nissandoms47 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 That is why the VGs last so long, they are dogged out making the stock parts last longer. not really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorgan4 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Also, notice that it's at altitude. Up here in CO you aren't making close to 240hp at the flywheel in a VQ. After reading the link about the VG potential I'm set on keeping this block. Drivetrain loss in a 4wd is a whole lot more than 5-10%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my rear wheel drive Camaro the drivetrain loss is about 15% and I've dynoed it a lot. I'm guessing its over 20% with a 4x4.

Acey Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) Here is dyno test of a vq done by K&N for their air intake. It shows the baseline at 169 HP at the rear wheels. Thats a 30% loss if stock is approximately 240 HP. Edited March 23, 2007 by Acey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) The proof is in the pudding. Unfortunately for ug VG owners, if we put our 96-00 R50's on a dyno, we will probably be lucky to see 140 hp Edited March 23, 2007 by FUELER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mora2818 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Wow, that is pretty decent power improvement for an air filter on the VQ's. Is it that drastic on the VG's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acey Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 K&N didn't make one for the VGs. An intake on a VG would be just as drastic, depending on the intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbopath Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) The Z guys typically dyno high 240's to the wheels with the typical intake/header/exhaust setup. (just as a contrast from their 235 to the wheels stock) Edited March 25, 2007 by turbopath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
