Ok, bare with me. I originally had my jdm h22 swap from password jdm, I dropped the motor in as is and added a skunk2 manifold. Stock clutch, and stock flywheel. Took this setup to Irwindale which is an 1/8th mile track. The best time I ran was a 10 Flat! After a few times of taking this to the track I eventually blew my motor!

Part 2

I now did a complete rebuild on my h22, rebuilt the head and the block, got a brand new stage 3 clutch, and got a lighten flywheel! No Skunk2 Manifold It Cracked! Broke in the clutch and I now have 1700 hundred miles on the motor. Took it the the track tonight and the best time I ran was a "10.87", I was so disappointed, I was thinking at least in the high 9's! Cant Figure out what is wrong and I really need to make my motor alot better then a High 10!

My Friend told me that he thinks it might be my distributor! Any possiblities?

 

something is diff. wrong. this is in a EK hatch too? i ran in the high 9's when i had a stock h22 in my 5th gen prelude lol (i/e/h/test pipe/skunk2 manifold/nice street tires/driver skills)

what tires are you running? what ecu are you running? might just be a lack of driver skills.

 

WTH does rebuilt mean??? You rebuilt the head and block so how would it be faster...need some details or something.

 

ok sorry, I did a stock rebuild on the whole h22. Didnt really expect to be faster but at least in the same time range right? Its not on driving skills I know how to drive my car! The swap is in my civic coupe!

The car somtimes backfires when I let off the gas in gear!

 

you can run ten flats with a civic ek with an h22? with almost no mods!!! how light are those cars

 

should but im not. We took off the butterflys on the stock manifold you think I may be having power loss with this!

wont make that much of a diff

 

10 second 1/8 mile

 

ok good for you, still not helping me out

 

easy up *******, I was clarifying for Prudz_lude

and I think its your driving, its as bad as your attitude

 

didnt mean it to be mean

 

thats insane, haha ohh well i dig ludes a million times over an ek, but damn those are fast times

 

1. It may not be the MOTOR. (IT MAY JUST BE YOUR "GRANNY SHIFTING"

2. Lauching the car is very essential.
3. Tires? Could be a factor.
4. "its not how you stand next to your car, Its how you race your car"
5. Run 1/4 miles. 1/8 is just to short. Palmdale (LACR.COM) Me and a buddy ran all day and all night..$20 for BOTH! wow! it's like 1 hour drive from Downtown. Los angeles. But it's pretty fun...We raced on the way there...

6. If it ran slower, then your Torque/Hp ratio config may be bad on the low end.

I love my EK and my 4th gen lude hahah sick *** hondas

 

try some bolt ons
post up your time slips
maybe you have real shitty 60' times.....1/8th is all about the 60

 

now how is a new coil going to help?....and please stop quoting the fast and the furious

 

dont listen to preludebb dousche he wears a helmet and he doesnt even play football.. any ways what you should do is get some slicks... and at least i/h/e
free up a little power from the H let it breathe a little... and go to a parking lot and practice your launch skills

BEST POST OF THE YEAR!!!!!

wtf does that have to do with anything?

 

10 in the 1/8 will put you at about 15-16 in hte 1/4. which is about right for a stock rebuilt motor. did you replce the JDM pistons with USDM? you would get a nice little power loss from that. dont those civic weigh in at under 2000? you should be running a 14 with an H swap, if it was rebuilt right. and removing the butterflies wont really matter at the track, you are always gonna be above the RPM that they kick in at. sorry man.

john_d is a fagat by the way!! burn in hell john_d

 

you should never be running that slow in an h22 hatch

none of you ****** have considered the fact that he has a "chipped" p28....i can almost garauntee that the thing isn't tuned right

this is a load of crap, 50x better than what? better in what way??
aftermarket ignitions are completely unnecessary for h22s making this kinda hp....

ewww. its chipped, so its probably an ebay ECU for an all out N/A motor. you are most likely right sir.

not to mention aftermarket ignitions crap out and are unreliable..

 

chipping owns j00

but even still, if its not making audible detonation...LOL...you should be running faster than 10's. Low 9's SHOULD be attainable.

who did this rebuild? Why did you rebuild it? What is a stage 3 clutch?

 

It's the one right after Stage 2.

 

i agree. i think you need to get your **** tuned to your engine. you will see a major difference. i bought an ebay "chipped" p28 and i was missing a diode and the little thing that makes my vtec kick in. i had a guy fix it. he soldered everything in and then stuck my car on the dyno and tuned it in. my car runs great now.
