I have a EG with an LS swap and this thing isn't what I expected(its still slow) I cant even beat a 2000 Si in the 1/4 mi. what can I do to make it faster for CHEAP(under $250) until I save enough cash for turbo? Any suggestions other than nitrous?

save up a little bit more and then go to a junkyard and buy a vtec head.

 

yummy..go lsvtec..you wont regret it.

 

You can always strip you car to shed some weight off, and free up some power... and it's basicly free.

lol i dont know where you live but you dont just find b series vtec heads in junkyards most places

and i would say save for the turbo

Ls + boost =

 

For that much you could do a number of things.
Some things I can suggest to get started is to change your intake piping, intake mainfold, fuel rail, buy a fuel regulator, get and play with a v-tech controller(Apexi, alittle more than $250, but not much), a short shifter, a header, new b-pipe, free flowing muffler, the list goes on and on...
Hope this gave you some fresh ideas.

someone wasnt paying attention...if he has a LS motor...how would a vtec controller help him??? and btw you spelled vtec wrong
also around here there are import junkyards...i see all kinds of si's all the time
but very rarely do i see a gsr

 

learn how to drive first

 

Yeah you should be getting beat by a 2000 si, I think you need to practice some more at 1320.

 

If you wanna go faster, then dont buy a honda/acura

2 free mods

1. strip the interior
2. take off rear bumper cover

and with your $250
buy some bfg gforce drag radials

that should take some tenths of your 1320

edit
the *** on that girl in your avatar is amazing
i cut off a toe to hit that

Its usually at the top of 2nd gear they start pulling on me. Also on hot days and some nights I feel a power loss at high rpm's. it feels like the cars missfiring or the clutch is slipping. cant pin point it yet. it just started recently too.

 

I'd say try to strip up your car a little, you know just get rid of excess tar or something. Try to get a b16 v-tec head. More free flowing, and you know when that vtec kicks yo! Other than that, save up for some basic bolt-ons, and then go turbo. But I would first get a b16 head.

 

if you cant beat in Si in your EG, you need more practice...
under 250, I would say, yeah, slicks

 

learn how to shift,,cause 2000 si is slow if stock..250 get u a better clutch to beat si. i beat a si tith stock d16z6 before

 

first of all make sure the motor is running right.

1. Do a compression test and post the results
2. Make sure timing is right , on the distributor side and on the timing belt.
3. Do some basic maintnace( fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs and wires etc...)

keep practicing, you should be able to take the SI , if hes stock.

If worse comes to worse, save about 100 bucks more and get a used nitrous kit. Run a 50 shot for a while.

Build a god damn turbo.

I've seen a stock Dx with a B18B (stock as well, besides a cylinder guard) runs 11's at 11 psi.

The driver was a girl BTW.

Turbo!

 

yeah definatly check your timing
