I know… I know… Many of you have been waiting patiently to hear what has been going on with this 350z project car. Now I am here to feed you a just a teaser of what is to come! From the graph below you can see that the car made 500whp and almost 500wtq at 15lbs of boost on our terrible CA 91 octane fuel. Remember that this car has a built automatic transmission, with a drive train loss of over 20%. That puts the crank horsepower rating at or above 650hp!!!
If you are wondering why the car hasn’t made more all you need to do is consult the dyno graph again. Just as the torque converter locks up the numbers seem to go flat. This is because the car has a mere fifteen degrees of timing in it. When fully tuned this car will run close to 18 or 19 degrees of total timing which will smooth out the graph and bring this engine to life!
REMEMBER THIS WAS JUST THE BASELINE RUN WITH THE NEW TURBO KIT
After more timing is added and the air fuel ratio is adjusted, we expect to see the graph continue to climb into the atmosphere. Only time and tuning will tell, and for that you will have to wait just a little bit longer. Drool away.
