Please use punctuation I dont really like reading things that just go on and on like this they tend to hurt my eyes and I cant figure out what the hell your talking about


Mid 14's.

yeah i think if your an average driver it will hit 14.5-14.8 but if your a better than normal then maybe low 14. ie 14.1-14.3 um why did you get stuff you dont really need yet?? fuel rail?? msd ignition??? if i were you i would of got some cams and a good set of springs. then definatley low 14.1 maybe high 13.9

B16 CRX with slicks runs 13.9 with full interior.
GSR swap should run 13.6-13.7

That is if you can drive!

I always enjoy conversations about what times a car SHOULD run.

There's too many variables to make blanket statements about how this car SHOULD run certain times - altitude, driver, track prep, etc. I can tell you what I've seen personally, but I will NOT speculate NOR will I say that "An EF with GS-R should run 13.7...blah blah..."

Just run the damn car. I've seen a B18C1 EF run a 15.0 and YES it was running properly and had a good geared J1 tranny too. I've seen 3 different EGs here powered by B18C1 swaps run consistent 14.6, yet many will tell you they should run low 14's - WHATEVER.

You'll never know until you run it.

Don't say 'whatever'..

You're right, there's factors, but if a guy down the coast is running a 12.40 with the same setup, I'm gonna wonder wtf I'm doing wrong.. I was expected to run a 14.4 with stock GSR in my EK hatch with a clutch, and I ran a 14.0 with full int, 14" ex rims/tires, and DX exhaust, no cat.. Around here, there's guys with ITR hybrids running 14.6s and stock ITRs are running 14.8s, doesn't compute does it? I can make a statement that says the itr hybrid's time is weak, while the ITR's is damn good..

To answer the original question, and to reword it a little, make it a little more PC for some people >> It would be very nice if u were to be running a 13.8-14.0 with that setup, all things considered.. You should try to time your car on a ~70 degree day, close to sea level, car fully-cooled down for at least 2 runs (your first run and after lunch).. The key to a good 1/4 mile time is EXPERIENCE and conditions.. keep going and going, and when u don't want to go anymore because u have your own parking space, run lane, and plaque on the wall, go some more..

I ran my best time after my first 7 runs...can't say my car was cooling off either - just kept going right back so I could bust a 13...

i'm not trying to be a dick, but you're proving my point. Who would have thought a B18C1 EK would bust a 14 flat? See? You might have gone through thinking 14.6-14.8 like most people will tell you.

oic where you're coming from.. I don't see anything wrong with getting a 'baseline' or educated 'guesstimate' from people who have been doing this for awhile.. You can't go out and put the times in your sig as if u ran them or something, but kinda like a good 'ol G-Tech time, take it as a expectation range, but until u get out there and run at the strip over and over, your will never know..

B18C5-EH2

Yes. Asking what others have run is fine to me, but when you ask "what my car will run" I think it's not a good question. 14-flat? That's bad as hell. I ran a 13.9@100.97 in my old 1992 Si w/ITR swap. I sold the car and kept all the goodies like the ITR swap, GS-R seats, and wheels/tires and I'm building a 1992 CX now. I won't even guess when people ask me what it will run -- i'll just have to run it and see.

I can only say that with 200+lbs. LESS and the 4.929 final drive instead of the old 4.400 on PAPER it should be faster. I would never say it will run a 13.00 or anything like people expact me to - i'll just run it the day the strip opens back up.

The same goes for horsepower. I hate to see arguments on hypothetical hp after a mod. I thought I'd dyno @ 165whp with my set-up, but ended up with a baseline of 175whp w/no tuning. I never would have known until I went to the dyno.
