**updated** turboD16 track results
 

Finally got the chance to take my car to the tracks! If you don't already know I drive a 99 Civic EX (D16Y8) with a GReddy 19T turbo kit. Here's the setup:

GReddy 19T turbo kit at .35-.4 Bar (stock boost)
GReddy EVO
Johnnyracecar 5" Intercooler

And the result:

BEST RUN of the night
60' 2.402
330 6.671
1/8 10.148
MPH 71.79
1000 13.088
1/4 15.597
MPH 89.89

BEST MPH
90.69

What do you think?

not bad. very good reaction time. so your using about 5LB of boost?

yeah, at most i'm runnin' 5.8 psi

nice, 14's should be easy if you up the boost a tad bit and nail some good 60foot times.

reaction times? Where? The 60 foot times arent too great. Definately need some practice there. I have cut a 2.13 60 foot on stock factory 13" rims with stock tires on my D16Z hatch. Cut a better 60 foot, push a few more pounds of boost and u will definately be in the 14's.

how in the heck did you pull a 2.1 60' on stock tires?

What was the outside temperature and relative humidity like during your run?

man....I gotta take my shit to the track....

i know my 60' wasn't the best since i pulled a 2.3 before (still isn't the best but better). i was runnin' stock tires on stock steelies and unfortunately it was dusty at the tracks, probably because its been raining. i also did not bother to do a burnout so that may have contributed to my not so great 60' also your d16z hatch is lighter than my 99 coupe..

i don't know the exact number but it was warm out that day

hey that looks good. i have a 97 ex, puttong a greddy turbo on it so i should be able to run as well as you did, good job:cool:

ohh yeah I forgot to mention I had a Phantom Grip LSD in the tranny. Its not really a good LSD but I guess it helps a little. As far as the times goes its just practice, and proper susension tunning. Practice makes perfect. Lots of people go to the track and spin tires out of the hole and think its fast. Spinning tires SLOWS your times down. I have spun 10-15 feet out of the hole on a shitty track (my first run) and still managed a 2.4. The object is to keep the tires on the verge of breaking loose, but yet still retain traction. My best 60' time was on 80 degree weather, track was very hot and sticky. I dropped the clutch at 4,000 RPM if that tells u how hard she hooked. That run was a 14.9 if I rememeber right. Not my best ET but my best 60 foot. My best ET to date with that car is a 14.8 @ 94 MPH. That was in 40 degree wether and I pulled a 2.20 60 foot on that time. As far as 60 foot times I dont think its all that impressive. People are running 1.90-2.10's all day long on 15" rims with Falkien Azenis tires on hatchbacks.

went to the tracks again and here is my current best time.... same setup as before just better driving.

BEST RUN of the night (7/27/04)
60' 2.304
330 6.446
1/8 9.805
MPH 74.08
1000 12.683
1/4 15.138
MPH 91.66

if i can trim my 60' to at least a 2.2 i'm digging into a sub-14 second 1/4 mile on stock steelies and suspension!

that night i managed to beat a spec V with I/H/E and a stock GS-T

good deal. Like I said practice makes perfect. U are definately getting closer to the 14 seconds.

good times - my best was 15.631 on my third run ever.

BEST RUN of the night (8/19/04)
60' 2.268
330 6.349
1/8 9.672
MPH 74.81
1000 12.501
1/4 14.930
MPH 94.93

the only difference this time is I had KYB AGX/Pro-Kit and i removed the backseat.

hey hey nice 14 sec (and change) run! Can't wait till i can join the 14 second club (or at this point, the 15 second club haha)

hell yeah! I knew u could do it! Good job! Now lets turbo up the boost and run 13's!!!

thanks for the support! i wanna keep the boost conservatively low because i still have the stock steelies and they wouldn't grip anyways, and this is my daily driver so i can't run the risk of blowing it up, yet.....

once i get my oil cooler and i beefed up my drivetrain i will definitely crank it up....

way to go...keep up the ncie times. :yes:

turn up the boost, just feather the throttle more. Its all in the driver whether he can control it or not. Anyone can drive a slow car, its when u start making some decent power when driving skils really come into play.
There is as guy running around with a 2004 SRT-4 neon. He has the stage 1 kit from mopar, intake, and exhaust, and he is running 18 pounds of boost. On the dyno he made 261 WHP, and 282 ft-pounds of torque at the wheels! Its funny cuz he still cant beat me on the street! Theoretically he should absolutely slaughter me. I mean I only have intake and exhaust and traction bars on my H22 hatch, and the car is running seriously rich (walbro fuel pump). I would guess I am only running about 210 flywheel horsepower and he is running roughly about 300 flywheel horsepwer or so, and gobs more torque than I. He just cant hang. From a roll he would murder me but anyone can race from a roll, he just cant touch me from a stop to about 100-120 MPH. I have 1 car to 1.5 lengths on him by 50 MPH. The rest of the run he trying to play catch up. He just cant do it by quarter mile mark. So as u can see its all in the driver. I cant wait till I go boost. He will be in serious trouble. Good luck man.
