Thanks

tararan

mine was somewhere in between 6-8 sec.. not really accurate cuz i just the stop watch on my blitz turbo timer.......

there must be something wrong then

i can't seem to launch good....

my tires spins a bit.. then the car would be slow picking up
it would start moving around the 2500 to 3000 RPM... which kind of sucks...

I launched at around 3500 RPM...

10 seconds? 60mph?

My naturally aspirated Civic did 0-60mph (estimated calc) in 4.1 seconds on slicks. Somethings wrong with your setup.

its all about traction....if you have shitty street tires and just buuurrrrnnn its going to take a few mins to get to 60....

bryant

TurBoXBirD16

wow so your na civic is faster 0-60 then a Lamborghini Diablo which runs 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, and also runs the 1/4 in 12.2 sec............

DUCK COMMANDER

i think that someone can't count. try it again. its probally moe like 5-7. Mine went 0-60 with just a header and intake in 6.7 on Gtech

TurBoXBirD16

it's a sohc turbo....
not dohc, ok???


i wasn't stepping i on the floor also....

I hope it will turn out better

i ran a 8.81 at 79.8mph for a trap...0-60 i'm not sure where that would put me.

TurBoXBirD16

you will probably in the 6 seconds for 0 - 60 MPH...

****.. what's wrong with my car !!??

HybridKOOP

Technically yes and no. My N/A Civic did consistent 12.80's@107mph but on slicks. The Lambos numbers are done on street tires, he would eat me alive on the street. But as far as my 0-60mph time was, it was accurate. On 22x8x13 inch slicks, I was in 1st and 2nd gear for all of a couple seconds or so...

EDIT: Take a look if you'd like... nothing special, but it shows how quick I went thru 1st and 2nd gear (filmed at Gainesville, FL) http://www.endlesstrance.com/LouisLSVTEC.mpeg

If your from JAX and you used to drive a white 2 dr civic i know who you are and if thats the case then I can vouch for this guy. thats a fast car i saw it myself and I think he would eat a lamborghini of the line. Theres actually civics on this board that will put a Lamborghini to shame...I personally know of and have met the driver of a street driven 10sec honda on here he ran 10.6 @ 138mph, I won't say any names this man hustles people on Florida streets.

In other news xbird...maybe you should stop asking whats wrong with your car and start asking whats wrong with the stopwatch counter or maybe even the driver there is no way in hell your car takes 10 seconds to get up 60mph thats basically starting of in second gear if you will, seriously speaking i think a moped will get u there faster so do it again but take it to the track this time or borrow someones GTECH pro or try another stop watch.

the best way to figure out your 0-60 is with a video camera. (the track is but if you dont have one) i did mine my, gf held the camera. i found mine to be about 7 sec.

sohc turbo

ok thanks guys

I will do it again later

I really wonder how people can do 0 - 60 MPH in 2.4 seconds, that's FREAKING fast !!!

i mean i can do 0 - 60 KM/H in 2.4 seconds, i think.. but no way from 0 - 60 MPH !!

crazy !!!

TurBoXBirD16

Hey guys
I haven't had a change to try yet

but i thought ofsomething

I live in this place in Canada, Alberta Edmonton

it's a HIGHland, no sea and nothing, just land all around

would this affect my power??

MilanoRex

stock CRX 0-60 is around 8 seconds... somethings wrong. Maybe your a REALLY crappy driver.

tysf

i dont mean anything by it but i would bet soooo much that you are asian
heh anyways whats the elevation in edmonton? its not that high dude. if your timing is accurate and your 0-100 km/h is 10 seconds then that is pretty sad. thats like stock dx territory. why dont you just take it to a track and get a 1/4 mile time? 0-100km/h is so quick its not the most useful statistic.

whats your setup anyways? d16z6 turbo? id run it in the 1320. you should be seeing 14's for sure... that way you will at least get an accurate time rather than a friend and a stopwatch

Holy ****! I run 0-60 in 9 sec and its a pure stock dpfi engine.. I'm sure it's not your tires. It's just you you need to learn to shift and learn how to step on gas.

Jkan2001

Did you run that 1/8 mile time on 12 psi or did you up it to 12 psi later?

My 00 ex with the stock d16 @ 8 psi with the ihi turbo (176/173 wtq) went 8.52 @ 80.52 mph
