What can increase acceleration?

[Nissan833]

1. Every car reacts differently to mods.

2. If talk about modifications, the limits are endless.. maybe by the wallet.

3. Don't call other people's car as crappy. I say your car is worthless piece of junk because I have more expensive ones, nice or not?

 

Turbo or not, just enjoy, don't need to argue until the cow comes home or force your opinion on others.

 

That said, in Singapore context with traffic lights all over, for daily work car, I prefer a small engine with light pressure turbo or supercharger so I can get peak torque early on for brisk acceleration, not for racing. If I have a high capacity NA engine, it is not efficient, you don't get to use most of the BHP.. but you can with forced induced cars but it may mean shorter life span for the engine, turbochargers and what not, so there is a trade off. But some people don't care about efficiency when it comes to bigger NA engine.

 

For instance, my neighbour bought the 2.8L FSI Audi A7 last time and recently switched to FL A7 with 2.0L TFSI. He mentioned the 2.8L FSI considered no power for that car and FC was really bad. His current 2.0L TFSI is much faster with better FC.

 

At the end of the day, you can have fun with both cars, whether NA or forced induced. It's just a preference, usually shaped by your driving experiences.

by chance,

i get to use a V6 na and recently, a turbo ride.. both manual.. so acceleration is never an issue for me..

 

V6 is nice. acceleration is acceptable and smooth..

parts are costly and typically, a drinker.

great for cruising.

 

while as, a turbo ride..

running on a TD05, high cam 272, adjustable cam pulley, sport clutch, proclaimed to be more than 350hp by previous owner..

 

i find it very undriveable...

either i don't know how to power this stallion or it's faulty..

however, the previous owner could drive as his wish and turbo kicks in pretty fast..

 

cool but i guess not for me, i'm going to re condition the whole engine, probably downgrade the cam and pulley, use back stock clutch..

 

afterall, i'm getting old

For me 1 full tank (60l, ron98) can go ~450km.

I pump once every ~9 days.

Monthly about $300 thereabouts.

 

 

 

Genuinely curious. Those workshop maintenance aside, how much petrol do you spend a month and the total mileage per month approximately?

My GTI does about 2000km and 4 full tanks of ron98 (one full tank about 50l) in a month for about $400. Got psst here and there once awhile only,

Well, I'm old and like to nag. Started posting in car forums as far as when COE costs few thousand dollars. Had my first Picanto and all the way to my current car. Been through the zng-stages and going for car gathering as far as I remember till my kid came. People posting in forums are still the same: quoting other people's post is a challenge of ideas and not necessarily putting ideas and making another accept it. Of course, just like eons ago, I recogise the usual "what the hell is he talking about? Probably another NS boy or someone who hasn't own a car blah blah blah"-talk. Sure, go assume. Ultimately, I'm posting to what this thread wants: how to increase acceleration of a car? You can go mod a lot, legally please, for fun or racing whatever... At the end of the day, most of us knows the truth: a turbo-charged car is still the way to go. Save up the money to mod NA cars and put it in a better car. Big companies will not spend so much money on understanding consumers' needs and then coming up with super cars or BMW M-classes, Mercedes AMGs, Audi S and RS variant cars for no reason. Please, do quote and correct me based on what this thread starter is asking.

Wow, nice. Heard many of the opposites but glad to hear something finally positive. You are really the first. Not too many of who I know actually own rexes I guess.

[Zippaboy]

NA can so easily increase 100bhp ah

 

My friend s2000 big bore , changed pistons. Think his s2k now 2.5-2.7L

 

Change every damn thing in the engine bay and exhaust.

 

Do you know how much he spent?

 

Whereas a EVO or STI can hit 500-600bhp so easily and STILL street drivable/raceable.

 

Those 900-1000bhp rexes/evo not practical la.

[Philipho]

My car is only slightly modded, tune + upgraded fuel pump + full catback exhaust.

Making about 230hp at the wheels, so the fuel consumption is still ok.

 

My colleague's wrx is heavily modded with big turbo, only can travel 300+km for a full tank.

You have the EJ20 or 25?

 

Auto?

 

I met a couple of guys who tuned theirs at a famous 'Happy Dyno' shop. Had stuff like sideplants and 400-500 hp quotes. After I sat on their way too loud rides, wasn't too impressed. Then gave them a ride and they were like, wtf your car so low hp can pull like that?

thats why i always tell my friends, not all dyno machines are equal.

 

"road test dyno" most accurate already.

EJ25, manual

Nice. Subaru auto boxes lose lots of power compared to the modern boxes out there.

Hi, I think there are many ways to improve car performances, I added a XL Fuel Master and it helps me to increase the combustion of the fuel and thus increasing performance and my per litre runs longer distance now. I have bought quite many to give out to family members and friends. I have some spare to let go and let me know if you are interested as I am selling below my cost just to clear the stuff from my store. I purchase it for $180 after foreign exchange & shipping from USD to SIn. Letting it go at $90 and I think I have about 20 units left. Whatsapp me at 97563849 if you are interested

 

I downloaded the technical spec from the website as follow

This product is made in USA and you can even buy directly from the manufacturer http://fuelmaster.com/order_form.htm

--------------------------------Product specs and features-----------------------------------

How does FuelMaster benefit you? Independent, U.S. EPA Accepted Lab tests for FuelMaster show an average of 11.6% better highway fuel economy. FuelMaster owners have reported and average savings of 8% - 18%. The environment is something we all want to take care of so isn't it nice to know you can do your part by lowering your vehicles emission pollution and save money at the same time using FuelMaster products??

-------------------------------Detailed Product Description: ----------------------------------

1.) FuelMaster is a fuel economizer and pollution reduction device which utilizes magnetic hydrodynamic technology to improve the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. Mostly, engine combustion is incomplete due to the molecular clusters of hydrocarbon fuel. In normal cases, only about 70% of the total burnt fuel provides the real power, with 30% of the fuel wasted and carbonized.

2.) The FuelMaster is the solution to this problem. When the fuel is passed through the fuel saver, the hydrocarbon molecules are temporarily ionized and create positively aligned molecules. The ionized hydrocarbon fuel results in a complete combustion when in contact with the negative oxygen (air-fuel mixture in the engine).

3.) The growing population of motor vehicles contributes to air pollution worldwide. Our field trials clearly indicate that the FuelMaster can help in reducing a good percentage of toxic emissions.

4.) The installation of the XL FuelMaster is very easy. Simply surround the FuelMaster on to the fuel line, close to the engine fuel injector rail or carburetor, and secure it in place (at both ends) using the cable ties provided.

So Xl fuelmaster compatible with surbo or not? If put both will it destroy my gearbox? I scared too much power.

Actually the most important thing is the ............tyres.

reduce weight, get a better tyre, add in cold air intake and ecu tune.

No offense to NA supporters but TC, TC Diesel, TC Hybrid will be the engine of choice in the near future. In fact European brands have already replaced almost all their models to TC. If not because of 2009 Lehman Bro. crisis, most major jap brand would have developed their own TC engines rather than cutting cost by using the super old ivtec and vvti with 4/5 speed.

 

Beside Subaru, now slowly we're seeing some jap models with TC. With Nissan's Juke, Qhasqai, Sylphy SSS. Infiniti Q50. Lexus NX200t. Upcoming much anticipated "ah beng" sports car Honda Type R with TC engine. Even Kia, Hyundai and Chevrolet are coming out TC cars. People can argue about reliability but TC is so common now and after years of development that reliability issues should be of the past. Like it or not it will be that way.

 

Unless we're talking about Ferrari, Maserati, Aston Martin, Lamborgini etc. Their super high revving NA V8, V10 and V12 engines are to die for and the sound is just intoxicative, TC engines will never create those so called music. But then they are also incorporating TC in some of their model line-up (so sad).

 

It is already a known fact that normal NA engines are mostly inefficient and it takes so much mod to squeeze out a bit more power. So save up and change to a TC car. I recommend Nissan Sylphy SSS 1.6DIG-T with 188bhp, not bad. Or any conti brand TC cars.
