Default VIDEO: 0-80 MPH in my EP.

Click HERE to see my 0-80 MPH video (day time)

Click HERE to see my 0-105 MPH video (night time)

Sorry there's no sound, but they should load quickly.
Man it's tough shifting with a camera in your right hand...hahaha.
Video 2 I tried a different method, camera in my left hand...lil betta.
I don't reccomend trying this on an open road.

BTW:
According to GTech my 0-60 is a consistent 6.2 seconds.
Sounds about right as I'm now running low 15's at the track.
As far as Engine mods go:
DC Header
Knockoff AEM Cold Air Intake (eBay no-name brand)
2.25" Midpipe
THAT'S IT! Sold everything else...no more Hondata.

Holy shaky video batman.

I find it hard to believe you could get a low 6 second 0-60 run without Hondata on an i/h/midpipe EP3. At best I'd say you're at 6.9 or so.

Remember that's GTECH numbers which usually read a couple tenths quicker.
I dunno any other way to test my 0-60, do you?

well there is this 0-60 calculator that I've found online. You plug in your 1/8th mile ET and trap speed...and it gives you a good estimate.

BTW, my Hondata'd EP3 with i/e has done about 6.62 seconds 0-60 according to that calculator.

That calculator is not accurate.
BTW anjapower incase you didnt know I'm ADAMnQuickCIVIC over on ephatch.
What is your best E.T.?
I ran 15.4 @ 89 w/ Hondata, SRI, DC header and 2.25 midpipe.
I ran 15.2 @ 91 w/ CAI, DC Header and 2.25 midpipe (no Hondata).
And maybe my 0-60 is better than yours cuz I launch well.
I pull low 2.1 short times on my Azenis.
I have no reason to lie.

What's your car run in the 1/4. Maybe that calculator is screwed, I had read somewhere that it was accurate.

Adam, yea I know you're on EPhatch as ADAMnQuickCivic. My car's best time has been 15.3 at 92 driven by a friend of mine with a 2.4 60'. That's with cold air intake, hondata, catback exhaust.

I didn't think you were lying, but just that the time seems a little optimistic. With Hondata, it wouldn't be that far off since it takes away a shift. But what do I know

Edit: I didn't know you had run a 15.2 at 91 w/o Hondata. That's pretty impressive. Maybe your car can do that...alright I retract all previous statements...I'm an idiot.

Updated original post with VIDEO 2 ( Zero to 105 MPH at night).
Recorded using left hand this time, not as shaky but it's night so it's a little harder to see the gauges.
Check it out.

LOL, because your recording yourself. Seems like a decently quick SI, now get it to the track where it really matters.

The reason for the video is just to show what $300 in mods can do to an EP.
I'm not trying to show off or anything.
And yes, I'm at the track weekly.

This is completely OT, but please remember when posting videos that street racing and illegal activities on public roads is strictly prohibited.

Since your camera was on the instruments, there is no evidence that you were doing something unsafe on public roads.

I hope that if you had raised the camera, the same conclusion would have been drawn.

The G-Tech cannot compensate for shifting, or traction conditons , it only measures linear acceleration as if their were perfect conditions.

No way will it be accurate, just an estimate, but it will still be quite a few tenths off
