Default wow

How much was your setup? if you have the b18c5(with the other mods) in the light dx body (lighter than the other civic models) your car should be running at least mid to high 14's...please correct me if i'm wrong

naw, maybe low 14's or high 14's....what kind of tires are you using? and what ECU are you using (re-chipped)?

and dude, the valve cover isn't a mod, so don't bother posting it

maybe you should launch a little bit harder, (like a higher RPM) or even try some sort of slicks or even drag radials.

hope this helps

And don't forget to get higher compression pistons too.

well i dont see 12's in a 99 hb with a ITR motor and intake and exhaust. but why would you want to put turbo on a type r motor, it was made for all motor (imo) unless you feel like changing out compression, then go for it. i wouldnt recomend putting turbo on a high compression motor like that but thats me, do what you want

for your pics to work you need to upload them to a pic site like www.imagestation.com . then use the address for them up to .jpg and insert that address in between the [IMG][/IMG]. if you do that your pic will work
