what do you guys see that i need inproving on besides the obvious needing more power. for what i have does this look good. btw, the guy in the laft lane is in a 99 si with all the bolt ons, his best of the night was a 16.3

 

ttt

 

About the norm. What elevation are you at there?

 

launch was bad, get a ex tranny & exhaust

 

hmm, i was launching at 5500, and it would spin for a split second hook and go. im thinking about getting vtec controller to drop my point about 400 rpm. once in vtec the car is a rocket, its just between shifts it falls out of vtec. and eventualy a cam, gear, and mill the head .030 for some more comp. what is the optimal exhaust to run with for all-motor with the 1.5. we are at about 5100 ft. it seems like everyone was running fairly slow, there was a supered ex @6psi running 16.1, and a gsr ef hatch running 16.1, and like i said my buddy has the 99 si with all the bolt ons and his fastest was a 16.3, the evo's were high 14's with mods, even the tt supras were only running mid 13's with a good amount of mods. so i dont really feel bad for what i have. just looking at where to go next. im trying to find an ex,si,y8 tranny but there all like 3-4 hundred and thats way too much, so someone hook me up.

 

Check ebay always have ex/si trans for 200 or so. Also your times are good for elevation. If you get the ex/si trans you wont fall out of vtec.

 

what kinds of improvements can i see from just a tranny swap, because i think thats my downfall right now, also would it help any to get a fields vtec controller?

 

i wish i could have made it out.. elevation is closer to 3500 vtec controller wouldnt help too much.. tranny swap would help tons but more practice.. better tires.. would significantly drop your times.. the 60' time wasnt too grand.. needs to get bellow 2.2 for sure.. the evos have ran much stronger here at the last street legal night..

 

Should take.5 tenths off your time

 

ya not sure, everyone seemed to be real slow saturday night, well, the vtec controller im hoping will compliment the cam and gear and milling the head, im in desperate need of a tranny, anyone, i mean anyone let me know.

 

here this is a tad better, im on the left



everyone kept coming to check out my car and couldnt believe i was running this time with what i have

 

ok, ive got a y8 tranny on the way, and a y8 manifold that im going to have port matched to a ls throttle body, then a full 2.25" exhaust, with slicks, and mill the head 3 thousandths with a mild port and polish, cam gear, and fiels vtec controller. what should i be possibly running with this setup, im thinking probably mid to low 14's, ive been told the tranny should drop .5 off of my time alone. im not going to run a header because im just going to turbo it soon anyways and no need to buy something that will be replaced anyways.

 

anyone?

 

possibly slower. you must tune with those type of mods. expect slower that way when you get your time it suprises you

 

Just curious, Who where you racing against, is it just me or doesn't a 13.6 with a 89 mph trap speed seems kind of odd.

 

that guy hit the brakes.. they were braket racing

 

my god, was his dial in off or what???

 

that was my buddy in a 92 fwd talon with a **** load done to it, he was having a problem with a slipping clutch and when he put it in 3rd, it actualy grabbed and took off. so he broke out while he was hard on the brakes. his quickest time is 12.8. so ya he was having a problem with his dial-ins.

 

looking at your times and set up..... i'm one shitty driver you did good dude

 

i was happy with my times

not to bad though for a sohc civic all motor, suprised me that you got into the 15's

 

ya, still on the oem manifold and 1.50" exhaust. i feel pretty good about it
