I think they run 15.2's stock maybe lower but could you get it to run like 14.5's with an intake, Y pipe, Cat back exhaust? or does it take more complicated mods?

 

It depends, Auto or 5-speed....

Most definitely, if you are a 5-speed, you will need an aftermarket clutch, intake, y-pipe, etc. to MAYBE get NEAR those times.

Those numbers are almost impossible to reach in an auto unless you are running N20 or boost.

Some of the other peeps can elaborate more on this for you.....

 

clutch != speed

 

A supercharger.

 

O damn i forgot to mention yeah it would be a 5 speed. I know that low 15's are a huge feat for a N/A auto.

 

aftermarket clutch == holding power
holding power == speed
aftermarket clutch == speed

 

holding power is irrelevant to speed, all it will do is resist slipping under higher power and engage quicker (this MAY increase speed, but negligable)

 

if youre adding considerable power, it is a necessity to have that holding power, as it can really cause you to be slower.

agreed, but it does not make you any faster

 

Why not check the 1/4 mile timeslip forum and see what 4th Gen 5spd guys are doing to get those times. Just a thought

 

Because he has been own3d by not searching. Sometimes the simpliest task is often made hard.

 

You will need at least a y-pipe, good weather conditions and a great driver, but you'll probably need more.

Intake, exhaust, UDP, and weight reduction would make the task easier.


Oh yeah and check you the 1/4 mile forum to see what people run with what mods.

 

Really??? wow. I ran a 15.46 at 89.375MPH ... unofficially. I have Auto 95 GXE with about 130K on the engine. Hot Air Intake, exhaust, Stillen Y, and UD Pulley. I think I would be able to do better at a track ...hopefully.

 

i remember seeing a video of an Si against a max...and it says in the beginning, 15.2 civic si, intake bla bla bla bla....then it said 14.5 second Maxima SE 5spd Intake, Y pipe, Cat, Exhaust, and ECU....maybe thats all you need?

 

Umm... that was Brian (BrianV). He has more mods than you could fit on that screen... literally. He has way more than that. Go look up his hopepage and you will see his mod list (a.k.a. Mods available for the Maxima) Sorry to dissapoint you. Anyways low 14s could be reached with simple mods (intake/y-pipe/cat-back/high-flow cat/normal rare prep) as long as you had the opportunity to master the 1320. That's what theblue did.

all u need is an intake, y-pipe, and good luck with 5 speed....u can run at best mid 14's but everything has to be just about perfect for u, weather and all.

 

I thought Brian V's max was white???

In the video the maxima that runs the SI is black

 

Brian V has a green max, which is the same one in the video, it just looks black because it is dark.

 

oic

i give him mad props

 

look at the guys running 14.9's in stock 5-speeds. 14.5 is easily obtainable with bolt ons. SmoothMax ran a 14.3 with stillen intake, stillen y-pipe, custom cat and exhaust, and plugs. stock clutch and street tires. he's also a really good driver.

i ran a 15.4 with a obx intake and upper pipe with my ghetto street tires on stock 15"s on the front. i'm an auto. 14.5 is hard but not impossible. Don ran a 14.2 with every bolt on i can think of, VLSD, and drags or slicks.
