I have 98 civic hatch back with a 99 B18C1...the mods include:
-ACT clutch
-Toda flywheel
-Brand new ITR head (complete with lost motion assemblies, rockers, and cams)
-ITR Intake Manifold
-Mugen head gasket
-Jdm Itr pistons (std)
-Toda cam gears
-ITR AEM CAI
-BFG Drag Radials (205/50/15)
-DC Jdm Header
-2.5" Custom cat-back exhaust
-P28 Ecu with skunk2 program
-no power steering

I know I need some cams and a valve train upgrade....but besides that what else can I do to reach the 12 sec mark? Would it be worth it for me to upgrade my pistons to CTR pistons or should I stick with the Jdm ITR's?

thanks.

 

i dunno if thatll do it. will be in the 13s with good traction though

 

I think 13's are surely possible. However, 12's may require some serious weight reduction along with going into the motor for some internal work.

 

would ctr pistons and jun3 cams get me there?

 

definately a 13.7s car.... 12s wont be very easy without more internal work... shot of juice might cure your 12s urge

 

13.7 doesn't seem right....my 01 ITR did 13.9 with intake, header, exhaust, p28 ecu and a pair of BFG drag radials.

 

12s are harder than you think

 

your almost there. big cams/ gears adjusted. and some goooooooood tuning on the dyno and your definatly a low 13 maybe 12's on slicks. I went 13.7 w/ stock cams, stock pistons in a ls/vtec on bfg's in a 92 vx hatch. w/ carpet and rear seats removed... its mos definatly possible My goal is to get into the 12's w/skunk2stage2's and ctr pistons w/ good tuning. and i know its possible

and this also isnt your ITR

 

We have a similar setup in an 89' HF minus the ITR pistons. It runs 13.70's @ 98mph. w/ 2.0 60' times. 12's are definately harder to get than you would expect (all motor that is )

ive seen this setup as well... rather impressive if you ask me

 

Your going to need more then that for 12s.
Also I would not use CTR pistons and jun 3 cams. the jun 3s like lots of compression. look at a set of 12.5 to 1 compression endyne rollerwaves. do the pistons, cams, and some headwork and you will be into the 12s with good traction and driving.

 

its dependant on your hp and driving skills. i would say it'll be low 13's....a local guy with an EG Type R runs 13.3 with 20" slicks...

 

12's are possible with slicks and some weight reduction!!!

 

Eg 2050 W/driver, 94 B18c1, itr pistons and cams, s2 im, no tune and slicks. 13.1@101 1.760ft. Weight reduction and slicks your there.

 

well phil not to jack the thread but once i change the full throttle launch and get my slicks back from you im going to run 12.9s. That is a promise. At least i think its possible with a good tune.
