I just got a 93 Q45 yesterday and i totally love the car, such luxury and handling! But just out of curiousity what do these cars typically put down on a dyno? I've read about the 278hp japanese rating but its really higher thing, and i know my Q45 pulls really nicely.

I searched a bit and could only find 1/4 mile stuff, 15s, 14s runs. Pretty good if you ask me. I dont drive my Q like that, drag racing a Q45 is like playing football in a tuxedo to me. I'l give it the occasional full throttle romp but i usually drive it very smooth. Done over 200 miles in it already its so nice.

In case anyone is curious, its emerald green with 120k miles and exceptional condition inside and out. The guy gave it to me for 4600 bucks. Its so much fun to just drive, i dont have to race or corner hard its just fun.

The Q engine is tuned for a torque peak at 4,000 rpm where a good stock example can produce 307 lb/ft . There are two HP peaks 5500 rpm ~~ 266 lb/ft and 6,000 rpm ~~244 lb/ft. at flywheel.

ill let you know this fri im putting it on the dyno. the dyno im gong to test it on is a full rolling chassis dyno so the readings im going to post on fri are true hp at the wheel. so if anyone has any ideas like airbox or anything simple that you heard would increase hp on this vehicle let me know and ill let you know the results. by the way the vehicle being tested is a 95 Q456t with 84k miles on it.
