You will with a descent launch. Go race and let us know..

[lewdaka03]

well this is what will happen... if you both launch good he will pull through 1st prolly half a car then by second youll be neck and neck... and by third you should be half a car ahead. then by fourth youl pull to about 1 car... then basically stay that way with him maybe gainin back a half in fifth... But you never know... JUS RACE AND TELL US WUT HAPPENED DAMN IT!!!!!!

[pikkagtr]

yes the only way to find out is race
i always wanted to know how a sepc v would fair

[carrrnuttt]

The way I see it is this:

I've raced a swapped EX before in my "Classic" SE-R, and beat it by three cars.

I know that your DX should be lighter than the EX, so I should mention that one of the two b16 cars that beat me in town was a light-as-hell CRX with an I/H/E b16...and he beat me by one car (my front-bumper even with his back-bumper).

I have also raced a couple of stock SpecVs, and both times I have raced them, we were dead-even, with one pulling maybe a fender, depending on how fast we shifted.

I've run a best of 15.0 using a G-Tech, with a spinning launch.

Don't count on top-end either, as most these races reached into 4th gear.

I say it'll be close...too close to tell, especially not knowing you guys' skills.

Just race and find-out.

WE RACED LAST NITE

ok off the take off were even sort of my 13's are spinning like a mothafooka end of 1st he's a little ahead of me shift to 2nd boom i pick up a little on him by end of 2nd gear i have him by a fender bam 3rd gear we are same 1 fender ahead of him but by the end of 3rd gear i pull half a car i was shifting at 9,000 rpms

[crabby760]

we raced again this time i had no wheel spin i jumped him like 1 car in 1st gear then pulled more in 2nd gear by the end of 3rd i had like 2 cars on him that was a week ago now he added a exhuast system and some axel balance transfer kit? something like that i dunno what it is but do you think with those extra mods he will beat me now ? i had 2 cars on him when he had intake/header/nocat now he'll have intake/header/nocat/fullexhuast/balance axel transfer kit?

hes gonna beat you if he drives good cause if your saying what i think your saying that he got his balance shaft remove which does wounders in those motors vq's but you never know

[crabby760]

damn what does the balance shaft removal actually do for his car can someone tell me please and how many car lenghts would he gain from this mod im hoping to take off my cat also by friday so i'll be running cold air intake/dc header/ no cat/ full exhaust and the mugen chip let me know thanks

It's estimated to add up to 25WHP on those cars.

[crabby760]

so if i beat him by 2 cars before he added that balance shaft removal im basically gonna get smoked now?

[YOUNGSTER]

i know one thing it should be a bad ass race

Hello,

I'm a Spec V owner - and I'm sorry, but I have to disagree on your race about being dead even.

First, a few reason to support my argument -

A modded spec v with intake and header is putting down about 160-166 horses or so depending on the weather. The thing with this is the torque - he is making almost 170lbs torque where your making what, 130 or so - there is no way that your civic, even with reving to 9 grand is going to out drive or be faster then the spec -

secondly, depending on the modifications done to his car, the balance shaft removal frees up between 6-10 horses and if he does the knock sensor, then he is looking at another 4-6 also.

the balance shaft is a component in the engine that basically is a harmonic balancing tool used to reduce vibration in the engine. Since the 2.5 is also offered in the Altima, Nissan needed to make the altima a comfortable car to drive in thus the balance shaft is added - since it is chain driven, it robs horses from the car and also causes oil frothing in the oil pan. Removing it from the car causes more vibration but then frees power because it is not on the chain anymore.

I have a spec and I have intake, headers, cams, exhaust, and motor mounts and i race against b16's all the time - no way guy -

You must hate torque . Unless you can get your flywheel machined right fast or pick up a lightweight aluminum job, you're going to struggle...
