89 si pretty much gutted...

b18a1 250k
t25 8 psi
dsm 450s
dsm 1gbov
jdm J1 tranny
te
shitty home made traction bar so i spin 1st and 2nd
bfg's @ 30 psi (had to drive home)

ran a 14.59@96...

completely un tuned

the j1 has such short gears, i have rev limiter set to 6750 and still runs out of gear before the stripe...

anything i can do?

 

You must have completely, and I mean completely spun out of the hole. What on earth did you launch at? And why are you reving to only 6750?

 

more revs and bigger tires will get u more speed u need. So ur at the top of 4th in the 1/4 or 5th?

the 6750 rev limiter probably isnt a bad thing for the LS since its not making power up their. Mabey get a cable LS tranny. the gears arnt too long when u have a decent power.

 

swap the tranny cuz a j1 is a great all-motor tranny but not so good for a car with power adder's such as bottle,turbo ect..

 

Eeek, what was your sixty-foot?

Get some more practice.

Also, what power are you making? The trap speed seems really low...

 

thanks for the replies. the thing tops out at 6750 in 5th gear.

yes spinning out of the hole and all the way thru 2nd.

i dont feel like changing trannys again yet.

so taller tire and more revs huh

 

drop the tire pressure in the bfg's to about 10psi and do a good burnout to heat them up.

 

whats funny is that if your j1 is in good condition you can change that tranny get an ls and make some money in the process make some money and get some slick's

 

long story had to use the j1 trans instead of my ls trans. what trans are the big turbo guys running ?? hydro gsr?

 

Depends what engine you're talking about. Most of the big turbo guys rev HIGHER (9500 rpm+)and have taller gears than the J1 tranny.

I have a YS1 in my civic. When I cross the line it is about 100 RPM from hitting the 7200 rev limiter in 4th gear.

 

i need my ls trany back in it... the j1 sucks as a turbo trans

 

you should sell the j1 make some cash for slick's for sell for a lsd tran's

 

yeah i should... any more advice??

 

thats all you can really do i mean slicks maybe umm light the car up cant relly do to much with a block that has 250k mi. umm maybe try to get a block with less miles and tune the motor im sure with a tune and slicks light the car up a bit you can see some mid 13's (depend's on how you drive)
