1/4 mile

[Romedzlsr20]

anybody run decent 1/4 mile

[Reno]

no

[mallbor240SR]

whats a decent run for you?

when i spected 15.s i run 16when i spected 14.s i run 15... im going to spect 9.s the next time

[Reno]

..i never ran the 1/4 or the 1/8.. i never did anything to my car yet...gg

[dickie]

did you buy a 240 for 1/4 mile times? if you did you may want to see about swapping to a v8 or even getting a mustang. these arent too fast and furious in a straight line without heavy and expensive modding.

having said that, i could run a better quarter in my old oldsmobile g-body cutlass.

[s13rb25det]

I ran a 12.9 with my 240sx but that was with a rb25det in it!! turbo the ka24de they handle boost really well or go with a RB motor and dont let anyone tell you that 240 will always be slow because they can be made to go VERY fast!!

[Tulsa_S-13]

I'll be honest, I ran a 16.3 at 86mph. That was with stock exhaust and cold air intake, oh and with the automatic transmission.

[Reno]

quick question home boy... when u floored it what rpm did your transmission change from 1st to second?

[mirra32]

well haven't gone to the track....i have "fixed" up my car a little and was able to beat a civic Si that has ran 14.8 in the quarter.......?????i pulled on him about 1 car link....and traction sucked

[DjPantsSpecR]

in my automatic, to answer reno it shifts at 7000 from 1 to 2 but 6500 everywhere else

thats pretty much exactly how the manuel should be driven too depending on your cams and timing

[240HO]

i ran a 15.6 @ 88mph this weekend

[dickie]

hey dj pants, if youre pushing all the way to 7k rpms. how is that 5.5k dropoff affecting you? im guessing that shifting at 7k puts the revs into the meatiest part of the powerband after a shift, or else why hold it after the power drops off like that?

thats not even a word....its expected

sorry

[240HO]

i dont know about the rest of yall but my rev limit is 6300 so 7000 is out of my reach and i do have a manual on stock ecu

[TheOne]

fastest i've ran is a 10.5 @63mph(i think) in the 1/8th mile(8th not quarter), shifting @ around 6300rpms or so, normal tires(crappy, on doughnuts!), somewhat bad engine(many miles), ebay intake and no weight reduction, everything else stock, base model 5sp.

i think my brother with a 95 240sx automatic(base model) ran a 10.5 too, or somewhere around that.

[240HO]

that was on 205/60/15 w/22lbs, full exhaust, and agxs in rear set on 5.

[DjPantsSpecR]

well you pretty much have to hold the automatic out like that. there is no reason to get off the throttle as when the car shifts it still accelerates more than the manual car can.

Still holding out to 7000 has the ability to get you up to at least 40 before the shift, which is five more mph than the five speed at 7000. although the gear is taller, its not that much taller. it makes me wish the 5speed 1st was this tall

i have 240/240 cams in that car. i swear by 248/232, but i havent tried 248/240 and this car shouldn't have 248/248

240/240 has some serious gains in the 3000+ area over stock, but it falls on its face harder faster. I honestly dont notice the power drop off, but the only thing i can compare it to is my fully stripped coupe with a 5speed and headwork, so i wont compare it.

In these cars its still more advantageous to take advantage of revs rather than worrying about power dropping off. if you can rev it out to 7000, do it. but stock for stock a car that shifts at 7000 will use the gearing advantage much better than one that shifts sooner. however, after second gear i wouldnt take it out that high

[vaxiong]

how fast do ya think a stock manual 91 240sx hatch would run???

[240HO]

im still wandering how u can rev that thing to 7000 rpms. are u running some kind of stand alone ems. because im runnin a stock ecu and the rev limiter comes on at 6300 and i have a 5spd. u said u did this on an automatic thats crazy.

[Reno]

bad ecu?

I am not a %100, but I believe the automatic revs higher than the manual. The automatic doesnt use the computer to limit the revs during regular driving, it has a seperate device that tells the transmission when to shift.I say that I am not sure because I can not remember who was talking about it or when/where I read about it. It makes since to me because my father had a Bronco II that I drove until I was able to purchase another car. It had problems shifting(wouldnt downshift properly, it would carry out gears too long, etc..) and there was some kind of little module(it was ran off of vacuum) that told the transmission when to shift that was bad and had to be replaced.

Do a search, someone has to talk about it on here somewhere.

I found the post...

well, if you have an automatic transmission, you probably have an ECU and a TCU (transmission control unit). the TCU controls the shift logic, while the ECU controls the engine's response to your right foot, among other things..............

these are S13s

stock ecus

one manuel one automatic, both rev to 7000 all day

is yours an S14?

[DjPantsSpecR]

and i think a stock 5 speed 91 hatch will run 15.8 on your best run

prolly low 16s every other time, depending on how sweet you are

[Nismochick240]

hehe thats prolly right... i ran a 10.04 in the 1/8 mile... i wanted to take it to the commerce 1/4 track but i didnt know that last week was the last week boo! hopefully by next year i'll be kat biatch!!!!!

[DjPantsSpecR]

nothing is going to the track with four+ inches os snow thats showing up right now

10.04? how many pounds did you car lose again? just some bolt ons too right?

[Nismochick240]

10.04 in a *1/8* miles

current mods at the time: anything and everything that was in the rear of the car is gonegutted cat and a muffler

thats just great driving skills

[DjPantsSpecR]

yeah i knew you were talking about the eighth

i was just wondering because this girl i know who's dad owns an eighth mile strip was talkin **** that my car wouldnt even run 10. but i make more power and my car is lighter than yours, so high 9's should be quite possible

but tis the winter now, so its time to build for N/A for the spring, but its a little disappointing i'll be shooting for 14's in the quarter..

[Nismochick240]

mm you prolly could... my boyfriend has about 180hp and full on weight reduction lol (more than me which is sad hehe) but his best time is like 9.61

[DjPantsSpecR]

sweet, no problem for me then

high compression, header, exhaust, tune, cams, intake, e fan, pulleys, flywheel and clutch. doesnt include big stickies and a diff. all to run 14's....

oh well it'll still be ridiculously worth it, especially dailydriven

[dickie]

hey djpants how are the synchros in your other car doing?
