At least it's there for reference, as well as in the dyno forum sticky, not yours but representing the same stock curve.

 

00Vi yields a net loss in torque? You dont need torque for auto-x, just keep your rpms higher and it will most likely yield better results in the end anyways.

 

i meant MEVI loses the torque in the low end.....comming out of turns i dont shift back into first due to lack of LSD....so i would like to keep lower end torque for the hairpin turns instaed of shifting to 1st and smoking the inner tire

 

WTF... dude don't post anymore

 

(note sarcasm above)

If you have nothing good to say, dont say anything at all

lol

 

i just read this thread, n wow.... i just got a few question for you ethnic. If mods aren't going to get you any gains, then why mod??? BTW, ur intake most likely didn't give you any hp at all. If its a PR (place racing) then it might of given you a lil bit. VI = variable intake. and oh, the exhaust doesn't give you a lot of hp either, the y-pipe does. and if you want to talk about weight, i don't think you want to PUT weight in the car, i think you want to take weight off your car. If its a daily driver, i wouldn't suggest it. think about it, what is there to take out that you won't need?? floormats?? but then your car will get dirty. Spare?? what about a flat, i honestly don't know any weight reductions you can do without sacrificing something you need.

Why don't you need torque when you're auto crossing?? without torque, i don't think that your car will go anywhere. This is when you buy a car, you want a car that has their torque as close as possible to their hp.

 

Depsnds on what you want.

Rule of thumb, if your TQ is significantly HIGHER than the HP rating, it's a low revving engine. If the HP is significantly higher than the TQ reading, well then you guessed it, it's a high revving engine.

When I started modding my tq was higher, now my hp is.

but doesn't HP correspond with TQ, so how were able to get ur HP higher than ur TQ, because a Maxima has 190 HP and 205 TQ,

btw, since Maximas are low revving cars, how do u shift gears to gain maximum speed efficiency (RPM wise)

 

RPM dependent

HP = TQ*(RPM/5252)

In the 1/4 mile forum stickies.

 

There is also another saying, it goes "if you don't know what you are talking about, don't post." That is the one I like to live by and you might try it too. Just a suggestion.

 

yea.. umm everything i've ever read that Neal has had to say, which has been on countless topics, has been very intelligent and helpful.. as opposed to.. nothing i've ever read of yours.

 

I was saying that if he got a MEVI and the result was a loss of torque, all he had to do was keep the RPMs higher for best results, how is that dumb?

 

You said 00VI. He never said you were dumb, he's the most positive guy on here.

And re:'keeping revs high'. Depending on gear ratios, sometimes it's hard to keep revs high when auto crossing, especially in an auto.

 

You said 00vi not mevi. Keeping the RPMs up in autoX is easier said than done. Lets say you are going around a corner that you need to come out of at 35mph. You can either toast your 1st gear synchro by jamming your car into 1st gear at 35mph to "keep the RPMs up", the end result of which is the inability to get into 1st gear at all after a while unless the car is at a full stop (necessitating removal and total teardown of the transmission to fix), or you can keep it in 2nd gear, where you'll be at like 3300rpm. You want all the torque you can get in these cars for autoX for just these reasons. With MEVI you're going to be down about 20ft-lb of torque in a situation like this. That's bad.

You also said that having mevi in autoX would probably result in better times, which is false. Your times would end up worse in most autoX situations for the reason I just illustrated above.
