i need to know what the quarter mile time for a stock CL-P is. my friend has a volvo s60 2.4t and he keeps claiming he can take me in a race. besides a race i want to know our quarter mile time so i can shove it in his face...

 

15.3-15.6...on average. Your results may vary.

Empty your tank and remove all unnecessary weight.....oh......and keep the heater on full blast to remove as much heat from the engine compartment and coolant as possible.

....and a 2.4t is usually 15.8-16.1.

 

Well I have CAI, Pulleys, and Denso, I ran a 14.83 in a 45degree houston night, and ran a 15.1 in a hot 90degree with 100% humid night! and the car has 1/2 tank of gas, and i am 140lbs!
Hope this help a bit!

 

hey Satin, i saw ur sign have headers, how do they performed on the car??? Cuz i am thinking to get them, i know they do have LOTS of gain on a TypeS, but i wonder how good will it be on the CLP? What you think?? Worth the money? whats the biggest different when you driving around, like what rpm or whatsoever?? Thanks alot!!!

 

Actually, headers on a Type-S (J32a2) are much more effective.....estimated 15-17 hp gross to a std 3.2 and up to 30hp gross to a Type-S. The tuned induction increases air into the engine as well as increases to scavenging of exhaust gases. Therefore, the Type-S engine can utilize the volume of the headers more efficiently.

To answer your question:

1) No, headers are the single worst mod you can make to a standard 3.2 on a dollar-to-hp basis. Makes more noise than power. It does make a difference......but not at $75.00/hp. Save your cash and use it on new wheels.

2) A short-ram with heat shield is more effective on our car (unlike CAI on a Type-S) There are physiscs involved that I sorta understand. However, with all intakes if you tell me you can feel 3-5 hp......you're full of shit. $120.00 is worth it for the sound and lifetime filter alone.

3) Denso Iridium's are pricey (6-8/plug) but really help with throttle response.....not power.

In short: the CL-P is not far off a Type-S stock.......but I don't think my mods were worth the cash. Spend it on wheels/tires/srpings/sways.

 

what do pulleys do?

 

They spin really really fast when you start your engine, and they are covered with belts that are actually driving the camshafts and internals inside your engine. You pretty much need them to drive your car with.

 

I am thinkin about gettin an AEM cold air intake! You think this is worth the $225 price??????????

 

i got my blue aem intake for 220...they wanted 305 before i told them that the other guy down the street would do it for 225...

 

YES, and maybe u cant feel ur short ram but I certainly feel my CAI, wat makes u think the s-ram is better anyhow? all the dynos ive seen say otherwise (on TL-P's on the TL board)

 

Hi guys,

I want to get an AEM short ram intake for my 2001 CL Type S. AEM doesn't list it on their website, only for the 3.2 CL. I'm assuming that it should fit exactly the same way, but can someone verify this for me? I love the sound of the short ram.... =)

Thanks!
Dave

 

they make one for the typeS, do NOT get the one for the premium because the typeS has a larger throttle body, and actually it is on AEM's website, heres a dyno even

BTW, I was at Englishtown on Sat. (9/8) and there was a CL-P running. HIs fastest time was 15.8. I don't remember the trap speed....
