Supercharged Guys: People say i'm fast, but is what i'm doing cheating?
 

Well, I have made two new believers at my school that my car is the fastest at the school. Along with a guy who owns a Supercharged R/T Dakota, they were both :bowdown: to me. Here is what I will usually do when I take people on rides, or just want that extra "kick".

In the case of these people, I would start out in first from a roll and gun it. Towards the top of second, around 4800rpm, I would quickly let off the gas and jab it again real quick to further the sensation of the acceleration. The linear curve of the S/C makes it so you don't feel "thrown around" until the top of each gear, so I do this to give an extra sensation.

Does anyone else here do this? Sometimes if I dont, the acceleration gets boring. Blipping the throttle throws me back in my seat and reassures me that the HP is there.

Keep it mashed to the floor.... lift only to shift and toast the tires.

:o

Nope, I don't have that problem.. floor it in any gear and get pushed back into the seat :)

no one asked you, turbo boy :mad:

yeah you are cheating alot, :o thats why I got rid of my supercharger and moving on to other good things:nod: , even you will move on :hat: youll see

I betcha I could make that dakota faster than your car :p

:o Well according to him, I would own him hands down, easily. So I am happy. :)

Ouch! Maybe it's because I'm older and have broken more stuff, but that makes me cringe just thinking of your poor beast of burden being whipped like that. Don't be surprised if you end up with drivetrain problems, Craig. And if you do, we don't want hear how Nissan trannys suck.

:laugh:

Its a small price to pay to be the "fastest at the school", right Craigy?

Why don't you just race 'em?

Race him Craig and stop being a Fairy....

b/c he doesn't want to race me. And nissan trannies suck! ;)

no, nissan trannies don't suck. borg warner trannies suck! i ****ing hate borg warner for their ****ty quality trannies that they make. my input shaft bearing is gone again and i haven't even driving the thing in 7 months!!!

I don't know about the blipping of the throttle, but I want your S/C pic on the sig!!!!! :thumbsup:

:confused:

Don't be confused, it's a cool pic. I like it.

Oh, that. Ya. Courtesy of Jesus w/the E55 over at fuelslut.com

super charged maxima's that think they are fast are :007:

when you can beat E46 M3's and walk Z06's come talk to me..

:bowdown1: you are the lord :bowdown1:

I doubt he was talking about himself...

Chrome under the hood is :007:

he was talking about himself

Hey now.. we can't all rock the dirty look, some of us strive to be different :laugh:

that would be me ;)

Jase, if your ego was MPG's, I could travel to china and back 5 times on one tank.

:laugh:

but when I was supercharged I know I was fast :hat: 13.6 @ 106.89 almost trapping 107 oooh yeah I was fast!


and I cant wait to see you put on that eatons blower in under that hood

You could race jason with your Max, and beat him easily. He could even run 12psi and you would still beat him. His head would eventually get too big, pop, and the hot air discharged from it would blow up the car, and he would lose.

I'm hoping the eaton idea will go to the next level....

I cant run him since I dont have a blower how ever I do have a Nitrous kit with full bottle in my garage :king:

Beating Z06's????...:rofl::rofl: With less than 300WHP?? Any more??? I liked that one...:)

Maybe he upped the boost...but I still don't see it happening...Z06's do 0-60 in what, 4.2 seconds, and cover the 1/4th in mid 12's? Jason only walks Z06's in Jasonland, aka the best place ever, aka his head. :hat: :grinno:

at 6.5 psi and 3" exhaust i am well over 300whp..

i didn't race him from a stop, but i did however pull 2-3 cars from a 50mph roll to about 120..

you don't understand powerband do you? i guess with a linear supercharger it wouldn't make sense to you.. :hat:

Powerband shmowerband....the Z06 has 405hp with 6 gears to choose from....i'm sure he has a good selection to choose from from 50mph. They put down what, 350+whp? And they weigh about the same as a 4th gen Maxima....Anyways, if you took him by 2-3 cars then he either missed a gear, shifted into the wrong gear, started late, or maybe wasn't even racing you. :grinno: Anyways, i'm gonna call :bs: for now.

where does he have 350whp.. at what 7000 rpm? because i have near that at just a shade under that at 3000-4000 rpm.

and it's easy for me to know what gear he shifted to and if he is a decent driver because he told me when we stopped 5 minutes down the road... apparently he had heard of a "turbo maxima" killing people around here (i barely race anyone so i dont know how i got that rep).

throw your BS flag up though, it's not like i lose sleep at night knowing i didn't impress you. i'll leave that to the people that matter that have turbo's and know what the difference is in "shmowerband."

:soapbox: :bs: :bs: :bs:

Your 3.0L Family sedan shall NEVER beat a $50,000 sports car!

I agree....hanging with a Z06 maybe(not even that really)...but straight walking one, dunno about that.

:laugh: @ Powerband shmowerband

gotta love the supercharger owner's outlook, don't worry you are deprived child, i forgive you..

da-max do you even own a boosted car?

turbo 6.5 PSI your over 300whp :spit: ,


your the show guy? stick to just show and keep the ride very shiney and clean, you have all that sh1t in your car that weighs it down, you have a T3 turbine and no MEVI and you what? walked a Z06 and a M3 :bs: :bs:, you have Nitrous Express solenoids have they ever been broken into or they are just there for show? like a golden necklace or medallion around my neck, I got NAWZ I walk Z06's what a ricer

someone lock this thread down we have the biggest Bullsh1tters I have evern seen on this earth. I thought civics young kids were full of it, but this ricer because this is what he is just takes the cake.

why is that important?? :gotme:

but if you must know...I do not own one but I've helped build one...look up "turbo 3rd gen" or many of the threads in this SC/turbo forum, in the search, my name might pop up a few times you might learn a few things....I've also helped put together 2 junkyard turbo setups on a B16 and ZC DOHC CRX, and I'm currently putting something together for my Integra...but thats Honda stuff, we don't need to get into that. any more ?s :gotme:

do you have a turbo on your maxima? do you know what numbers I put down at what psi and what size exhaust? do you know what a 3" exhaust and each psi corresponding will add HP wise?

no the nitrous isn't hooked up, i think it's way too harsh on an engine, especially one that isn't built up for it. show or no show, how am i a ricer again?

and lastly, do you have a turbo on your maxima?

do you drive a 4th gen turbocharged maxima? does your car currently put out psi for psi the best numbers out there?

congrated on turbocharging honda's, what kind of numbers do these honda's put down?

turbo 3rd gens go woot woot..

Well I think some of yall dont seem to understand what the turbo can do at times. If you dont own one or drive one you will not fully understand how it really is powerful. The key here is Torque. Yes the Z06 is fast and has power, from a roll its fast, but a Turbo car can hang with it initially with the torque it can flat line across from 3000rpm.

And Im auto and Ive kept up with an E46 M3 that was racing like a madman on the hwy till I backed off due to this guys lack of respect for the road and other drivers. Wait till the 5spd goes in, im sure its going to be a whole new world.
