Went to the track.To all that say MEVI doesnt do anything in the 1/4 CLICK
Memphis Motorsports Park
Memphis, TN -Weather- UV Index: 0 Minimal Dew Point: 74°F Humidity: 87% Visibility: Unlimited Pressure: 30.04 inches and rising Wind: calm -96 GLE 5 SPD- JWT/ECU MEVI PR CAI UR Flywheel ACT STS Test Pipe Car was fully loaded. Nothing taken out. -Time Slip- http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...1_199_full.jpg Was very very humid outside and nobody was doing all that well. Ran a total of 11 times. I have about 8 15.1's and a 15.0.(and a few messups).I raced my friend in his 03 SE-R specV 6spd. He couldnt get out of the 16s. That is him on the left in the time slip. His best was 16 flat. Then there was a 91-93 Mustang 5.0 that kept getting 16.xx. Something was wrong there. Another was a 300ZX that kept getting 16.xx. My previous best was 15.2 with the ECU.This is the only mod that I have added since last time. (MEVI) So here is to all the non-believers that say the MEVI doesnt do anything on the 1/4. A .3 seconds off my time works for me. Im going back when the weather gets better. Side note - (Anybody want to sell their V1?):) |
sounds like you did good. especially doing better than all of those pretty respectable cars like the 300zx, trans am, and 03 se-r. Wish I could have seen it. :)

Work on your 60' times and why are your RT's below .500 isn't that redlighting???
|
way to go
some places give you a yellow slip on redlights, thought it had to be in the negative ? any comments on that ?
hey 96 what were your times without jwt ecu and mevi ? just for comparison if you have them |
It's the combo of the MEVI and the extended rev limiter. A VI w/o the JWT/ECU will not give 1/4 mile gains.

Side note - (Anybody want to sell their V1?):) I am glad you dont believe the hype, forget what some people say, is your car get what ever you want for it. Race a modded maxima with the regular manifold, I am willing to bet you will pull on him after 51K without the JWT ECU. With the ECU youll be so far gone it wont be funny. Dont always believe the BS, thats discussed, just try it, it is different from person to person. I mean I asked time and time again about the alloy flywheel. I am glad I did not listen and went on my own program like I usually do. Glad it worked out for you. Now your going back to a V1. Dont do it, go back to the V2, but if noise that floats your boat why not Turbo?, you can hear it spool from about a block away:D |

i think 96 will cut a bit more off too ! but he hit the 14's and thats where im trying to get. im working on my wheels at the moment and then im going to start back on the jwt ecu upgrade. some place sent me the wrong ecu, which has been a setback.

.500 is a perfect launch I think...doesn't get any better
nice times! |
Which would make sense b/c the extended rev limiter makes the 5-speed gears longer, sorta kinda like the auto, sort of:)

Following that thought along, an auto max with a JWT and MEVI would probably see the biggest gain NA, better than a manual, just in terms of improvement. As for that auto beating a 5-speed with MEVI and JWT, that would be very interesting to find out . . . . . . .

Alot of tracks have in the past year gone with a .000 light being perfect. It doesn't change the timing system at all, just how they write the numbers. I've raced at tracks with both timing schemes. Just makes it easier to see if you've redlighted... if your RT is negative you redlighted, if its positive you didnt.
For instance the a .250 at a track that uses .000 as perfect and a .750 R/T at a track that uses .500 as perfect are the same reaction time just expressed in a different manner. |
A .000 is perfect here. I dont have slips without the ECU sorry. And I forgot to mention I have a Y pipe. And Jaime please tell me why no V1...:)

Congrats on the 14.9. You didn't mention the temps.
I'll be running tonight fully loaded in 100+ degree heat. We'll see if I can even get a 14.9. Dave |
Exactly. And since autos have longer gearing than 5-speeds, they are bound to benefit more from an MEVI/JWT combo more than a 5-speed given that each gear is 500 rpms longer. I'm not saying that the auto will be faster than the 5-speed, the auto will see like say a .5 sec improvement in the 1/4 mile, whereas the 5-speed may see a .4 sec improvement. They both gain, but the auto may gain more. The 5-speed will still be faster. So, yeah, really:)
Anyhow, if an auto JWT MEVI would race a 5-speed JWT/MEVI, everything else being equal, there's a chance that the auto can take the 5-speed speed from top of 1st to 2nd gear, but at 3rd gear and beyond, the 5 speed will rule. Just a chance, not blow it away or anything. This is becuase I beleive that 1st gear in the 5-speed can be way too powerful and putting that power to the ground in FWD is hard. The auto has a weaker 1st gear to better spread the power. DW Originally posted by Dave B Well, not really. The ECU helps both the auto/5 speed because you're entering the each gear 500rpms higher which places you in the ideal spot on the shift. You're also able to run the gear 500rpms which is important because power really doesn't fall off much at 7000rpms. Dave |

Originally posted by JAY25 your going to complain where did that extra PSI go? smaller pulley, go with a V1 then, talk to craig mack and see if he will sell you his. I will check on the temps tonight. |
um, since there is a big discussion about humidity on the pet peeve thread, isn't anybody gonna coment on the 87% humidity? i though humidity that high was pretty impossible.....just curious, what would the humidity be when its raining?
|
something is not right.. cars with less mods than that have hit lower

Originally posted by JAY25 :o maybe he cant drive i wonder what rpm he is shifting.. maybe the car just needs some new plugs and a fuel filter :gotme: or maybe the ECU hasn't adjusted yet |
the weather, 19in.wheels(if wayne ran on those), stereo, spare, jack, full interior, maybe a little too much gas in the tank...i think 14.9 is a respectable time if the wheels and stereo and the rest that stuff were left on.
--Paul |
GO GET-EM DAVE !!! burn up some rubber and snag some good times !
I was thinking maybe 96 had the big rims on the car, will have to go back and check out the info ...regardless . the time was respectable and I would be proud of it .. im going to try to break into the 14's this wednesday i hope .. i just need .2 |
Temp was 85 and had stock 16s on with jack and spare and full interior in the car.
|
Originally posted by SprintMax i would say that if his 60ft was like 2.6.. but i have seen other people such as ejj hit mid 14's with less mods on a 2.3 60ft.. i wonder what rpm he is shifting.. maybe the car just needs some new plugs and a fuel filter :gotme: or maybe the ECU hasn't adjusted yet |
the first run was 15.1 then the 14.9 was next. then i let air out of the tires and couldnt get traction all that well for some reason. I got like 6 or 7 more 15.1's and a 15.0
|
you should try again on a cooler, less humid day...if possible
i ran a 15.0 with intake only then a 14.8 with ypipe and intake so i think you could have got the same time without the mevi |

You'll get there. Dave |

Originally posted by SprintMax but i have seen other people such as ejj hit mid 14's with less mods on a 2.3 60ft.. :woowoo: I'm just a great driver! :o According to his mod list, he doesn't have a y-pipe, which would just kill his top end. I'd have to trap at 95 or 96 with a 2.3 60' to get mid 14's. |
Originally posted by ejj According to his mod list, he doesn't have a y-pipe, |
Originally posted by SprintMax i am hoping he just left that out, because this thread is pointless if he doesn't even have a y pipe Originally posted by 96shogunmax A .000 is perfect here. I dont have slips without the ECU sorry. And I forgot to mention I have a Y pipe. And Jaime please tell me why no V1...:) I dunno then. I would think a car with those mods would trap at least 95 or so, even in that humid weather. :gotme: |

Originally posted by Dave B When ejj pulled mid 14s with a 2.3 60', it was probably much cooler out than 85 degrees with high humidity. |
Originally posted by ejj Yes. Either early spring or fall. I had a Y pipe on |
