14.9!!!!!!!!!
 

good i suppose, less than i expected

60' ... 2.290
330 ... 6.312
1/8 ... 9.653
MPH ... 74.19
1000 ... 12.547
1/4 ... 14.997
MPH ... 91.32

for all the haters out there ;)

Re: 14.9!!!!!!!!!
 

When do you hit your 'go button'? What gear?

You must be running a 100 shot for those times.

Cause those are really low.

actually, im running a 75 shot and intake, everything else is completely stock, well and open exhaust from the rear axle back

I been spraying in 1st gear once i grip and hit about 3500 RPM , i been doing it forever and never had any nitrous caused problems

:D I'll be switching over to direct port soon, which will be cutting my times down a bit more i hope

How long do you spray for, the whole 1/4? I'm not too familiar with nitrous and how it's used.

i usually only spray untill about 90-95, from what i've heard the limit is about 15 seconds consistantly max

you dont wanna use it too long in the higher RPMs, itll make your motor run too lean and go kaboom.

:D

well, i swallow my previous words...

you were faster than mid to low 15's

good job..

question?
 

I do not have a 1/4 mile local track here we have a 1000ft track.I run low 12's and have ran a 11.92 @89.35mph what is the estimated 1/4 mile time on this or is it impossible to say until i hit a 1/4 mile track.

Re: question?
 

Probably a low 14 sec run (14.2-.4). What kind of 60 foot times are you running?

60ft
 

2.2's 2.3's

Re: 60ft
 

That's not too bad. I'm assuming that's on street tires.

I have a few questions about your signature though.

You have a DX block with an LX head? Doesn't that give you a low compression ratio? I'd read on the solomiata sight that using SOHC pistons in a DOHC give you 8.2:1 compression.

And what does the "spider welded gears from an 89' civic putting positive track @383 ratio." mean? No diff? If so, how do you drive on the street?

I read on another forum that you have 161 whp. That's pretty good. And with the restriction of a VAF. I imagine half of Braden's (Turboge) NA gains were from removing that restriction (and using a speed-density system).

thanks
 

I only drive occasionally on the street just when I go honda hunting.My brother put performance pistons from a probe gt I believe the compression is 10.2:1 OR SOME WHERE around there.This car is very loud and runs very rough at low rpms but when you get in its ass it goes.Any suggestions about getting more of the power to the ground.I have bad wheel hops and shutters off the line.

motor mounts may help the wheel hop

and engine management is probably the cause of the shudder

is ur car all motor?

yes all motor
 

What kind of motor mounts new ones or some other type?I am all motor but considering turbo.What kind of turbo is the best if you had to choose?

im not sure what corksport has for the first gens....
but harder mounts, like urethane ones

cause ur motor is floppin around in ur engine bay with that much power

turbowise, if i was u i would go for a smaller turbo
somthing that only pumps out small boost levels so u dont get much lag

and with the high compression u cant have too much boost anyways...
but ur gonna need good intercooling too

and get it tuned properly if its already chugging at low rpm

mind your own buisness
 

I do not remember any one asking you what fit where and who made what to go here or there.You have no idea what my brother is capable of.Are you stupid enuff to think he just took a piston from another engine and put in there there is nothing about my engine that is capatable anymore.the cylnders have bored out the pistons have smaller rings then are required I don't even know what arms and or lifters he used to make it all come together.If I want any advice from a nerd who waits to jump on new people to the sight,I will have a lapse in judgement and ask for selfish opinion.Does it get you off trying to discredit someone who is sharing they're love of the protege.I thought that is what this sight was for.But I guess it is for pathetic losers like yourself who think they know everything do jump on people you do not even know.And if you have a problem with the way my pro is set up then line your slow ass up.I would love to snatch the pink slip to your pro out of your hand and give it to someone who truly respects it and the people who love the pro.BACK OFF cause I promise you there is not a n/a pro on here that can hang here buddy.

Dude, chill out. We're just trying to get the details of your setup. If you want to make a bold claim and say that you enjoy "sharing they're love of the protege", then you can tell us what you've got. Don't just spout off about how awesome your car is, then refuse to get specific about what you've done to it and get all huffy when someone calls your bluff. :D

Otherwise, we will be forced to conclude that it's all :bs:

BTW I have a couple more questions...
1) Exactly what are "spider welded gears from an 89' civic putting positive track @383 ratio." Huh? :D
2) Where exactly is this 1000' dragstrip? I have never seen a strip that wasn't either 1/8 mile or 1/4 mile.

Please enlighten us. :bt:

ok
 

It is just that I have seen that guy on here trying to always putting people down.

Spider weld is where you weld the limited slip to make it true positive track.my brother used a civic 4 speed with 383 gears
I am not the mechanic I just drive it hard.And I think all the BS flags are for jealous folks.

As for the track it is called centerville and it is in arkansas look it up they are on the net I think.

And I didn't say my car was awesome,but I think it is quick for a pro.

Why in the world are you using a Honda Civic 4-speed tranny, and how did you make it fit? :confused: It seems to me that an LX tranny would work much better.

And to answer an earlier question, yes, welded spider gears means no differential. I would like to know how this car manages to negotiate tight turns. :eek:

Re: Re: mind your own buisness
 

Burn!!!!! :D If his brother was, I doubt his car would still be running! ;)

So with these spider welded gears, wouldn't that make it really squirelly in the corners? I know you don't really care since you have a lot of straight-line mod things, but isn't it a driveability thing? Does that make it like a 'posi'???

Re: Re: Re: mind your own buisness
 

Welding the spider gears locks the diff up solid. An LSD (Posi-Traction is just the brand name offered by GM, there are numerous other types) locks the wheels together when you need straightline traction, but fully or partially releases to allow the car to turn corners. A locked diff never allows the wheels to turn at different speeds; they are... locked. :D

A locked diff forces one front wheel to slip when you turn corners- in other words, the car will resist turning. If the front wheels are locked, it will induce severe understeer under almost all cornering situations and horrendously increase steering effort; the tighter the corner, the worse it gets. It also creates tremendous loads on the drivetrain, which will break axles, the diff itself, or various other parts of the tranny, particularly if the car is driven on surfaces with uneven traction.

In short, this is a race-only mod on a FWD car. It will usually make the car undrivable on the street.

Re: Re: Re: Re: mind your own buisness
 

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for :) I never heard of that done on a FWD car before (with good reason I guess).

oh man...
