If I ever make it down to L.I. I NEED to drive your car.:thumbsup:

Yonkersracing 08-23-2012 09:34 PM

haha we're not in LI but most def come thru, I'd like a run

Who the hells driving that EG? Poor car :(

Your car is soooo sick. Reminds me A LOT of when I had my Si (and the pulls I'd do with unsuspecting victims lol), and confuses me even more that people don't believe my times at the track.

Nice pulls bud!

PS-I will say that Bimmer sounded sick when it was gearing down to do the pulls...smoke wasn't a great sign tho lol.

lol. you raaaaang?!

Whats wrong with the eg?

TypeYes 08-29-2012 09:13 PM

That 4th to 5th shift let the Bimmer come back around it...and then those revving/downshifts at the end of race...lol...just funny.
Idk if you're implying you were driving the eg or not...gave me wood to hear it scream tho.

As always, nice vids....that RSX of yours is quick :thumbsup:

Yonkersracing 08-29-2012 10:46 PM

That 5 to 4 downshift was pretty sick, I thought. Gotta love e-cutouts. Honda 5th gear fail strikes again, that BMW got reeled and should have never came back.

Ha:thumbsup: Yeah, im in the eg
Yeah, i don't usually like to throw 5th cus overdrive but bimmer guy asked for a top end run and i promised not to lift before he did ;)

Rev was purely from excitement inside the cockpit. i was laughing hysterically hearing the car brrrrrrrrrrrr in 5th

It was funny watching the "from rsx-s" view first cuz I saw this car in the far lane fly up on the BMW and then stay even...I was thinking "wtf did that guy do, let off?" Then I watched your view and realized you misshifted/had to shift out of vtec.

Yonkersracing 08-30-2012 10:13 PM

Yeah that 5th gear is killer, 5th gear sucks in my car and I have a 6 speed, can only imagine that 5th speed falls on it's face w/ just simple bolt ons in 5th gear. A set of cams/valvetrain upgrade would definitely help ;)

Sonnick 08-30-2012 11:09 PM

Cams ftmfw.

TypeYes 08-31-2012 09:53 AM

Would a vtec controller help, to drop the engagement a couple thousand rpms?

Sonnick 08-31-2012 10:18 AM

^ The EG is tuned with Hondata.

TypeYes 08-31-2012 01:11 PM

Word...can you drop vtec engagement with it like you can with Flashpro? I know it's not really worth it cuz it's nice to have 5th/overdrive for highway cruising, but would be cool to see the difference. Obviously, a different final drive would help too.

Yonkersracing 08-31-2012 07:32 PM

Yes, Hondata S300 you can do pretty much everything Flashpro and KPRO can do, probably more. His VTEC is set lower but you don't want to set it too low b/c then you will kill gas mileage and it's not really beneficial to making more power. Tuning Cam Angles however is a great way to pick up power.

what did that timeslip say for that EG? man nice videos and that EG sounds killah!! that made me miss my DA6 with B16B(CTR) swap revving to 9,000rpm!!! mmmBBWAHHH!!! 4bangers FTW!!! as always your RSX is just on beast mode! that Bimmer never stood a chance!

Yonkersracing 09-01-2012 03:21 AM

13.5 @ 100

TypeYes 09-02-2012 09:04 AM

Yea I know dropping Vtec engagement wouldn't give him anymore overall power, but it would give him more power at whatever rpm he drops to in 5th from redline 4th. Gas mileage aside, it'd be cool to see how hard he would pull in 5th gear vtec with that long ass gear.

4th>5th gear change lands well within vtec.

TypeYes 09-03-2012 05:35 PM

Really? This is due to S300...correct? I can't imagine you ever being able to hit vtec in 5th with a stock ecu.

Yeah, I'm not sure what his is set at but my VTEC was lowered to engage between 4400-5200rpm I believe it was. There's a window for it....if you are going partial throttle in my car at least, you can literally feel the cam change over.

I think stock VTEC was 5800 but don't quote me, it's been awhile, lol. My tune will be 2 years old in a couple weeks.
