I got my Y installed today. took me about an hour and 45 minutes.(inculding a trip to wal mart for a socket nuckle. Initial opinion, Not as much of a difference as I expected, but I also know that it takes a week or so to recieve the full benifit due to the ECU learning cycle. But when my VI kicks in it is awesome. I can "feel"
when the VI cuts on, and barking 3rd is no problem every time. I can't wait to get to the track Friday night, hopefuly by then it will be a bit stronger. I am hopeing for some mid to low 14's since I ran a 14.8 stock.

 

Sounds great. Most people say they feel it more after a week or so. A 14.8 is a very good stock time

 

well you know the driver has a little to do with it

 

woah woah woah. did you say you can spin tire in 3rd gear with no problem? what do you have on your car besides the Y pipe and VI? I don't even think the VI would help with this...i didn't think a maxima could easily spin tires in 3rd with just a y pipe....

 

also I was able to get my cat bolts off with a breaking bar. Car is a '96

 

I can't burn em down in 3rd, but a good bark is no problem. Mods list is
POPCharger with midpipe
VI set at 5K
ACT street clutch
newly rebuilt 5 speed
budget Y pipe.

 

Ahhhh ACT clutch and a fresh tranny would help with chirping 3rd...glad to see it can be done. i LOVE the VQ!!!

 

14.8!



See - this just shows how slow the Auto is.
I'm boosted and my best time is 14.7, with the VI and 3.25" Pulley!

Thank god my car is in mid-5spd swap in the garage right now.

 

dam dude. I would figure you would still be in the 13's

 

also as a side note Ben Garner is running 15.1 with nothing but a cone filter. He is auto.

 

this is what manuals do to autos.
then the auto goes

hehehe

 

(timeslip in sig )

 

Wow...awesome run. Too bad that's the exception not the norm. Most Autos with only an Intake run 15.9-16.4....

But that's just sweet man - good job!

 

guess some people just can't drive.

 

What tools do you need the install? My y pipe should come in any day now. What problems should I look out for? THanks

 

15.1 in auto with just cone filter!

 

Me and Ben have had several neck and neck runs. But ya azz is mine friday night if you bring your sorry butt out :-)

 

In my case a deep well 14mm socket, a 12 mm socket,10mm socket, a 8" extension,
a 3/8" socket wrench, breaking bar, and adjustable wrench (too cheap to buy an o2 wrench.

 

Like Terry or EB?

 

Whats a breaking bar?

 

AKA Cheater bar, it is a pipe or other object put on the end of a ratchet to give you better leverage by lengthening it.

 

got it thanks

 

Don't forget he runs at Steele in Alabama which seems to post some of the best ET/MPHs to modification ratio on this Org. Sleeper ran a 14.4@98mph with his MEVI/G-Force/Y/E/I automagic on that track.

Track Conspiracy Dave strikes again :attention

Ben runs at Montgomery Motorsports park.
as Do I. not steele

 

Nah... I've never run totally stock, but last year, when all I had was a K&N panel filter my times steadily dropped as I learned to drive.

First night out, my best was 16.1... later 15.8, then 15.4...

Finally, I was running 15.2@89 with just a panel filter. Changing that to an open cone filter got me the 15.1@90

I drove a friend's totally stock 97 GXE Auto to 15.4 (his best was 15.7).

And yes, we run at MMP.

 

I predict 14.5 with your added mods.

 

I defintly notice a lot of fast times coming from that area. Some guy ran a 14.4 in a Tiburon down there.

What elevation are those 2 tracks at?

 

umm.. I think I missed that when they were teaching it at the org... whats a VI?? .. no really whats a VI...

 

Variable Intake

 

MMP is 170ft and Steele is more like 550ft

A guy in our local club ran 14.1@100 in his stock G35 Sedan 6speed

 

Those G35's typically run 14.4's right? A stock 14.1 is phenomenal!

You should come to my track. 1500 ft high and the last 300 ft of the 1320 are uphill. It's pretty sweet.

 

My first run at a track was 16.2 bone stock with some heavy 02 SE wheels/tires. I can't remember my 2nd run but it was a bit better, still in the 16's.

I now have a y-pipe and plan to go back to the 16" wheels I had before for the track.

I need to talk to Ben for some automagic track tips

 

When I first bought my 95 Maxima Se 5 speed, I just took out the stock air filter and I fell in love with the growl. Then I raced off to the on ramp to see what all the gears felt like, and I broke em lose in third a couple times. Now my stock clutch(supposidly new) when I got the car, but slips when the car is getting beat on. I need to get a ACT and my stillen Y pipe is coming now. I also have a test pipe(warpspeed) but peeps have said dosent make a diff. I want to get to the track now!!
