how much faster is the S15 compared to S14?

[sushiming]

hey guy was just thinking how much faster is the S15 really compared to the S15 I know its about 50bhp but on the road will it see a big difference???

Depends which market you're talking about.

Euro S14
0-60: 7.3 seconds (Nissan brochure listing). Magazine tested at 6.8.
Top speed: 146mph

JDM S15
0-60: 5.6 seconds
Top Speed: limited in Japan to 112mph. Unrestricted, capable of at least 155mph.

ADM S15
0-60: 6.9 seconds
Top Speed: 149mph

For ADM cars both the S14 and S15 put out the same power at the flywheel.

S15 SR20DET Australia 2.0 Yes 147 (200)
S14 SR20DET Australia 2.0 Yes 147 (200)

But they say the S14 is slightly faster, most likely due to weight and gear ratios.

S15 SR20DET Australia 6.34 14.59
S14 SR20DET Australia 6.30 14.46

That's strange, cos the S15 is lighter and has better ratios... Well, its lighter than the Euro S14...

no, ADM S15 are much faster than ADM S14

someone dynoed a stock s15 it was higher than rated at 147kw by AU Nissan

 

[Project S15]

surely nissan wouldnt make a new car that is worse than old
then who would buy it :nod:

 

[Nicely]

Works for Subaru...

I dont think its fast enough to warrant the use of the word "much", they both dyno at around 110, only reason s15 is faster is because the engine is newer, and hasnt got 100000kms on it. :wave:

 

[S15R]

110kw?

lowest figure i saw = 126kw stock

 

[Snoozr]

70% drivetrain loss is 102kw, so 110 is quite healthy..
im talking about australian cars here

 

[S15R]

a s15 with full exhaust is about 150kwish so 40kwrw difference just an exhaust system?

so overall an exhaust system gives you 60kw at flywheel


this is using your 110kw figure, 102kw thats almost 70kw gain just an exhaust system

[sushiming]

that seems very low for a S15 but iam dont knwo too much about the ADM spec

 

[S15R]

adm s15 is not as detuned , as i had jdm and adm before the jdm manual exhaust pipe is much bigger than the adm exhaust system

btw a friend of mine dynoed his yellow s15(nzdm = jdm) in nz which had 126kwrw and i was suprised



S14 and S15 are born to be modified :thumbs:

Ben, sorry i shouldnt use the word "much" maybe not on drag but on track i bet s15 is faster

 

[Nicely]

ADM S15 spec is vitually the same as the Euro S14. The exhaust is the biggest restriction. That's why power gains are so dramatic on the S14 compared to the S15 when changing to a free flowing item.

Depends which market you're talking about.

Euro S14
0-60: 7.3 seconds (Nissan brochure listing). Magazine tested at 6.8.

ADM S15

I found my NZ spec R in standard form with 180km/h speedo can go right off the clock, over 200km/h down the Pukekohe back straight!.. so the NZ ones aren't limited!

Out of the brochure the S15 (New Zealand):

Power in kW : 184@6400 rpm
Torque in Nm : 275@4800 rpm
Kerb weight : 1240 kg (unladen with all fluids, tools, spare etc)

Anyone else got any other brochures?
