15 second aveo?

[thehunterooo]

My main goal with the aveo is to be able to crack a 15 in the 1/4 mile, or has been my goal for a long while. Using my own numbers/caculations and a nifty little tool online I found that at my tire size, and at a 2300 weight (aveo comes in at 2287 something, and i will be removing things) with 135 whp its shooting me times like 14.87 (i found it to be at 14.70 myself, btw I am at sea level). That is of course with a manual and such, but I think I am close number wise, comparable cars running at 15's have more hp but also weigh over 1000 pounds more in some cases.

On the side, the new aveo should be at around 16 seconds or less I am guessing.

This is just saddening. My WRX (car before my Aveo) was a 12-second car, now I'm in a car that people are "trying" for 15 seconds?? hahahahahahaha

Oh man, this is definitely keeping me out of trouble!

[thehunterooo]

lol you get what you pay for :P

this is with the 1.6 though, for 10 grand you can have 12sec or less aveo

[Daox]

Its completely doable. Got a plan to get there?

[thehunterooo]

it banks on the 3rd gen (if things are swapable) but I am looking to get the transmission swap up in PA, while adding a set of higher duration cams, header, finishing the exhaust, the underdrive pulley, the cam and crankshaft pulleys. It is the AM so I think I am missing parts, but I still need to caculate what this would get me.

Of course I plan on remvoing my A/C system, the backseat and other useless things, my golden wieght is 2300 pounds, well, I could lose some wieght myself :P

Cams for a N/A engine is where the power is at. Remember that the redline is 6500rpm therefore they shiuld be ground to give you good power before that. Porting the exhaust side of the head will also help. Unfortunately, not much can be done to the intake. A custom intake manifold would be sweet, but wil mostlikely screw up the ECU... unless you go with a stand alone system... I would use a piggyback, don't have to worry about getting the timing and ignition setup... just need to compensate for fuel.

yeah, adding the cams in is the only way to get any kind of major power besides forced induction, im willing to go as far as rabbit will take me :P

I assumed that with the new cams, the redline would increase? Or the whole power curve shifts up instead?

Already looked into intake manifolds with rabbit a while ago, would be a great upgrade

[petrified.rabbit]

Redline is set in the computer, if you want the cams to match the power curve you need to match that to the computer. And doing so gives you the chance/ability to move or eliminate redline.

If your going as far as i would take it, and money is no object, ill start shopping for a solstice gxp for your drivetrain swap..

[thehunterooo]

that would be sick with a rwd aveo :P

that would run...$________

[reddemonx92]

probably the same or more as the cobalt swap lol. but for hunter to actually have all that money is kind of not likely lol jk.
