What kinda Mods would you guys say would make a 95' Auto Se run a 15 in the quarter?

 

nothing

 

man you asked for it asking somthing like this
good luck

 

Sorry the VQ isnt a little 4 banger were pulling 15's with our eyes shut

 

Well I wanna know cuase I'm wondering what my Greddy Cat back will do for me, I mean just a Greddy Cat back on a 95 Auto Se will it run 15, I mean like 15 flat or High 14 even. what would be involved in just gettin in that area within a tenth either way?

 

No--with just exhaust, you're looking at mid 15's tops. An auto will do no better, unless the track is slightly downhill or way below sea level. Get an intake, y-pipe, VB mod, and you should be good for about 15 flat...cracking 14's consistently will require an ECU mod, UDP, flywheel, etc...in an automatic, at least. I know numbers vary from track to track and car to car, but in general, a stock 5-speed is good for low 15's and an auto high 15's.

 

Greddy's more for looks, why dont you get some REAL performance before your plop down 500 bucks for something like that.

Sugestions:
-Y pipe (WSP prefered)
-CAI Sounds sweet, and helps alot with y-pipe

 

I saw a '97 SE Auto (stock) run a 15.5 just a few weeks ago...

 

I have a 95 GXE Auto.

I ran 15.2 @ 89.1mph.

My only mod is OSCAI with a K&N panel filter.

 

conclusion: Auto is slower



wait...I have an auto!

 

Does the Greddy Exhuast not flow good or what? Why isn't it as good as others? I mean for right now I'm going w/ Greddy Cat-Back, then prolly HKS Intake or Intake of some type then I save for rims and tyres and go back to the exhuast w/ a Y-Pipe and performance Cat what would A set-up like this run w/ a 95 Auto SE at a track like Bandimere(HIGH ALTITUDE) And don't forget to tell me why Greddy isn't a good exhaust, or is just overpriced but still performs well.

 

You misunderstood him. The Greddy performs as well as any other catback exhaust, but in the case of the maxima, ANY catback exhaust gives minimal gains. For less money, you will see THREE TIMES AS MUCH HP GAIN by getting a Y pipe as opposed to the catback. Think of it this way, you can pay $500 for a catback and get 6 hp and 100 for an intake for another 5 hp, or you can pay $300 at MOST for a Ypipe and get 15-20 hp... which would you choose? Y pipe is the mod to get, not the catback, if you are looking for performance gains.

At bandimere, your car will never run 15s N/A, that's just a fact. Bandimere is typically 1.0-1.5 seconds slower than a track at say 500 feet above sea level. At sea level, a stock auto will run approximately 15.5, give or take a few tenths. Tack on an extra 1.0-1.5 seconds and you are looking at 16.5-17.0, give or take a few tenths. I'd be very surprised if any NA auto 4th gen ever touches 15.999 at bandimere, the chances are almost non-existent.

 

Altitude does play a big role.

Thats a big part of why my times were so good. Montgomery Motorsports Park, where I run, is only 170 feet above sea level. That's pretty much on the beach compared to most tracks.

 

Hmm, I don't know the altitude in Crofton, MD Capitol Raceway, but a ton of us DC Auto Maximas are pulling low 15's (Ahem). Never heard of Bandimere, sounds like a high-altitude track for Maximas to not hit anywhere in the 15's. With a y-pipe and an intake your bound to hit low 15's if your shifting your auto right, but I can only speak for one of our DC tracks, can't speak of this Bandimere.

 

I thought the best way to race an auto was to just leave it in D?

 

That's what I thought as well, until my second time at the track with the same setup as my first but chose to shift it manually, and I was able to knock off 2.6 tenths of second off my 1/4. Ask of any auto DC Maxima driver on the board such as DCmax who saw my results of a 15.2 and decided to take the same route shifting and now hit a 15.1 on a bad track where everyone was doing 3 tenths of a second slower than normal which makes us think he could have been in the high 14's. Jay-Pee, Cashj2002, and Maximillion ar all autos that run low to mid 15's here in MD. Trust us, it is worth moving the shifter instead of leaving it in D, I learned my lesson.

 

you guys just wish you had a 5-speed

 

I ran 15.267 in my 95 auto with a PR CAI (hybrid style) only.

 

I think most of the guys here who manually shift their autos don't have a VB upgrade. I manually shifted the first time I went to the track when I didn't have the VB yet. A few weeks ago, when I went to the track again, I decided to test out by put manually shifting and leaving in Drive with the VB mod to see any difference. No difference whatsoever. Actually I was in few tenths slower with manually shifting than leaving in Drive with the VB.

 

Hm...time slip?

 

Please you should know by now I'm not a BSer.

I didnt know greddy was just for looks!
what type of comment was that, Greddy comes with Stainless Steel Pan (exhaust itself), B pipe and Cattback pipe thats the reason why it cost so much. A stillen Pan cost what $249 somewhere around there and it will get rusty too!! Get a whole exhaust system and Greddy is not for the looks other then that I would have never purchased one. Get yourself a Ypipe and a CAI that should put you in the low 15's.

 

Yea, we're not so lucky.

 

I have a time slip for my 15.265, but that's with a HAI and y-pipe.

Yea, we don't have a VB upgrade yet, but we can honestly say that it works if you move the shifter at the right time. Next time, try shifting so the needle drops from 6600 rpms, and if that doesn't improve your time, then I don't know what to tell ya.

 

You can also **** your time up by shifting an auto. In my experience with auto's (which isn't much, about three weeks with this car now - my first auto ) it's easy to slip past 2 into neutral, which is obviously bad. If you do it right you can probably hope to shave off a tenth, if that.

 

Interesting. When I manually shifted, I shifted at 6000 rpms. Maybe I shifted too early? Hm...


It just suck that with my mods I couldn't even get into the low 15s. I even thought I had a chance to get high 14s...lol. I recently changed out my fuel filter, knock sensor, and got my tranny fluid flushed/refilled. I'll see if any of those factor make a difference the next time I head out to the track.

 

...SHifted 1-2, then at 2-D I was so souped I pushed it to hard into nuetral....vrooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmm.....s moke....smoke... I can laugh now because I didnt fry anything. Still ran a 15.8.

 

If you are runnin at bandimere and you are an auto, you will be in the low 17's trust me, I ran a 16.8 with CAI, y-pipe, rt-cat, greddy sp cat back, that was my first time with crappy track conditions, and i am an auto too. I was runnin heavy as$ 17" rims though and really bad 60' times, so I am pretty sure that i can hit mid 16's with smaller/lighter tires and a better launch. Go check you the west cost forum about our bandimere meet, 2 auto max's ran and 2 5-speeds. The 5-speeds where mid 16's

 

yeh dont f with the overdrive it will kill your tranny
