Throw down some of ur zero 2 sixty times if you got w/ ur mods..

 

Best for me was roughly 7 flat, and that was WITHOUT "launching" the car, just dropped into gear at about 1K and then punched. Stopwatch, so not exact.

Mods are in profile, but mainly....
Flywheel, intake, exhaust, better tires

 

battle of the 4 cylinder vs 0 cylinder

i found this video kind of interesting, its a video of a moded nisan sentra spec v, vs. a stock rx-8.

spec v has i/h/e according to the video

enjoy

sentra vs. rx-8 *video*


kinda makes the rx-8 look like its standing still...

p.s. i bet a tC with the i/h/e can show up a stock rx-8, right?

my tC creed: "my torque is my ally"

 

to have an rx-8 you really have to understand how the enine works and be able to drive them. they're really not slow but it also depends quite a bit on driver ability. the potential is there its just really high in the rpm is all. we all know that nissan engines are famous for being torque monsters.

 

maybe it was an auto rx-8. that would probably be very slow.

besides the rx8 isn't supposed to be fast, it is supposed to handle.

 

Ok, im not gona lie to you guys, i drove an RX 8, i may be young but i have driving exp, i know how to drive, iv made my mistakes , and iv learned from them, and that car w/o a doubt is the most underpowered, disapointing, piece of rotary machinary i have ever driven in my life. tC depending on whos driving should take a stock rx8, but once that rotary hits 40k miles, the rx8 will rip. but hellll whos gona buy an rx8 to say "hey let me just wait 3.5 years till i burn you lol"

 

manny rx8*

 

the RX-8 in that vid was an automatic, you can see his hand doesn't move fast enough off the wheel to shift it when it did, and the takeoff RPM's started at about 1000, not to mention the way the car shifted makes it obvious it's an automatic

I've driven an RX-8 at an autocross event, and those are anything BUT slow when you get them moving and keep the revs above 8k. Look up some timeslips on an autocross course of the RX-8's, they hang with STI's in stock class, even though they're B-stock and STI's are A-Stock, they're up there with the S2000's and porsche boxters, you just have to know how to drive them properly and how they like to be driven

auto-X results, look at the RX-8's times in B-Stock - http://www.autocrossersinc.org/docs/...006Results.pdf

For the record, the RX-8 I drove was one of the funnest cars I've driven in a while, the high-speed stability and high-speed cornering control of that car was amazing, it's definitely more of a road-course car and autocross car aside of a straight-line burner. For the price though, I'd rather buy an evo or STI.

 

the moral of the story is mt>at.

 

I thought the moral of the story was 0-60 times in your scion??

 

yeah..............how was the rx8 brought up lol

 

Oh yeah, and my scion i nailed a flat 7 as well, w/ a stop watch from a dig, w/ barely any wheel spin. W/ a bit more boltons we may be seeing some high 6s

 

stock 7's is pie, I wanna see some 5's from the turbo crowd.

BTW - "bolt-ons" for a couple tenths of a second? How much would pulley's, intake, header, and full exhaust really cost? $1500?

the only real performance increasing bolt-on is forced induction.

 

forced induction is pointless unless you have opened up the engine to breath better to begin with ie intake and full exhaust work.

 

wow, no offense here, but remind me again how you can put forced induction on the TC without modifying the intake (which connects to the intercooler/turbo, and using the stock header for the manifold to the turbo?

forced induction creates boost pressure. boost pressure increases the density of the air entering the engine, making a boom into a bigger BOOM. Bigger BOOM = more power.

Of course you'd see some gains from a turbo-back exhaust, that's just asinine. Saying forced induction is pointless UNLESS is ignorant. Boost makes power, even if the engine has a 1" intake and exhaust port. Boost generates power exponentially.

 

I got King Kong in the trunk, king kong, king king king king kong!!!

I just thought i would try a jacking since everyone else is. It obviously not gonna be about 0-60 times

 

not all boost applications are turbo and yeah i understand all of that but volumetric effiency still needs to be kept in mind. if it can flow it how is it supposed to do better.

 

I can flow!!! Didn't you here me, KING KONG in my trunk!!!



I did 0-60 feet in about 6 seconds on my schwinn

God this thread is a joke

 

my 60 foot is about 2.34

 

Nevermind, I just noticed you have an XA, so it's no wonder you don't know about forced induction. Pick up a book sometime. You just contradicted yourself because Volumetric efficiency has to do with the efficiency of the combustion per combustion cycle, and the only real way to improve that is to port and polish the head and valve openings. The stock intake provides MORE than enough air to suit any application you can put on the TC according to the MAF sensor.

On that note, can your XA do 0-60 before the sun sets yet? Don't they run 0-60 at over TEN seconds with a stick and a good driver?

I know fast cars that can run a quarter-mile race in that time, no wonder you're a tad out of the loop.
