So my motor died...

[Cookie Monster]

When you're used to and want something quicker, 7 is too slow.  And I don't think they even ran 7 flat.  IIRC, they were around a 7.3 second car to 60.

I've always wondered how people have the room and place to run their cars WOT all the way to  60 mph to consider 7 seconds too slow.

[Soup DeVille]

I've heard lots of people claim that their swapped Civic/ITR or Accord/Prelude hybrid "runs 13s on pump gas," or similar claims. When I owned the S2000 (which attracted such cars like flies to honey), I ran a few of them too. None of them were ever near as fast as they claimed to be.

That's not saying that they don't exist, that's just saying what I've seen.

Funny thing about that: the faster your car is, the less room it takes to get to 60.

SVT Focus = 2700lbs

1990-1993 Accord = 3200lbs


SVT Focus = 175HP

Accord = 130HP stock, his is around 140 maybe? Also factor in the loss from his Automatic transmission.

SVTF was 170, not 175. 

And a early 90s Accord was under 3000 lbs.  And I suspect he's got much closer to 200 hp under hood (and a stick, IIRC).

Accord = 200HP H22 Prelude motor + manual transmission.

He didn't do the swap. If so, doing the swap would be pointless since he's decided to buy a more expensive car.

He did do the swap...

[Soup DeVille]

He did do the swap...

Why does it matter?

To prove 206 wrong.

Bullshit, asshole.

Prove it to me in the form of a differential equation.

[2o6]

He did do the swap...

He did? I didn't read anything.............

[Cookie Monster]

Bullshit, asshole.

It makes sense.

[Cookie Monster]

He did? I didn't read anything.............

He bought the car in the first place to do the swap.

[Soup DeVille]

Bullshit, asshole.

Prove it to me in the form of a differential equation.

X  = .5(Vo + V)t

as t decreases, so does x proportionately.

[2o6]

Thinking about it... I could have this car running again for very very very cheap. To put in another Prelude motor and keep the car for any extended period of time would be the definition of insanity. I'm just trying to think of the benefits to keeping this car... I can't think of one. IDK man

No he didn't...............it was his daily driver until the motor blew.

[Cookie Monster]

To put in ANOTHER Prelude motor...

[Soup DeVille]

To put in ANOTHER Prelude motor...

I'm not sure that really counts as a swap then.

[2o6]

To put in ANOTHER Prelude motor...

I cannot read.




Still, speed isn't always everything.

[Cookie Monster]

He already put did the swap and put one in, and that Prelude motor died on him. He was talking about replacing the busted Prelude motor with ANOTHER Prelude motor.

[MX793]

X  = .5(Vo + V)t

as t decreases, so does x proportionately.

a*t = Vf - Vi, not +

[Soup DeVille]

a = Vf - Vi, not +

Vf= Velocity final.

Vo =velocity original.

because velocities are vectors and not scalars, they may be expressed as negatives also, so the standard form is Vo+V

[280Z Turbo]

dx/dt = v(t)

dv/dt = a(t)

[Soup DeVille]

dx/dt = v(t)

dv/dt = a(t)

Do you want to unecessarily complicate it or do you want an equation you can work with easily?

[S204STi]

I've been in stripped down Hondas with JDM sumpinorothers swapped in them making all kinds of power on paper, and they aren't that quick IMHO.

[MX793]

Vf= Velocity final.

Vo =velocity original.

because velocities are vectors and not scalars, they may be expressed as negatives also, so the standard form is Vo+V

From a dead stop (constant acceleration),

x = 0.5 * a * t^2
a = (Vf - Vi)/t

x = 0.5 * (Vf - Vi) * t

Vectors do indeed have positives and negatives depending on your coordinate system.  And in this case, we're really dealing with speeds and not proper vectors anyway.

Let's make it unescessarily complicated...just like my first Physics II prof.

I'm pretty sure that 99% of what I'm learning in Calc 4 could be modeled with much simpler equations.

Fellas, I was joking!

[Soup DeVille]

Wha?

From a dead stop (constant acceleration),

x = 0.5 * a * t^2
a = (Vf - Vi)/t

x = 0.5 * (Vf - Vi) * t

Your variablles: Vi (initial)= 0, Vf(final)=60

My variables: V0 (original)=0, V=60

60-0=60

0+60=60

How the fuck is this confusing you?

Then don't call your variables V!

60-0=60

Because if Vo wasn't 0, then the equation would give a wrong result.
