adjusted my valves today and i couldnt explain the feeling. 19 of the 24 valves were wayy off. motor runs like a freight train. and NOW CHIRPS 2nd =). i thought it was pretty impressive for our cars. anyone else to join the club?

 

Yeah mine always has, it always seems like my car is just a little more powerful than a stock one. It does it with both my 19 and 17 inch rims

 

I'm getting my valves adjusted soon and I cant wait. I can hear them ticking all the time.

 

Get new tires. rofl.

 

yea i get the chirp going from 1st to 2nd depending on how u mash the pedal. ESPECIALLY if ur on a turn.. the wheel jumps left to right when going from 1st to 2nd.

I got a video on PHOTOBUCKET.com under the profile CL-SPorgression01

let me know how fast my car is in comparison to urs. Prolly close from the sounds of it.

FYI i am CHIRPING in the video cause i did that run after an ecu reset and it did nothing as my car pulls that hard all the time and I wanted to prove it to some Aziners, that the ecu reset is a hit or miss, depending on the car i guess

 

My old motor would on occasion chirp them going into 2nd.

Now that im manual i can occasionally get them to do it into 3rd

 

x2^

and 4th if your lucky

 

Same here. Now that my clutch is slipping I can barely chirp 2nd.

But a lot of it has to do with what kind of tires u have and the road conditions. I used to chirp 3rd at the 1/4mile track when I sprayed. Peeled out all the way to 4th on the street when I sprayed. Also, maintanace is key for these cars to run stong and long

 

I got a clp auto and mine chirps 2nd just about anytime I want it to.on spray I'll spin threw 2nd no problem.wishing I could chirp 3rd

For those that can't in a cls,I feel for you.
Try it on a slick black patch of asphault or painted cross walks should get lazy shifts chirp'n.

 

in my old 01 CL-S, I used to shirp into 2nd only off the drive right after starting the car, then that was it, no more till the next time I started her.

My 03 CL can keep screeching through 2nd as long as I press the gas when I have my 19" DT3 wheels and 225/35/19 tires Nitto Neogen tires.

But with my 255/35/18 Pirrelli's and Legend wheels, I can barely get a chirp out of 2nd gear at all. Grip is awesome, it just hooks up and goes. Even with the blower!

 

I used to chirp second when my tranny was going bad and my tires were bald.... New Tranny and Tires = No more chirping.

 

On the 17s I spin through second, with the 19s I spin alittle bit.

 

still chirp going in to second while N/A.

Need new motor mounts though

 

I did it for the first time a couple days ago after I put my atlp on. I've got ~22lb 19's with toyo proxes

 

depends on the road condition, I can chirp to second easily probably because my tires suck but on different roads I can chirp to 3rd

 

ive got F1 GSD3s up front (or back when i feel like taking turns) with plenty of tread on them....

AUTOMATIC PEOPLE!! you bettter be able to chirp 3rd in the 6SPDs =P. my friends 370z chirps 4th

 

You can definitly chirp beter with newer tires.The traction is what makes them chirp.

 

MANTIS!! . . . you old dog. Good to see you're still lurking around.

Still working in the area? If so let's do a lunch sometime.

As for the motor mounts . . I'll hit up Josh and see what's up. We should be really close on getting the new mounts.

Oh, yeah . . . back on to the thread. Mine chirps and if I punch it in 1st around 20-30 it'll even spin the tires nicely . . or not so much as it wears them down sooner. Not bad for an N/A AT.

I've got to try this tomorrow. I know I need to have VSA off, anything else?

 

put it in "1" (gate shift) and move it over to "2" at about 6600rpm that way when it does switch u will be at around 6700-6800rpm (where we make peak hp). or u can just leave it in d5 and floor the shit out of it.

 

Sweet! Tomorrow's drive to school should be fun!

 

Yeah i do it all the time its not realy that hard, the hard is doing it in 3rd lol. Def not bad for an auto though!

 

Sweeeeeeeett!!! Just peel the tires in my car coming back from store. Read this thread and decided to try it out. VSA off and runnin 20" tire(nitto nt555)..POWER! Lol

 

on both my old tl-s i could chirp 2nd and 3rd its just the way you shift. people dont believe it but its possible. i talked my friend through it while he was driving my tl and he was able to do it too. and i had some heavy ass 18'' adr's. Have any of you guys tried the blox velocity stack?

 

blox velocity stack? is that a TB or IM spacer?

 

Mine does too some of the time if the conditions are just right

I thought ever one chirped 2nd p or s

Also I dont think you need to take VSA off to chirp only too spin in second

I think this thread is a good indication who the crazy drivers ie. the ones that know it chirps in to second LOL

 

my p never chipped 2nd

 

Not a spacer. It attaches to the intake and before the air filter. In the case of the example of the one in the URL below the filter installs over it.

Note, the Comptech Icebox uses this same approach. In my case, not only do I have the CT Icebox, but I've attached a velocity stack to the end of my ram-air. I gained almost 2ths at the track with this set up.

A bit more info on velocity stacks.

Dyno comparison.

I've seen them sticking threw the hoods on civic's at the track.

 

i chirpped 3rd a time or two really tiny bit

 

Usually turbo'd or high HP N/A motors. Most track Civics dont have air filters, just a velocity stack. Also used on ITBs. Theyre incredibly simple and effective.

 

The one's I seen have 4 if I'm not mistaken besides the turbo's that have one huge one.

 

If there are 4 velocity stacks those are ITBs. If theyre on the front of the engine bay poking through the hood, dont even bother racing them. They have a K series, and even in the heavier EK chassis they still run 13s at the absolute least. If they have ITBs though, chances are at least the head has been built, so they should be in the 12s or faster depending on chassis and if they can drive.

Off topic - succeeded!

 

^their u go again with the off topic.

 

Im sorry! I cant control it.

 

dont know hard hard it is to tune those cars but,there usally the fastest little civics there. The go down the track snaping poping making all kinds of f@#$ed up sounds and they're fast.

 

Hondata K-Pro makes it all easy.

Off-topic done.

 

I have found mine will chirp 2nd every time using sportshift - probably due to the quicker shift. Also, i notice it gives a harder jerk with the chirp after fresh oil (seriously). Makes regular changes that much more enticing.

 

When I bought mine it would with the stock Michelins but after wider tires not too much. Conditions have to be just right.
