Check out the JWT site, a couple new pics of the kit on a 350Z and a side note that they are approaching completion. Good news as it has been a while since we have heard anything on it. The front mount on the 350Z is beautiful! Good job guys keep us posted!

Holy Area-Under-The-Curve, Batman! That TQ curve is AMAZING!

Looks like 412hp, 422tq (over 400tq at just over 3000rpms) - amazing numbers at 6.8psi w/ stock cats... Damn, this is going to be the kit to get if you live in Cali (and have about $7500-8k to pony up for the price)

 

remember that's at the crank not the wheels.

 

It's a bit misleading ... those are not crank figures. They are in fact rear wheel figures. Allow me to explain ...

JWT uses DynaPack dynamometer, which measures the power from the rear axles minus the wheels. You may be wondering why the posted print out states 'flywheel'? The Dynapack software is to be blamed. It demands the operator to supply a known TCF (Transmission Correction Factor) that represents the drive-line loss, so it could report the numbers from the 'crank' (or 'flywheel') perspective. Sounds cool, but most every DynaPack operator I know haven't gone through the trouble of measuring what each vehicle's actual drive-line loss is (it's funky business anyhow). So, they are almost certain to have left TCF at 1.0, or zero correction. Thus, the software's report of 'flywheel' figures are actually 'rear wheel/axel' figures.

In addition, DynaPack results are typically 4-6% higher than that of the DynoJet's ... depending on 'load' setting. You could safely assume (from the posted dyno plot) that iteration of the JWT TT makes approximately 390-400 rwhp on a DynoJet.

 

Clint is absolutely correct. But regardless, that's still alot of power increase for $7k-$8k. Best part is it's smog legal and still on stock cat and exhaust. I'll be ready for this upgrade in 5 years . I'm really glad our cars are getting pretty good aftermarket support.

 

You bet ... 400rwhp is no laughing matter. Anything more w.o. forged internals will be a ticking time bomb.

I simply can't believe the number of 500+ rwhp VQs we'll be seeing in the not so distant future! I N S A N E ! ! !

 

It is not a rumor.

505rwhp APS TT on stock internals

 

You all missed the part on the JWT website where they said the dyno results were from testing ABOVE the factory 6.8psi. Please read the bottom of the dyno screenshot where it states that it was between 7.4 and 8.2 psi on "high octane".

 

I don't believe anyone pointed that out as a 'rumor' or unattainable. It's certainly possible to go 450 and even 500 rwhp w. stock engine components. The question remains the associated reliability ... thus my suggestion of a 'ticking time bomb' at *well over* 400. From reading that thread ... you also get the sense that something bad's about to happen.

Bottom of the line is ... there exists forged internaled VQs w. quality components that still fails at 500 and beyond. Some even at a much lower mark. The odds are not in your favor if you play with stock internal and other components.



Definitely saw that here ... which is why I noted "that iteration of the JWT TT makes approximately 390-400 rwhp on a DynoJet."

Ok, went back and read the post again. My bad misunderstood. Anyway I would not do that on my car, but this guy has been driving around for 6K+ miles.
