Default What does a Greddy Kit'd EP3 run?

On avg. 1/4 times? I like the EP3, and would consider one, but I honestly wanted my next car to be in the 13s, boost or not, really wouldn't matter to me. The EP3 seems to give the best of all worlds, something sporty, somewhat roomy for the segment, nice seats, etc...

There's a couple guys with A2/K20A (Integra-R) swaps that are running 13s. 13.8,
I think. That's just with the engine and not with any cams or anything, that I'm
aware of.
There's also a couple torque K24 swaps, but I'm not sure what they are running
in the 1/4. Keep in mind that this is a FWD Civic, so you're better off in AutoX or
on the track than you would be in a straight line.

Errr...I think you're right. Guess I got a little trigger happy/delusional. But I'm
thinking that an A2 with some tuning (Hondata, cams) would get the Si down in
the 13s. I hope, at least.

BTW, I'm not interested in running the car at the track, but rather how the car is on the street. From my experience, cars that are running 13s are plenty fast for me, and would be enjoyable on a daily basis.

The only boosted EP3 in the 13's is one running the Ultimate kit. The hurdle for us is traction. My best mph is 103 and my best 1/4 is 14.3 however, my 60's range from 2.6 to 2.3.

You can't run 13's like that. If you go boost, make sure you have the traction angle covered.

Our best run with a stock K24 in a 03 Si with I/H/E and a 65 shot was a 14.003@101.6.

Steve</TD></TR></TABLE> to those 60 foot times! What are you launching at? What tires are you running on? Even if you can't lay down a solid 13, it would seem that the car would be much more enjoyable in second,third, etc. BTW, have you dynoed it? What kind of numbers are you putting down?

My only real complaint with the EP3 is that it just doesn't seem to pull worth a ****. I figured if it had some FI behind it, it would help it out dramatically.

k20a w/ 220 bhp running 13.9 and lower,

75 shot nos gets an SI i've seen in person run 13.8

I greedy kit running on 6 psi w/ IC runs 220 to the wheels (thats conservitive)

So with the above being true i would say a greddy kit would run 13's easy, in fact any Si with 220 + hp should run 13's , now being able to drive it, thats a different story.
