i had some private runs with my race crew last night. i raced my friend with a b16a swap in his civic with body kit and 17s. he just installed a NX 50 shot the other day. off the line, he got a good launch with his 2step rev limiter. after that, he pretty much hung with me. im boostin 5lbs on my b18b. lately, my races have been too close. i usually spank their *** but im havin trouble maintainin these days. is it me.. or are cars around me just gettin faster?

one things for sure... ever since i got these stock rims with michelin tires... ive been havin crappy *** traction in first and second gear. im gettin new tires in a week so im not trippen.

i have the basic setup:
-stock internals
-2.5 exhaust
-DRAG3 kit
-ACT HD 6 puck
-Weapon*R coilovers

besides a Quaife LSD and Z10 traction bars... what upgrades do you recommend to get the most performance?

i was thinkin about gettin some KYB AGXs and a MSD unit. any mods youve added to your boosted teg to give you performance that works?

 

Why not hondata and more boost? Just a thought.

 

its a little too costly for my budget rite now.

 

more boost and AEM EMS
i think u can get a lot out of your setup if u tune it properly. get bigger injectors and fuel pump also.

thats what girlfriends are for.

 

I just up graded my stock injectors to RC 310cc and i installed an 8:1 disk in my FMU (B18B Drag III). Now i am boosting 7 psi at low and 9 psi high boost with my profec B. Maybe you can try upgrading your injectors. Fuel pressure is still high but not as high as "stock" set up...ie., 12:1 with stock injectors.

 

hahah she doesnt have a job yet... but at least she tries to cover things like food, drinks at the club, and other misc. stuff. stuff like that adds up!

 

yeh, i was thinkin about doin that. did you notice if your fuel mixture is still rich? i just wanna make sure im better off with the 310s and 8:1. i dont wanna make it any richer than it already is. ya know what i mean? any noticable difference in how your car ran under boost with the 310s? any idle problems?

 

Save some money. That's what I've been doing. Getting whooped on my various cars or cutting it close in races just motivates you to save more. I like to think, "just wait until I get my Hondata!"

 

thats just the way it is. everytime i try to tell myself to quit spendin money on my car, i change my mind when i lose. its addicting tryin to keep up on the competition. its hard to save money when i have none. haha

i like to think "just wait til i get my motor built, biotch."

 

Pistons, rods, hondata, fuel system upgrade

 

how much power are you putting down??

I think the cheapest way would be to get some more fuel and turn up the boost.

..and remember, upgrade for yourself, not just to beat somebody in a faster car. There will always be someone faster.

i havent dyno'd it yet. i will soon, though.

i know theres always gonna be someone faster than me. for now... i just wanna eliminate as many slower people that i can.

 

anymore suggestions?
