Whats up guys, I installed a Stillen intake in my 02 6spd max today{as seen in thre thread below}. Initially I was not very happy with it because the best I did was 6.05 0-60 MPH. Then I went out today and filled the take up with gas and did someother stuff. When I got back home I decided to give the intake another chance since the ecu did not have enough time to learn the new mod earlier in the day. So as you can see by the subject title I did 0-60 in 5.76!~! . In the exact same conditions{32 degrees} as last night only thing different is I had a FULL tank of gas today and TWO extra large pizzas and a few punds of boxes in the trunk. So that means my car was packing a extra 150LB's and still shadered my best time of 5.99 last night!!!


If any one cares the intake did indeed make a noticable difference, the low end is better then ever and the top end screems! Rather then losing traction for a second on my 1-2 shift the car now spins the tires even more and the car gets a lot of wheel hop. With an empty take of gas this car will easaly do 0-60 in 5.6, with some sticky high performace tires it would be doing 5.5's 0-60 I bet.

 

can we stop the G-TECH please.. for the love of God

 

the lying about the HAI+Low end power increase!

 

wow thats impressing. wait till i get my Z we'll race
I m dreaming.

congrats,

Common sense always rules over that amazing device, but how many smiles has it brought to car owners over the years?

0-60 is just a number imho. For example, 6 year-old M3 with a 5.9 0-60 would outhandle the 2k2 Max in every way, shape, form, except GTech!

gotta run gf will be back any minute

 

*waving to Frank as the whip cracks softly across his back*

 

You know, I just read a article in euro tuner about the G-tech pro. They infact "praised" how accurate the G-tech pro is, the only time it is not acurate is because of user error{I KNOW how to use}. I have read from dozens of people who have been to the track with there G-Tech pro's and they always say they are within a few hundreths of each other.


Also euro tuner said the G-Tech is GREAT for seeing what a mod does to the car,"it's like having your own track". SO do me a favor and stop bashing the G-tech pro because one guy says it's off, most likely he's off.

 

every car enthusiast knows that G TECH is not accurate.. ugh.. nevermind.. keep thinking what you want..

 

For comparision sake heres what I got for my other cars in hte past.

98 I30T 5spd 0-60 in 5.44, Mods: Stillen Super Charger, 3.48 pulley, custom CAI, Stillen Aluminum Flywheel, ACT street plate, Stillen Y-Pipe, Stillen Cat-Back exhaust and all the supension parts.

95 5spd max 0-60 "best" 5.98, MOds: Stillen intake, PPC headers/Y-pipe, alumum flywheel, RT cat, UR UDP, Cat-Back exhaust and the usual supensionm mods.

98 I30T 5spd "stock", Best 0-60= 7.12. Really sounds like the G-tech is giving me better then real life times huh?

2002 6spd max "stock" best 5.96, definalty exagerating there to right? Thats real hard to believe huh?

 

 

It is very well known to be "Accurate" at comparing mods to one another. BTW do your self a favor and read the new euro tuner, maybe you will learn a thing or too..

 

Gtech is very very accurate.I have run my Chevy at the strip and it is right on!

 

Hell yeah, what do you none believers have to say about that? Or should I say "un-educated".

Also I ran my 6spd max atleast 10 times before the intake and it was always between 5.96 and 6.06.

 

send me your GTECH and ill test it out

 

When will I get it back .

 

after i try it too.

 

If you read your posts, you'll see the errors in your ways. You tested it at a track and it was very accurate... Hmmm, you are on a nearly perfect surface... Unless you have a 1/4 mile track in your back yard, you don't have a perfectly flat surface. Just because you bought some tires and got it for free doesn't make you luke skywalker. Get your head out of the clouds and firmly plant your Gtech praising, eurotuner trash on the ground. All those test are done on tracks (usually private) and lets also talk about endorsments. You can read in any "car & driver" magazine that american cars are the finest in the world.
Now take your car to a track and use some real equipment to gauge the real times on your car.
And since I'm going to definitely take heat over this post, lets also say that a Gtech time is as good as corrected 1/4 mile time... doesn't exsist unless you just want to make yourself feel good.

 

What ever dude, a smooth flat surface is basicaly a smooth flat surface, I did not test every freaken square inch of pavement. But I do know that the road is very smooth and flat, wheter it's perfectly flat or not it's still "flat". Just so you know, tracks are not perfectly flat and smooth either.. Another thing, I did not get my G-tech pro with a set of tires so you can keep your rued annoying remarks to your self . In the future I will keep every thing to myself, heck I don't think I will even post anymore threads here it's just not worth taking all the $hit for trying to tell people my good news..

 

You know what else? Welcome to my igonore list..

 

Oh no!!!!!
I'm on a list. Well I'm sorry that reality had to smack you so hard in the face. Perhapse you'll try to post you exciting news as
0-60 in 5.78sec (Gtech) Then you'll get your praise and we'll will go on with life.

 

Man wtf, I dont understand the Audacity of some people on the board to flame someone over if GTECH WORKS OR NOT. . the guy just posted his times, and it showed improvement. The 0-60 calcultion using the 1/4 time of 14.3 show around a time of 6 flat.. with an intake 5.7-5.8 isn't possible? Im not taking sides, but keep your wack a$$ statements to your self and stop flaming a guy for his happiness. Ethan, feel free to post whatever you want, dont let people stop you for what you post. I read a lot of your posts. Have a nice day,
Peace

 

Thanks bro

 

 

By the way, do the 0-60mph test the OTHER way. And see if your results are similar, then average the two.. that will give you a more realistic time..I think, correct me if im wrong.

 

Good idea.

 

Great time man. The G-tech has proven itself to me numerous times - including the track tonight. Gtech said 14.49@101 and I ran a 14.44@95. Everyone knows why the mph is different. The gtech, which recorded a higher e/t than the track did said that my automagic with intake did a 5.81 0-60. Believe what you want, I witnessed it. The gtech was never more than 1/10th of a second off.

Peace,
Daniel

 

Even more living proof . 14.44 is incredible! I hope you post a thread for that one.

 

He already has.

 

 

Ewok?

 

emax.....don't giva puck bout those people who is jealous of our 2k2, hahaha. great time you post there, hope my 2k2 se automagic will be not far off from it. by the way, how much did you pay for the gtech? if you don't mind sharing. thx

 

emax is just sharing with the rest of us the good news,

so why the hell some of you trying to start something?

Just for your information, while GTECH will never replace the need for a real track, there IS validity behind its functions and what it can do.

It is just an accelerometer. If you know how to use it, it is relatively accurate. While it may not be "absolutely" accurate, it is accurate in detecting the "relative" change in accleration from a referenced point. Measuring that reference point is where the GTECH is not 100%.

What this means is, GTech will always detect a CHANGE in accleration pretty accurately.

BOTTOM LINE: If you do a mod and if it works, GTECH will know.

I'm not too good with words, but if you have some intelligence, you wil know what I'm talking about.

Right, emax?



ps. The conditions have to be the same when testing. for example, the angle at which the GTECH is attached has to be the same, the roads have to be the same, and other factors need to be the same.

 

I don't have much faith in the device (Ethan knows this ). I've run both on and off the track and it always seems to read fast, especially 0-60. My track is extremely flat. I don't think there's anyway my 96 SE with y-pipe, B-pipe, and intake can run 5.9 0-60s (with extremely soft launches), but that's what it says. I've even gotten 5.5/5.6 when my tires would spin hard into 2nd gear or if I get hop off the launch. I think the spin somehow screws with the accelerometer. It also shows 14.4s@100mph when I was running 14.7@94mph. At the track, you get you 60', 330',1000', 1/8th mile & mph, 1/4 mile & mph. These are all very important pieces of data for which to use. The G-Tech doesn't give you anything, but 1/4 mile et and a wildly off mph (compared the the averaged time on the track).

IMO, take the racing to the track. Get the real numbers.

wow, nice times ethan. i don't want to get a HAI but i think i might have to get one now. click, order.

 

a lot of 2k2 owners have gotten good times with the HAI. Don't know about you, but im still not secure with the fact about cutting a hole in my car..

 

Muahahaha! Thats the best thing I have seen one here in a while lol. You crack em up man .


Thanks for being supportive guy's. I do not mine having frinedly discusion's like I have had with Dave B many times, it's when people put me down or insult me for no reason I get mad.

Dave, wheel hop is a very valid point in possibly off setting a G-tech time. Since the G-tech measures G-forces a wheel hoping and shaking of the car could certanly effect the times. I believe the G-tech is designed to measure forward motion though, so it may not really screw the times up mush? I will have to do some research on this topic. Wheels spinning out should not affect the times though because it does not really shake the car anymore then normal exceleration does.

what's HAI??

 

Hot air intake I think, it's just a nick name.

 

Ethan have you seen kevins smack down posts? With the rock?
