Hey I have a 92 integra with the B16A swap in it. I am running on 205/40/17's with intake and exhaust. I was disapointed with my 1/4 times running mid 17's Why? I had a 93 teg with a stock b18 and i was running mid to low 16's. How can I get my 1/4 mile times down there to like 15's if not lower? Why are they so high right now? bare in mind I am shifting at about 7300 RPM's. also traction seemed to be a problem when launching at about 3000 RPM's. Please help wanna run faster. Oh BTW I took down a 95 firebird in the 1/4 though

well... first of all, dont run on 17s. traction problems will get you. especially with 17s.. nothin but wheel hop and slow starts. try feathering the clutch.. although, most of the time its better to drop the clutch like a **** and quickshift.

 

1.6L+lack of torque+Big rims=17's

 

it's a b16 you need to rev that piece of ****. Shifting a 7300 won't cut it, try shifting at 8200 on 15's with good tires. You should be deep in the 15's.

 

i heard that taking off your back bumper will cut your times down bye like .3 , all this talk about 17's scares me , i have 17's but i guess i should have know better

 

turbo!!!

 

b16 is not a quarter mile motor...Your times are about the same as most civic si's here in ga.....Ls does a good bit better in the quarter imo......

Si's run 17 sec 1/4 miles?! LOL! Either you're misinformed or something is wrong with those cars/drivers.

 

to tell you the truth, any 4 cylinder motor isn't a 1/4 mile motor, fortunately there's things called mods to make it fast in the 1/4 mile

 

What engine (4 cyl) is a good 1/4 engine? would you recommend like 15's with slicks?

 

What if I droped in like a Integra type-r cam shaft and a header? any good?

 

Shift at the actual B16 redline, which I don't think is 7300. Also, the 17's will slow you down quite a bit, so runon stock wheels if you can.

 

u can do alot of stuff to shave off some time on your 1/4.

try guttin your car yet?? mayb take out rear seats, spare tires, tools, mayb even passenger seat?? for me, i felt a difference in my launch from full-interior to fully gutted.

also look into gettin a short shifter...of course youre gonna get 17's rowing that big boat thingy .

i never personally tried it but i seen ppl leave their front tires at apprx. 15psi :T i guess it helps u get better traction?? iono :*( in your case i guess u need some smaller rims

im sure there r other things to consider...just remember to stay focus and run hard

HTHs man...hope to see some bttr 1/4 times posted

btw i have 93 DA(stock) and ran 16.004@84.92 her in so Cal.

 

Wow some of you guys are soooooooo lost, I dont even like drag and I know that a bone stock civic si 99-00 runs 15.2-15.3 all day well for one dude your red line on the b16 should be 8500rpm what ecu are u running? does your vtec even work? 17's are gonna happen when you dont have a clue of what your doing. 205, 17's will never get you down the 1/4 in any fashionable amount of time. for starters get your motor running right, tune it up. Second of all try to get some 14 or 15" x 7 ang get some meet on them, like 215-50-15's the biggest problem with any drag car is traction. Power isnt that hard to get out of a B-series motor. So basically read more but dont believe everythign you read. To be honest most of the bs you hear on here is just that. GL

You just called the advice that we gave him BS, but all you did was regurgitate it with the addition of bad grammar. Granted there is some BS/unecessary comments in this thread, no need to not be helpful.

A stock Civic Si will not run a 15.2 btw.

well do you want to lower your times with more mods? or are you asking for driving techniques?

a stock civic si will never do 15.2

the main reason why your so slow is because of the wheels
with some stock 15's with azines shifting at 8k you should be in the high 15's

 

mod's I think my driving isn't the issue although my reaction time could drop a little bit it was at .429 (ouch)

You're reaction time doesn't count for anything, so go at your own pace. The timing of your 1/4 mile starts when you move, so don't be concerned with R/T's unless your at an event where it matters, or you want to race whatever car lines up with you.

Practice launching (although it's a little different on the drag strip), shift higher, and get smaller wheels. I guarantee that you'll see difference. By shifting lower than you should be, you don't fully utilize your powerband, so you're losing performance. The smaller wheels are a give in, they're lighter it will this require less work to get them moving.

ok im sorry but this is a bunch of crap, there is plenty of strong b16's running 11's right now. B16s are a little weak on the torque side but that doesnt count them out for drag racing. Do a search on B16's and youll see that there are pleanty of them on this site with a amazing power.

.Thank you ...Here in ga the norm for any b16{unless in a gutted hatch}is 15.9-16.3.......... They are not good 1/4 motors because it takes them a long to get going...Just like a supra but on a smaller scale. Also the b16 has no torque.....torque is what wins 1/4 lmile races..Just like a type-r teg, very fast up top but crap out of the hole...I dont know how they do in other states but i am just speaking about what i see every weekend.

You can make anything fast...lol...im talking about just boltons.....I also hate to say it but i would put my $ on a boosted ls before i would a b16...By the way i have a 97 lude also so its not a i hate v-tec thing...
