so today is import drags in spokane.. i was doing a 13.81@100 with 8lbs street trim.. my idea was to run 12lbs, different tires(happened to be worse than the other time), no rear bumper, no front/rear seats, straigh dp... think about this guys.. i'm running hx rims with stock firestone tires.. i pull up to the line.. first run.. i take off first and im spinning the tires.. cant get traction so i'm kinda pumping the gas to maybe get traction.. same thing thrgouh second.. kinda through 3rd and i finally catch.. i finish the track and i pull up to get my slip... this is what came out..

reaction-.584
60ft-2.244
1/8th-8.784
mph-87.42
1/4-13.359
mph-106.38

second run comes up.. the car has blowby already by the way.. no biggey.. i have an extra motor in the garage.. died once.. idled funny.. i didn't care.. so anyways.. pulled up to the line... great lauch.. great 1/8th.. a tad bit after the 1/8th, the car bogs to hell and blah... heres what the slip reads...

reaction-.4something
60ft-2.181
1/8th-8.712
mph-85.73
1/4-13.54
mph-92.33

so as you can see.. that run was a 12 second run.. i passed the 1/8th about 75 ft or so already going 100mph.. then coasted cuz the car wouldn't pick up anymore.. 92 mph.. oh wells.. turbo is still fine.. swapping things over today.. hehe... over to a vx swap.. my back-up.. i'm going to put my z6 im, gsr tb, z6 tranny, act clutch, and turbo kit over into the vx motor and run like 7lbs or something.. thanks for reading this long stupid post .. i will have a video of both runs soon.. thanks..

 

Nice times what does your car weigh with you in it? 12psi what were you using for tuning?.

 

the car is a dx coupe.. kbb says it weights like 23something.. so i'm guessing i was probaly at about 2350 or so with me in it.. i have dsm 450cc injectors and an SMC+ for tuning.. set at... 1-4k:-39% 5-6:-34%7-8:-33%..

 

heres pics and vids... quailty kinda sucks and theres no sound... great times my turn to be in the 12's
heres the 13.3 run slip... 13.5 slip was too light couldnt get a good pic

thanks for posting up the vids and pic... dang.. hardly any replies to this one...

 

Well I have said it a few times to you already if you dyno tune the motor you are much less likely to blow it. I guess its not that inspiring to people when you do a couple of runs and pop your motor.

 

yea i know you did... but there isn't a reptuble dyno anywhere near me.. its okay though. i'm buying a y8 here next weekend.. its coos... in the mean while, the z1 will have to do.. vx motors run pretty fast with z6 im and parts

 

So that would have been a 12 second pass on street tires on 12psi? In a descent wheighted coupe, not too bad at all. Congradulations on the 13s and street tires. That's not something to be ashamed of, for the single cam. I'm hoping to have a 12 second daily driver with my setup. On street tires, you give me hope that traction won't be TOO bad. 11's would be a number I'd like to put up on 20psi in my hatch but who knows. What size turbo are you running? Just wondering, congradulations once again!

eli, nice runs.. whats your head look like that is on your blown motor.. the VX head has smaller intake ports if i remember correctly.

 

nice times. too bad about the second run. are u running an 18g of an si kit?

 

nice run man, hey you know some chang people that live in that spokane area?

 

thanks guys.. this is a 18g kit off the gsr.. just a tubular mani.. the motor starting going out after, (i say after again) after i accidently ran 2 16psi runs.... oops... haha.. it had a lil blowby after those runs(street test).. it's okay though.. i'm picking up a y8 soon.. this is just a backup motor.. and yes.. this would have been a 12 second run.. the second one would have.. i had traction and a better 1/8th.. as you can see it died about when i hit the 1/8th..

 

man that is a good run
Your mph is high and for sure you should be able to run 12s.
I am currently running a SOHC d16y8 motor with a t28 turbo set-up and is fully tuned with the AEM EMS and that car puts down 211 whp and 171 tq at the wheels @ 9psi on stock motor.
At the track I also had a hard time getting traction even with the drag radials.
My 60' was 2.39 and I ran a 13.4 @ 103 mph.
I have raced many 12sec cars here and have pulled them, so I know I can get a good 12sec pass if I can get traction.
Oh and this set up is in a 96 civic HB with full interior and AC. The car weighed in at 2600 and 2730 with me in it.

good luck with the y8
If you know anyone that is looking for a turbo kit I am seeling my set-up so I can put in the GSR motor

 

Nice times, especially for a coupe.

 

Hell yeah, get some tires and launch that thing hard.
Much love for the sohc.

 

haha.. yea.. single cam ownz me.. hehe.. i love these lil motors... it's funny how people as still in awe about these lil things... well i gotta go outside and swap this **** out.. so imma bounce.. thanks for the comments..

 

good stuff, but in the end...that sucks

 

yes.. it sucks.. buti t's okay.. the new motor is in.. gotta go buy some oil and i'm straight.. anyways.. pulled the head off.. its in good condition... the block on the other hand.. is okay still.. just melted all the pistons.. cylinder 4 needs some honing.. other than that.. nothing major.. jsut a rebuild...

 

Nice times Eli.....Can't say too much about the blown motor though. you can find them for so cheap that it doesn't even hurt to see one go.

Can you still get some **** from CM?

 

thanks.. and no i can't get the CM stuff anymore sucks too cuz i needed a flywheel and clutch for myself...

 

hahaha...good run eli...now it's time to run with the big boys here in seattle! J/P man...hahaha...so when are we gonna line up? My red demon is ready for ya anytime...(until my driver side axle gets fixed) hahaha...Haven't told anybody about our races have ya?? hahahahahaha...But for reals, bring it over here. Steve is done with his tranny work. GSR tranny with LSD. Pulls pretty good high end but as usual, no low end tq. You still gonna hook me up with those hood pins and Main relay right? give me a call sometime.

Big thumbs up to my homie for a good run.
