last month i ran my buddys 06 Type S rsx at the legal drag race in san diego.. i have a EM1 SI coupe with basic bolt ons and CTR camshafts non tuned... outta the 5 race that we did i took him 4 times and he took me once...is it because my buddy is a bad driver or does it sound right for a b16 with those mods to be able to beat a type S????

 

it could also be that your a really good driver

and a 06 has a k20z1 not a k20a2

 

your buddy is a bad driver and you must be really good! rsx 0-60 is something like 6.5 secs give or take, and your car 7.0 ish. What was your trap time and all that stuff.

yea it could really depend all on driver, launch is a big thing at the drag strip

 

Let me guess...your 99-00 Si ran a low 15 sec 1/4 mile?

But, post times for both cars.

 

i ran my buddy at a 1/8 mile track.. my time was 9.87 second and his 06 type s was 9.94 second.. it was a pretty close race all the way.. my buddy is not a bad driver.. he's been into hondas for very long now.. so im pretty sure he has more experience then me

 

well actually i've been to the legal races at qualcomm stadium in san diego those tracks arent that long.. i mean its 1/8.. if it was a 1/4 mile i think you would of gotten smashed on.. i've seen GSR's taking type s there too.. it really depends on the launch..good launch will give u an advantage all the way considering the track is not that long..

 

1/8th mile is a driver race

 

whats the diffrence between a k20z1 and k20a2?

 

search and you will see

 

yeah i've been to the races at qualcomm. its pretty lame that it cost 30-35 bucks to race and its only a 1/8 and to tell you the truth, the track really isnt even good.

And they wonder why there are so many street drag racing. Its because they wont open a decent track here in san diego and all we have is an 1/8 that is over priced and only open 2-3 times a month. Great

 

yeah your exactly right.. i mean the tracks there are lame... and yes i've seen gsr's taking type s's , b16a taking b18c's, i mean yes it depends on the launch.. launch is a big thing since the track is so short...


Race Tracks. not Streets

 

k20z1 has an lsd in the transmission, a higher final drive(same as K20A(R's), cams (one of the camshafts is identical to the k20a..i forget whether it's the intake or the exhaust), higher flowing intake manifold, ecu, wiring harness, just to name a few differences

 

^^ i think you mean k20z3. k20z1 has no lsd, the last time i checked.
