I realize that a d16y7 is not going to do a whole lot. I plan to run my car at the track in a couple weeks for my first time in 4 years. NEVER RAN. So this will be my first time. I really want to break into the 15s, that is my goal. I currently am running DC headers, Short ram intake, installing Y8 manifold this week, AEM pullys, HKS full catback, NGK plugs and wires. You can look in my sig. What else could i do becides FI, i dont want to spend too much. I was wondering if tuning with a VAFC would help me out some, or maybe a y8 head, is it really worth doing a mini me head? O and its in a 98 hatchback. Thanks

 

uh..? you dont have VTEC, so a VAFC will be kinda useless. get that y8 head on first, then the VAFC. you're going to need more than what you have to get into 15's, and good driving.

 

Y8 transmission and drag radials should net you easy mid 15's

 

well i was rating him on street tires. and a y8 tranny swap would be a great idea.

 

Well i know i dont have vtec but you can still use the vafc to tune your car. Like adjusting fuel. And i would get the vafc instead of the safc just incase i later do a vtec head. Is the transmittion really going to help my car more then a y8 head?

 

the y8 tranny will give you shorter gears. the y8 head will give you a little more power and torque (VTEC too, if that matters to you).

Would a VAFC do anything for a Y8 with an I/H/E?

 

opt for the y8 head first. That is the only way I can see 15's out of your car. Yeah, y8 head, mt 20" slicks and some good driving, you should see 15's. heat em up,stage,5k,preload and once you see the last yellow light up, pop it and mash that gas. 15.5 is in your future!

 

I SEE YOU LIKE TO HIT A 15 AND ILL TELL YOU ITS NOT GOING TO BE EASY BUT IS YOU LIKE A 40 SHOT OF NOS WILL HELP YOU GET THERE

 

the VAFC wont provide you much hp with the basic I/H/E setup.

i ran 16.99 on my hatch with only i/e. now i have y8 head, skunk 2 IM, gsr tb, hondata im gasket, crower stage 1 cam, aem sprocket, j's style intake. 15's should be easy

you are ignorant

yeah, like the others said, get a y8 or z6 head on there. your AEM cam gear isnt really going to do anything by its self. get some cams for it.

i have

If all you want to do is get into the 15s, a little n20 would probably be the easiest, cheapest way.

 

sell all the mods you got for your y7 and use the money for a swap?

 

how wrong is it???? its the cheapest and easiest way i have a sohc vtech coupe with dc 4-1 header aem cold air intake and evo greddy exhaust with no cat and my best run was a 16.19 and last month i installed a used nos kit that i bought for 150 and 2 weeks ago i ran 15 flat at 86.16 mph over at Carlsbad i don't see anything wrong with that does anybody else

 

HOW ignorant am I?

man how much did u spend in all those parts i would be man if i don't run 15s

dud i payed 150 for my kit and i ran 15 flat thats over a second gain can beat the buck Im sure u can do it other ways but this is the cheapest and easiest

one more think im a coupe im alot heavier

by the way you type, you are pretty ignorant. learn how to form a sentance that makes sense. your lack of knowledge just adds to it. wow, anyone can slap on a bottle of nos. you are so cool...it just sucks that you have to replenish basically the only thing that gives you power. not to mention that you are abusing the **** out of your engine.

 

Y8 head and tranny w/ bolt-ons & a good driver...I see low 15's.

 

sorry i didn't know i was writting an essay

 

jajjaja an essay good one!!!! dont do nos cuz to many sprays will kill that litte d, do mods ur motor gets better n stronger dude
