What's your 0-60 time?

[CJizzle]

I tried searching for the 0-60 time, but I have not really found any info on it.

I googled altima 3.5SE's 0-60 time is around 5.9-6ish. The best I've seen is 5.7 secs (stock).

I know that tires and the ground inclination matter a lot too.

But I guess I would like to hear from those who have actually tested out themselves and what performance mods made the most difference? Like the HP:money ratio

I really would like to purchase something that's sorta cheap but can get a lot of HP out of my car.

I have a CVT and the 270HP, I really would like to utilize that HP you know I mean?

Anyways, please post something up with your 0-60 time, and the performance mods. Suggestions on the best mod that'd get the most of your car is very welcomed.

P.S. I am not looking for a turbo kit.

Thanks.

Oh yea, I am posting this thread up because I know there are a lot of cars out there that has the similar stats as ours (G35/37, 350/370Z, IS 350, TL, blah blah) I really would like to make my car stand out, meaning that I don't wanna lose to them on the mother f***ing streets! Possibly keep up with with a 335i...

about the end of your thread, you can probly make your coupe in competition with the g35, g37, 350s but its just gunna be hard to get it as fast as the 335i's and 370s unless you wouldn't mind turbo or supercharging you're a/c which i dont think you can with the cvt

[Hussain]

well, most people dont know what their car's 0-60 is. I dont really know of anyone with a modified car that looks at 0-60. they all look at 1/4 mile times. the altima coupe 3.5se CVT was said to do a 14.6 in the 1/4 mile stock. I actually ran a 14.4 stock though. all stock with stock tires BUT with a cat-back exhaust I did a 14.2 multiple times. I did a 13.9 with no muffler on my car. so thats sort of an indicator that the car's stock exhaust system is slowing it down a good amount. The only mods available are intake, exhaust, Y-pipe, Pulley, "Uprev" tune or "bully dog" piggie back tune.

intake = gives a nice sound but no ones seen any power gains and some members claim it slowed them down

exhaust = made me .2 seconds quicker in the 1/4 mile (which is a pretty good amount)

Y-pipe = good amount of power and some members claim it gave them even more power then exhaust did.

Pulley = members say the car revs through the RPMs faster and it gave them a descent increase in power

tune = UPrev comes out to like $800 and I dont know of anyone who has used it on a non-Turbo altima coupe. bully dog tune has mixed reviews. some say it made a big difference and some so not such a big difference


my advice, start out with a Cat-back exhaust and Y-pipe and then move to a pulley or tune.

G37 = does a 13.9 so you can make it faster then a G37 (coupe that is... the sedan is faster).
370Z = you wont beat without a Turbo system, which will mess up your transmission.
335i = probably wont ever beat this either. plus for like $300 you can have a 335i at 400+ HP lol
IS350 = you can make the altima coupe faster
G35 = I've beaten some while my car was stock and never lost after my exhaust except for 1 that was crazy loud.
350z = depends on the year. with a few mods you can beat the ones that dont have the VQ35HR motor

[DJ_B_Easy]

Very interesting to see the difference in times with different mods Hussain. Any plans to keep going with mods? Y Pipe? Bullydog? Id like to see where that puts you since you have base numbers to compare to.

[Hussain]

ya I want to try and get the Y-pipe, pulley, and bullydog tuner eventually. a lot of people have been selling their cars so I'll probably wait until I can find a bullydog tuner cheap and the same goes for the Y-pipe.... I ran that 14.2 with my cat-back exhaust and stock tires that were super bald (Nor Cal people saw my tires lol) and I just got some new tires. on the street if I did a hard launch with my stock tires, I would get a lot of wheel spin. these new tires hook up almost instantly on hard launches. so at the track I'll have more traction and might be able to hit a 14.1 the way my car is now

I am surprised at how Altima coupes can beat G37s (since those things have 330 HP)... I guess they are just that much heavier? I thought both altima and G37 should weight about the same.

haha sigh... my buddy owns a 335i stock and that s*** is hella fast. it's a shame that my car cannot keep up with it.

So how much HP do each of the mods really honestly gives you in reality?

I don't really believe how some exhausts advertise/claim 10-20 HP gain...

[CoupeVQ35CVT]

My Ebay exhaust claimed 20 hp gains in their ad. That alone should have me pwning 350Z and G35 noobs. But not quite. I guess it's no different than the 20 whp muffler bearings I hear about. The Y-pipe is supposed to add 12-13 whp. That alone should get me close to what, 290 bhp, as fast as early 350Z? I can't tell. I have both the ebay catback and Y-pipe, so that puts me at hmm... 310 bhp or 260-265 whp? ROFLMAO. If only I could really find out. Hmm I'm gonna see if my brother's HTC has a dyno app we can try and get back to ya with my 0-60 with these 2 mods.

The G37 Coupe is a sad joke of a "sports" car. It's big, fat, and well, aside from that, HP sells, so there you have it. I like its looks but it weighs in at a fat 3700 lbs, somehow it's heavier than the Sedan and yet it's supposed to be the "sportier" model. I think the G35 coupe was better at that than the G37 version.

The 08-09 Altima Coupe weighs at a little less than 3300 lbs (3268 for the CVT?) , the '10 and up apparently weigh a handful of pounds over 3300 lbs, depending on CVT or 6MT.

That and given some other technical factors, the G37 Coupe is not much faster at all than the Alti Coupe. But the G37 sounds niceeeeee while the Altima, you have to get some aftermarket exhaust to get that VQ sound (somewhat).

The 350Z, depending on model year, had 287-305 hp (or something) but weighed very close to the Altima coupe (3200- earlier models to almost 3400 lbs and above for the late years, and verts) The figures put the A/C and 350Z very close, so with a few mods, an A/C should be able to keep up or beat an older Z on a straight line.

370Z - 0-60 in what, 4.x seconds? No way in hell without a turbo or engine transplant will an Altima keep up, that I know of, unless you stuck thick newspaper rolls into the Z's exhaust pipes.

We have to race at the September car meet. I know you have the ebay exhaust and just recently installed the y-pipe. I really want to know how much of a difference it makes...

Also, do pumping 93 or 89 really matter? I usually pump 93 but when the gas price is up I pump 89 lol. I know it's only a couple buck difference but it just makes me feel better

I saw Ranga14 vs. your car + the ebay exhaust race, Ranga14's car seems much faster because his car is much more modded than yours.

So what is in your opinion the best mod for HP gain for our coupes?

Finally, do you really feel a big gain (like is your car really faster) after the ebay exhaust? and after the y-pipe?

Thanks in advance.

2.5 6spd w/ every bolt on and premium BD GT tune,

best 0-60 i've cranked out was 6.29 secs (im undercutting that 6.3 haha) Headers + up to date Tune made the biggest difference in the world. stock- i was running anywhere from 6.8-7 secs

i got a 2.5 cvt and im doing 8's :/
and i got headers, intake, and bd gt tuner runnning on premium,
what type of tune do u have on ur bd?? (dnt rlly know how 2 get the most out of it :/)

SFR offers a turbo kit for the 3.5 CVT trannies BTW

and the only 2 people I know of that got the kit, had their transmissions replaced a couple times. blake (addidas2go) ended up just selling the car and Ricky ended up doing a transmission swap to 6 speed manual.

[Hussain]

I take that back, their was a 3rd member on the east coast that got the kit. blew his transmission and traded the car for a 370z

Premium tune setting w/ manual update from online- make sure to update the firmware if you havnt by dl'ing the software to the comp, and doing an auto update for the engine size and settings. its kinda plug and play w/ the USB cable and autorun feature on our comps. timing is +4degrees as well.

Stillen headers, weapon r intake, nismo catback

damm! what was your quarter mile time??

best so far was an estimate because theres only a 1/8th mile track by me- and the estimate, had i kept going to the quarter, was 14.7-9 secs. off 3 runs respectively. no printouts were issued which is retarded, but i might be able to pull up the log of the performance testing done through the BD. 8% humidity, and 74 degrees. 0 degrees inclination and 2200rpm launch into first. spun tires mildly startup on first, and 2nd. high end of 2nd gripped harder. raised rev limiter to 5350. and held 2nd a lil longer which sounds like beast mode haha

[BzOaY]

I take that back, their was a 3rd member on the east coast that got the kit. blew his transmission and traded the car for a 370z

this is true and sucks but, they also offer a transmission upgrade....but idk how much it helps and it is also another couple G's

SFR was charging around $4500 or so for it. It's mainly better internals such as improved Torque Converter I believe.

[BzOaY]

With putting better internals and torque converter would it be able to handle it. They say it can handle alot more power but for how long. Not degrading the product but our transmission can only handle so much power and they help out but other parts in the transmission that they dont replace could go out

[BzOaY]

I just want to get a good handle on if it would be worth getting the turbo kit or not

[Ranga14]

Well, from what I understand, if you run it at 5psi then you should have no issues. It's when you turn up the boost, the issues arise.

I don't think anyone has driven on an "upgraded" CVT for more than a month though so there's no word on it's longevity.

I'd advise contacting SFR to talk to them in more detail on what's possible.

So what is in your opinion the best mod for HP gain for our coupes?

Finally, do you really feel a big gain (like is your car really faster) after the ebay exhaust? and after the y-pipe?

Thanks in advance.

Honestly, I do not remember how my car was with completely stock exhaust anymore. In fact, I don't think I can remember, because I had the car 2 weeks, when I installed the ebay exhaust. At that time, I only had about 1500 miles on the car, so I was still not revving it past 3500-4000 rpm. Now, you might say I should be able to tell a difference with the Y-pipe, but again, unless I could race my own ghost like Need for Speed, I can't tell you how much faster my car is. Most other folks will tell you they can "feel" a difference in mid/high RPM range, and perhaps they are right, or maybe their brain's playing tricks. In the big picture the "12 whp" the Y-pipe claims is only 4% more power, I doubt anyone can really tell 4% up OR down, day to day.

I would say though that money to power ratio wise, the Y-pipe, pulley, and ebay exhaust/custom exhaust are probably the best along with the BD tuner. Also, I'm debating on getting the Uprev tune for my car as it sits. With a good tune I should be able to get more HP refined from the car. I'd pay $500 for it if I was sure I can get 15-20 whp more compared to the current power level.

And yeah, we can try to find a highway somewhere like last time to see how much faster at all my exhaust combo is compared to a stock 3.5 coupe. It will be very interesting. I'm looking forward to the car meet this September, should be a great turn out with good cool temps (or so I hope).
