I'm not sure yet. I'm still working on the Metro Type R.
Just waiting to get my JDM 3-1 Header in and I should pull a low 25.

22 seconds or so in my Turbo LS. I messed up the launch real bad and I missed 2nd gear. I just gave up after that and slowly cruised the rest of the way down the track.
GSR w/ i/h/e/c/obd1 change over & completely gutted

I ran a 16.7 once when my plug wire popped off the distibutor going in to 2nd gear and like an ******* I kept my foot in to it. This was with a n/a ZC. Not bad for 3 cylinders I guess.
Turbo'd I ran a 16.2 when one of my ghetto intercooler patches popped off and I coasted down the track. I was about 3/4 of the way in third when it went.

Stuck at 14.00.... and I'm sorry too. It runs really good but just spins hops and breaks axels at the track. Suspension work is on the horizon, but buying a house has held things up. I can't complain a lot though. It beats a lot of other crap that should be faster too. Keep in mind we're talking about a cheapo greddy kit bolted on to a 5 year old ZC with an FMU and otherwise stock fuel in the heaviest 4th G hatch made. I really don't expect any better than high 13s.
To be honest, I've seen quite a few ZC turbos in Civic hatches not run any quicker than mid 14s. While I admit that a 14.0 isn't fast, you aren't one of those guys who is "building a _____ that is gonna run _____" are you? I listen to those guys all damn day at the track. Its either that, or "My boy had dis setup and ran 11s". I'm about to put up a sign that says I only want to hear from people who are done with their 11 and 12 second whatever. No offense. I'm not saying you are one. Its just that its usually the people who've never put anything together and actually run it that are quick to criticize times. Most of the guys I know around here that have actually built turbo'd civics keep telling me that a 14 flat isn't too bad considering the ghettoness and cheapness of my setup.
