I am happy with my crack then. All I can say is after the service (perhaps something else was wrong and they fixed it at the same time) my 6MT is absolutely faster now.

 

If two cars trap 100mph, that doesn't mean they are making the same power, it means they have similar power to weight ratios. My old car weighed 4000lbs with me in it and trapped 101mph, it made a whole lot more power than a G35 which traps 101mph...

 

theres too many things that can be happening wit ur stock 05. I have one as well and I was able to give an M3 competition off a roll (40 mph) call it bs but I stayed wit him till we slowed down at 90mph (city streets)


i say practice makes perfect. stop launching so high (4500rpms) and whether you think you are going past redline or not, try SOMETHING else if what youre doing is not working...

the G is damn heavy so be patient_

 

Your shifts are too late. To get maximum acceleration, you want to stay in the torque band. The 1/4 mile is too short to be concerned with top end speed and power. HP is for overall speed, torque is what makes you quick. Also, spinning the tires is a waste of time and delays your launch. Spin them to get them them sticky prior to the launch and then launch at a lower RPM, and gas it AFTER you have full clutch engagement. Your gear changes need to be lightening quick and around 5500 RPM to be at the end of the torque band, just before it starts dropping off. Do not let off the gas while shifting. You should be fast enough on the clutch and shifter to "snap" gears before engine RPM has a chance to respond.

If you drive an automatic and pay attention to the shift points while racing and how the shifts are made, you will see that the auto behaves just as I have described. Thus, you have to be able mimic that with your skill. If driven properly, the stick car will go faster because it loses less power to the rear wheels than an auto does. An auto tranny eats up alot of torque, thus, the 5AT is tuned for more torque than a 6MT, but the results between the two cars is almost identical.

Of course, as someone else said, it's not a dragster. So if your going to bang gears and rev out the engine, expect to be replacing tranny's, rear ends, U-joints, motor mounts, etc in regular intervals. It's a track car.

 

I can't believe the bad advice people are giving... you need to rev that thing out all the way to redline in every gear so the rpm's don't drop off as much when you shift and you get out of your powerband. The only way to confirm that your car is slow is to take it to the track. Then if it does <95mph do a compression test and leakdown test. You may have just got a lemon and it would be wise for you to sell the car if that is so.

 

If you shift at 5500 you will be at ~3500 in the next gear, well below peak torque, in addition to the fact that it's a higher gear so there is less torque multiplication

The 5AT and 6MT have DIFFERENT ENGINES, so how would mimicing the 5AT be a good idea?


THANK YOU

 

^^ plus 2.. It is essential to shift it as close to or at redline in order to stay in the power band in the next gear... I usually shift 1-2 at 6800-7000rpm and every other gear the same... Oh and launching at 4500rpm is not good, chances are you are spinning the hell out of your tires and not going anywhere.. try 2.5k-3k rpm launch feathering the clutch out so you dont bog off the line... I think a 6mt from a roll with a 035at Z should be a win for you unless z is modded... I have ran them and have beat them...

 

He's in AZ, in the summer, and stock to boot. 95mph is more than acceptable, depending on elevation.

 

I would do an ECU reset. Search ECU reset on the forum and you will find the instructions. Its easy to do and might make a difference.

 

It's not acceptable considering he said his previous car, a 6 speed Accord ran 14.3 at 98 stock.

 

The 5AT and 6MT have different engines? i think the engines are the same.....

 

The 05-06 6MT have variable exhaust timing and some internal engine differences, hence the term rev up engines for those years.

 

oh tru tru didnt think of that at all hahaha i was thinking of the 03 since thats what i have. Im positive the 03 5AT and 6MT are the same though.

 

Where? At what altitude? What were the conditions? The fact is we just don't know enough. And neither does the OP.

 

lol...phoenix arizona @ speedworld with a 2.2* 60' and an aem v1 intake on some toyo t1's
