hey guys i need help. what are you launching at with a b16a? any help would be much appreciated. thanks

 

Hey kevin,
Its zach. Im coming out there this weekend to pick up my new hatch. You should swing by the shop and say "whats up"!!

 

what mods? what kind of tires?

 

If you really want good 60' foot times I suggest launching around 5k. The stickier the tires the better. I don't have a B16, but I have street tires and I get 2.2 60' fts when I launch around 5-6K. This results in faster ET's but slower mph because I'm not in 1st as long as I would if I would launch at 3K with minimal wheel spin.

 

hey zach, when are you coming in? let me know!!!!!! for sure i'll swing by!

 

Mugen head gasket, cams, JUN UL flywheel, act clutch, ITR intake manifold, bored out TB, tanabe exhaust, AEM, fuel pressure riser. i am running on 17X7.5 inch raching hart c2's, with yoko. parada tires, 205/40's

3-4000 if you drop your tire pressure to 20ish 4000+. play with it till yu find whats right for you
Also, how do you like that ITR manifold? any noticable gains? im about to buy one.

 

its a pretty noticable gain, but you have to get your TB bored out or get a type-r throttle body. i sent mine to JG. but my advise to you is take it some where else. JG took 2 months to finish the TB, when they assured me a 5 day turn around time. to top it off they sent me the wrong TB.

 

you HAVE to get it bored out? about how much did that cost you?

 

yup you have to get your TB bored out to match up with the manifold. the b16 TB is alot smaller than the ITR intake manifold. i think JG charged me like $150, that included shipping.

 

Kevin, who you racing now? JP told me to ask you if there was sumting wong hehe. Call me, we need to chill. I know your busy with school and work but come on, who needs and edumacation.

 

just go in a parking lot one day....and just hold it at an rpm till u get the least possible tire spin....on a stock gsr i was doing it at 3500 and it would spin then go

 

sup dan!!!! yea im planning on running in the shoot-out and i have no idea what to launch at. i've been launching at 6000 rpms. is that too high? hey do you still have the same cell #???

 

Kevin,
Ill be out there this weekend.

 

i have a 00 Civic Si....so in the past, i launched around 4k with the shitty stock tires set at 15psi. a little bit of wheel spin...ran the stock Si time of 15.7xx

 

i launch at about ~2,800 and i ride clutch till vtec, then i ease on gas to keep from spining too much. iI run 2.1 60 footimes and mid 14s in b16a with bolt ons in an ek! one problem is lack of tourqe and i find myself bogging off line if you dont keep rpms up and clutch half ingaged! have fun
