Does anyone know a roundabout ET for a stock d16y8 with an automatic tranny? I'm trying to get a baseline figure for my car now. I ran earlier this week and ended up with a rediculous 18.31 @ 76 mph.

 

18.31???? man I thought they ran low 15's???? j/p Look man.... Don't race an Auto y8. Unless you bracket race and get great lights.

 

im doing an auto to manual swap as my next project. i wanna see how my time improves after that's over with. can i get an honest answer now?

 

my brother runs 17.5's with his 98 civic ex auto with an intake and exhaust

 

Whoa, 18.3? My bro did that with a Ford Festiva. I would think a Civic would be somewhere in the 17's.

 

could it be the fact that the only performance mod i have right now, motor wise, is a full catback? im starting to think it is for some reason. the air flow isnt right at all.

 

We only did the 1/8th in my wifes old 00 EX auto. It ran 11.0's with a AEM intake only if I recall. We did notice big gains (almost a second in the 1/8th) with upgrading to the AEM. Your times sound about right.

he can race it if he wants , racing is about having fun, dont tell him not to race his car

anyhow

the auto y8 that time sounds about right
all you have to do is give it some work and you can make it faster bro
