Well... i picked a bad weekend to go to one of the tracks close by.. but I went anyways..

It was Nova Scotia Drag Racers Association (NSDRA) finals there this weekend... so 240 cars racing....

Only got 2 runs in..

13.3 @ 109mph
2.0 60ft
1.4 reaction time

second one was
12.9@111mph
2.1 60ft
.83 reaction...

Was improving alot, and this was my first time racing with slicks, and first time racing my car boosted....

I was pleased, im hopin for low 12s, high 11s after some practice.... 2 runs just doesnt cut it..

nice your making some good power on low boost what turbo are you using? with some more practice you should definatly see better times !

Topdawgg

Heres the setup

B18a block 81.5mm bore
Wiseco 9.4:1 Pistons
Eagle H Beam rods
ARP Head studs


jdm b16a head
94-01 GSR cams
AEBS Intake MAnfold
RC 750cc injectors
GM 3 bar map sensor

Garrett T304E 60 Trim .63 A/R
TIAL 38mm wastegate..
custom ram style manifold
3 inch DP
3 inch Catback
Precision 350hp intercooler

the wastegate is set at 8psi.... and it creeps to around 11-12 in vtec

Nice set up why the boost creep though with a tial?

Topdawgg

not too sure, could be the flow in my manifold, could be the vaccuum source not close enough to the turbo

komat

what slciks are you using. your 60ft should be lower

Its not the wastegate that makes it creep, its the wastegate placement on the manifold.

Topdawgg

my slicks were 22x8's on 13 inch bmw wheels... at about 16psi of pressure....

M/T drags

spooncivic1

turn that **** up!!! 400whp isn't out of the question...that would be hunting territory for high 10's

komat

are you building boost off the line?

EARLdaSQUIRREL

with that trap times youd be very very lucky to hit 11's but low 12's aren't out of the question

Topdawgg

this is also one of the slower tracks in my region.... it is slightly up hill and there are 2 other faster tracks...

lower the tire psi..start off around 10 then work your way down

Topdawgg

like i said, first time racin with slicks, and first time racin a boosted honda..... so it was all trial and error.... little things i can work on

Same slicks, same power level i ran consistant 1.8 60's. That was my first time out so im sure there is room for improvment. I noticed running about 8psi in my slicks and launching at 7500rpm worked best.

What were your 1/8 times?

Topdawgg

lemme run down to the car and grab my 2 slips

Topdawgg

just had my 1/8th mph, no times for the 1/8

. absolutely. i run my drag radials at 10psi.
when you go and do a burnout, you increase the pressure in the tire because it heats up and expands (not much but still).

for the creep, its a mix of wastegate placement and design. i used to get some creep, and my wg hole out of the manifold was no where near the 1.5" it shoulda been.

i think you'll wind up being consistant in the low 12's, but its gonna take some time. it took me about 10-12 passes to work out some different things and become consistant in the mid 12's. trial and error, seat time are your friends. practice makes perfect!

mra4886

what was the 1/8mile mph then. and yes some improvement needed. with that reaction time.

Topdawgg

86.21 first run 1/8 mph

89.16 2nd run 1/8 mph

Bammm.....fast turbo Civic

with those mphs you were probaly in the mid 8's

Topdawgg

good, bad 1/8th mile?

HamiltonRex

slick pressure too high.. 60fts hurting you. Tire pressre at 7psi. I had similar traps as you, good for mid 12's.
