took the toy to go play at cmi
got two pass

first 11.5@132mph
second 11.4@131mph
car makes 400whp on methanol

what kind of mph do i need.............?
thanks for looking............

 

Can we get a break down of the timeslip?? Is that 1620lbs with the driver?? What size slicks and what trans are you running?

We ran a CRX last week that is 1900lbs with the driver and it ran a 10.93 @ 127mph with the driver hitting the limiter in 2nd with only 340whp.

 

our car is 1620 without driver

24.5 slicks
22 skinnes
stock gsr trans

i ll post time slip later don t have it onhand

 

Think u need to get in the 10's first. I don't see why u couldn't get in the 10's with that mph and at the weight of the car. How much does the driver weigh.

I mean they have 10.40 and 50 cars that weigh 215 with driver and 129-130mph. I hope that u are very traction limited.

 

the car burns 1st 2nd and 3rd but 4th hooks good(even though it burns it still pulls)
still isn t the mph too low?
two different drivers tried (150-170lb driver)
we only got two runs
and the 60 foot on the rite lane didn t work on this event.........

 

i'd say go to a good track and lower the air pressure in the slicks to like 8 pounds.

 

we ran 8psi
but it s before the burn-out
did we do it that rite?

 

My boi ran a 10.9 with the same power and more weight that very same weekend. He also ran it on the right lane. Full weight civic hatch with 24.5x9's. You have the MPH for 10's especially with a chassis that light. We have 2 cars that run 11.3-11.4's with 350 whp and were not even trapping that much. Only 120-122 MPH.

 

dang we need more dial-in...........
-it suck s that we drove over three hrs there and the 60 foot reading is broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

8psi is way too high, we run 5.5psi in our slicks. You also may need to turn the boos down in the lower gears.

On those slicks with that weight I think you need to be under 300whp in 1st gear.

 

yea. i ran twice on the right lane and the 60 ft reading was broke. what are your slicks size? are they by 8's or 9's?

 

on 1st gear we run just wastegate
( its a 4lb spring but the methanol makes it creep to 9psi)
so its lik 4-9psi lol............
2th gear its like 6-12psi
3rd and 4th is 18psi max

maybe we need some boost in 1st gear
it burns but still pulls hard

 

it 8 s
we should probaby get 9 s ha?

 

This is very believable, remember rev-speed it's all about the area under the torque/hp curve in drag racing and putting it to the ground with whatever size slicks/traction bar setup/suspension setup and optionally boost by gear so you can leave your foot on the firewall. Those slicks should be fine for the power your making and weight w/driver to hook up in most cases. What traction bar setup and coilover springrates do you run and can we see a dyno sheet ?

 

In my old 3000lb integra(full weight, AC, PS, 10Pt cage) I went 11.01@132mph and that was spinning the clutch. Granted I made more power than you but your MPH right now is good for 10's for sure

 

then lower the pressure in the slicks and try again

 

dang
5.5 is hella wrinkles lol....
how much boost/power do u launch with at 5.5psi?

 

i ll post dyno sheet later i got to print it out
but the rear springs r skunk2 drags
and fronts r tokico blues with coil over and traction bar

 

get a b16 transmission, will make a world of difference at that level. In a heavier EF, was around 2000lbs with driver, we went 10.43 @ 137 with 435whp and like 280 tq or less

 

Was this a Howard tune on the CRX?

I made 315whp and my car would have ran mid to low 11's all day in a full weight EG hatch. Made 289whp and ran 11's on street tires so take from that what you want.

 

a b16 transmission will not work for us forsure lol............
we re runing methanol
so we make alot more tq.....

 

My street civic eg runs 10.8 with 450hp at the flywheel. The dyno dynamics reads 419hp but power is defo around 450.

 

whats ur 1/8 mph?

ours is only 94mph

here s break down

I1-missing
I2-4.613
I3-7.255
mhp 94.479
I4-9.75
et-11.406
mph 129.739

this run there was a misshift going to third and then another going to fourth.....................

 

No, I tuned it on a dynojet

A full weight eg can be anything from 2200lbs to 2600lbs with a driver.

that's the way they should look on FWD cars, lol

The whole 10.93 run was on 10psi/340whp. We never got to try any higher boost because we broke the trans this past weekend at Pinks.

 

Sounds/looks like a pretty viable drag race setup only two things I'd like to comment on:

First off, you may want a more firm/progressive rate/adjustable set of front shocks. I run blues on my street car w/GC Coilovers and say they are nice for an entry-level, aftermarket, DD setup but may not be what your drag car wants/needs to hook up at the track.
Secondly, what type of traction bar is it (Full-Race, ETD/K-Tuned, Innovative or Custom)?
I ask this because even though some will argue they all do the same thing, and in theory yes they are all made to peform the same job. But, they are obvious design elements, material usage, amount of testing and welding location/technique Advantages to the Full-Race piece over the rest. And I say this not to start a pissing match but to state the facts. I personally run an ETD bar to save a few bucks and would say it performs its job well reducing wheel hop substancially and even lets my car hook up 2nd during a street drag launch with Falken Azenis on. On a darker note, I would say you may experience some fitment/clearance issues (I did/do) and my heim joints are starting to rust after little street use and 2-2+1/2 years sitting outside (may be normal but it's supossed to be all Stainless and Coated Aluminium not Mild and raw Al. I thought)
Now let's see that dyno graph!
