Completely disagree. 282 RWHP/260 TQ on a dyno dynamics is definately 300+ rwhp & 280+ tq on most other dynos.

How is that not great from an NA VQ35?

A few questions:

- Is the "over 10k" price tag including full bolt-ons or just the engine internals + labor?
- Can you give us a full list of the modifications your car has including the internals?
- Why did they only rev the engine to 6300 RPM on a built cammed engine? The power was still climbing and looks like it has more to give.

.

 

Isn't that when VTEC kicks in, yo?

 

With all boltons and labor I'm looking at around 14K+.... I got a few sponsorships here and there for parts. Here is the list of what I have so far.

As far as the 6500, I have to get the ecu reflashed to set the rev-limit higher...I'm wanting to set it at 7300 and shift at 7000K. Surprised you caught that Skate.

 

Anyone know a cheap place to get reflashed? The UTEC can't change the rev-limit.

 

The Technosquare L-Spec flash should get the job done:

- 7100 Rev Limiter (500rpm Increase on Non-Revup)
- Speed Limiter Removal
- Drive By Wire Re-mapping

I'm sure you can make peak power around atleast 6800 RPM on an NA VQ35 built motor. The car has more to give!

.

 

where can I get this? definitly want every amount I can squeeze out.

 

^^^
I don't like AAM for builds, but I'm sure they would be willing to negotiate a price to do the reflash to remove your rev and speed limiters. They use the same software as Technosquare and you wouldn't have to ship your ECU to CA.

 

hmmm... so just drive up there and get it done huh?... wonder how much.... heard they over charge a lot.

 

tell them your with NGC or PM Dave@altetered on here

 

Congrats Champ on the nice motor. And don't worry about the money spent, we all have to treat ourself to something these days besides you earned it my friend. I wonder how your old exhaust I still have, would sound like on that motor....

 

There are three engine builds over on my350z that may interest you:

Jeremy Tibbs(Audible Mayhem of Performance Factory): http://my350z.com/forum/na-builds/25...r-project.html

Adam at z1: http://my350z.com/forum/na-builds/28...soup-nuts.html

And rednezz. See here: http://my350z.com/forum/na-builds/29...ilt-motor.html
And here: http://my350z.com/forum/na-builds/31...-294-rwhp.html

Also, if you really want to get your hands dirty with the utec, you can actually raise the rev limiter. Be sure to read the manual several times. Page 32 begins with a section named Open Loop Fuelling. Here's an excerpt(read the entire manual to make sure you really "get it", and consult with your tuner):

-----------------

Open Loop Fuelling turns UTEC open loop fuel control on or off. When Open Loop
Fuelling is enabled, the UTEC uses its own background fuel table to determine injector ontime
instead of the factory ECU’s fuel table once the car is past the Open Loop Threshold
parameter setting. This allows the UTEC to drive the injectors completely independent
from the factory ECU. This mode is active when the Open Loop Fuelling value is set to “1”.
Enabling OPEN LOOP FUELLING is recommended for more complex level of modifications
such as forced induction and is REQUIRED if would like to use Rev Limiter parameter to
increase the rev limit.
Disabling OPEN LOOP FUELLING is recommended for less modified cars. Fuel tuning is
done piggyback-style by offsetting the MAF voltage seen by the factory ECU. This mode is
active when the Open Loop Fuelling value is set to “0”. NOTE: When Open Loop
Fuelling is disabled all other Open Loop Fuelling Parameters will have no effect.

 

please take it to a dynojet before claiming what it would make on one


good to see more NA builds, we have one coming up here soon that should turn some heads....

 

Im jealous. Great Job. ~300whp and keeping the weight down is a very significant gain. I won't be surprised if u hit 12s in right conditions. The car must be a blast to drive.

BTW how was the car tuned?

 

didn't know this would offend anyone.....if a tuner who has worked on both is telling me this, then I believe him.

 

The car was tuned with a UTEC on the dyno dynamics in 95 degress heat while running for more then 2 hours.... then we went on the street and did some more stuff on the laptop.
