as the thread said,....

"Yup, it's not a DynoJet and is therefore not directly comparable to what a DynoJet would give.

I estimate the following on a Dynojet....

204 whp stock 87 octane
212 whp stock 93 octane"


and also as the thread said.....

"The small spike at the end doesn't count"


and,.... 8hp gain from 87 to 93 octane,....um...ya think? I don't. Nice try though. :sqnteek:

Regardless of the other factors, there was a ton of talk about this before accord came out.... People were saying 240hp on 87 (crank), 260 hp on 91-93 (crank)....

So I don't think an 8 whp difference is out of the question...

Come on....only a 6% loss in the drivetrain???? 15-17% is the general average. What kind of transmissions is Honda building these days???

well there is a lot of arguement right now, about the issue, as seen on the thread, but people, back in november 2002, when motortrend did a 14.5 @ 98.04mph in the 6spd accord, what kind of Dyno numbers were you expecting from a car that performed like that, with a 3,260lbs curb weight?

anyways, vtec.net should release their numbers any day now......

I guess if they are tuned to burn real lean, to maximise fuel economy, at lower octane, they could respond well to higher octane. I was told the RSX Hondata ECU mod picked up 20whp from fuel map tunning alone.

I don't know jack about track times as they relate to hp/tq numbers, but I do know that if the Accords are pulling 14.5's, they are some great times.

All I gotta say is that if auto 03 coupes are pulling 14.7 with CAI then a 14.5 shouldn't be too hard. I wouldn't be surprised if HOnda is doing the Altima/Maxima thing where they were supposedly different hp but SCC mag was getting better times with Altimas.

The auto 03 v6 can NOT run a 14.7 !!!!!!!!
I have seen two different 03 v6 coupe autos at the track and neither could break 15.2 under normal conditions !!!!
Torqueaholic ran a 14.79 in 28 degrees 0 % humidity, ask him what he ran the other night in 80 degrees .
He was real quick to report that 14.79 but failed to disclose the weather conditions, I have seen my buddies 01 cl type S run a 14.19 in 30 degree temps ( WE NEED TO REPORT TEMPS AND HUMIDITY !!!!!!! so that we know what we are looking at )

Alll these #s are still impressive but come on .... get a real DYNOJET SAE corrected test done and then we will talk.

Realistic #s
03 auto 195 whp 15.2 1/4 mi
03 man. 210 whp 14.8 1/4 mi
both under normal condition, very impressive!!!!!


These are actual #s that I have witnessed NOT MAGAZINE STATS.

A Honda engineer interviewed in USA Today stated that the car would pickup "10HP and 10+ TQ" by upping to premium fuel.

The 195 whp stock auto dynos are also more suggestive of 250HP, not 240HP. 240hp would be more like 186 whp on a dynojet. Both Injen and VTEC.net got around 193-195 whp with premium gas most likely in the tank using dynojet dynos.

Track results? Member ck2000 (at VTEC.net and accordv6.com) got a 15.3 @ 91 with a 2.4xx 60' time on 87 octane. He went back to the track a few weeks later with similar conditions but on premium gas and pulled a 15.0 @ 93 with the same 2.4xx 60'

CarTest estimates are also aligning with all of the above.

I think this is enough evidence to conclude that the engine is de-rated to only 240HP on 87 gas. Makes sense also, since you wouldn't be able to run very aggressive ignition timing on 87 with a 10.0:1 compression ratio. On 93, the higher octane takes care of the knock, more ignition advance can be run, and hence more power and torque.

The only thing we are missing at this point is a direct dyno comparison on the same car and dyno of 87 vs 93. But there is enough other data out there that it would be tough to convince someone to spend $150 on dynos just to show what we already know.

where did you pull those "realistic" numbers from?

stock, an '03 auto should put down 195whp+, and do a 15.0 @ 94.5mph, every single time! check the endless data, on 1/4mile times on the 7th gen section!

we have mag times, and two individual timeslips on the 7th gen forums quoting stock accord 6spds at: 14.5 @ 97-99mph!

keep talking smack! one day, we'll do a couple runs on a day when my ecu isn't BULLSHITTING, and pulling timing! who knows! you might grow to like the styling of my rear tailights! :P

pulling timing????? try 80 degrees !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know your kidding.

Come to union grove tomorrow so i can see your tail lights!!!

BTW , you will need to race in the 13's for me to see your taillights.

here is my take...

As a 2003 Accord V6 Coupe owner I was able to run these times.

Temp: 78 degrees
Loacation: Indianapolis Raceway Park
Time of day: Late afternoon

ET: 15.1
Trap speed: 92.5mph
launch: 1k rpm
60 foot time: 2.3
Mods: Injen CAI and full tank of 92 oct fuel
tire pressure: 25psi (bog off line)
shifting style: left in D3 with computer doing all shifting
Miles at time of track: 1,300
total runs: 2
Average of two runs: 15.14@92.4mph


Hope this all helps

hmm....... reasons why you sucked, and everyone else on our site, has been faster......

1. wrong tire pressure
2. high temperature(78 degrees)
3. "off-idle" launching!
4. miles on the car: 1,800.

:P

Tool,
What point are you attempting to argue. First you say he can't run 14.7 than you said he can. I know it was flukey with the temperature, but it was done wasn't it? Why can't it be 28 degrees again? Not all cars and conditions are created equal. Maybe if you ran in 28 degree weather you'd break 13s.

My point is that it WAS 28 degrees and he never mentions it , he acts like its a mid 14 second car at any time !!! Then these other guys go to the track including himself and they cant do better than a15.1 or 15.2. Then he talks all this crap how the new accord is quicker than the Cl s and its NOT!!!!!!!!! We proved it to him 3 nights ago and we will prove it again tonight!!!!!
I will post all our times tonight at around midnight central time.
I dont know what its gonna take to prove this to him, the other night when he coulnt break 15.2 he blamed it on his ecu pulling timing !?!?!?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

guys post their times online without environmental conditions all the time! some run in like colorado with high elevation, and post online, that their car is shitty! Honestly I didn't know about all this stuff! that was only my 2nd time ever drag racing! and my first time ever at byron! tonight, I need you to take a pic of my timeslip! you can post that online as well as all the other info! it will be 40degrees or < tonight, so I have no doubt in my mind, I'll see GREAT times! that personal best, may become part of history!

actually, andy it was more like low to mid 40's!!! I sure of this because, I only had a sweater on! like no one had a jacket, and it was windy as hell! 25mph gusts if I remember correctly, so It wasn't that cold of a day! There was a black '03 Nissan maxima there, which had mods+ 6spd, and it couldn't break 14.7 all night long! I talked to the guy, and he's from maxima.org, and he said, he had done a best of 14.4 with his mods, previously at byron! so, that tells me that the cold weather doesn't MAGICALLY affect the VQ engine, huh? must be just VTAK!

thats because the gearing on the new accord's tranny puts down more power efficently to the wheels than the cls tranny. the cl tranny loses (5spd) too much power during the transfer to the wheels

actually the new accord is pretty fast. i don't know if its fast as the cls but my brother bought one like 2 months ago? not sure... but it is quick. haven't raced him though.... high end picks up real good. kind of a delay when you floor it? not sure why though.. the cl feels much more fun to drive that i know for sure
