well this was my first time racing at a drag strip and i think i did pretty good..... i have a 97 accord ex that i picked up a couple of months ago so far i have aem cai, greddy evo exhaust, n.o.s. 50 shot dry kit, i only had the bottle pressure up at 700 psi and its supose to be between 900-1000. Well anyways i ran a 15.5 1/4 mile. what do you all think... good, bad.. what should i do to drop the time with out a swap or turbo?

 

I ran a 15.0 @ 94mph on my DX with a 55 shot of ZEX. Work on you 60 foots.

 

i also had on 18 rims

 

where did you run at?

 

60 foots?

 

great lakes

 

60'. Yes. Id imagine your were 2.6~2.8. Figure one tenth off your 60' = 2 tenths off your E/T.

my reaction was .599 i dont rember what my 60 was lemme go check

 

i'd say take a day to work on your launches in general...you should be able to get down close to 15 flat with all those mods...

 

my 60 was 2.399, 1/8 10.047, top speed 90.22

 

your 60 foot wasnt too bad then. You top speed is the killer. Lose some weight, tubby EX!!!

 

dude, i had a trap speed of 99.82 mph 2.5 years ago with a slipping clutch.... you need to tune that motor for the track... F22B1s have potential...

 

the cars as light as it can go there was less than 1/8 of a tank of gas left she and nothing in the car. the 18's i think slowed her down if i go again i'll put the stock wheels back on. but the cars an auto so that might be the problem.

 

Might be? Um. That IS the problem.

 

do you know how much it would cost to change it and is it worth it... or for the money would it be better to change the trany and do a h22 swap?

 

H22A good buddy.

 

if you do it you should do it when you swap your engine...a lot of shops like to charge you out the *** but you can do it yourself for around $300 if you find the tranny in a junkyard or something...from what i hear the clutch installation is the hardest part and that's not even much of a challenge i guess (but i wouldn't know because i've never done it...this is only from what i've heard)...doesn't seem too challenging...but it's definitely worth it!

 

i was looking into the swap or a f-max turbo kit...... witch ever one i choose should be done by the end of the summer i cant decied witch one though

 

swap!...the f-max is pretty much the most you can do to an f22 without getting a lot of custom parts and materials in there...but an h22 has endless possibilities and a lot more aftermarket support...keep it an ongoing project yo!

i know there have been tons of threads about this but how much does a good h22a w/ manual trany cost and about how much to have it put in i have an auto right now so that would have to be all changed?

 

$2000-$4000 for parts. Around $1000 for work.

 

thats about what I would run, without nitrous. what was your 1/8 speed?

 

he said it was 10.047 whoops..............sorry, didnt see the whole speed part.

it didnt give me one

 

Is there anything i can do now that i can bring over to the H22A that will drop my time a little more?
