hey whats up guys I have a 92 GSR (setup in sig). last time I was at the track the car weighed in at 2700 lbs wit me in it (155lbs). I am currently working on a new setup for my car. Do you think its worth it in a 2700lb car? Is my car too heavy to be a quick all motor car.? I would like to run like 13's but my car is really a pig. is it possible to run 13's with a good all motor setup or will I have to get a hatch to see those types of times? Im not sure if I should sell my car because of weight issues or if I should just go with like a B20 set up or something for more power. Any advice, criticism and feedback always appreciated. Thanks guys

 

 

Nothing wrong with having a heavy car as long you have the power to propel it. Usually with a heavier car one runs turbo and or NOS

 

anyone else have any input or recommendations?

 

What kind of times are you running now

 

You can run 13's all motor with a heavy car. When my coupe was a pig (at least 2650, if not more) I was running mid-13's with 200 whp.

 

My buddy had a 92 GSR that ran a 14.3 on drag radials.

That was with a JDM GSR motor, ITR cams, I/H/E and weight reduction.

 

I only ran at the track 1 time so Im a beginner and I ran best 0f 15.5 with 2.5 60' and 92 mph trap speed. I had some shitty *** tires on full psi and 2700lbs. I need to work on 60' bad but I need some practice at the track. Just wondering if my heavy *** pig had something to do with those crappy times. I was hoping to do much better I actually just went to watch but then I was told that I didnt need helmet tpo run so I said what the hell and just raced my car without any preparation or track experience. but yeah, that was my best time

 

hey what type of setup were you running?

 

sounds like he was running a b18c. my car is 1.7. what type of weight reduction did he do? was it all motor? Nitrous?

Having a heavy car doesn't mean that it can't be quick. It just means that you need more power to get a given level of performance. In other words, you can get 13 seconds. But it is going to be harder to get there than it would be with a CRX.

 

you can go 12's my car is a 94 integra gsr and im heavier i weight 200lbs and my car weigh 2648lbs and my car runs 12.60's all day.i recommend an ls/vtec set-up that has around 210 and 140 torque @ wheels will make it happend and also with a good suspension too.If you need help email me at lsrteg@yahoo.com i have a good friend who can build you one and my motor is stock block with ctr pistons only on a gsr block with type-r head only 1.8 will do the job ok
