I must say I was hapyy with the first run even though it was pathetic.Raced a buddy in his 5.0 and whopped him on his 14.9 and even got to take out my boys mercury maurader (SP?) 15.2. i must say I am very happy . No the real question is what to do next:
crower 403's(scared about gas mileage or would be first option)
build b17a in my garage or
rebuild b17a head to put on stock b18 bottom.(I do put alot of miles on my car though and I gotta the of relability.

any input? and is 18 psi good to run on yoks avs es 100's

almost forgot to mention my 2.207 60' almost my made my wet myself cause I have always had bad 60' in hondas... But I think I got it figured on this car. never got better than 2.3 on my SI.

 

I say rebuild that GSR.

 

rebuild the b17 unless u're willing to put the extra money into making a decent lsvtec.
imo - no point in halfassed hybrids, if u gonna do it do it right and u will be pleased.

pretty good times u put down too

 

I know, but It would be so easy to slap a set of non-vtec crower cams in that b18a and probally get very ggood numbers for less than a $500 investment. proper.....or
motor build
b17a 185whp ish couple grand
ls vtec 200whp ish few grand
crower 403's 150whp ish with a awesome powerband and low-end your monther would love. $400+tuning. decisions. decisions

 

I think more compression and 403s or 404s would be fun. That is my plan anyway. More track time is about the best mod you can do IMO.

 

Don't know if I would want more compression. I like the idea of putting a little lower octane in(lesss I"m cheap) if I am not driving hard. Have you seems gas prices lately.lol
I could probally with some crower's and stickier tires get real real close to the 13's

 

im,put

 

anyone else care to share some similar times or opinions?. wondering if 403's, some drag radials, and lots of tuning could get my hatch in the 13's. If that's the case I wiill stay non vtec until my motor starts to show some wear and than b17 and hopes of 12's. lol

 

Well. A bunch of things have changed. I blew the ls motor. So I put this b17 motor that was sitting in my garage for 3years. Motor runs flawless. Only changings were b17a, ctr crank pulley, and full-race tractin bars. so my 6oft times actually suffered, but not by much. still mid 2.2's.
1st run 60ft 2.257
1/4 14.46
trap 96.07
2nd run 2.28 60ft
1/4 14.32
trap 96.78.
Iam going for some drag radial's for next time
and soon to be a quaffie ans my bc3+ cams. I hop be be in th e mid thirteens. lol

ANY ADVICE.

wow, 14.3@ nearly 97 is pretty darn good!

 

yeah, I have an open diff, shitty tires, and also have full-rece traction bar. My 60' times were actually worse with the b17 and i have a fullracetraction bar. I'm getting some drag radials and the quaife. should be a solid 13 sec car. alt least until I get my bc3+ cams in. Repenin the little guys. the stock block b17 and hoping for mid 13's.

damn 15.3 out of a maurder wak.

 

mauraderers are heavy and slow even though they have 300 hrsepower. I'm going back to the track on wednesday with a set of drag radials and hoping for 2.0 60ft. times. I figures the radials alond with the full race traction bar I shouldn't have a problem getting into the 13's. just out of curiousity what kind of trap speeds are good for 13's

anyone else run b17's?

 

can't wait till wednesday!

 

went back and only removed my front from previous week.
60' 2.169 ( I love full race)
14.054 @98mph
13's are in my grasp with street tires, stock cams, a/c, and an open diff!

 

Wow, that's awesome!

Congrats man! I thought this thread was familiar, haha

 

i remember this one. so did you only get one run? or was that your best? with an intake and drag radials or even slicks you could run consistent 13.7-8s i would guess if not lower.

 

I deff need to ditch the airbox. I have a crapy ebay intake I could use. I got there late. only 2 runs 14.4 and 13.9. I have alot of learning to go with drag radials. I am very inconsistant.
