damn I think thats the highest dek dyno #'s I've other than dandymax, do you plan to extend teh rev limit since that thing was still making power

btw great job on the engine bay

MoncefA33 · 07-12-2009, 12:24 AM

I'm thinking cuz it was tuned with SMT-6 instead of an S/VAFC.

Dandy runs an EU (and so will I soon

).

Nice numbers! What's next for it?

*98SEBlackMax* · 07-12-2009, 10:48 AM

I'm waiting on those biki rom boards to come out so I can raise the rev limiter and re-tune with it. A 7200 rpm rev limit would help me alot.

The SMT-6 gets better results because it can advance timing as well as tune the A/F ratio. The EU is capable of doing the same and more.

For the future I may header wrap the secondaries and gasket match them, convert to a returnless fuel setup, and try those intake manifold spacers NWP is selling.

Product_Of_Korea · 07-12-2009, 12:05 PM

Yeah i agree i bet you have a extra 10 hp hiding still.

But those are some awsome #s for 3.0

*DandyMax* · 07-12-2009, 12:10 PM

Very good numbers for the setup Joe, that's about what I had with my DE+00VI.

Definitely needs more revs, and I'd be interested to see where the peak is... a lot of DEK dynos tend to peak a little lower than DE+00VI from what I've seen, but of course as you know there's more to it than just the cam difference.

Grand_hustle17 · 07-12-2009, 02:41 PM

beautiful from the DE-K

QNO_A32 · 07-12-2009, 03:13 PM

damn go 3.0L

*Zack342* · 07-12-2009, 04:34 PM

Joe.....Amazing however I am not surprised that motor has always been strong, I will catch up with you next time your in the area maybe you can take me for a spin.

Crusher103 · 07-12-2009, 04:52 PM

damn thats solid, lol @ those torks its pretty much a line not even a curve

It is funny the TQ on this car makes it feel slow. Since there is no sudden surge of power the car feels slow and smooth on highway pulls, then the speed gets into the triple digits pretty quick.

JAMAICANLOVRBOY · 07-12-2009, 10:38 PM

wow very good numbers

haha, thats what alot of people dont understand with the VQs i love it when people sit there and say 350Zs are slow and go on and on but its the power comes on soo smooth.

how easy is the SMT-6 to use and install, this is the first time im hearing about it, ur AFR is dead on through the whole powerband, it might be easier for people like me who dont want to go through the complications of the EU.

SMT-6 is only 7 wires and needs a RF filter on the crank signal line so it takes a bit of time to setup right. I got mine to work in '05 and Kevlo had one before the EU that I got to work for him. He sold his setup to Otransedental (sp?) and it didn't work for him. I told him how to set it up and he didn't want to do it that way then i never heard back from him, so

SMT-6 is limited in timing advance and it only works when the engine is not in closed loop. I only tune from 3500 rpm to redline and use the AFPR to tune fuel below that rpm range.

**Kevlo911** · 07-13-2009, 12:02 PM

That means I am making more than you right now

*ajcool2* · 07-13-2009, 12:44 PM

Nice numbers.

**Nealoc187** · 07-16-2009, 11:49 AM

man that 00vi flows, wish I had the patience to get it working on my 3.5 but i'll just put one on my turbo 3.0 instead hehe. awesome numbers.

**nismology** · 07-16-2009, 07:10 PM

Ahhhhhh the good 'ole 3.0.

Great #'s!

ghostmax301 · 07-16-2009, 10:27 PM

nice numbers hopefully im somewhere around there

*essential1* · 07-17-2009, 07:30 AM

Thats what I love about the 00vi/dek. It just begs for more revs

*KRRZ350* · 07-17-2009, 05:33 PM

Nice numbers

Grand_hustle17 · 07-18-2009, 12:32 PM

man, if companies paid as much attention to the VQ30DE-k motor like they did the VQ35... beautiful numbers buddy, i just come in this thread to just look at the sheet just because lol

*98SEBlackMax* · 07-19-2009, 09:16 AM

This engine never ceases to amaze me. Had a two day track event at New Jersey Motor Sports park in some pretty harsh conditions and the DEK held up nicely. The oil level didn't move at all and it felt good all thru the event. Now if I can get the rest of the damn car to hold up as well.

*95maxrider* · 07-21-2009, 03:23 PM

Wow, those are impressive numbers. I've always been curious about removing my swirl valves, but have never had a good enough reason to do it. Were you pleased with the results?
