Wednesday I ran a 16.2, 16.1, and then a 16 flat in that order.


Its a 2000 Se Auto with 140k on it. All I have is an after market spectre filter attached directly to the maf sensor through use of an maf adapter.

Should I be running better times?

I launched at 2,100 rpms each time.

Brake all the way down, rev to 2000, light turns green, foot off the brake, pedal to the floor.

 

Where are you at and what were the weather conditions when you ran? Sounds about right though, I wouldn't say above average, as in better than average for your 'mods', depending on your elevation & weather conditions at the time of your run.

 

I see. I'll check them again, it was in lower New Jersey, about 60-70 degrees out at the time of the runs. I was also running 22 PSi upfront and 40 in the back with street sport tires. Their dunlop sport 22 things haha.

And btw I took the hood scoop off, it was a joke...

 

What were your trap speeds?

 

I didn't even think of that. In fact, post up the entire slip.

 

did you take the STI badge off also???, did you leave the car in drive??? because if so it sometimes shift early, try shifting yourself (it worked out better times for me in both 4th and 5th gens)....... only hope for auto

 

He ran it at Racewaypark Englishtown,NJ. His 60's were 2.5,2.5,2.48 or something like that. Track was prepped good. On the 1st run he was runing 40PSI upfront then on the second and third I dropped it to about 22. 1st run he also cruse thru the water box. There was about 2hrs cooling time between his 2nd and 3rd run. He didn't wanna do the DR-mod either. Yes he indeed took the hood scoop off or else he was going to track on his own. He did shifted manually but prolly moved the shifter up at around 5000. This kid is newbie and thinks he knows everything.

 

 

lol, well with my 2K it drags 1st-2nd so i would have to shift at like 5500 maybe 5700 but every other gear i hold til 6300

 

Ok yeah you should have done better than that. Keep practicing you'll get better.

 

sandeep shut the helllll up.

Yes I power shifted and shifted at red line in each. The tranny was just rebuilt so it shifts well.

 

below average may i say WAY BELOW

 

yeah if you redline everytime 16's is a bit below IMO need to get your car diagnosed to see if theres anything wrong with it

 

thats pretty ****ty

 

I can hardly even break traction from a stand still. I have to do a neutral drop to get anything.

 

pretty sure you should be in the 15s bracket but keep practicing you will get it....

 

good way to ruin your tranny, try power breaking at lower RPMs

 

okay heres the time slips

atrocious i know =[

 

i thinks u messed up w/ shifting or something cause your trap speed is lower then the 16.2
and you had about 2hr cooling time on that last run while 1st run you basically hot lapped since you been driving the car for like 2hrs cont. and then the car was on for another 45 mins in the inspection lane and it was colder when you mad the last pass.

 

I don't think I stretched out second gear enough, about 300 rpms too early.

 

KS Maybe? Sounds like you have a problem.. Unless you have like the car weighed down with subs and all kind of garbage.

 

The car is bone stock, no subs or nothin.

The catalytic converter is broken, would that effect performance?

 

The catalytic converter is broken, would that effect performance?

No sir

 

wow thats some low a$$ trap speed, stock my 4th gen was doing 89 90...... shyt i've even went to watch with chrome 20's on (20's on a 4th gen FTL i kno, i was a noob) then decided to mess around and ran 16.2 at 85 and 16.1 @ 87 with intake y-pipe and exhaust................ something dont seem right
EDIT: **** when i think about it my fastest trap with the 2K was 93 something (though it wasnt my fastest run) and my mods are listed in the sig, cant see whey there's that much difference in trap speed...

 

False, YES it can / will.

But first off, to the OP, explain, 'broken'.

 

2.5 60ft might be part of your problem

 

That w/ the A334AT dynamics =

Dynamics in this case = weight, DEK torque, horrid 4AT.


There are 6MT A33B's on here that do 2.4 - 2.5 60' and still manage a mid 14 sec pass.

 

You can't powershift an auto...

You manually shifted it......

 

Yes it will, if it's clogged it will hinder performance....

 

The code comes up all the time, I just have my mechanic clear it. He said not to worry about it until it starts to effect performance, I have a feeling it is. If it is would that cause me to run almost .5 tenths slower than what it should?

 

terrible times IMO cant believe you said ...above average...

 

above average implying worse than average...

 

kinda worst than average IMO

 

Which is actually BELOW average in the real world. Get that cat replaced as it sounds like it could be plugged up, if you weren't breaking loose from a standstill and were still only putting down 2.5 60's there is a definite power decrease somewhere. I ran horrid 2.5 60's the first time I ran my 02 at the track stock and still managed 15.0@95.

 

lowering the car can help in wheel spin also

 

yeah im planning on buying lowering springs soon.

 

yeah cause im intake and exhaust and about a second faster, that aint right

 

true. i also have 140k with a rebuilt tranny =/

i think my cat is clogged like stated above, its been turning up the code for almost a year or two now.

 

well at least you have a good tranny i dont, so we're in the same shoe (well im worst) GL, and just avoid neutral shifting, save yourself a tranny

 

Im a 5th gen 5spd but my 60fts wont get better than like 2.4 or 2.3 if i lower my psi in my front tires by how much should i lower them?
