this is noob question but whatever , highschool drags is coming up and i know im going but when im racing should i shift at the highest rpm them motor is a stock GSR header and intake, but i wondering this question for awhile because it seems like at about 7000rpm it doesnt keep on pulling hard or maybe it does but how should i shift in a race what would give the best e/t times?

 

Dude take it to redline 8100.

 

take off the rev limiter and go to 9000

 

WELL OKAY THANKS ! i knew that would a stupid post and i knew i wouldnt get any real answers THanks for you sarcasm

 

no seriously..take it to redline, its there for a reason, honda tuned the car with the appropriate redline

 

um.. those was realistic answer retard! when you race a gsr you shift at 8000-8200(fuel cut off), i thought everyone and there mama knew that..

 

agree

 

take it 8100rpm and you should be fine..im going to Spokane Raceway tonight!!!! LOL

 

umm do you have a stock cluster? if its all stock shift at the stock redline which should be 8200...and if you say your car doesnt pull after 7000rpm then something is definetly wrong.

man, cant get more of a noob question than this...

 

I actually answered you seriously, but I think you should go study linguistics instead of going to the track while you are still in school. There's your sarcasm...kinda.

 

this makes me wonder when the thread will come up one day "HELP!!!! How do you drive a standard car?" hahahahah

 

ahahah funny

 

no the next thread from this kid is gonna be

"totaled integ pics" - cuz he dont know how to drive
or
"F/S Blown B18c1 350obo" - again cuz he dont know how to drive

y u going to race ur stock gsr?

my highschool was ballin' w/ cars

had 1 m3, ws6, cobra, 300zx tt, u get the idea

my old gst was getting roased

ur school must have some lame riced out neons

 

11,000 ull hit 9's

 

aight whatever **** you guys, i was just confused if redlining it was nessecary but yeah i know judging somebody else makes you a better person...btw yeah i am a ****ing noob idc

 

Relax noob, your going to get banned if you keep it up! But yes shift at 8,100, and if that GSR is having issues at 7,000 RPM, I wouldn't be racing it, unless you want to get clowned on, cuz you blew up on the track!

 

all those cars you mentioned arent even in a GSR's class. You cant compare a ****in $30,000 car to a $5,000 integra. With a gsr you race swapped hatches, new si civics, type S, stock wrx, stock gst, V6 ***** like tiberons etc etc. Thats what I did when i was bolt ons.

 

Stock redline on a '94-01 GS-R is 8100.

When to shift depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

For the fastest rate of acceleration, wait until it's approaching redline, and shift as close to redline as you can.

For the maximum fuel economy, shift at the lowest RPM you can which doesn't result in lugging the engine after the upshift.

 

ok thanks thats more of what i wanted to hear! yeah and INACCURATE your a lil dumb for comparing cars that have nothing to do with honda/acura

 

leave him alone. take that bitch to 8100-8200 but dont double clutch granny shift. Thats what vin diesel told me.

 

This.

A stock B18C1 doesn't have a traditional "optimal" shift point for acceleration because the power doesn't drop enough before redline.

 

haha. Also be careful not to blow the welds on the intake!

 

<--- Not is a good mood.

 

they all said it already if it doesn't pull at 7k then something must be wrong...the gsr power band ends at 7600 i believe but take it up to 8k and your v-tec should scream at 6k...just shift fast and don't grind..that is basically it to get a good shift

 

I Lol'd...
