I'm running a d16y8 with h/i/e
manual tranny (S20)
Stock Ecu (Automatic Ecu, didnt change it after swapping a manual tranny)
Broke Engine mount (1 mount)
Broke Tranny mounts (2 mounts)
The Clutch aint that good although its oem clutch

My 0-60 is 8.4 sec's launching @ 5k rpm .. is it good or you think it should be better?

 

don't get me wrong it's not bad but i think you can do a little better

 

when I 1st read topic title, I thought it meant quater mile, 8.4 seconds, good or bad? I was like: "is this guy on meth?"

It's good for what you have wrong with it, u should definately consider replacing the mounts..

 

Thnx Live to Drag and Syndacate :D

 

sounds about right..

 

I'm glad to hear that

 

shrug, you setup is very basic, and has a lot of weakpoints and halfassed stuff. So expect a slow time.

fix the motormounts, and build the enigne/turbo if you wanna start talking about performance

 

i think you could do better, i have a d15b vtec (basicaly the same as your set up, performance wise) i got an 8.3 with a passenger and winter tires in sub-zero weather, with a very easy launch.

 

My y7 does about that, and I got the bolt ons too.

Your time seems just about by the book. Fix your motor mounts, and maybe a replacement clutch may help.

ALSO, get better tires, cause 5,000 RPMs is gonna wreak havoc on your clutch. Killing your clutch isnt worth an extra tenth of a second. Go to 3,000 I say and engage quickly then floor it.

 

Right or not, thats slow.

Very true.

Why do you want to know if it's right or not? Are you wondering if there was work done to your motor before you bought the car, or are you trying to figure out if you have severe problems other than the mounts and stuff?

How did you measure the time... Gtech?

 

I guess my 9.5 in my d15b2 DPFI can compete

 

holy crap i thought he meant his 60footers LOL

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^ hahahha me too

What rpm do you use when your launching your car for a test ?

I asked just to know if i'm doing 0-60 as the d16y owners do or not
just to make sure that everything is fine and my motor is working fine
and about measuring the time i used an stopwatch

yeah, i thought 0-60 was a car and driver/manufacturer test thing only.

 

i just launched at i think 2k or so.

try revving to 3.5k-4k and slip the clutch.
