if there is anyone on here with a civic si, 99-00, what kinda rpm's do yall launch at?

 

Hey Kenisis boy....say hey to sung and the gang!

 

i launch my turbo si at 5500.. and i launch my friends si (stock tires w/ intake/exhaust) at about 4500. both cars i let the clutch out slowly with gradual throttle progression so the wheels only spin a bit and never drop below the initial rpm

 

what u launch at will determine many things like.....what tires u have....track conditions....how much power your car has. It will be different for everyone.

 

yea thats what im doing now....except at around 4k

 

The main thing that affects my launch is the fact I drive to the track.........and have to drive home. I'm a 3500-3700 and ride the clutch A LITTLE kind a guy

 

I know soemone with an SI who revs it to 7900RPM's and dumps the clutch. He's running slicks of course. Lenso's with 22x8-13 M&H's. Those B16's dont have enough torque

 

I usaully launch at 2500-3000 and dump the clutch on street tires. with slicks as close to red line as possible.

 

00 civic si ....i dump the clutch at 3000-3500..i think it works pretty good...i think most should try and practice a launch without wheel spin..but pracitcing breaks things...just my thoughts.....

oh yeah thats launching with steelies..crappy tires

 

You drive a '00 SI and you have steelies? Did someone steal your factory wheels?

 

theyve been jacked before but i bought new ones and i sold them about a month ago so i dont have rims to roll on.....now im awaiting these https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=218556 ....i sent the money and im just waiting for him to get his rims and then they are mine....

 

I launched my old gsr at like 5k....I can only imagine what it would be like on the lil b16

 

i drop my clutch at like 5500 in my car......a lil wheel spin....and sometimes even bogs bad.....i dunno, practice makes perfect but also does break things like CircuitSi said.....

 

I launch around 3700-4000 with a straite drop, but when feathering I do it around 4800-5000. work's good. Stock Si tires suck!

 

You're kidding be right?
