Random Little Question Thread
How exactly does it put more stress on the engine? Low RPM passing vs Higher RPM passing. Engine Load due to gearing?
I rather have most of the load go on the engine then have my tranny shift like nuts. I have good oil in my car so let it do its job. UOA's come out great so my engine is not really stressing.
All dynos are different though... and with dynojets there are so many variables it's not even worth it to judge a cars performance ability based on the number.
The only thing I ever do is see how my car compares to others on the same dyno that day (it always does well again other VQDE)
RWD saps some power
i think a lot of it is that nissan pulls hp numbers out of its *** too(for sales reasons). 02-03 sedans are rated 260, coupes 280, z's 287, 05-06 non rev ups 280...they all have the same engine...they all dyno roughly the same.
02-06 sentra SE-R 165hp, SE-R Spec V 175hp, again same engine, the differences are attributed to higher flowing exhaust bs..just a bunch of marketing nonsense
also I think they rated the early sedans 260 because they only recomend premium but the coupe requires it...lolz
funny thing about rev ups
rev up 298hp crank 240-245whp HR 306hp crank 260-265whp... <-do want
i wanna get an hr and build it to rev to 9000..lol
