1.8T

Well if u guys dont believe me with the maxima maybe u will believe this. I raced a like 95 or 97 Eclipse GSX with an 18G Turbo. He said it ran 12.9 Which i believe! Cause i didnt have nos and he had only a car from second to third gear. But its a good video so anyone that wants to host it just let me know and i will send u the file.And buy the way look at the 02 got spanked thread again check out the video and u will notice a Khaki Visor not white!Any hosters?

I dont think anyone ever said your car was slow.. or wouldnt beat a stock max.. I think the point was that the max wasnt driven correctly, you would have still beaten it, just not as badly as those vids.

1.8T

Ok for those who are gettn mad from different list of mods. MY current mods are Upsolute CHip,Blue Rhino Autosport CAI,CUstom 3 inch turboback with dump,open dump,Poly Motor Mounts, Nos not installed currently, HKS SSQ BOV,007 DV. I dont see whats so hard to see? I take stock vettes,s2k,gs 430,stang gt or 5.0 why couldnt i take a maxima. And bring that maxima 2k2 with cai i dont think he will be within a car of me!

Seriously people is there anyone here around south florida with 2k2 6 spd with any mods?

1.8T

Why arent there more faster Maxima's out there? I mean cars that come fast stock normally can go alot faster! I havent seen more than 1 or 2 fast maximas in here. On everyones signatures im seeing 14's which isnt so great for mods if car comes stock 14's? So whats the deal is it hard to hook up a maxima?

Anuj

no one doubts you take STOCK maximas. Look how many mods you have, it's like saying a modded camaro can take a stock vette.

there are more than 1 or 2 fast maxima's here. Most of them aren't inclined to argue anything about it, so you wont see them in this thread. They post dynos and timeslips and thats about the extent of it.

There isnt much aftermarket support, so anyone who has a fast maxima has spent *alot* and were pretty much on their own to get it done and work out the kinks.

Why dont I see faster V6 Passats? That would be more relative to a maxima.

Anuj

tim, all of the maximas are fast from the FACTORY unlike some cars...

so many people off this board get pis*ed when another car (modded or not) beats their own. I hope no one starts a thread "a ferrari beat me" because some people will be like "so what, it only has 2 seats"

What kind of upgrade turbo do you have?I had Eclipse GST with 20g turbo before.

iTrader: (6)

stock maximas are quick.. not fast.. MAX+SC or Turbo is fast.

And most mfgs are coming out with some pretty damn quick cars these days. So, as far as speed goes, we arent going to be *that* special. Still a killer value, quick near lux.. but....

I did a little exhaust work and got a 13.8.. Leave your slicks at home and you would not beat me by much at all, hell I might even out drive you .

You do realize you've got the advantage of turbo power and the modification ability of the system as a whole, right? It's very normal to see 02+ (autos and 6 speeds) Maximas running mid to low 14s with just an intake and some exhaust work, sometimes less. What's it take to get a 1.8T into the mid to low 14s? Even our most avid drag racers in the Org aren't that "serious" about all out ETs. Very few of us run drag tires or rims. Most of us know that the 1/4 mile is all about traction off the line. Add a good drag suspension and tiny slicks and wheels and you'll cut some mean 60 foots and ETs. What I have to say here is LOOK AT OUR TRAP SPEEDS. That in there lies the turth about power. When you've got a car that's running 96mph-102mph in 1/4 mile naturally aspirated, that says a lot about that little 3.0-3.5 V6 pumping under the hood. I know for a fact that it takes quite a bit of money to get a 1.8T to consistently break 100mph traps. We have plenty of guys in here running 13s and some are even in the 12s. NOS and superchargers are great little toys.

Please scroll thru this list and then come back:

If he wants to run modded max vs modded A4, I would be more than happy to run with him..











...but we don't have to because we already know the result..

I have no doubt that a well modded turbo 1.8 jetta could spank a stock auto max, but racing with Kev or turbo97( not sure about the exact name ) would be a totally different story, a S/C'd max can run low 13 and a turbo'd max can run mid to low 12. I think if you race one of them it will be a different story.

Ok well ur talking about putting aftermarket parts like turbo's and super chargers. If that supercharged one runs low 13's ill be stickin with him but that turbo one i dont think so unless i spray. But still i am running a stock k03 Turbo. So its not like i am running on a t/3 t/4. To me it would be more of a fair race if it was bolt ons like exhaust intake etc.. Cause im sure the turbo that would be on the maxima would outsize my stock one by about 3 times! But anywaze ill still run it i can admit to loosing after all i have done it before sometimes by alot sometimes by a little but normally i dont race a 11 sec car if i have a 13 sec. I try to keep it a close race. So if low 13's is that s/c one then ill race it but the turbo i dont know. I would rather race a car that has bolt ons like me. A turbo can add as low of 40 hp thats a lot of hp! thats about the least amount of power u can recieve from a turbo.

Ok, does anyone really care what this non-Maxima owner runs because I don't? I could care less about your car and what you have done.

Why you guys stop so soon each time?

BugNout

How is this Maxima related at all? A Jetta getting pulled on by a Talon? Like video so much how about a video of his 12second run?

I saw that other video of him racing a stock Maxima (have no idea if it really was a maxima let alone year) but whatever car it was it did not have an intake. Plus an extra passanger (camera guy) and the jetta has all sorts of mods and didn't pull away that quick.

Seriously dude post up a video of your track runs or at least against a modded Max (to keep maxima related).

MAX2000JP

Do you have any actual timeslips cause I was looking at some VW boards and guys with your mods are running high 13s, which wont take C5s buddy.

BugNout

Sounds like bpu NA 2k2 MAX 6spd times.
A C5? Hahaha would like to see that video too! That is hillarious!

Kojiro_FtT

Boost. Your car came with it, ours didn't. We have to spend a bunch to add boost. You spend $10 on a mechanical boost controller and shave a whole second off your ET. That's the difference.

sublimekma

well, i just can't hold it in any longer. this is my first post because i generally like to read the forum and gain knowledge, so i don't really put up my own posts. well this guy really did it for me. i couldn't keep reading this non sense without saying something. how can you even COMPARE a 2k2 max with a jetta. yes i d/led the video and no i am not impressed. first of all jetta's are the 3rd slowest cars on the face of the earth next to passats and beatles, stock. i do know that there are some pretty nice stage 3 turbo's and what not being offered for the 1.8t engines, but are u seriously saying that the comparison is even in exhistance and much less in the jetta's favor. stock for stock a maxima would embarrass the jetta.

and as a side note, there are people on this forum running low 14's with the 2k2. ANYWAYS, i also take into consideration you are not stock, so let me put it this way. if those are the only mods you have, and you're running a stock k03,and running as fast as you say, then prepare to have your engine die/blow-up/smoke/burn/melt any day/hour/minute now. what are u running? like 31 pounds per square inch? if you are running stock boost,which clearly you are not, then NO YOU DONT STAND A CHANCE VS A 2K2, and prolly not a 4th gen stick either. i can't believe i am the only one who found this post as goofy as at is. i can give you props however on beating those beastly pasat's and beatles though... 13's lmao...

mpc578

All that needs to be said is this..I have owned a 1.8 T, and even with mods, my current 2k2 max will smoke this thing..I mean you have to compare apples to apples..if you want to run stock vs. stock, max should win unless driver sucks..and my modded max will blow out this 1.8, and I would lay money on emax's all motor 2k2 against this thing..final words..since he lives in Fla., and we (emax and I) are in Northeast we will never race, so it is a moot point. but I know I could run him into the ground

that new video is even more of a bigger joke.

Dohcser

1.8T your car is relatively quick for a VW, however what did you expect when you came to a Maxima forum, basically trying to say your car is better than ours. Like it has been said before, do a stock to stock comparison and we WILL hand you your ***. I think your races would be great on the VW 1.8T forum.

Congratulations! You're a F A G! Beating Vettes eh? Well my dad can beat up your dad... Well, you know what also isn't so great, your cars engine will can fail at ANY time... Before i ever buy a VW trash, i'd save the money and buy an old Tsi, mod it and spank you silly... Those 2 cars are in the same boat, but the Tsi would own you for MUCH less...

I could care less how fast you run. There are 12 sec Civics too, and I would rather walk than ride in them. Look at what we drive, and put your car next to it. That's a car school girls drive. Not a bad A$$ sedan !

you do realize that you just proved how NOT FAST your car is. Getting beat by a 12.9 AWD DSM is like getting beat by a 13.5 two wheel drive car, and the fact that you got pulled that hard...makes it even funnier.

You have to realize that 12.9 DSMs only trap around 101-102mph in the 1/4...it's their sick 1.7 60's that net them amazing E.T.s

So if you got pulled that much by a car that probably traps just over 100mph...my BOLT-ON 97mph maxima should keep up with you pretty well.

No way in hell that you are going to keep up with a boosted max.

vito1281

I just got beat by a 2003 Enzo Ferrari. He had me by like 50 car lengths. I don't understand this. I thought the Max was unstoppable. Can anyone tell me what I can do to beat the Enzo? If I remove the HIDs, will the lowered weight help out? Or if I take out the 6 disk CD changer, can that also help? Thanks.
