I know V-tec kicks in at 6000 RPM, my question is, would it be safe to launch in first gear at 6000 RPM, i did this and i was supprised i got no wheelspin while doing this, iv'e only done this once but not sure if it would be wise to do so again... maybe at the track? Oh yeah, i have a 1995 Honda Integra Type-R.

 

yea, break your axles...

No, it does not. Try a few hundred RPM lower.

Search the drag racing forum for launching techniques.

If you are trying to launch, then it should be ONLY at the track. Street racing =

This statement may spark a debate. From the quote above, I assume you have a 96-spec JDM ITR, but purchased it in late 1995. Either that, or something just isnt right here.

 

car must be slow if you cant breakem loose on a launch... teehee....

 

Your setting yourself up to kill your clutch.

 

It is a 1995 ITR, i brought it only 2 weeks ago and it says on the papers it's a 1995 ITR.

 

Yeah i think it was purchaced in late 1995, but it is weird...i was told honda started building them up in 1996.. Yeah i'm not into street racing, i just wanted a unique car that would turn heads in bone stock form only modification that has been done to it is a silent exaust. (I brought the car with the exaust on)

 

He said was launching at the track not dumping the clutch at the track. If you ease the clutch out w/o totally slipping the **** out of it, the car wont spin but will haul ***. I have launch many all motor hondas this way. By launching this way the car is in VTEC the whole run. Thats why when you see someone launch at 3000 the car falls on its face and the type R runs 15.5 @ 94.

 

You drive a Civic DX...You couldn't break the axles or burn up a clutch if you tried... But you are right about not dumping clutch.

I launch at 3 and it fires out of the whole w/ tire spin...too much if I dun feather the clutch.

 

Thank you dick head but i said i have launched many hondas, Not just mine. Well, It also seems that i know what im talking about considering how often a dx actually breaks into the 15s. Have you ever launched a DOHC honda abouve 5000 and actually ran a good time?? My best friend had an 2000 si with a Dc header and an intake running 14.7 launching at 7000!! Why dont learn how to drive before you talk ****!!

My ITR is too a 95 model albeit a 96-spec but it is still a 95 so they do make 'em.
And snake where bouts you from? chch nz?

 

Sure thing, there captain. Learn how to complete sentences, first. Then, you come race me. And i'd like to see that 14.7 timeslip, if you dun mind.

LMAO...good times

Now...

yes 1995 ITRs are still 96spec, just like the 1997 ITR is a 96spec.

i've tried high rpm launching and havent broken anything, maybe my tyres arent sticky enough. lol
high rpm launches dont work for me... the R doesnt go anywhere

 

i dont have an itr, but i had an itr swap in my EJ1 with drag radials in the front and i used to launch around almost 7k after heating them up...... hooked up really great and this was on street by the way

Yup you sure are .

 

in his defense, vtec does come on at 5600 but at 6k indicated on the stock tach.....

many of us have drag raced on street tires (not drag radials) and launchin above vtec is one of those techniques that can be used... slip/ feather the clutch and keep it in vtec so that when you catch traction and start rolling, you stay in vtec and are able to make that nice 1-2 shift really quick, thus staying in vtec the whole time down the strip.

and it is a drag strip i'm referring to... a track involves turns!

And c'mon, I ran 14.2 on a cool night on azenis (2.2 60ft) and I'm no good at that drag stuff! bolt on itr ftw!!11

 

Imagine staging in your car, up to the line after the tires were warmed up, semi new azenis, clutch pack diff, good clutch, rev it to 6500, ready to feather the clutch a bit, light turns green, upon engagement of the clutch you dont go anywhere, car is in gear, clutch is out, motor is spinning but you still didnt even cross the line. hmmmmmm to sheared axles before the outer joint, drag racing sucks.

This story plays over in my head everytime I think about "launching".

Launching hard at too low of RPMs will cause axles to break -&gt;Tires grab/stick at launch (car bogs) and axles break.

Launching hard at high RPMs will cause the tires to spin. (and if your riding/feathering the clutch too much, you "burn your clutch")
