ok guys im weighing my options out here as far as cars go

if i get my dads 98 se auto max. i want a blower on it, pronto

what can be expected as far as 1/4 mile times go?
low 15's? high 14's?
lemmie see some numbers
BTW when and if i do get it, which i doubt
i would be ordering a y-pipe as well, maybe a b-pipe to go with it
who knows
lemmie know here

 

Get off our board.. you.. celica owner!! =P Umm If you're going with the auto maxima with blower. Get Don's valve body mod and a tranny cooler before getting the Y and stuff.. I think you can expect high 14s with those mods.

ah bite me nissan boy
doh i still have two max's in the garage spanky


eww high 14's that kinda sucks for dropping 3500 bucks

might as well get a 240, drop 3k and run low 13's
da well

 

if speed is what matters, maybe a MR2 turbo, those are going under 20k. if funds allows, SupraTT is obviously the ultimate speed machine.

 

insurance is the key factor right now man

wan't there someone on here selling a turbo miata a while back? or is that gone already
got me. i dunno

 

true true you have few accidents
yeah tetsuo was selling his turbo miata, indeed he sold the turbo and most of the parts a while back, now it's almost stock but still for sale.

 

Zumble:
I'm sorry but don't S/C'd mamxima's run A LOT faster than low 15's high 14's

Now i could be wrong but this is why i assumed this..
JimW had the fastest NA auto maxima.. and he ran 15.1

so your telling me an S/C would only take off .3-.4 off the 1/4 mile ?????

i was guessing low to mid 14's at least ?

I don't think that anyone with a S/C'ed auto has run at the track to know. I would expect mid 14's for a stocker. But if you run that kind of power, expect some tranny problems to be coming your way.
I still think that with an ECU and basic bolt-ons, you could get an NA auto into the mid 14's. Keep in mind, you will need some meaty rubber to stick.
My 15.1's were at 94-95 mph, with a 60' time of 2.5-2.6. Traction will become a problem for autos running low 15's.
My only power mods were Y-pipe, Popcharger and JWT ECU.

 

Well Bryan said no mods. Just the S/C. I think Mid 14s are optimistic. The definate answer in my opinion would be high 14s.

 

Bryan-

People are running a lot quicker than mid 14s with a S/C auto. With a y-pipe, B-pipe, RT cat, Don's VB, tires and S/C I don't see why low 14s/high 13s wouldn't be possible. Hell, you've seen me run high 14s @ 94mph spinning thru most of 1st. My car is pushing a lot less hp than a automatic S/C Max with the right mods. From what I hear, Don's VB makes a huge difference in the automagic.

Also, Alex KC and myself want someone to install a S/C in the KC area so we know how to do it.

Finally, you do know that there is a smaller pulley you can get for the S/C, right?

Get an 89-92 Mustang LX 5.0 notchback. You can get clean one's cheap and liability insurance is cheap because it's an LX, not a GT. Run low 14's outta the box. High 13's with a $190 set of gears. Oh, and if you look hard enough you can get the whole car for the same price as a blower for the max.

 

Eh, but you have a 5-speed. Without intake and exhaust I don't expect the S/C to do as well. So if Bryan were to say. CAI/Y-Pipe/RT-Cat/B-Pipe/VB. I would have said low 14s/13s. I still think a Maxima with just the blower and nothing else would only be able to run high 14s.. =)

Who says you can't daily drive a Mustang? Or make it look good?...this is just a matter of preference. Yes maintenence will be more frequent on a stang (stock for stock) but will be alot cheaper and easier. Plus with the stock exhaust they're not obnoxiously loud. I think he wants fast and cheap. The stang is a definate contender.

Well, I wasn't talking about building up a base model LX 4cyl into a V8. I meant buying a true LX 5.0. I can see where you're coming from with the EX, but I've never heard one bad comment about my modded max or about the Mustang I had. Yea the Mustang gives the impression of a kid that likes to do donuts and burnouts, but Bryan isn't exactly an old man and I'm sure most of us on this board would do burnouts given the opportunity. :-)

[I]I know you can make it a daily driver.. but you know .. when you start with an LX and work it up.. it gives off the bad impression of you if you know what I mean.. like you pull up at a club in a freshly modded EX or you pull up in a slammed SC'ed Maxima.. you know what I am driving at?

the stang kinda gives that bad impression..

and I don't think Bryan really wants that impression..[
