CVT doing 13's in the 1/4 mile

[Hussain]

yup! i broke into the 13's with my coupe today lol after i beat my friend today at the track he said i probably got the best time any A/C has gotten so far (not including the turbo coupe that hasn't run yet). 1st run i did a 14.2, 2nd run i did a 14.0 against my friend's SRT-4 and i got it on film, he said he'd upload it tomorrow. then i ran a 13.912 @ 99 MPH, then i got eliminated for doing a 13.92 because i had to dial in a 14.00 (didn't bring a helmet) and i beat the 14.00. i think if i would have did the tire pressure thing, i could have hit a 13.8. pretty much got the lowest 13.9 you can get, any little improvement would have got me the 13.8. don't have the vid of the 13.9 because my friend left after i did the 14.00 but ill post my time slips.

[adidas2go]

Really? Thats weird. Haha I ran it up here in Fallon, NV and got the worst times i think anyone can post. 5,300 ft above sea level and 100 degrees. My lowest time out 10 or so runs was 15.6. But the heat and elevation played key factors in those numbers.

[TheBourneAltimatum]

good job! i'm curious to know how you launched...and this is great news for the CVT!

[Hussain]

my friend's told me not to let out my secret but you guys are like a 2nd family on here..... you know my "straight piped" post lol it's only 2 bolts and makes a HUGE difference lol i unbolted everything after the cat and pushed it to the side (only 2 bolts)..... i went from doing 14.4 with the possibility of a 14.3 to hitting hella low 13.9 almost doing a 13.8 lol if it made that big of a difference AFTER the cats, i'm thinking about getting 3" true dual lol still wont hit that 13.9 or 13.8 but maybe a 14.00..... if im lucky lol

and was this with the stoc wheels and with the ****ty turanza's?if you put slicks on it you'll be doing about 13.7, maybe 13.6this is great! 3rd gens with cold air intake exhaust, and other mods are strugling to even get into the 13's good job...it must be the luck of the arab

[Loop]

Nicely done.

You may be right about removing the 2 bolts. But on the GReddy Ti-C exhaust there is a removable tri-mounted silencer and I can tell the difference when its on or off. More gains when its off.

lol yup. i almost didn't go! i'm feeling sick but then my friends were like come on you gotta go, no ones going till the end of May for the "North vs South" event.... Nor Cal vs So cal at sacramento (my local track) lol but ya, 100% stock.... i took out my back seat, spare tire, and jack too lol by the way anyone thinking about taking out the back seat for the track DO NOT DO IT!!! i was about to put it back in lol it weighs NOTHING!!! maybe the spare and the jack and the back seat weighs nothing, like 5 pounds and thats not just taking out the 2 clip bottom part, thats unbolting the top part of the seat too.

[Hussain]

my car # was 5805. the 14.097 @ 97.928 MPH was against my friend's SRT-4 and we have that one on film, my friend said he'll upload it tomorrow. i don't have the 13.9 on film (my friend went home) but you can see my car # in the time slips and its not like someone will get the exact time and MPH as me, on the same lane, against someone else getting the same time and mph as my friend lol so it's legit, these are my time slips (not some i found on the floor lol)

i'm in the left lane 1st pic and right lane 2nd pic (car # 5805)

[TheBourneAltimatum]

^lol what did you race on the second run that threw down 21.8@56 mph a lawn mower

[mcheddadi]

I'm going to go try the 1/4 mile when it gets hotter with my wider tires (245), springs and intake.

should be awesome!

[Hussain]

i ran him like 3 times!!!! lol they kept putting me against this old school VW van! lol the van was doing 20's all day lol the only competition they gave me was my friend's SRT-4 and then at the end a stick shift G35 coupe that did 14.8

[08Coupe]

Lol nice work, you should have got the G35 race on video! 13's in a basically stock cvt is great, next time bring a helmet. Instead of tring for a better time work on the trap speed (shoot for 100mph) the times will come since your CVT. Intake and a few pounds off should do the trick

what was the correction factor??

[D-Roll]

Impressive bro! Eventually I'll run mine down the track just to see my times now that I have modded it.

[ursus]

LoL now that's what i call impromptu, good stuff man. Now not to stir anything betw cvt and 6mt, I'm curious how the 6mt would do w/ the same "mod"

[NissNEZ08]

Wow, I am completely floored at your times.... VERY IMPRESSIVE for a 270hp, 3200 pound car! I would have never thought our CVT's could muster that. Thanks for giving me (US) hope! RIght on!

[Oside3.5]

Where's the VIDS!!!

[Robs_altima]

Wow, mad props on the runs. I don't think a lot of public credit has been given to the CVT's but I'm pretty impressed.

I may have missed this in the topic but what tires are you running?

[spockrock]

I believe he is on stocks still..........

[Frozer!!!]

Awesome +1 for the A/C

[One Crazy Max]

wow you are the first 07+ altima (sedan or coupe) to break 13's. but i thought you did it stock, but its still quite a feat seeing as how you are cvt and all. good job. that 2.1 60ft really helps you out.

i hope to break 13's next time i hit the track, but all i have is intake, and the endlinks which should help me get some traction.

[surmanm]

That's amazing great time's I was just arguing about this comparing my friends g35 stock he ran a 14 flat on a hot summer day manual . To the A/C 3.5 cvt .. Also quick question if anyone can give me a heads up about this when on the track with the cvt Trans what the best way to have a perfect launch with optimal time, and so your wheels don't spin?? especially with our cvt trans is it better to gradually press on the gas to have the car catch the gear at the right time and then floor it or to floor it from the start.i know the cvt allows unlimited gear ratio so the rpm stay at max , but the initial launch im not to sure about with cvt. Sorry if it's a stupid question

[principito]

WOW!!!!!

i've got a close friend with an SRT-4. he's making 13.8 or something. we'll be racing soon and he said that THERE?S NO WAY i could beat him. he said that A/C will be doing around +14.5.So, in plain english, how did you pulled this one off???? i mean, i read this thread but i still didn't get the trick. sorry if this sounds too dumb for some, but i really didnt get what did you do mate.

heeeeeeeeeeeeelp i dont want to loose!!!!!

[principito]

hmmmm i just got off the phone with my friend... we bet 100usd and this is what he told me after closing the deal:

"A/C 1600kg/270hp = 5.9 kg/hp, mustang 5.3 kg/hp, srt-4 5.4, which means i carry less weight per hp that your A/C, i beat mustangs with better ratio than mine cuz they are too heavy even though its a v8 RWD. My best time ever was a 13.77, so there's no way in hell you can beat me at the race track, plus i really think its impossible for an A/C to drop below 14"

wtf? i feel sad now =(

well obvoiusly your freind is retarded because hussain obviously just put down 13.9 and the slips to prove italso he ran stock and removed the exhaust and ran straight piped. if you have better tires, and an intake and now how to launch good you should be able to smoke his ***

Also, FWD cars put a higher percentage of the hp coming to the engine down to the wheels. 've seen many mustangs lose around 50hp putting the power to the wheel. and remember he said his best time was 13.77. he could make a mistake, or something but it doesnt mean he is going to run 13.77read around for tips about drag racing...mustangs aint ****

[Robs_altima]

There's too many things going on when talking about 1/4 mile times. From a roll you may never catch an SRT, maybe you will I don't know. I can compare my A/C to my friends turbo tC. I will beat him in a 1/4 mile simply because of my launch. My coupe before intake, exhaust and tires 14.12 @98ish his 14.24 @103mph. His problem has do to high gearing and the turbo surging power while trying to control traction, either that or I give nissan a big plus for its design of the half shafts and controlling torque steer. For those who don't know once one wheel starts spinning, you're automatically losing traction with a one leg 60ft time. Now from a 30mph roll I can't catch him.

My only tip is not to look into power to weight ratios and things like that too much when comparing cars. I'm not pushing anymore than 230whp on the dyno jet and I know for a fact my friends tC is over 250whp/255lb torque, with a very strong midrange power curve . While my car is also 200+ lbs heavier.

I dunno guys the SRT-4's are quick, they are basically tuned turbo charged neons straight from dodge and do 5.3s 0-60...... so yeah........you do the math, granted its dodge so odds are it will fall apart before you hit the 1/4 mile throw a curve on the tack and it will keep going in that straight line.

acutally I raced my buddies SRT-4, 5 outta the 10 runs I made, beat him everytime. He only dipped out of the 16's once up here.

Ok so I stand corrected, those numbers I pulled off the net it seems like with those numbers we would not stand a chance, so I guess.... its either driver or the numbers are wrong.

[razah9]

Now did you just floor it on the CVT or did u put it into manual shift?And if Manual Shift did you shift it yourself or let it shift on it's ownwhich is does when u get near the redline?
