Re: Critics, Comments welcome. 12sec single cam
never had any issues with the oil pump although iv considered it quit a few times. Just put a new ebay cast iron manifold on it to get rid of the adapter so the oil drain would b straight up and not burn oil at startup. Still running great though and im still driving it everyday

Re: Critics, Comments welcome. 12sec single cam
No I sure havnt, I got kids lol. I did however figure out what was wrong with my boost controller. According to hondata instructions I was suppose to wire n a diode and I did and now they recommend against it so I took it out and have absolute control over boost. I was looking to run 19psi at the strip but could never get it to run over 15. So I'm assuming I might get into high 11s with the extra hp or mayb low low 12s

Re: Critics, Comments welcome. 12sec single cam
You'll get into the 11's with more seat time.
Welfare tuned my car last year, took me 20ish passes with nearly the same tube to get into the 11's. Started the year out with 12.5's on 17psi, got it down to 11.7, same boost. Stock Z6 head, stock Si gearing, 2390lbs EG Si, 23x8 MH's with 7psi.

Re: Critics, Comments welcome. 12sec single cam
How much boost are you building off the line? And what are you launching at? You should be able to get into 11's with a better 60ft. A mid-high 1.7 60ft should get you around the 11.99-12.0 mark.
You guys are comparing MPH but that is totally dependant on powerband and the weight of the car. I had an ebay kit on a stock gsr with just a 1st gen skunk2 manifold on 8psi and went 12.24@114 and only made 286whp.

Re: Critics, Comments welcome. 12sec single cam
Of course there's more factors, I did that 11.84 @114 with 308. I actually went 11.74@114 that same night.
I will agree, some short track work and you'll hit 11's.

Re: Critics, Comments welcome. 12sec single cam
im not using any kind of anti lag, just revving to 8k preloading and dumping the clutch. Im using circle track tires as slicks which honostly work great, i dont spin much at all if any. I thought about trying to set up anti lag just to see but it is my only car and i felt that might be too much for the turbo. Not that i cant just order a ebay turbo for 100 bucks new to replace it if need be.

Re: Critics, Comments welcome. 12sec single cam
I'll back you up there; there really is no need for antilag in your car at all, the turbo is too small to benefit from it. I'm actually a bit shocked you're able to pull off the 60's you're getting with stiff circle track tires.
you say you're just revving to 8k. are you using a launch control rpm limiter so you can control manifold pressure on the launch? or just throttling to 8k with no limiter?

Re: Critics, Comments welcome. 12sec single cam
nope nothing new. I put a chinese manifold on it to get rid of the adapter i was running. Iv been through a few headgaskets since...seems like a yearly thing for me lol and im using the nonvtec composite hg just to fill in any warpage I may have in the 330k mile head and who know on the y8 block I pulled out a junkyard several years ago. Iv now surpassed 100k miles on the turbo since i got it back in 2011. Iv been to the track twice since then and have ran the exact same time minus a mph.
I have a d16a6 i might be getting and i plan to run a t3t4 on it with a decent cam to hopefully hit 350hp or so on the stock bottom end

Re: Critics, Comments welcome. 12sec single cam
It's still around still running the same trap speed but I havnt been able to get more slicks and the ones I had r now junk and just slowing me down..oh and it gets 43mpg daily. I did put a long gear trans in it. 87mph n 2cnd and it didn't effect my trap speed at all

Re: Critics, Comments welcome. 12sec single cam
nice.. had similar setup as you except it was a stock internal jdm d15b vtec with a greddy kit looooooong time ago maybe 10 years ago. it also ran similar time as you 12.2@115mph ej chassis except i had a/c and ps 22x8x13in slicks 255whp 18psi 15g turbo 93 octane. I also boosted y series motors. the worst single cams to boost. hope you have a back up plan be prepared for rod knock. or rod through the block.

Re: Critics, Comments welcome. 12sec single cam
My last y8 lasted 5 years and I do about 15k a year so hopefully I'll get the same out of this one. I would love to have the Greddy downpipe and manifold as that seems to be the only ones I've seen to allow clearance for ac. That's a awesome time for 10psi I'm running like 17
