0-60 times
 

What does a Stock 92-95 model Civic coupe 1.5 do 0-60 and quarter mile. also what is its top speed?

i cant be sure about this but a rough guess from at the track performances i oversaw can be guessed at about mid to high 12 second 0-60's and mid to high 18 second 1/4 mile for autos and about low to mid 11's for 5spd and low 18's 1/4 mile.

for top speed you will find it shutting off fuel at about 120 or so...:crazy:

Are talking about 0-60MPH? Or 0-60FT times?


I don't think they are that slow. I'd believe 9-10 0-60MPH & high 17's.

Then again I've not seen a completely stock 5th gen run at the track.

0-60MPH times.
12 Seconds!!!!
i was kinda hoping it would at least be under 10 seconds. LOL, spose it is a auto 1.5 how would i knock it down to around 9's Induction kit, and full exhaust? or am i still dreaming.

You asked about 92-95 Civics...Yet you have a 96? The times are different.

nah it was registered in 96 but its a last of the line sort of thing. but its a 92-95 EG model. it confuses everyone. lol.

well mine runs 8's 0-60 and well just look what i got

How did you measure that?

so your 102hp DX with added weight is running an 8s 0-60? ok. :rolleyes:

should be somewhere between 9-11 seconds...thats real rough but I think my 97 coupe gets to 60 in 9.something maybe 10.

i know my ex doesn't take 12 seconds to get to 60...probly more like 9-10

So i could get it down to 9's with a induction kit and exhaust?

You don't need FI to get into the 9s 0-60. Just bolt ons would do IMO.

I think he means cold air induction (as in AEM).

Oh yeah, oops. A CAI and exhaust should be fine for 9s in the 0-60 I think.

That just shows how restrictive the origanal air filter and exhaust is. thanks guys

what times are you doing 0-60 AzCivic?
9's

12.17

Well i don't think this really counts but i wanted to know so i tested it myself. Had my friend with a NON-digital watch clock my time. So it was my car, loaded with the both of us, and my hockey bag. The car wasn't in race mode, but we tried anyways...

roughly 14 seconds.

I'm sure if i had a digital timer, and the car was in race mode, then it's be about 12.

Heck if I know, maybe I should get a G-Tech.

gtec? what you dont like to guess by the seat of your jeans and count seconds using your cd player?? :D

I pretend its about 4.5 seconds, then I wake up.

1995 Honda Civic EX
0-60 in 8.4 seconds
1/4 16.5 seconds

1996 Honda Civic DX
0-60 in 8.5 seconds
1/4 16.7 seconds

1996 Honda Civic HX
0-60 in 9.4 seconds
1/4 17.1 seconds

How can a Dx and a Ex be so close when there's like a 20hp difference???

Weight.

Where did you get those numbers?

different places :yes: ;) But keep in mind you guys that better times are easily attainable...especially with the EX :yes:

SO in three days we have gone from 12-14 seconds 0-60
to 8.5/9 seconds hmmm i wonder who is right and who is wrong? :crazy:

->SOURCE<-

How's that? The 92-95 model has 2hp less.

Someone needs to get a damn Gtech and find out. Someone other than me.

GTECH? Those things are notoriously inaccurate. Look at the link above. Much more reputable.

They are consistant, but inaccurate, meaning that if you want to make a base run and see how your mods improve your times, etc. they are good. If you want an actual value, that isn't the best way to find it.

Those fools(at Gtech) are lying then? Well damn, never mind.

where in gods name did you here gtech's where inaccurate????

whoever told you that is wrong.

road and track tested them vs. a real dyno and got less than the advertised +/- 3hp everytime.

the only thing that makes them inaccurate are there limited load ranges. A hard launch or slight change in angle of the hill/road your on can affect the numbers.

they are perfectly accurate and consistant. the only inaccuracy is in user error.

The inaccuracy is in normal roads. We don't all have the perfect flat straightaways.....

Exactly, I should have mentioned it.

7 seconds from 0-60 mhp on a stock engine???? It cant be true..

then there is NO inaccuracy in the unit. it's driver/conditional error that screws things up. you shouldn't go around bashing the most revolutionary product released in 20 years cuz you can't find a straight road.

I'm not trying to be a dick it's just that Noob's could read that and be like oh im not getting one of those. then the good people at g-tech loose money cuz you mis-informed somebody.

Misinformed? Read it again. I stated the same thing you jsut said. Conditional error = roads not always flat. Simple as that. I've used them and I know for fact they are not that accurate on everyday roads.

Do you own some Tesla stock or something? You seem to hold the G-Tech on an almighty pedestal.

Its a unique device and can give a rough idea of how your car is performing. But it is in no way something to use for precision. That is unless you have some perfect flat roads around.

There have been many posts on message boards where people would take their Gtechs to the track and come up with significantly different numbers than what they had on their timeslips also.

so so true...and if anyone says that the Gtech IS accurate then don't listen because they obviously don't know what they are talking about. They are a scam and VERY innacurate

they're not a scam it's a friggin accelerometer. it has limits so if you pull over 3 g's on launch then ya that can screw it up. but how many of you guys are pulling 3g's.

it's not the instrument thats faulty. You guys are calling it a scam when your lack of driving skills seem to be the problem.

And as far as owning stock hell no. but that doesn't change the fact that these guys released a product that can only be replaced by a dyno or track time. for dirt cheap at that. look at these halmeters and other wideband o2 or vtec controllers. they're all simple electronics that some company charges an arm and a leg for. the people at gtech could have done the same thing but they didn't they made it affordable to the average person.

SO ONCE AGAIN... If you can't drive your car well and screw up the thing's readings or if you CHOOSE to try it on an uneven road then YOU are the malfunctioning unit. not the gtech.

So unless road & track decided to throw away there years of experience and good name to sell some gtech's your all wrong.

Oh.... so a nameless HS members with no credentials or experience in test driving cars are more reliable than the guys at road and track??????

I don't think so. there are LOTS of totally misinformed threads on this site.

just because it's hard to get accurate results doesn't mean the device is at fault.

I'm not saying that people don't get inaccurate results.

I'm saying that it's there fault not tesla's or the g-tech's.

If you used a scientific scale to measure the weight of something down to the thousanth of 10thousanth and didn't eliminate wind then your results would be inaccurate. It's not because the sealed scale your using is inaccurate it's because YOU used it in a way that will make it inaccurate (not closing the doors).

I own a gtech pro. I'm not knocking it down, but they aren't that accurate. Read my previous post.

I never called it a scam. A slightly inaccurate device does not constitute a scam.

Tell me this: how can bad driving affect the measurement, assuming you trip it (which I've never had not happen).

1. They are that accurate. there is nothing in it to malfunction. it consists of a 3g accelerometer and a chip that takes the info givin by the accelrmtr. multiplies it by the weight you entered and divedes by time. there is nothing for IT to screw up.

2. I know you didn't someone else did.

3. if you buck forward between shifts it screws up the reading
if you pull past 3g's in any direction it screws it up.
if you pick a road that has any side to side or front to back variations it can quickly account for an inaccurate reading.

I'm not saying that if your a good driver it'll work perfect everytime.

What I am saying is that ABSOLUTELY NO FAULT LIES WITH THE G-TECH it's design or components. it is ENTIRELY user error if you don't get accurate responses.

It takes some getting used to and yes after borrowing one for 2 weeks I did get consistant and imo accurate results.

the biggest problem i see with it is that you have no idea what to actually enter for the weight.

sure sure lots of people say it's in the door jam (it is)
and other say it includes the weight of 4 passengers (it may)
NOW try and figure out the actual weight of your car from that..
it's not gunna happen you have to get it weighed on an industrial scale for accurate weight.

NOW... If you really want to point out it's weakness' .

1. they should have an option to mount 4 other accelerometers at the corners of your car so it could deduce road conditions.
2. It should have at least 2 accelerometers where 1 is now. so it can accomidate for over 3g's (I'd personally say it should have 3 so you can measure it more accurately.)
3.MOUNT IT ON A GYROSCOPE. this'll remove any chance of user error.

AGAIN. I'm not trying to be a dick it's just that the statement
" those things are really inaccurate" is FALSE.

they are very accurate therefore VERY hard to use.

OMG you really have no clue :no:

OMG you're just talking out your ass TRYING to save face. If you want to go and waste your money on one...be my guest...more power to you kid.

BTW...yeah I'm really in HS huh and have no "crudentials":rolleyes: Why don't you go do a search, look at my replies to threads and then see if you still think I'm dumb lol. Look kid, I mod 3 other boards and don't need some kid coming on here trying to act like he knows what he's talking about and steer others in the wrong direction....it's people like you that ruin other people's cars by giving them half assed, misinformation. Why don't you go buy a G-Tech, record your passes and then take it to a track and see your times and you would be pleasantly surprised. Until then, quit posting innaccurate, ignorant comments that have no value!!

I'm not trying to save face I could give a **** about anyone's opinion.

What exactly did I say that was inaccurate??
I don't plan on buying a g-tech nor do I suggest anyone else does.
""crudentials":rolleyes: " Thats not how I spelled it so... I'm not sure wtf you meant by that.

I'm not steering anyone anywhere. People stated they're inaccurate. That's not true. if it where then you'd figure that the many magazines' out there that have tested them wouldn't keep friggin raving about them.

as I said they are very hard to use. and in my post I talked about many flaws but none of them are really with the unit. it's accurate it's just hard to get accurate results.

Also I wasn't even goddam talking to you. I was replying in general to the post about them being inaccurate.

I'm so sick of you little B*tches whining about how I should look at your posts... Like I give a shit. what was said was inaccurate I corrected it. Quit being so sensitive and lashing out.

I'm not saying YOU are a dumbass. I'm saying that lots of kids (no i didn't mean YOU specificly or anyone else who posted on this thread.) get a gtech cant figure it out get wrong times and get pissed. that does not make them inaccurate. in the hands of road and track they reproduced everysingle run they did within ALL of the tolerance's that tesla advertise. I'm not saying you'll get the same results. But the device was PROVEN accurate.

Grow up chill out and don't go slinging Your a Bullshitter around because NOTHING I said was inaccurate.
