ka-t_180sx · 01-26-2009, 06:14 PM

i made 285whp at 16psi @ 91octane....

my setup---------
.apexi power fc
.550 nismo injectors
.s15 bb turbo
.walbro fuel pump
.brian crower 264 cams
.megan manifold
.3in turbo back
.hks intake
.greddy FMIC
.greddy Iridiums 8 range
.greddy RAS

Monooxide · 01-26-2009, 06:34 PM

I agree.

Should be over 300 WHP if it is a S15 Turbo and not an S14 one.

weissguy · 01-26-2009, 06:35 PM

post dyno sheet and type of engine

Flicktitty · 01-26-2009, 06:37 PM

seems average.... but i agree should have been over 300whp.

vespaman · 01-26-2009, 06:49 PM

about the average. it could reach to 300 or a little over if you raise the boost to 18psi and run test pipe i guess.

what type of dyno?

who tuned your car?

norcal_black240 · 01-26-2009, 07:02 PM

Numbers seem average to me if this was on a mustang dyno

ka-t_180sx · 01-26-2009, 07:33 PM

driftspeed.com
Dynapack dyno

Monooxide · 01-26-2009, 08:04 PM

3000 or 4000 series?

ka-t_180sx · 01-26-2009, 08:20 PM

i dont know

1989rps13 · 01-26-2009, 08:27 PM

average id sayy

design240sx · 01-26-2009, 08:29 PM

should of made over 300+ though.

ka-t_180sx · 01-26-2009, 08:39 PM

285whp feels good...but i need more power 300whp....lol

lflkajfj12123 · 01-26-2009, 10:19 PM

285 doesn't get your e-boner up when u see those numbers

300 or bust amirite

JeremyR · 01-26-2009, 10:29 PM

somethings wrong with your setup...either bad motor or bad tune... should of made more power at that level of boost...

EDacIouSX · 01-26-2009, 10:35 PM

you should ask driftspeed about those numbers and if they noticed anything wrong. they do pretty good work.

Sileighty_85 · 01-27-2009, 02:48 AM

does seem a little low

My red top on stock Cams,370cc Stock ECU, MAF,T28, @ 10psi made 254whp

GSXRJJordan · 01-27-2009, 03:05 AM

Seems totally normal. Post the graph, that'll tell the story.

Psycho 240 Freak · 01-27-2009, 03:53 AM

Mine with the HKS GT2530 only made 270 whp at 17 psi, but this was without cams and on a Mustang dyno. It's not the tuning either because the motor was tuned by U.P. Garage close by Seattle. Everyone in the area knows that's the place to go for Nissans.

It's probalby not hurting your peak hp output, but isn't the 264 cams not a good match for the S15 turbo? Wouldn't it not benefit the the quick spooling of the S15 turbo?

264's are a great match for the S15 turbo... it's been said by a couple people that 272's would actually make for an even more linear powerband for those wanting to really rev out high.

Post the dyno sheet, stop comparing numbers when we have no idea what correction he's at/how the torque curve looks/etc.

Zeller · 01-27-2009, 03:22 PM

Don't you think the 91 pisstane had anything to do with it? 93 octane would have definately been over 300whp.

bkfill · 01-27-2009, 03:34 PM

what weather?, whats the storey behind your tuner?

seems low im sure you would of made it over 300+ with cams

do you have a fuel pressure gauge?

you should get a inline fuel pressure gauge just incase

crower 264's aren't cams?

did you degree the 264's or throw 'em in straight up?

silly us. .2 octane would've definitely upped the cars power 25hp... I'll remember that next time I need 25+ more horsepower.

ryangreg · 01-27-2009, 04:00 PM

16 psi is why it only made 285, turn the boost up to 21 psi and see what comes of it.

Since 285 to 300 is only 15hp I will remember who "not" to ask for simple math problems!!

And why don't you call a tuner up and ask him on a tuned car how much difference there is between 91-93 octane. I garentee there is more than you think (I know from experience), but since you obviously have tuned with both 91 and 93 octane I am sorry that I didn't ask you first!!

GSXRJJordan · 01-27-2009, 04:53 PM

Haha, yes 93 octane would be nice. Not to mention CA gas has all sorts of other crap in it that makes it perform worse. Annnnnyyyywayyyyy...

Like I said, weather and correction can make all the difference to "bench racers". And Ansky - I always ask why no one runs adj cam gears to degree them in, and the unanimous response is that with SR's there's really no benefit. I don't know anyone that runs them, whereas with most other motors they're a must when you buy cams.

ka-t_180sx · 01-27-2009, 06:19 PM

found out why im making 285whp....compression tested 110-140-110-130....got a new tune 260whp @ 15psi.........

Monooxide · 01-27-2009, 06:21 PM

That sucks dude...I knew something was awry.

Om1kron · 01-27-2009, 06:24 PM

it's a KA man, keep on trucking until it shoots a rod lol. j/k

DrIvEsldEwAyS · 01-27-2009, 06:24 PM

i was making 277 with stock cams, dynapacks read low, those numbers sound right. i miss that turbo, i went from that to the 2871r and hated it, now im 35r and hate the response but love the power. +1 for s15 turbo
