still good though

dzuy

60 2.437
330 6.696
1/8 10.104

1000 13.000
1/4 15.454 @ 91.52 mph

15.491 @ 91.75 mph

engine mods
comptech icebox
comptech header
comptech exhuast
hondata reflash
hondata intake manifold gasket
magnaflow high flow cat.

dzuy

compare these runs to my fastest run a couple months back,

i did not have the high flow cat and intake manifold gasket back then



my number back then was 1320

it was a little cooler back then tho

dzuy

all these runs are done on stock wheels and tires.

I can't tell if your R/T (reaction time, I assume) has improved over your previous run.

Regardless, 15.5 secs is pretty good for a NA 4-banging sedan.

dzuy

my reaction time did improve.

.303 on the first

079 on the second

it was .624 on the run long time ago.

15.4 sucks.

then dont buy a tsx

its not about the speed, it how you look doing it.

TinkyWinky

You definitely need a S/C, and better wheels/tires.

i'm thinking that this coming tiesday to hit route 66 and see what my car can pull with a noob behind the wheel............ but i think that experience counts alot, cause someone ran a 15.4ish stock (i think it was kurt bradley) and a hondataed comptech tsx should break into the 14's...... has anyone officially hit 14's?

TinkyWinky

Sounds impossible.

fdl

A couple people, (including sauceman with a timeslip) have gotten as low as 15.3 bone stock. With all the mods dzuy has he should be able to get into the 14's with the right driver and the right weather. Better tires would help alot too.

I started this thread a while ago and am still waiting

By the way, I dont really think this belongs in the photograph section

jlukja

wanna see my slalom time in the Astrovan?

laee3

grrrr will AT get any close time as that??? i'm really hoping for high 15's... my future mods are... Injen CAI, DC headers, and hondata... will i get there?

K24tunr

You're making good power, but your 60' is too high. 2.5 is not great. If you could get that down to 2.3 area your time will be down around a 15.1-15.2. If you got a drag radial of some sort I'm pretty sure you would hit 14's. The car is not the problem. Nice mods by the way. And a question was your vsa on or off?

Newplay1

sub 15s are good for our cars, I hope people are not comparing times with RSX type-s or S2000 or the new TLs...

dzuy

i dont need drag radials.

i bet falken azenis are good enough.

vsa is off.

i know 2.5s is a bad 60 foot. i should be getting 2.2

i blame it on my worn out stock tires.

dzuy

i ran a rsx-s on the street and beat it.

my friend has a 98 integra type r, which is a 14.7 sec car stock.

but he couldnt run faster than a 15.18 @ 92 mph.

my mph is almost as high as his.

So this is on the stock tires and no suspension mods? Is it an Auto tranny or 6 speed?

ran 1/4 mile on stock wheels and tires - tires have god knows how many miles, but are wearing out like a mofo.

ran vsa off.

wheel spin yes. wheel hop no.

93 or 94 degrees outside.

rained in the afternoon.

hope that covers all.

OK that helps. What about junk in the trunk ( Subs/amps and stuff ). Some cooler weather and definitely better tires would help. What kid of racing experience do you have? It's all about the driver too. I had a friend with a turbo galant with plenty of mods. He could not break into the 12's for all he could try. He let our other friend who is an accomplished racer run the car and the first run was a 12.8...

James

dzuy

that was my third time drag racing.

i never launch my car on the street..

i know better tires will help. i'm looking for some nice looking, lightweight 17 inch wheels for autocross and drag which i will buy falken azeni st-615

i want a 17 x 8 wheel w/ a 235/45 tire.

itrhybrid

iTrader: (1)

235's will definitely help with 60ft times. Try playing around with the launch RPM's too.

James

If you could do the first 60f around 2.2sec, it´d be very close to 15.0.
Anyway, to break into 14´s we need to lose some weight. Ripping the seats out might help. 15.4 with stock european ACCORD is not a problem. I´ve posted it before but ...here are my times again. I think with Hondata and some good tires I should be able to get at least 15.0xx.

dzuy

drag racing is so boring. it annoys me that i waited almost 4 hours and only ran 2 times.

compare that to the autocross that i ran 9 times - for about 40 seconds each run.

i'm really annoyed i cant get into the 14's, i might revisit the track once i get better tires.

i still have one more trick up my sleeve. :evil laugh:

:troutslap

TinkyWinky

Remove the spare tire? Drain all non-vital fluids? Remove the insulating mat under the hood? Atkins?

Do tell man.

dzuy

omg. you guys are heffers

ran with spare tire, 32 psi in the front / 30 rear (factory specs)

floor mats w/ all season floor mats installed.

radiator fluid full.

kept the insulation under the hood.

atkins? yea, i ate whataburger before running at the track.

what more would you like to know?

:troutslap

jiggaman

take the spare tire out, thats the problem!

TinkyWinky

Did you fully empty the bladder? What about a pre-race enema?

itrhybrid

iTrader: (1)

Take the spare out along with all the tools and drop your front tires to 20. That'll help a bit. Just make sure there's a gas station or air pump nearby to fill them up again when you're done.

James

Newplay1

16s? rota slipstreams? or Spoon 16s w/ lighter tires toyos?

tonka_146

look at the motegi trak lites they are super light

TinkyWinky

Why not fill your tires with helium?

K24tunr

Better tires, lower temps, should do the trick. Wait like another month or two til the temps drop, then go to the track and drop it like its hot!

Chopsie

ooof. I really like the TSX, but goddamn do they need some more power.
and for the record my GSR went 15.2@94 (just intake), just for your friends references.

Black_6spd

As a former teg owner, I've got to admit that while my teg may have been faster 0-60 and 1/4mile, the TSX is much more pleasant to drive in everyday conditions. With the Integra (including ITR), you absolutely have to kick its ass in every gear with the guy driving next to you hearing every rev.

My teg was fun, but the noise and roughness takes its toll on a 30+ year old.

Dzuy - just curious, how do you do against your friend's ITR on the auto-x? For me, my friends ITR is about dead even with my TSX (w/ intake only) from a roll. We messed around on the freeway a few times and he couldn't pull on me.

Of course, he gets the pleasure of landing vtec during upshifts...

dzuy

my friend didn't auto x against me.

my autox times stink - but i improved 10 sec from my initial run.

i have temporarily quit - my stock tires on my stock wheels blow - and i want to get some good rubber before i go out there again.

then hit the drag strip as well.

xizor

for real racing. and the stock tires do suck, I auto-x'd on them twice and they're were totally worn out after 5000 miles, good riddance.

Did you do a SCCA auto-x, if so, what class did you end up in?
