# Be proud of a VE Auto doing a 15.44 in the 1/4 --->

Posted by Aaron (92 SE Auto) on June 21, 2002 at 12:45:47:

I went to the maxima meet in Fayetteville, NC last night. Here are my new best numbers:

R/T .284
60' 2.417
330' 6.591
1/8 10.006
72.46 mph
1/4 15.441

1992 Maxima SE Automatic
APC Cone Filter
WSP Y-pipe
ASP UDP
Advanced Timing
1/3 tank of 93 octane
spare tire out
moderate torque brake
Left it in D
My engine temp needle was just slightly above the letter "C".

The temperature was about 70 degrees with about 70% humidity. I ran my time without almost no wind. The track was gripping pretty good. Not bad at all.

I let my engine warm up later that night to the same conditions as it would be in normal city driving and I ran a 16.16 @ 86.85 mph and a 16.24 @ 86.73. So, once again the VE suffers from heat soak.

Oh yeah, please disreguard my R/T. I had a chance to win $150 if I could cut a perfect bulb and I tried WAY too hard. Got too excited! lol

      - Thanks for breaking it down for me--> Aaron (92 SE Auto) 22:49:27 6/21/2002 (0)
    - What was your 60' time on the 15.5? Wasnt it like 2.3? nm James (92 SE auto) 19:44:11 6/21/2002 (1)
      - It was a 2.39 w/ 15.50 and a 2.41 w/ 15.44 n/m Aaron (92 SE Auto) 22:05:55 6/21/2002 (0)
- very nice.... Chris91se (91se) 14:40:49 6/21/2002 (1)
  - I was thinking more along the lines of Y2K catback and VB mod n/m Aaron (92 SE Auto) 16:10:46 6/21/2002 (0)
- Sweet... James (92 SE auto) 14:38:16 6/21/2002 (10)
  - Since I am running low 16's with a warm engine, there were Civics running that time easy. It pisses me off--> Aaron (92 SE Auto) 16:13:08 6/21/2002 (2)
    - Nope, VTC's fixed the noise and top end. This issue shouldn't be called a "heat soak" problem though... RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 16:32:03 6/21/2002 (1)
      - I've done this sort of engine work on domestic engines, but not my VE. Thanks RosenKen. n/m Aaron (92 SE Auto) 17:52:24 6/21/2002 (0)
  - Have you guys replaced your knock sensor? It goes bad after 10+ years! n/m RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 14:50:21 6/21/2002 (6)
    - Is there any way to tell if the KS is for sure bad? I mean I dont want to waste the time/money if I'm not eve sure it's bad =) nm James (92 SE auto) 17:26:46 6/21/2002 (0)
    - Ah! I've been looking for you. You changed yours and it fixed the heat soak sluggishness?? n/m Jeff92se (92se) 14:51:15 6/21/2002 (4)
      - Nope, but when the problem got better after I advanced my timing, I added it all up... RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 15:04:05 6/21/2002 (3)
        - It could be the KS is more sensitive when old. It does indeed pull the timing way back. Ecu should only do something when the KS sends a singal though n/m Jeff92se (92se) 15:14:27 6/21/2002 (2)
          - By the way, a new KS is about $124 from Courtesy n/m RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 15:26:15 6/21/2002 (0)
          - Well I've never heard a ping on my engine, and I am running 91. KS's are known to cause hesitation when bad. n/m RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 15:25:40 6/21/2002 (0)
- cool, but what's the 72.46mph is that the 1/8? n/m Bret (89SE) 13:18:34 6/21/2002 (1)
  - My bad, I left out my trap speed ... it's 15.44 @ 89.67 mph... yeah 72mph is 1/8 n/m Aaron (92 SE Auto) 13:20:11 6/21/2002 (0)
