I have a eg coupe. b16a. greddy 18g turbo. 7 psi tuned conservatevly on the street with uberdata. 2.37 60ft. 14.1 at 101.5 mph. What do you think? good , bad? normal? i was hoping for a 13 second pass.putting it on the dyno this weekend and maybe turning up the boost a couple pounds. give me your input on the time. thanks

 

Work on that 60 ft. mark. You lower that a couple tenths, there is your 13 second timeslip.

 

yeah, i know that, just curious if it was a good run for the setup or if i shouldbe doing better

 

Hard to say. Be a little more detailed: weight of the car, tires/slicks ran, fuel used, etc? All in all sound like you had about 230-230 whp in a 2600 lb. car. Not too bad at all.

 

seems pretty crappy for a turbo b16a no offence but my little sohc with i/h/e/ and cam ran a 14.1 in my crx....but you got some traction issues 101.5 is good for mid to low 13 sec time get some better tires or launch better. oh and turn the boost up to 10-12 and tune it

 

yeah, i'm getting it dyno tuned this saturday and turning the boost up a pound or two. i want the motor to last, at least till i get another one built which probably wont be for a little while.

i am running steelies with essex tires that are well into the tread bar. and i know i could probably launch better but it was my second run with the turbo. my first run was a 2.28 60' but my hand was sweaty and slipped off the shifter when going for third and it didnt go in. so there went that run.

the car had full interior minus the top half of the back seat but with all the crap in the back of the car it probably made up for that weight. and it also had over a half a tank of gas.

i'm running 93 sunoco gas. i weigh about 160ish. so probably around 2600 lbs maybe more. its an ex so it has all the added weight.

you also have to think though 14.1 in a crx its way way lighter and you probably hooked up

 

work on the 60ft, more seat time. you can deff run better 1/4.
get some $$ for tuning and turn the boost up, the "little" 18g will suprise you.
my friend ran a 13.1 @ 7lbs on ls (untuned) in a full interior eg with 1.7 60ft.

 

yea i understand its much harder to get traction with turbo car the best 60' i got before my azenis and all-motor was 2.20 then when i was spraying a 60 shot with falken azenis 195-60-14 at 24 psi i pulled a 2.15 ran a 13.6@96 car started making weird noises so i let off towards the end. i guess some how #2 rod stretched and bent a valve and the piston was hitting the cyl. head.

 

a buddy of mine has a similar setup.. was this intercooled? his isn't right now but on shitty afc hack, tuned extremely conservative waiting for uberdata stuff to arrive

 

waste of money!!! i have a 95 hatch wit a bone stock h22 and i went 13 wit slicks.

 

if i had slicks i'd go easy mid 13's

 

thats not too bad it should be a little faster i would turn up the boost a little and put some better internals in it so u dont blow it up. My tuned b16 hatch runs 13.3 all motor.

 

i never dynoed my b16 18g but from what ive heard, they put roughly 180 w/ FMU, 200 blue box. im ls-vtec t3/t4 now. Much more satisfied except I keep frying my rings

 

Check my sig. You can do a lot better than I can.
I HOPE !!!

BTW I ran mine in a 94 SEDAN Semi gutted.
But still an EX !

Trap seems low. I'm trapping higher in my NA hatch and that was untuned. When I had my Si with Greddy kit I ran 14.3 @ 97mph with no tunning and non intercooled. That was on the blue crap box also. I say put it on the dyno and get the tune better, your times should drop then.

 

Nice.....

 

Sounds very slow to me....My 92 dx hatch went 13.2@ 109 with a stock ls motor on 7 psi/ greddy turbo....And my 94 coupe went 13.6@104 on 7psi/greddy turbo...

Damn, it sucks for you that your not pulling better times, but this is exactly how greddy turbos get a bad name from some people....

Oh, I forgot to mention that the coupe was a d-series..

 

well, i dont know what 60' you were cutting but i cut a 2.35 and that was the second run with the turbo. and also my car will not hold boost till redline, it drops down to 5-6psi by 7k rpms. so thats another reason why.

my car is also an ex with a full interior with 3/4 tank of gas. and btw. thanks for being an *** about it

Anyway, if anyone knows if i were to shorten the wastegate actuator arm if it would help me hold boost till redline?

 

u dont have to cut it, adjust the nut on there and screw it further in.

My 60 fts were 2.1s, but that does not matter, I was reffering to the mph being low as well.. Also, now that I know your car is slightly heavier than mine explains a little of it, it still seems about 5 mph lower than it should be....Sorry if I was coming across as a smart ***, but there has been countless threads about people running slow with greddy turbos, and only a handful that have ever did any good with them...

I went 13.8 with 93 del sol H22 on BALD street tires. Does the eg coupe really weight 2600 w/driver. Sounds heavy. I've watched b16 eg w/turbo at 1 bar boost go 12.8 on DR locally. I don't know specifics on the turbo, but I know the internals were stock. Get some good tires and some more passes under your belt, and you'll see the times drop pretty quickly.
