Well I hit up e-town today with my new fuel setup etc... I must say doing it the RIGHT WAY (driving an auto down the track) made a world of difference, went from my old times of 15.9 and 16.0 to today's times. I hope after I get my 3" exhaust on (still totally stock), and up the boost to 8lbs next time I will hopefully hit 14's

My car was in FULL street trim weighing in at 2774 with me in it. 17" rims.... uh thats about it.

Run 1

R/T: .642
60': 2.552
330: 6.641
1/8: 9.918
MPH: 74.64
1000: 12.776
1/4: 15.181
MPH: 93.45

Run 2

R/T: .618
60': 2.565
330: 6.654
1/8: 9.936
MPH: 74.50
1000: 12.796
1/4: 15.204
MPH: 93.38

I must say I am greatly impressed, especially with a 2.5 60's time on and friggen auto... last time I was 2.7+++ I guess you live and learn.

Ok I'm ready for the flames saying I wasted thousands on my car so it could go 15.1 I know your ready to jump at my throat, just remember who's spending the money here......

different and good

no flames, its good that yor happy with yor setup

Why thank you guys I like the positive feedback, so used to negative when I post track times hehe... anyway I'm sure some grumpy drunk will come along and spoil the good thread. Just wanna get this word out to the automatics out there, I know your watching, BIG turbo may not be the way to go, a jrsc or greddy kit might net you better times and more usuable power...

Of course I myself will still stay with the MASSIVE BLACK **** of a turbo and work around it

SIK IN DA HED

it may be a 15.1, but its all the time and money you spent on it to get there that counts.

not hating or anything. I think u did a great job improving ur times. 2777 is a heavy integra though, I wiegh in at 2680 w/ driver no wieght reduction. thats on like half a tank. w/ that 3" and more boost u should see a nice big change in mph and u will definitly be doing 14's. after that, just figure out something to get those 60fts down. low 14's is definitly in ur future.

Kamin

Glad your happy
now want some suggestions?
take the 17's off when you race
you WILL shave at least 1/2 second off your time.
also weight reduction is your friend. its possible you could pull a low 14 on good tires

blufke

how much more does the auto teg weigh than the mt one?

integrx

yo i am not an expert on turboed cars, but take those 17' off and run with the stocks. your time will be improved. great to hear that you have better times. your trap speed use to be 109mph. did you keep it in D3 this time around?

shadowdawn

Never trapped 109, last time it was 89 and 90mph.... yes this time in D3, see what a dif it makes? :D

Autos have to way a tad more then manuals cause the tranny is HUGE, manual tranny is tiny..... that alone could be that extra 20 lbs.

Mr. Vapor

rock and roll man,

you chopped off nearly a full second, be proud of your beast!

ekb18c

Good job !!

Fixed the oil leak yet?

zojirushi

hmm.... maybe theres a chance for me to hit 14's in my car. I have almost the same setup as eric, but with 15" rims. Plus i may show up without the back seats and spare. I also have a HKS 2.5" exhaust. HHMMM..... I could possibly hit 14's. Sounds gravy to me!

Mr. Softee

up that boost to 15 and run open downpipe on 87 octane. time to see what this beotch can do.


lol j/p. good job!

98civicEX

<--who is that as your avatar

and if you're happy w/ your times..than but i still do think you can get some better times on your 60'. by all means though WTG! let us know when you hit 14's

ekb18c

Since I'm the only one with a girl in the avatar, I assume your asking me.

The pic is my girl! =P

Alright Alright! Fine she's not my girl in real life, but she is, in my dreams.

shadowdawn

Thanks guys, no leak is still there and it blows, pissing me off to no end :/ was nervous to even run it... but it worked out ok. Gonna do valve adjustment... next time I goto the track it will be with a full 3" and mabye 8-9psi with some 94 octane straight up :D.... WILL GET TO THE TRACK ALREADY YOU LAZY BITCH!!!! I wanna see your **** beat me hehe.

I must say it was nice to beat a older mustang and brand new civic si in the lanes on my 2 runs hehe

b18b98

where are you leaking from?

shadowdawn

Oil return flange at turbo, 1 bolt is a regular bolt (not leaking on that side of the flange) other is a stud and nut... and when you tighten the stud turns with the nut... afraid to keep tightening in worries that it wil snap or something.... stud won't come out easy and don't wanna take turbo off, can't afford down time.

shadowdawn

ttt

Stewie

Nice time. You'll be in the low 14s soon enough!


Wait, on a second thought, you should only have -

not so civic

go automatic! remember that the auto really loves a lighter chasis...2,200 lb hatch and basically your setup (6psi ) went 8.5 at 84 mph in the 1/8th all night long on stock 13 inch street tires. be careful...damn i miss my auto.
