Two friends of mine are about to settle an ongoing battle of who would take the better E/T on the 1/4 mile.
2003 accord coupe 6spd with I/E/P vs 2002 max 6spd with the same I/E/P on the 1/4 mile who would get owned?
Your comments.

 

Does the A33B have headers?

Why not just race and find out

 

Just race and see what happens.

 

Think he just has the y-pipe.

 

Should be close

 

i think the 3.5 4th gen can.....

 

Our comments won't matter until they actually race.

/thread

 

......

 

I think a S/C 4th can....

 

=

We just have different ways of expressing ourselves.

 

well since the accord has less horsepower and hondaness keepin it back, the max should .

 

They did finally run this weekend but only made a couple of passes these were the results
03 accord
R/T....525
60' ....2.227
330....6.112
1/8....9.289
MPH...78.75
1000...11.995
1/4....14.293
MPH....98.64

02 MAX
R/T....542
60'...2.317
330...6.297
1/8...9.524
MPH...77.23
1000...12.270
1/4...14.599
MPH...97.22

The second pass the honda made a 14.1 sec pass with a 2.2 60ft @ 99mph....and the max pulled a 14.4 sec pass with a 2.3 60ft @ 97mph.

Although i was pissed the max didn't pull out the win they both ran good times
also didn't think the accord had that much potential.

 

...

Homeboy in the A33B can't drive worth a.ss though.

 

Yeah that sucks. Didnt know the accords were that fast. Hey jouvert00 what part of b-more u from and what track did you go to I thought they were all closed?

 

This was a little strip in cumberland md just b4 breezwood....i did't even know about it.... they had test and tune on sunday.

 

How did the A33B launch, what RPM did they shift at? You say he had a y-pipe, correct? IMO, before he does anymore mods, IMO should practice driving first.


This was a drivers race, and the Accord was obviously the better driver.

I've seen many 03 Accord 6MT's do low 14's, very lightly modded, same with 02/3 Maxima 6MT's.

Looking at a dyno, the Maxima puts down much better torque, and as always less high rpm power. But keep in mind, the accord is still working with a 3.0.

 

I think the accord had better 60ft times when he launched @ 3000 rpms and the 02 max @ 2,500 rpms this is what they both claim.
I also think the accord redlines @ 6850-6900 and gearing might also be different.

 

Their shift points re: speed are nearly identical. (+/-5mph)

 

I don't know where their shift points were....i'm assuming close to or at redline

 

But if they both redlined, what I stated was true.

 

Cool I'm going to have to check that out. I think I've seen you at northern parkway a couple of times during the summer. I just saw your sig and I remembered your car.

 

our maxima driver cant drag...at all. With intake exhaust and pulley he should be running better than stock #'s.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

haha jeez...is the a33 shifting too slow or something? I ran a 1/8th mile, 9.5xx with a 2.4xx 60ft...If i broke into the 2.2's (which is what 6spd maximas should do) I'd be blazing....

 

You win some, you lose some.

 

That dude cant drive, and why is his trapspeed so low, 97 with mods? ouch

I did a 9.1/14.1 @ 98 in my brothers stock 02 6spd max on a 2.2 60
and
9.0 @ 79 in my stock 02 5spd Alti on a 2.1 60

Ive run stock 6spd Accord coupes in both cars and the 3.5's pulls out early on them and holds it all the way. Just my experience though.

 

wow i had no idea that honda made such a quick 3 liter.

 

They make quick 2 liters too...the RSX Type S...its not as light as most people think (weighs 2840lbs)...and is a torqueless 142ft-lbs....but it can still cut into the 14s stock...

 

Let's have a dyno shootout b!sh.

 

Don't even make me laugh. A Honda Accord wouldn't even stand a chance. They run in the 15's stock. And with the same performance the Maxima would kill it.

 

All about the Vtec

 

maybe in your world...but in our world, the honda accord easily beat it...as you can see in the timeslip

 

Did you miss the point of the thread? The accord beat the max. If the max had a better driver the times would have been closer....

 

its kinda funny that he ran that in a 6 spd since today i ran 14.34 in my auto with the same mods MINUS the pulley...somewhat sad IMO.

 

Dont forget that drag times are subject to atmospheric conditions. In relation to "I do better than him with less mods/auto/whatever", a 14.4 in bad conditions could be better than a 14.0 in good conditions. There is no reason why the maxima driver here couldnt have gotten a 2.20x 60' or less except that they blow at driving. I would say the accord has better top end power due to the ~1.5mph difference in trap speed, but it could be easily attributable to the lack of skill (e.g. slow shifting) on the maxima drivers part.

 

could it really make that much of a difference? with his mods he should be able to get into the 13's, hes at least half a second off where he could be. o well. better luck after hes done using his new practice tree.

 

I wouldn't underestimate the conditions either. And I think its highly improbable that a 5.5 6MT can break into the 13s N/A with just an intake and y-pipe.

 

I don't think he has a ypipe...just I/E/pulley

Correct me if I am wrong...but I don't think their is a 13 sec 6spd max with only I/E/P...

 

Post #4?

I/E/P or I/Y/E/P still won't see 13 sec NA...

 

I thought the first post says I/E/P?

And yes 13s with I/Y/E has been in a 6spd...Emax02 did it...and so did Jaypee something....Blu has done it and hes automatic without headers
