Most Horsepower Ever!?! My Infiniti M56 gets on the dyno

2011 Infiniti M56 on the dyno

Very impressive!! These m56s are slept on big time. The v8s can take so much abuse and with bolt-ons can make some nasty power. Injectors and fuel pump, bigger intake and throttle body on some corn juice, you're making closer to 500whp. And then you slap a supercharger on, you got an Infiniti Hellcat

[@esc5085]

I been sayin they underrated

[@luisvega333]

Did some research on these and you might need to upgrade your rods and pinstons if you wanna add boost. Only meant to be be ran as N/A

I wanted a M56/Q70 but i believe the FX50 unique 5.0 can handle boost and abuse since its already a racing V8 but have a special place in my heart for the 5.6's

[@TheHoggman]

Pretty sure the 5.0 is just a smaller version of the 5.6. Both have VVEL and dual throttle bodys

[@brianheiden6623]

Dam thats close to 500hp at the crank. Beast mode! Nice numbers, probably could hit 500 to the wheels if you were able to run straight pipes, larger throttle body and intake pipe with a monster cone. Adjustable cam gear on intake and exhaust side plus oversized valves and headwork/porting.

Couple questions bud. Do the PPE Engineering headers come with the highflow cats? And if they dont, which highflow cats are you using? And what are your 0-60 and 1/4 mile times after the mods and tune?

[@TheHoggman]

Headers don't have cats in them - the exhaust I had them make, they added the magnaflow hiflo cats.

[@stevenneese2823]

Shit man, that's a 500 horse motor. I'm sure the headers and exhaust are what really made that tune possible.

I got them from EBay and made a post about it on NicoClub forums. I don't think there was a poster increase but maybe there was? They are functionally the same as the HPS intake tubes and they showed an 8hp increase.

[@Chinese_Chicken]

Is the number WHP? Can you post a dyno sheet so I can look into the RPMs. Or DM it to me? I plan on buying the M56s and might want to DAP tune mine. Dap on the Tundra is amazing.

My 2011 was making 424 hp and torque was in the 430s at the wheels. Custom exhaust changes, HPS intake tubes, K&Ns, and Uprev tuned by me. Went 12.2 @ 112 in the 1/4 on a 2.2s 60'. Car had an easy 11 second pass in it if I had put it on drag radials.

Question: how did you get yours tuned? Did they use uprev or a different tuning platform? If you could link me to it that’d be great because I’m trying to get mine tuned and the guys are making it very difficult… I’ve already been waiting 3 months on them and they’re saying I’m gonna have to wait 3 more months and pay uprev $200 to transfer my rom files over… and I’m jsug trying to get it down quicker. So I’d you could lmk how you did it that’d be great. Thanks

[@TheHoggman]

Last I heard Uprev had stopped supporting tuning for the M56 platform. That was a while back and I haven't looked more into it so it may have changed, but I'm not sure. Only other tuning platform that would work is HPTuners but I haven't heard much about anyone tuning with it yet. I'd contact Admin Tuning, Moncef can help with UpRev questions, but I'm not sure about HPTuners.

[@gaugebuseck3375]

@@TheHoggman thanks for the response, I decided to go ahead and just pay them the money and suffer for 3 months til they get me the tune... but in the mean time, do you think the catch cans are helpful, becuase Im thinking I want to install some, but I cant seem to find any for the M56, so if you wouldnt mine, could you lmk where you got yours from, assuming theyre still around.
