ewwwww that 2nd 60' gave me shivers. those times are pretty slow for a crx with an ls swap (sorry to sound like a dick). i say its the tires, although your traps are kinda slow too. any clutch slippage? missed gears? bad reaction times? although 15.7 is as fast as a stock SI. any wheel hop?

 

the 2nd 60 foot was bad i tried lauchin to high i didnt miss any gears reaction has nothin to do with my times , didnt feel like the clutch was slippin at all the tires were breakin loose through 3rd to , im not happy gonna go over the motor either tonight or tommrow . oh and no wheel hop just spinning and screeching lol\

i agree about the trap speeds i think that had alot to with not really being able to launch and traction problems what do u guys think

 

bump anyone else have comments ??

 

your 60 foots are the problem, as im sure you know.

try again with some real tires!!

 

what do u think about the trap speeds they ok or bad do to traction or might something else be wrong im a little concerned bc ive seen similar setups have bad 60 ft and trap higher or are there to many varibles to tell like DRIVER lol weather that stuff

 

did a compression test today 150 150 149 151 so just me

 

i definately would have expected better times. get some good rubber and do it again

 

i got 91crx with sohc non vtec. I ran 2.00 60ft time . before i got slicks i was having problems hooking up also.

 

Get some slicks. my stock ls crx ran a 14.60 on 22 inch slicks

 

Good tires will make all the difference. However, the trap speeds are kind of low.

Just for reference I trap around 94-96 mph with my b16a on a good run with approx. 2.2 60'.

 

what kind of tranny you running?

 

smaller wheels.

 

Cheap stuff that you can do:

Run a cheap testpipe. Took off .2 for me, and gave me 2 mph in the quarter with my B16.

Smaller wheels, stock CRX wheels are 22". Smaller wheels mean shorter gearing.

Sticky tires: can't emphasize their importance enough. They help so much.

thanks for all the help guys oh and i have a ls tranny to that isnt helping much . would that effect my trap speed that bad ?

 

Learn how to drive it. Get better tires....After learning how to drive my car I dropped .7 sec off my first time.

What are the mods?

My time is in my sig on street tire.

You will be quicker if you had a b16 tranny or a GSR YS1 tranny like what I have

 

mods are just header , short ram air intake 2.5 ss exhaust test pipe flowmaster muffler b18 b1 head and aftermarket clutch cant remeber the brand it was on it when i bought the car

 

Are you running with a catalytic converter? That killed my times. The mods that made the biggest difference for me were exhaust mods.

 

work on the launch, most people say their motors arent running up to par, tear it all apart, change all tune up parts, still wonder whats wrong, then put some tires on and suspension and drop the time a full second

 

wow ya im going again wensday for some more practice pricing wheels and tires right now . no cat

 

pic up a set of rotas off ebay they are goin for real cheap

 

yeah....bad traction issues. Rotas are a good choice!

 

I have an LS hatch, same tranny and close to same mods and I ran a 2.3 60" and a 15.2 @93mph with some Walmart special tires and stock steelies

If you would like to see the whole timeslip IM me...
