VT SPEC V on 460...

[JKim]

Nice car u got.

intake/exhaust is what i heard
suspension too.

1 second...i got a good glimpse of ur rear licsense plate. 2 seconds...i got a good glimpse of the front of ur car in my rear view mirror.


Cheers

[Victum]

wutt?

[VT SpecV]

Yeah I get some suprised looks sometimes, when they see a Sentra walk them in a race. :-) But a header and springs are being ordered tomorrow night. And my rims will be installed by the end of the week. But so far you are the fastest WRX I've "raced". I've raced a couple totally stock ones from 45-120 neither could catch me. IM me sometime (jewbu05), have you thought of joining the VT Car Club? Let me know man. I think there are a couple guys u'd want to talk to.

[Jeff Taylor]

FutureProspect - have you ever raced a multicolored 240sx on 460? I ran a blue wrx out there once before, it had 4 guys in the car.

I was definatly impressed and suprised. never ran into a spec v before...and i must say they can hold their own.

Geez Brian, you never give up do you? :p

Man there are still fresh wounds on your wrists where the handcuffs were last week haha, and you're out racing again!!

givem' hell

[blackFa5]

hey vt didnt you get a reckless for like 88 in a 35 or something? how did that end up?

[VT SpecV]

Yeah I'm the one that got a 86 in a 35, I went to court last week with my lawyer, and we made a plea bargain with the DA. Results were, $500 fine, reduced the reckless ticket to improper driving, and I have to go to a driver improvement class. So I was very pleased considering what could've happened (jail time, losing my license, etc.) Now, on to Weavil and Eli's comments on me still "racing" on the streets. In all reality I will never stop street racing, BUT I will calm down on the amount that I do it. I used to go out every night and see if I could fine someone to run, but in light of my recent court date that has all changed now. Yes, I got on it a little with FutureProspect but we really didn't race, it was more of.....a sharp acceleration. hehehe Trust me I have learned my lesson with all of this, but as I said before, I'll never stop, I just realized that there are certain times to drop the hammer and times when not too. But back to the street racing comment...anyone up for a run?......hehehe JK!!!!

[blackFa5]

ill take you up on your challenge if ur ever in the va beach area. I have a 5 speed ser, with very minor mods. you should take me i just wanna see where i am.

oh and i got an 89 in a 35 and an evade and elude in august, i got off both charges and just got a 500$ fine.

my lawyer kicked ass.

edit:

u prob dont remember me but we met at dinwiddie in november or so.

Let's go! haha, I don't have to go to court till Wednesday :D

There should be a grandfather clause applied to street racing, after they bust you once, you can't be convicted of it again, haha

[Rguy]

"In all reality I will never stop street racing"

You deserve every punishment you have ever gotten and will get.

[Jeff Taylor]

hypocrite.

[VT SpecV]

Hey look, I race at the track too, but in REALITY u can't always go to the track now can we? So why don't u keep your ideals to yourself, when u wanna run sometime let me know, I'll be there and u'll still pussy out.

[Rguy]

YES u can! Be a man and learn to back off from a race. Show you have bigger balls than the guy wants to waste gas on a race that wont prove shit to either of you. Ill run you as soon as the LEGAL drag strips open up...

Rguy, who will run anything with a truck engine and wont pussy out... ;)

[VT SpecV]

Ok, u want it, u got it, u better have something more than just a POS Type R ass. I'll see you at a track, be ready to get walked behind me with a leash.

what truck engine?

[Rguy]

The new Se-R engine y0!

[parknasty]

Be a man? I think he is being a man because of the fact that he admits he does or has street raced before. He's not complaining about his ticket or bitching that he got caught. From his post I got the impression that he chose to run on the street, and he's willing to, and did, accept the consequences. That may not be the most ethical or best decision to make, but as far as being a man about it I think he was. It's called being accountable for your actions, and I think he's done that.


BTW- You sure are promising a lot of drag strip runs for this spring to a lot of people. I hope your mouth isn't writing checks that overrated 1.8 liter can't cash, heh heh. Seriously though, I'm lookin forward to some good friendly competition at the track this spring, see you there man.

[VT SpecV]

TRUCK ENGINE?? WHAT? i wouldn't be talking, Honda doesn't exactly have any torque in any of there engines, and to even get what they do have u need to rev to 8000 rpm. Hmm, what a concept, low end torque?

"From his post I got the impression that he chose to run on the street, and he's willing to, and did, accept the consequences"

Even death?

"I hope your mouth isn't writing checks that overrated 1.8 liter can't cash, heh heh."

Oh im not! Ive only challenged you and Vtspec-V. Both of whom im not worried about ;)

[VT SpecV]

God you are psycho! I could die any minute, it kinda comes with the part of being born. Oh and both Parker and I will be waiting for you don't you worry about that, oh wait, u might not show up b/c u might randomly die along the way, sorry. That little Type RRRRRR better have something other than a Super AFC/ and basic bolt ons my idiotic friend. B/c u better be ready to realize that that Type R won't be doing anything but cleaning our tail lights while going down the track.

[Rguy]

hahahahaahha. Oh my, watch that 6,500 RPM redline while my little 1.8 litre runs u down...by the way, are you down for 13's? ;)

[rhombus]

"by the way, are you down for 13's? "

Im am, I extend myself to your now open challenge. Long live the truck motor

Eric

[parknasty]

13's? as in 13 second 1/4 mile runs? I'm sorry, I don't always catch onto sarcasm right off the bat, so lemme know if you're joking.
Are you bench racing that yellow bee again or do you have some slips in that extremely broad time slot of "13's" you're claiming?? Or wait, I know, you're using JDM specs, and there's conversion factor for Japanese seconds to American seconds that you forgot to factor in right? 13's- Yeah, you just keep tuggin your cord while you have that wet dream pal. See you springtime!

[Rguy]

I have no doubt, none at all, that i will break into the 13's on street tires. No JDM specs, no pulling cords. Springtime it is :)

[rhombus]

The only way he is getting into the 13s with that car is if he swaps a B16a into it. HA

By the way, are you down for S 13s??? heh heh

[Rguy]

You're blown. Doesnt count ;)

[rhombus]

You may want to step down off that high horse now, so you dont have so far to fall, cause you are full of it.

Type-Rs are over-rated

[Rguy]

Oh yeah, if you think a modded ITR cant get into the 13's then you havent studied up on ur ITR's. My friends 97 R, stock, broke a 14.1 in 1998 (i have the timeslip). So a modded ITR, with a more aggresive intake cam, mods, stickier tires and lighter wheels should not have a problem.

EDIT: "Type-Rs are over-rated"

i agree.

[parknasty]

I have no doubt, none at all, that regardless of whether or not you run a 13 sec timeslip that I'll be at the end of the track before you. Heads up, 1/4 mile, your car vs my car. Bring to the table what you've got come springtime.

[parknasty]

BTW, how does his car "not count" because its turboed? I thought turbos were bad engineering. Surely if that be the case good would triumph over evil and you'd win right??

[Rguy]

haham Parknasty, if you beat me, or i beat you. I want to take you out and pay for your beer either way. You sir, fucking rock.

[Rguy]

"I thought turbos were bad engineering."

ive since changed my mind, and will be turboing my car this summer :) Everyone makes mistakes.

[rhombus]

OK OK, I will lay off a bit. But tell me this, if you are so sure that you are in the 13s then why does it matter if my car is boosted? Name some cars that are faster then yours.

If you are able to get into the 13s, then more power to you, I will give you credit cause I honestly dont see it happening.

What is the fastest time you have run to date? Have you made it into the 14s yet?
Just keep it honest cause there is more to racing then what is done on the bench.

Eric
S13

[Rguy]

You should know what any boosted B series motor is capable of. if you're boosted then thats cool, ill run you. but losing wont be any surprise to me.

"Have you made it into the 14s yet?"

My first time at a drag strip, not knowing what a yellow or green light, or a staging light was, i pulled a 14.7.

[Victum]

i wanna do some runs and see what i get, IMO im a bad driver :) i would prob be slow

[rhombus]

I have seen some fast boosted B series engines. But I have to say that your particular B series engine is not the most ideal to boost. You have high compression, a thicker head gasket will distort your quench along with lowering your CR. You would be better off swapping a H22 or a LS and turboing one of them. And I am sure that your cams arent going to have turbo friendly overlap....

I wonder why MugenT3/T4 dropped his turbo Type-R like it was hot. He could have stuck with a NA type-r and would have been alot better then with a new SI.

Type-Rs have their place as cars, but turbos dont have a place on them. It wasnt in the cards.

[Rguy]

I'm sorry man, but the simple ignorance of your post tells me how much you know about cars. Do you know what Mugent3/t4 ran in the 1/4 or how much power he made with just a head gasket? No. S2k's run lots of boost, lots of ITR's do too, a high compression ratio can be overcome by good fuel and timing maps. Turbos do just fine on a stock ITR as long as you dont run over 9lbs stock. Yeah, it was in the cards, but shit happens :)

[rhombus]

I dont think he knew what he ran in the 1/4. I believe that I among others offered him the opportunity to hand us our asses at the track. Funny he never showed up. Good tuning does make up for alot. High and low compression alike. After meeting Mugent3t4, I got the very strong impression that he didnt know crap about his own car and all the work was done at a shop by someone else. So I have a strong idea that he didnt know much about tuning.
I dont know about you, but I happen to have some experiance in turboing a non turbo car. Perhaps I am ignorant, then again maybe I am speaking from experiance.

Feel free to do your own thing, I have done mine and am very happy with the path that I have taken.

[VT SpecV]

Lets just say he didn't know too much about tuning...I mean who could with directional tires going the wrong direction?

Now there is someone that I'd love to have tune my car!:confused:

[rhombus]

I would be interested to see that timeslip. It makes me wonder when a new 350z runs a 13.9-14.0 stock with 287hp and TQ in the same ball park, and a stock ITR runs the same time. The weight diffrence isnt enough to make up for that. Your friend may have run that time, but I question if it was stock, gutted......
I am impressed if you ran a 14.7 in your ITR stock. You must be a good driver. It is what the car is suppose to run. I have seen modified Type-Rs run in the 15s. Perhaps I have just been to a crappy track too many times, where do you race at? What are the details of your run?

i'll run you whenever dinwiddie opens back up, just for fun that is.

[turbo hatchy]

R Guy...there arent many Hondas on this site and you are def. making us look bad. Look I do believe that a Type R can go 13's I just dont belive that you will go 13's and def dont believe it happening on street tires in full ITR trim. Either way you have a problem getting your point across because you just talk shit to everyone. Like when you told me I should run my car with steelies because thats what I have on their for the winter, and that It would be making my car something it wasnt if I put my drag radials on it. Come on now man you are a hater, and it seems like everyones car on here will dog urs. I know I already offerered you a race on the track or off I will give you 5 cars and the brake and I will run the steelies that you insist i should run on.

[hungwin]

My friend's Supra runs a 8.86 @ 158 mph. What does that have to do with my car and what it runs? Nothing.

Just because someone runs XX.XX times with their cars with Y and Z mods does not mean that you can do the same. Don't talk until you can back it up with some timeslips.

[VT SpecV]

THANK YOU HUNG! its about time

[VTGT]

OK, I don't like to get into other's "shit" but 3 things...

1. in response to Hungwin's post. He never said HIS car was running those times, ALL he said was that his friends car runs xx.xx to show that a slightly modded ITR CAN run in the 13's or damn close to it. He wasn't claiming anything to do with the fact that bec. his friends car can, his can too. He just gave an example that ITR's can get into the 13's. It's just like if i said a supra couldn't run 11's and you say that your friends supra ran 10's to dissprove what i said. Lighten up.

2. SpecVT, ok. You have SpecV, cool...they sound like some cool cars, and I can imagine that they can be fairly quick. But I have to agree with RGUY when he questioned the "man" part with regards to racing on the streets. I know MOST people in here do it, some quite often. Think about this. Maybe you are racing some car, and you win, so you are lookin back in your review mirror or something and hit someone ahead of you, killing them. So you live and you don't have to suffer the idea of dying in a street race, but someone else DID. You are right, we all could die at any moment, I could die TYPING this post, but i'm not going to go out and increase my chances further than i have to or risk someone else's life/lives. Two years ago, I got a wreckless ticket, and I don't race anymore on the streets. If you do run against another car, i would hope that there would be NO others cars around. I'm sorry to preach, I just don't think it is worth all that in the end. But to each his own, and i hope all your runs and others are safe.

3. Sorry for the longs posts, but I was reading this and had to say something. I like to vent when i read stuff that frustrates me.

4. This is not an RGUY ASS KISSING POST either, lol. It just seemed that most of the hostility was against him and I thought he had some good points.

Peace,

J

I understand that to an extent but still there are 8 second civics out there but mine wont ever see that. We are just saying of course some cars do this some that, but without any proof it doesnt mean ne thing

So just because you have a modded ITR doesn't mean it will beat a stock ITR. Every car is different. I have two friends both with GSRs. At one point, one of them had CAI and Tanabe Racing Medallion exhaust with a test pipe. The other had an Injen Short Ram intake. When they raced guess what.....the second car won. So just because your car is modded doesn't mean you are going to be running fast times. You gotta prove it before you can talk it.

Hey man,

I agree with you. No two cars are the same, etc, etc, blah blah. I just thought people were having a "difficult" time understanding what he meant. But I agree, one does not equate the other all the time. And I agree, a timeslip is all that really matters in the end (but let's not get into whole debate :D) I hope to get a few slips this Spring/Summer.

Peace,

Why are you so cocky? I didn't see Spec V's as being something fast last time I read about them. I mean, decent, but trash talking type R's and saying you walk on wrx's? What am I missing? Do you have boost or n20?

I mean, I'm thinking this looks right ;)

[VTGT]

sorry...lol

seriously...sorry

-J

[VT SpecV]

Yeah I agree with you, stock SpecVs aren't exactly the fastest thing on the road, BUT the QR25 is one the the most mod loving engines made. With just a few mods its easily made quick. That pic was taken when I just had exhaust, and the only reason I like that picture is b/c that GSX was fairly modded, and I was a car length behind it. At the time I was very happy for not getting destroyed in that race. I've since added more mods to the Spec, and is now much quicker.

Now as to the trash talking about me and Parker racing the ITR, based on common knowledge of ITRs they aren't exactly the fastest things on the road either. So, when everything is put together from all this talking, the Type R is in a so called "stock" state, if it is, then it WILL be drug behind me with a leash. If its moded then fine, how much, we haven't come to that conclusion yet. But if he's running a 13 then fine, but I want a slip and I want a list of mods, b/c NO stock ITR will run that, period.

[VT SpecV]

Thats supposed to say...and I wasn't even a car length behind it.

Sorry long day/night...

[hungwin]

I don't really care about this shit talking that much either, but Rguy _is_ implying that his car _can_ run those times -or better- because he has more mods than the ITR that ran the 14.1. Read his post again.

I'm done with this thread. :p

[VTGT]

SpecVT...well man, according to marshall you can get a pretty good run outta that SpecV, congrats. What is your fastest time?

J

[VT SpecV]

Well, so far my best time was a 14.94@ 92.13mph on stock tires, w/ an AEM CAI and cat back exhaust.....now that i have my header and new tires and rims I'm not sure what I'll run. Most ppl online are posting times of about 14.5s-14.7s with the same mods. So, I really have no idea what I'm running now, but I think it'll be closer to the 14.5-14.6 range, b/c I still haven't seen anyone online run a 14.XX in a Spec with just an Intake and exhaust. But, plain and simply put, we need a 1/4mi track close by so i can test these things more often :), I think everyone is in agreement there. BTW, I'm also considering getting the new lightened crank pulley, which has been dynoed at 5-7 hp and tq at the wheels. (yeah thats nuts for a lightened pulley, but they say the stock one weighs a fuckload). So I see this as a decent mod.

[VTGT]

SpecVT,

well running a potential 14.6 is still a time that makes driving a car fun :D It isn't like my car that comes stock at 15.3-15.6 depending on driver. At least my shit ain't stock anymore, LOL.

And YES, YES...we so need a 1/4 track. I haven't run at a 1/4 OR 1/8 yet, but that will change this spring/summer. Let's all pitch in and buy some land and make our OWN track...RIIIIGHT. Oh well, Bristol isn't THAT far way ;)

Peace,

Probably 14.90ish...unless you really didn't get traction last time, but will this time, but sounds to me like you did.

Actually there is alot of contraversy in terms of how much power lighten pullies give. Some say Lightend pullies dont do anything, but rather underdriven pulleys perform better. but of course there are those who say the exact opposite....

but i consider pullies Free Hp...just like freeing up airflow. I honestly hope u see those mid to low 14's with ur mods.

HUH? Are u saying that I'll still be running a 14.9 with a new header and new tires? i don't understand, maybe I'm reading it wrong.....but the stock tires absofuckinglutely BLOW, all the SpecV owners hate them, they are truely a horrible tire. Thats why with new one I can easily get a better hook up.

I wasn't aware of the bad tires, I assumed you had a good launch/grip situation.

also, you got a passenger headlight out..unless there's another spec v in town ;)

I have the pulley your talkin about, seems like i have a bit more top end more throttle response, and a barely noticeable change in midrange. And what most people online are running 14.5 and 14.6? I go to www.thevboard.com & www.b15sentra.net i don't see it happening.

But there was someone on b15sentra that had a time slip for proof, that ran a 15.0 bone stock on 18's.

edit: i saw someone ran a 14.5 with intake header and exhaust.

Oh, I didn't mean that everyone was running those times, I was just saying that, that was the range that I've seen, I go to b15 all the time. It seems like most of the decent drivers on there are pulling about those times, give or take.

And to Probe guy, there are 3 other black SpecVs in town, so I think it was one of them. Thanks tho.

I forgot.....are u happy with the pulley?? How much did u get it for? was it worth it?

[blackFa5]

I got it for 172.10 I'm happy with it so far except for the rougher idle. (part of the group buy on www.thevboard.com, my name there is diduceme.)

thats where I got my intake from they are pretty close by and have free shipping, i got my intake in 2 days on standard shipping.

Edit... Unless you have another big mod in mind id say go for this one. I can tell a difference and so far ive had it on a month and 2 weeks and no problems, or oil leaking.

It makes the engine feel like it has more punch, revs faster and like i said before makes it feel like you have more top end. I've let a few of the locals with specs drive it and they say they feel more pull in my car with it so.. the choice is up to you.

(a post on the pulley.)

[Axelerate]

People have hit the high 14's with a cold air, not many though but, there are a couple. Nice times though.

You should be close to those times with your header. I'm assuming it's a Hotshot???

I beleive they put down around 12 to the wheels. You should consider the knock sensor mod also with the header to keep your runs a little more consistant. Then you can always get rid of those pesky balance shaft for an additional 9 hp.

Hopefully soon I'll be getting that new Aebs header and a cat-back and I'll be good for a while, but my spec won't see much of a drag strip, mostly autocross and hopefully some road courses.

i did not want to register again but after readin this thread i was forced to...u guys need to calm down a lil...rguy likes to mess around...jesus...and if vtspecv...i highly doubt u walked any wrxs...and i gotta say...if u plan on a 14.6 to beat rguy...i dont think so...but everyone calm down...

[marshall]

it seems like everyone is calmed down... :confused:

[blackFa5]

Thats what i thought.

[VT SpecV]

First off, I'm not gonna even comment to secgendsm. Anyway, yeah its a hotshot, it should be here first of the week, along with springs (eibach Prokit). We are gonna be installing them at Parkers house, if anyone would like to help, let me know.

The pulley and the balance shaft removal are both mods that I'm extremely interested in doing, but I would like to talk to a few ppl about the balance shaft removal to see if there is anything going wrong or if there are any problems. Have either of you guys heard anything? Good or bad? I heard about some serious gains, but thats it.

PS-With better tires and the new header, I want to see a 14.6 or lower. Some of the guys online have hit that with stock tires, so I definately want it! :)

[Goofynick6]

I have a udp on my Probe, and I'll be switching back to stock soon, and modding it (to run higher boost with the s/c) but I don't think I liked the udp much.

Yeah, it was a ton lighter, but at idle there really is an electrical power loss, and there are more vibrations(only engine dampener is on the stock crank pulley). At 7k rpms I don't feel safe with no dampener, because an engine is only balanced so well from the factory.

If I were you I'd not bother with removing the dampeners, but perhaps the pulley by itself wouldn't be so bad. Do you want longevity? or power and perhaps damage due to an unbalanced engine? The balance is what keeps it efficient and running smoothly.

supposedly the pulley on this car doesnt balance the engine, like it does on most other cars, if thats true then its not a bad mod. As for me, i have a rougher idle if i use anything below 89 octane with the udp on, and the only time i can definately tell a strain on the power is when i have the a.c, headlights, foglights, rear defroster and radio on at the same time. otherwise just normal ac usage doesnt do anything that ive noticed.

MyProbeisfaster if he was worried about reliability he wouldnt street race everyday.

Get the jwt balance shaft removal kit, it is supposed to work pretty good, and of course you probably know of the gains. And from my knowledge nobody has had any problems with out the balance shafts.


edit:

did you ground the knock sensor?

[VT SpecV]

I've heard about doing this, but I've also heard that on some cars it does nothing, I still haven't heard of any results from the SpecV. Have u heard anything?

I've only heard that Spec-V's are slow pieces of shit, containing a poor excuse for a truck motor...

Kidding!

[blackFa5]

I haven't seen any visable proof Ie a dyno or something that says it works, but people say they can feel a difference.

[Tekwon-V]

now brian...

you really wanna do "all this"??? i mean c'mon... no doubt you love your nissan sentra se-r spec v (whew wut a long ass name)and are enjoying modding a car that's worth moding for (compared to your old car) but balance-shaft removal on a leased car? wut's next? NX kit? a turbo?

i talked to you so many times about this..... i REALLY hope you are planning on purchasing the car after the date is up. but then, your answer always has been "oh i will buy the car, unless there is a better car out by the time"

i am curious of wut you will say.

bling x2,

steve

[VT SpecV]

Actually yes Steve, I am planning on doing all this. And the best part is that it will most likely be on by the end of February. The springs come in tomorrow (mon) and the header will be here on wed. The pulleys and the balance shaft removal are not really bigs mods. I've talked to a couple guys about them and they said that it was no where near as complicated as they thought, they said that they are easily done and that I should have no problems. I am still doing more research at the moment on both of them, but if I here from a few more ppl that they haven't had any problems, then they'll be ordered, like I said, by the end of feb.

And about the lease thing, even if I don't keep it (but at the moment I'm seriously considering keeping it, and paying it off), I'm not too worried, I've kept everything that I've taken off or changed, and nothing is serious, so if I turn it in, it won't take me but about a day to get everything in order.

[blackFa5]

man just keep the car and pay it off and use it as a weekend car or something...

are you down with going to carlisle may 2-4th to represent the b15's...?

[VT SpecV]

Yeah, thats what I plan on doing man.....but yeah, I'd love to go, the only thing is, thats exams for me, so i'll have to see how the work load is. But if everything is cool, I'll be there! I went once and it was pretty amazing on how many ppl come to that show!

Umm, my shit is leased.

But all the stock components can go back on at any time. The best part is if you DON'T want to keep it, you don't have to and you can hand them back the problems. :p

If i blow my shit up, I'm really fucked either way you look at it.

Just my .02

Peace,
