any suggestions/comments welcomed.

oh and im hopin to duck into the 14s with an exhaust and stickier tires...

 

Not bad man.

My first time with a B18a in my CRX I did about the same (15.1)

Keep practicing

 

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????


first time I raced my STOCK crx si (1/8) I ran almost a 10 flat, I think you may want to let your car wind out a little more before you shift

 

Well the earlier b18a's only had like 130 HP or something weak like that.

He's probably only pushing 115 WHP, maybe a little less.

His times don't seem that bad for that amount of HP.

 

nice times for your first time at the track, especially if you've only been driving a stick for a month. what the hell were you racing tho? lol 19 seconds at 69mph

 

with a 3 second 60ft. haha

 

next time disconnect the exhaust right off the header. Not bad for your first time, I ran a 14.7 in my ZC with the same mods.

 

whats with the carquest thing?
i work at a carquest.. so im just wondering.. lol

good times tho

It prolly got nasty wheelspin, broke something before the 1/8 mark, and coasted the rest of the way

for sure

 

could be waaay better with a good 60 foot time

 

Nice time considering it was your first time out. The first time i went to the track with a b18a i ran a 9.9. After a month or so i was running consistent 9.3's and 9.4's. So IMO practice is the best way to bring down the et's. But definately good times . Glad to see that more people are rocking the b18a. I wish i coulda gotten a clean run when it was boosted...i burnt the rings on my first run...but i still ran a 9.3@80mph with 2 and 1/2 cylinders and 6psi so i wasnt too pissed. Now im back to NA with i/h/e, skunk2 IM, and exospeed LS909 cams and i cant wait to get to the track. D@mn im hijacking your thread. Good times with the LS...non vtec powa baby

 

Not bad, but definitely no 5 liter eater.

 

If it's bone stock and from the early/mid 80's....it probably can

 

those are definitely pretty good times. where in the burgh are you located??

its good to hear im gonna be able to duck into 14s. sorry to hear about the burnt rings on boost. howd you burn the rings anyways? too much boost? overheating? lack of oil?

right now im stuck on wanting a vtec head or boosting? i know vtec can be much more reliable but the power from boost is sooooo hard to overlook. any opinions?

 

I burnt the rings because my crappy *** fuel controller took a **** on me. But if i were you id go turbo. You are right in the fact that vtec engines are reliable...but LS/Vtec engines really arent anymore reliable than a boosted LS. Or if you wanted to stay all motor you could get a thinner headgasket, some nice beefy cams, skunk2 IM, ignition and fuel upgrade and tune that bitch. I guarantee that youll jaw will hit the floor when you feel what a properly built all motor LS will do

not bad good luck!!!!

 

very nice man , my first time at the track i ran a 14.9, went back a few weeks later and bettered that 14.9 with a 14.7. Right now i my setup is a 88 hf, with a b18b a 88-91 S-1 tranny, dc 4-2-1 header, custom exhaust, and cold air intake on street tires.

alot of people talk up the turbo aspect but you dont hear alot about the n/a setups. i think im starting to lean towards all motor (not going to mechanical lifters but...) and maybe duck into the thirteens with some aggressive cams, intake mani, tb, and the ignition and fuel upgrades.

buttttt....
turbo is such a tease...
