Those of you with Superchargers... what is your 0-60 times? I did a quick search and couldn't get anything. Do you guys (with SC) reach 60mph in second gear before redline?

I was wondering if anyone got in the 5-5.5 second range.

Anyone with other mods ( CAI/RH/CBE/ReFlash ) what are your 0-60 times?

 

Power does not determine gearing... 60mph will be reached at the same RPM in the same gear weather there is a supercharger or not...

Well according to an online calculator

http://www.wallaceracing.com/0-60_equation.php

with my 1/8 mph time during a run

1/8th Mile Time: 9.595 in seconds
1/8th Mile Speed: 80.48 in MPH


is my 0-60 is 5.33

I'm sorry SMo', but you couldn't be any more wrong.

The supercharger adds a boost in power, so the engine is under a heavier load. It travels through the RPMs much faster than it would without a supercharger, therefore going through the gear faster than it would stock, causing a great increse in acceleration.

If what you said were true, then it would remain true for the other gears, and basically you have no increase in speed at all.

I probably didn't explain this the best, but you should be able to get what I am saying.

Maybe we're wrong but I agree with SMoLiK.

*Just making up some numbers*

If your redline is 8,000RPM and your transmission allows your car to do 140mph @ 8,000RPM, I'm pretty sure although an S/C would get you there much faster your gearing would stay the same.

I could be wrong though

 

WOW..... according to that, my corvette does 0-60 in 3.57 seconds..... that sounds about right. i can only hope my civic ever gets that fast

Your 18 years old, go read a book because your wrong... Thats like saying if you turn the gears in a watch 1/2 turn the hands will hand in a different place then if you turned the gears 1/2 turn extremely quickly...

You are correct that you will go through the gears faster, and you will get an increase in acceleration, but your RPM to MPH ratio will stay the same... Get it, "Gear Ratio"

SMo'

 

and by the way....... ley, you are wrong. the only thing that determines what rpm you are @ at a certain speed is gearing. if what you are saying is true, then every mod anybody did to their car would throw the spedometer and odometer off. just stop and think about how a transmission works. a certain rpm and power is given to it by the engine and through a series of gears it puts out a slower speed than the engine gives it (unless of corse if it is in overdrive) but it gives more torque than originally inputted. if you increase the input power, the only thing that will change is the output power, not the speed. its like 7th grade physics dude. sorry

 

You are totally correct... The gearing does not change unless you physically change the gears...

SMo'

 

so to sum up for the original question, you will never reach 60mph before redline while in second gear unless you magically regear your transmission but you will accelerate faster because the car will have the power to increase the rpm's at a greater rate which does give you a faster 0-60.

 

blue sorry but there right your wrong gearing does not change just because of power

 

I was not debating whether the gearing stays the same or not. I know that.

I thought you were trying to say it goes through the gear the same time so the acceleration is the same. I misunderstood you and you misunderstood me.

Hats off to your "I'm older than you so I know more" mate, and go shove it up your ***. Yes I am 18, but I don't talk out of my ***, if I enter an argument I have some knowledge of what I am referring to. I was raised on car knowledge. I simply misunderstood you.

 

If you misunderstood what I wrote, you should pick up a book and brush up on your reading skills... You may have been raised on car knowledge but obviously it does not help your maturity level, nor does it increase your ability to read... You stated "you couldnt be any more wrong" yet I said nothing other then the fact the gearing does not change...

If you know what your talking about when you enter an argument, know that you understand the point you are arguing against. Lessons learned in time...

Isn't it quite possible he was assuming those who had the supercharger also had a reflash or kpro that raised the redlines, therefore increasing the mph that can be reached in 2nd gear?

 

just curious, a little off track buuuut, what is the stock gearing? like the mph in each gear on revlimiter?

In my vx 1st- 46mph.. 2nd- 85mph..3rd.. unknown &gt;.&lt;

 

I think the owners manual says...

if I owned the car.. Id look &gt;.&lt;

Trying to figure out how me misunderstanding your post and acting upon it correlates to my maturity level. Well actually I don't care anymore. So you are telling me you have never misunderstood anything you read in your life? You must be a genius.

Done with this topic. Sorry for being a douche.

 

Wow, you really have trouble reading dont you... "If you misunderstood what I wrote, you should pick up a book and brush up on your reading skills..." has nothing to do with your maturity level... But as usual, you seem to have trouble knowing what you are arguing about...

Here you go bro, no hard feelings...

If you want the t-shirt let me know...

I dont know what speed each gear goes up to... But I did find this...

Revlimiter or redline? i bet you got kickass gas in that thing.

civic vx 0-60=no stop watch goes that high

 

I think you got your point across... a few times actually. Especially the, "read a book" part.

 

Well, he tryed to act like a smartass, then he came back for more, so I figured I would just set things straight...

Sigh~! So what was the topic again??? j/k
