the 1.8t is liek that because it still has a high compression ratio, meaning that it has a very well designed intercooler and turbo. and the roots is by far the most effective supercharger. but i dont think that this kid plans on putting a turbo or super on. i dont think he needs anything if he can take on a STi.
oh and NOS on an auto is a very dumb idea, especially for off the line, they have enough problems as it is.

 

Nice racing thread

And turbo isn't good off the line? Who's the idiot that said that? Anyone heard of brake boosting??? Cripes.

"Nos off the line is bad especially for an auto" Quick! Someone tell Jime he's been doing wrong all these years. I guess his crappy 12 sec time slips prove it.

 

I would love to see your maxima try to beat my Honda CRX

 

i thought this got closed? and stock for stock it would.

 

Saw a Supra get annihilated by a WS6 ... then brake boosted, and the tables were turned.

Don't listen to Demon boy ... he's a

But if you have nothing useful to say, then get the hell out of here, we really could care less about your CRboX.

 

Im not even gonna bother reading the other half of these replies....I mean, i'm not super smart about everything, but I know when to keep my mouth shut about stuff I don't know anything about....
If the STI was even half racing you, you would've been destroyed. You didn't win anything accept a championship belt in the sport of newb...
On another note, welcome to the forums and don't be discouraged when you get flamed for a pretty stupid comment, we all were there at some point... well..... some....

 

lol...i still cant believe people will lie about their race stories and think they are not gonna get FLAMMED big time ... the max is a quick and good handling car; for its league .... if you wanna talk about the wrx STI, this thing keeps up with corvettes and its all wheel drive!.....how in the world do you figure you beat him or took him in a turn.....unfortunately, the sti would kill a maxima in E V E R Y single category

 

I thought nitrous only works when the car is at high rpms. Not when they're low, doesn't the nitrous just build up in he chamber making it dangerous when the spark comes?

 

Who gives a ****, what does this have anything to do with helping him get off the line quicker?

 

nitrous is N02, when it gets to a certain temp. it breaks down so that there is two molecules: N2 and O2. more air is more power. that means that it is the same concept as turbo. so if its in the chamber it will become two compressable molecules. if its a "dry shot" or "wet shot" it is regulated by the ecu and will have the correct timing anyway.

 

 

my dad had a pocket rocket for 500 dollars. it was the biggest pos ever. i pity you.

 

slicks, ecu, ypipe, gut your interior, (and 5 speed conversion if you can)

 

You have much to learn ... N2O can be activated essentially whenver the operator wants it to be.

 

i have VQ35 AUTO and i raced sti from 10 15mph rollin to a light...., no AWD launch for him, and i floored it maybe half sec before him, and he did the same right after, and STILL put like 2.5-3cars on me by 70mph or so

let alone a deadstop! i have the video to, i might post it, i might not =)

 

buy a 5spd and practice, I'm in the process of that now......nuf said. ....

 

ROFL.....

 

all he had to do in a 10mph roll is to rev it up and drop the clutch and he'll shoot foward like he did at launch.

 

500 lbs of sheer NAWWWWSSS should do the trick! Or go buy a LS1 equipped car.

Also Garrick thanks for the laugh you just made my day on Maxima.org! Basic VQ killing a STi is like saying the ORG loves newbies.

There is a WRX around in my area that has a STi wing on it.

 

well.. if your willing to drop your trans, put in a new t/c then be my guest.. but dont come back cryin when somw kid with just a y pipe spanks you in a lite to lite race

 

Sure, but how is my information missinformed when it actually does help you off the line? A Y-pipe auto will be playing catch-up in the 1/4mile (I'm willing to bet its still behind by the 1/8mile mark) to a T/C-only auto.

 

because your trying to make yourself out to be smarter by hiding behind a technicality.. hes obviously looking for a pratical application, which your advice is not. who cares if your car is gonna "start moving" at a higher rpm cause of the stall speed, when 20 feet into it im passing you. you even said yourself " im not talking about anything after the launch ". last time i checked most people are racing for more than the first 40 feet. and the catch up your talking about will be a hell of alot sooner than you think cause the guy with the y-pipe is climbing through his enitre rpm range in every gear alot faster than you are, so your 500 rpm advantage off the line really didnt amount to much of anything. you make it out to sound like you'd be a car length ahead of me off the line when it would really be more like 4 feet, and me steadily passing you.

 

Where in the world would suggesting the obvious make me 'try' to sound smart. He never said anything about 'practical'

 

man the sti would kill a maxima (sorry to say), it depends

whats your car specs

 

Dropping your 60ft times with a higher stall TC (about .1-.2 seconds) is more than 4 feet as you say, especially when the car is already traveling at 30mph by the first 60feet. Have you stepped into a track and actually know how crucial the first 60ft are to your 1/8 and 1/4mile time? Its not just the extra 500rpm at launch, its the extra TQ multiplication a higher stall TQ converter will provide at launch as well as being 500rpm higher in the powerband through 1st gear. I'm not doubting the Y-pipe Maxima will walk pass it, but the guy is asking for extra pep off the line when going against other vehicles because he can make up for it in shear power and catch up to them.

 

tell you what guys.. tell the guy whatever you want.. ive only been doin this sh-t to the two 4th gen max's ive had for the last 8 years, so what the hell do i know..

 

no one is saying that a Y-pipe doesn't do anything, it just doesn't help off the line just the original question was asking. You'd think someone who had a 4th gen for 8 years would know that

 

I drive my Auto like a Stick.. Stop to first i chirp.. First to second i chirp, Once in a great while i chirp to third. 100k and running like a champ i'm still in love.

 

how the hell do you chirp 3rd going 70ish mph in an auto? lol O_O you can berly do that in a 5spd.

 

Was thinkin the samething. Maybe FI?

 

Don't be hating

 

Well someone is sure redlining his auto a lot then...Poor tranny...

 

let me add to the fire.

ok one day i was comming home from school, and there was this EVO, and the guy looked me in the eye, and i knew it was on, so he took off and i took off, the cai was soo powerful on my car that the front of my car lifted off the ground and did a crazy *** *****, and i ate the evo on a hairpin turn doing 70..



mad youngins on this thread.lol mad funny

 

OK

 

Chirp 3rd in an auto I can't even do that with 230 wheel ft/lbs in my 3.5L ..

 

haha. yea.......right.
cant even do that w/ my 5spd. i KNOW you cant w/ an auto.

 

Hilarious

 

you drive your auto like a stick....hhhm i hope you dont drive your stick like an auto



100kmiles? ha i give your tranny a couple of months

 

God....its like one moron after another. First the kid who thinks he can smoke sti's in his STOCK 95 max. Then this dip **** who can "chirp" in 3rd IN AN AUTO!!!

Lock this thread plz......

 

You're an idiot .. sorry.

Months or miles? More relative to this forum.. Mine is 10 years old and has 230k ...
