Hey guys was just wondering if i were to modify my v35 what would i have to do to get around 200rwkw, would i need to do any major mods or are there light modifications i can make that will give me significant power gains? is there anyone on the forums that has made this kind of power without needing anything like a turbo kit/super charger?

Proper pod cai, plenum spacer, plugs, headers, high flow cats, catback exhaust, ecu flashed or piggybacked and possibly stage one cams. You may try to skip cams and do lightweight flywheel and underdrive pulleys.

You'd get similar "feel" if you change the final drive gearset btw.

No worries. Defintely attainable. There are some unopened de's going around with 190rwkw. You're just gonna need to do the last bolt ons available or pop in some drop in stage one cams so you won't need to touch the valves and springs.

It's what I was gonna do but alas I'm selling my v ATM.

I'm curious how it'd be with 200rwkw+ and swapped final drive gearset =O

Thats a bit optimistic in my opinion.

Perhaps on a very happy dyno.

Also, the final drive WILL change the dyno reading, beacuse it is a reading of the power at the wheels (not the engine). Its the same as doing it in a lower or higher gear. So i'm not sure what you mean by "feel"?

I'm looking to get to that 200 mark aswel.

I had Spacer and Pop charger with Ztube and got 177rwkw. I now have Extractors and Grounding kit(I don't now if this gives you any more power but when i bought the kit it claimed 5hp) and i'm hoping to get 190rwkw with these new mods. Next is Exhuast and a Dyno Tune. Fingers crossed i get the 200rwkw.

Agreed. On a VQDE rolling a dyno dynamics dyno in shootout mode you will be hard pressed to make it to 200...maybe if you do everything and a 4.9 final drive. I've only heard of one VQDE making more than 200rwkw in NA, and it was an expensive exercise from what I hear, involving high-comp pistons and upgraded valvetrain.

The final drive mod won't affect the kw atw reading too much. I've had runs done in 3rd and 4th in one of my previous cars and the kw reading was honestly about 3kw difference or so iirc.

When i said "feel" i meant the acceleration rate/g's pulled should be close-ish between a V35 with bolt ons and a V35 with mostly standard stuff and a final drive gearset.

I think full bolt ons and cams should just touch 200 but i may be wrong of course!

I've hit 182 on a dyno dynamics and that was with stock headers, cats, y pipe, airbox (but with ztube and panel filter) and pulleys still. Plus the y back exhaust i had was more tuned for sound than flow/power. Add headers, metal cats, y pipe, lightweight fly/pulleys and it should hit near 200 imho, drop some stage one cams and it will be there or over in my mind.

To the OP, just remember weight is the mainy enemy in the V. Look up Amuse 350z to see how the vq35 goes with bolt ons and much less weight..

Oic well if bolt on mods can at least get me close ill be happy i wouldnt say the power of a stock v35 is lacking just wouldnt mind having a bit more there for a little more fun i was under the impression an exhaust doesnt make too much of a difference but had planned on getting one for the sound anyway but if it does even better!

I totaly forgot..... I have Light Wieght Underdrive Pulleys aswell :P So i'm sure i'll get over 190rwkw. I'll see if i can get a dyno run next week.

I pulled a 14.5 up in Townsville in summer with a full tank of petrol and everything in the car "spare wheel jack etc" with 35 profile tyres pumped to 40PSI

Id say with less than 1/4 tank of petrol no crap in the boot and the stock wheels/tyres with a lower pressure as i did get wheel spin "lazy diff" perfect launch and a good reaction a flat 14 would be acheivable at around 170 to 175rwkw

Thats what I thought too after running a 14.85 sec best run last Dec with a totally stock (160rkw dyno dynamics shoot out mode) car. However experimenting with 1/8 tank of fuel and no boot contents (spare etc removed) has only resulted in shocking axle tramp untill tyre pressures are below 30psi and then dont seem to bite off the line. Will get new data next Sat from willowbank but 'seat of the pants' testing hints at slow hole shots from too light a rear end set up.

Reason I cited a 13.9 pass was that an aquaintance with a 200rwkw coupe got this time from his best run of the day a couple of years ago.

I have personal experience against a stroked (3.7 litre) coupe that could only manage a 15.50 sec pass same run as my 14.85. His was auto and a free wheeling diff (no lsd ) so attribute the slow time to traction issues.

Just got home from the Dyno and i got 191rwkw. Mods Popcharger with Z Tube, Plenum Spacer, light wieght Pulleys, Extractors and a Grounding kit.

I Dyno the car stock when i got it and had 163rwkw. So about 28kw of mods. 9 more to go :rofl2:

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
