For those with 2G non turbos!!!

[GSGoinFast]

Your car seems like it would be pretty quick for a n/t. Thats still a bold statement. A lightly modded awd turbo yields a whole second drop in the quarter though.

ok then lets just say fwd only, keeping drivetrain even.

MiamiEclipse - thanks for setting Chuckdog straight, that would be sad if a n/t eclipse was one of the fastest cars in town, that would probably mean I would have to live in a population 10 redneck town or something.
Also thanks for posting that list, helps out alot with some ideas.

i know this was posted really early in the post, but casper, wy has like the population of a small african tribe =D

Dont listen too all of them. On my 97 eclipse n/t, i had a cai and 2.5 cat back, and ran a 15.6 at 88 mph. ask senseiturtle if you dont believe me. It's not that hard to do. Learning to launch is the key.

ok thats pushing the envelope a little bit there. i will have to see a time slip for that. especially when there are guys on 2gnt with everything imaginable done and they have run a 15.2, and that was the best time yet.

Actually, there is some truth to what he's claiming. I can't vouch for the claim itself, but I can tell you that the guy who was pulling down the 15.2 had a nearly stock car. Todd has been callled a machine due to his super consistent launches. The current fastest 2GNT time is a 15 flat by a guy named Daniel who posts from time to time at 2GNT and he made his 15.0 ET at the DSM SO this year. (The silver RS with the tiny slicks up front if you were there.) Daniel has done nearly everything to his car that I've done to mine, it's just that he hasn't blown his up like I did. So I guess this goes to say that a skilled wheel man should be able to coax more out of his mods than most people. Of course, when it comes to all motor 2GNTs, getting that next 0.3sec takes quite a bit...

wasnt the 15.2 from the guy who posted his dyno number and was at 159whp? if i remember correctly he had a pretty extensive mod list.

Doh! You're right! That was Daniel! I did some searching at 2GNT and found the thread where he posted his dyno results and then later shared his first time out with us. Todd was running 15.3xx ETs. So Daniel broke that one and then went and broke another. But he also has some serious slicks for that car. (He talks about them in the thread.) Even so, Todd's 15.3 ET was still set with a mostly stock car. I mean, I don't even think he had replaced any internals when he set that time. He's very focused and methodical in his building. He'll do one mod, test it, evaluate it, and get it all dialed in to his liking before doing another. These days, he's sponsored by Exile Racing Technologies and should be setting some serious times come spring when the car is done.

What I think is really funny is how optimistic I was back in those days. Man. You'd think I had the fastest car around. . She's not done yet, and I'll be sure to track her out before I boost her this winter to see what she can do all motor. I still love the challenge of all motor, but I also want to get out there and demonstrate what can be done with a 2GNT.

About a 60,000 population African tribe, maybe. It's pretty big, but small enough that I know where just about every single DSM resides, and who drives it.

No ####ing way....With a cold-air intake and a 2.5" Cat-Back I not only want to see some Slips but a video to prove it ...

I dont see any possible way that a n/t w/ ONLY a cai and a 2.5" Cat-Back as you have mentioned will run a 15.6.....I don't think you understand how impossible it is - What you are saying is a 2700-2900lb (depending on the model of your n/t) With only a cai and a cat-back is running 15.6...maybe it said 16.6 and you just need some glasses.

It is as impossible as telling me that a 5 foot 300lb girl will run a mile in 4 minutes...I DONT SEE IT HAPPENING....Your telling me that your car w/ a cai & cat-back will hang with a stock (poor launched) 4g63.

By the way if you haven't notice i call bs on your time until you prove it.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO READ THE RULEBOOK WHERE IT SAYS PASSING ON MISINFORMATION WILL RESULT IN SOME SORT OF PUNISHMENT..... 15.6 w/ cai & cat-back :laugh: i think that made my day

 

[Danny_305]

gosh miami ur so mean poor kid wants to run 15.6 like i run 15.9

see, mike, theres a thing called driving skill. it can improve times greatly. and while, because you drive an automatic, you have no grasp or concept of this, it can make you considerably faster.

hey i think its possible, DR1665 said someone with a nearly stock car ran a 15.3 cuz hes such a good driver.

Chris i wouldn't be so talkative if i were you come down to Miami and we will see who wins of a roll buddy

And that whole post i had before i was talking about 5sp, i would rag on you if you claimed that time w/ a 5sp or automatic if you only had a cai & cat-back either way not happening buddy.

He could be ####ing superman and have a lightning hand w/ Hokimoto style launch and Mr. Japan shifts there is no way he is gonna run a 15.6 w/ cai & cat-back.

EDIT: Chris btw i do have a 5sp laying in my room waiting to be put in as soon as need be...either way i will smoke jjuuuuuuu

whatever your on, ill take 2

Neither am i ....

I'll even give you the good old purge salute as i pass you :laugh:

And im not on anything.....at the momnt.........Na i'm just kidding i wouldn't do anything like that for reasons i'd rather not get into right now.....

Back to the 15.6 second 1/4 w/ cai & cat back....Jeez

PS Tell me you didnt laugh at the "He could be ####ing superman and have a lightning hand w/ Hokimoto style launch and Mr. Japan shifts there is no way he is gonna run a 15.6 w/ cai & cat-back."

is that purge salute as you pass during a ricer flyby after i slowed down to make fun of you? i think you would loose all nitrous pressure with a purge while you pass manuver like that.

ehh i think its possible. you gotta believe man, you gotta believe

 

[SBstar]

tear off your belt turning your a/c and power steering then add a CAI and a cheapo exhaust off ebay and an AFX up. My Gtech said 15.8 as my best but mostly I run about 16.2. But I'd do about 16 or 15.9 if my clutch wasn't starting to go. My turbo kit is coming...

 

[dsmrunnah95]

Best I could run when I went to the track was a 16.3 with open intake, lowered tire pressure up front, and a new stock replacement clutch.

 

[miamieclipse]

tear off your belt turning your a/c and power steering then add a CAI and a cheapo exhaust off ebay and an AFX up. My Gtech said 15.8 as my best but mostly I run about 16.2. But I'd do about 16 or 15.9 if my clutch wasn't starting to go. My turbo kit is coming...

See thats w/out ac & power steering & adding a udp...........and that was a 15.8 on a gtech i dont see it being possible...I love this car don't get me wrong I love the 420a to death but it has its limits, it wont run a 15.6 w/ cai & cat back it WILL do it with more mods tho...

 

[dr1665]

DR1665 said someone with a nearly stock car ran a 15.3 cuz hes such a good driver.

Well, Todd's car wasn't completely stock, but I found his mods at the time of his 15.35. In his own words...

My mods that I had when I ran the 15.35 run:

GS-T muffler, high flow cat, brospeed header, Iceman CAI, Extrude honed intake manifold, AFX UDP, SAFC, AEM cam gears.

As for now, I have Crane #10 cams, but no faster times yet with them (It's hot out now, wait a month or two and I might see faster times).

Badass driver? Eh, I do Ok.

Factory Freak? I'd disagree. I don't think my engine is special in any way. I started off running mid 16s with my car when I first drag raced, with almost no mods. If it was a freak,I would have hit 15.9s from the start.

You just have to know how to launch it, what mods to do, and what mods NOT to do. I attribute the good 1/4 mile times to running on the right day, a good launch and the right mods, not to "he got a lucky engine". I think any properly running and properly driven NT, with the right mods, can do the same.

...

I'm not far from 14s, when I get there everyone will know

"Le cose non vanno mai come credi."

 

[miamieclipse]

his mod list was still bigger than a cai & cat-back

just admit it mike, you were pretty much owned there.

i didnt read this...i got aabout 5 posts down and got pissed off...some of you guys need to think before you answer...her car is is her profile...oh and LOOK, its right under her name too, wow, what a concept...ok ill go back and read the rest....

 

[spooner_dee]

i run low 13's on my n/a a/t........




Not really i just wanted to post some numbers and sound important and make people say WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?

Everyone is getting so upset over this... just breathe and drive thats all that matters.

THe ignorance by some is astounding.

 

[dr1665]

For every retarded NT owner who claims some bullshit numbers on here, there are 10 on the street who don't. Just as, for every 4g63 owner there is on here that looks down his nose at us 420a owners, there are 10 of his friends with cars up on jackstands who stand around and laugh along with him about how "slow and pointless" 2GNTs are. I love being a DSMer.

I used to let this sort of rivalry piss me off, but now it's like a sign that everything's okay. You can't have a DSM community without the original sport compact civil war, now can you?
