors to arrive. Once I get it on the road ill give an update.

wow! Sorry to hear about all your trouble...i thought the demon bolt was bad when i put in my test pipes...yikes

[Jordo!]

^^^ Yikes -- sorry about the sensors.

Will you be re-dynoing?

[Rooskey]

Yea I will be dynoing. I might wait untill it starts to warm up just a bit until I do. My first dyno was done in 75 degree weather so I dont want my post header run to be in the 40 degree range in which it is now. For those doing this project yourself soak the 02's with PB Blaster over and over for at least a full day or so. It might help. Wish I knew ahead of time. BTW my car only has 2,800 miles so its not like its rusted up or anything.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. You'll be indoors and should go by SAE corrected numbers anyway

Just remember to do at least 4-6 pulls. ECU needs a few runs to adjust. I guess you could do it on the road, but it will load differently on the dyno, so might need to do the extra pulls anyway to hit the map cells that will be affected when dynoing.
