For those that remember my last battle out with a g coupe, the second should happen tonight.
This time thought, the setup will be different. The g has an injen intake and i have a UR crank installed. If the intake has helped him much (he says he didnt feel anything), i dont think i can take him. I felt my pulley but it was not that much of a difference. Any ways, it will be nice to see how the TLS goes up against the infiniti. Especially now that the G is modded too. Check my mods in the sig below.
(MODS: i know this shouldnt be posted here, but i know everyone is interested in our cars vs. the g's) so let this one roll for a bit!, thanks)

I will post results later tonight!!!

 

u beat it yet??

 

good luck

 

Good luck man. Cant wait to hear the results.

 

if the G is an automatic u should take it

 

RESULTS ARE IN:

First let me give some details:
G35C auto w/ injen VS. TL-S w/ i/h/cpulley

I beat him pretty much everytime!!!!
First two races, by end of 2nd (about
75), i am a full car ahead. Third gear ireally pull away. I mean ALOT. by end of third (110), he is 2 cars+ behind. I say plus because it was PROBABLY more, but i cant tell from where i am. All i know is third is where i usually would edge him out, and now its even stronger.
We made a total of 9 runs. 7 wins for TLS, 2 for the G coupe.
One of the race i lost because i launched like crap(got lazy) and i forgot to put in SS. He ran in SS most of the time, except for the first race.

We also did 20 mph rolls, i won by 2 cars each time by 80 mph.

Overall i am so happy and impressed. Still, i give the g coupe much props and it is very fast. Darrin thinks these G's are easy to beat, they are not. You really have to pay attention with our cars.

 

Good runs man!

 

i wanna race u with my g35 sedan with just an intake

 

im game! i come down to encino area on weekends usually. pm me and we can set something up.

but wait, if you just have intake, do you mind me asking why? the coupe has 20 more hp to begin with. unless you are manual, then that would be interesting. btw, which intake?

 

mine is also 5at................i have a blitz intake
just give me a call (818)207-5427............
i am off next weekend october 11,12
just give me a call

Nice kill!

 

Sweet. Guess those G35c's aren't invincible after all. Nice kill.

 

Nice runs!

 

*scratches my head*..

honestly, I don't think there's much to be proud of. You're talking about a rather heavily modded TL-S (i/h/pullies) to a G35C w/ just intake. Well i know a kill is a kill, but if the G35 were to put in the same amount of mods as the TL-S, there's no question that the G35 would win.

 

I was thinking the same thing. The TL-S has all of the major bolt-ons and the G35c has just an intake... which, as we all know... doesn't add a significant amount of power. I would EXPECT the TL-S to win every time when they're lined up with mods like that....

but... I guess a kill is a kill!!

 

Yeah but the G35c already comes with 20 more hp than the TLS. That almost cancels out the headers. I thought their intakes gave them more of a gain then ours not to mention the G is lighter. You can state a lot of differences but personally I think its an overall good match and would expect the cars to be similar.

 

Way to piss in the mans corn flakes. Negative people I tell you

Hell I'll race a Pinto and still be happy Congratulations man.

 

Hey, this isn't far from me - PM me when you guys set something up... I'll come watch

 

I dunno bout that one. From what I've heard, the headers on a TL-S/Cl-S gives 30WHP (Wouldn't that make out to be about 40-50 HP gain at the crank?). Add on the Intake and Pulley, and your past the G35C HP level for sure. Maybe I'm wrong though. By the way good kill.

 

BTW, I hightly doubt headers give 30hp. LOL

 

30hp at the wheels... multiplied by 23% drivetrain loss (some people say it's 20%, others say it's 25%, so we'll split it) would equal about a 6.9hp difference which would be about 37hp at the crank.

 

Do a search bro.... Dyno results have consistantly shown anywhere from 26 to 32 HP gained at the wheels for headers.....

 

Nice runs Power3dfx. BTW, I've been meaning to ask you; did you ever work for 3DFX? I made a lot of money off them when they first went public. Too bad they lost the marketing battle with Nvidia. I was ready to buy a Voodoo5 6000 but it never went into production.

(Though, this doesn't bother me as much now that ATI is kicking Nvidia's hindpart).

 

Oh I see now...thanx...So with just headers it would be pushing about 296.9HP at the crank give or take a few HP. Thats damn good with only that one mod. What did they put a restrictive manifold/headers on those cars or something?

 

That's my thoughts as well. Plus, even with all of the TL-S' mods, it's still cheaper!
I have a similar result here with someone in my office complex. They, however, have a G35c that is manual with an upgraded air-filter of some sort. Exact same result except the G gets me off the line to about 50mph or so before I catch up and pass to 110mph by only 1 or 2 car lengths...Same overall result though. Stock for stock is still no match unless he's asleep at the wheel...

 

dynos are here: http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/forum...s=&forumid=138

Check mine in the sig below.

 

I thought the way everyone always talks about G35C being so awsome that even a mildly moded TLS would take a minimally moded G35C . . . I mean the stats on that car with an intake should hang with at TLS that starting out over 1/2 sec or more slower . . .


I guess some people will just whine to whine. :P

Just like the guys who thought the SC430 would own me and I just have an intake . . . problem is most folks don't give the TypeS enough kudos and the others they bow to . . .

So here's to whipping up on one.

But I am jealous because I've not had the opportunity to race one yet.

the tl-s has i/h/p. the g35 has intake, .3L more displacement, 20 more hp (stock), and rwd.

sounds pretty fair to me.

 

Very well said.

 

Z350 dyno more than G35 by 10-15lbs all the way to 5500 rpms. After that it is almost equal. I noticed that in both cases A/F will become too rich.. The VQ35 may benefit from some headers

The Z350 is 200-250 lbs lighter than a G35.

 

aq,
i never worked for 3dfx, just an enthusiast from back in the day and i never changed my email. interesting that you caught that, no one has ever noticed.

let me put it this way. before pulley, i only lost by 1/2 car. after pulley (and after his intake), i was able to PULL every time. The only time he can pull is if he really stresses the tranny at launch, i mean ALOT.
the reason we did the roll races was my choice really. i think at about 20 mph, the true test of power is shown. any higher than that and gear ratios play too much of a role.
a 2k2 maxima was also racing the gcoupe. i was right behind the g coupe the whole race. btw, the max was killed by about 4 cars length by the G. i would of raced the max too but i figured the g35 was showing me the result i would achieve.
i will not be able to race him ever again tho, he is putting 20's on the ride pretty soon, and pretty much making it a pimp ride instead.

allmotor,
i much rather have you watch then join in

 

nice kills congrats on the win bro, i know u would win

so the crank pulley made that much of a difference in the races??

 

it is only a tenth (or two if youre lucky) better. not much but yes it will definately help.

 

Great kill on the G. With my 03 auto CLS with intake and exhaust I got smoked by a stock G auto last week on the freeway as I lost by 3 to 4 cars. BTW what do run 1/4 at the tracks

 

never been. my only limiting factor is launching the car, otherwise this tl just likes to move. so i guess i should achieve what most here have with these mods, somewhere between 14.2-14.4
what i am more interested in more is to see which is faster: my stock gs4 or modded TLS

 

I still have my Righteous 3D (one of the best product names ever) from circa 1996. This is the card that started 3D gaming.

Well, I mean this respectfully and not to detract from your kill, but by going from a roll you're also negating a lot of the torque adantage of the VQ. VQ35s don't do as well at the top end, and certainly don't carry the power all the way to redline as well as Hondas or Bimmers. Evidence to support this was discovered by the folks who have the ECU reflash for the VQ. As an example of this, Nissan has the VQ running at an A/F mixture of 10.5 before redline.

Again, that's not to detract from a well-earned kill.

 

My point exactly! Don't forget the 100lbs or so lighter.

 

surprisingly,
from a launch, he cant pull on me usually. our 1st gear seems to be strong enough to keep up with the torque of the VQ. i thought he should pull on me because of torque, but it never happened.
btw, at 20, you are above 3k rpms, and it takes almost no time to get the car into vtec, so a rolling start really does show power difference

 

heh mine does.

that would be interesting, i'd guess the tl-s is quicker by a hair, but the gs wil prolly get out the hole quicker w/ rwd
