Was this RX-7 Sandbaggin or whaaa?GURLSVTEC 01-28-2002, 11:47 PM Coming back home from the mall last night...i ran into this tight ass lookin (fast & the furious wannabe) RX-7. Perfect Timing we hit a red light....i looked in and he had his little oil & fuel pressure gauges all flexin ( oooh....scary!:o )....So i revved him up NASTY!!! So like when the light turned green...i was outrooo....i looked in my rear view mirror and he was still back there...i was up like a car....dumped it in 3rd and pulled even more!!! So i just dumped it in 5th, waiting for this Beeeyatch to catch up....so i let him pass me up and we go under this tunnel....all of a sudden he switches all the way to the right...under the bridge and revs me up hard!!! I'm like...alright.....Ur gonna get a taste of this VTEC in ur face!!!:bloated: So to make a long story short....i kicked his ass....he didn't pull on me until 4th-5th gear....is it cuz i have more juice off the line...& he has more high end power?? Or was he just messin with me??? Daaamn...sure felt good cuz his girl was laughing that he got chomped by a GIRL!!!hehe:eek: Whaddya guys think???? SickLude 01-29-2002, 12:26 AM i think your lying your ass off... PTOWNPRELUDE 01-29-2002, 12:43 AM I'm with him. I gonna call BS on this one. :flipa: spy54 01-29-2002, 01:47 AM why do people call BS? why would she lie? i would just say he was screwing with you before you call BS 95vteclude 01-29-2002, 10:21 AM i would say he was toying with. crxlvr 01-29-2002, 12:34 PM any rx-7 pulls tough through all gears, i think this guy was just toying you, giving you a lead, then just easily catching up. GURLSVTEC 01-29-2002, 01:21 PM HEHE...I thought so....but it felt good for a moment... but hey...I caught another race on the freeway the other day with this Camaro SS....it was a tough race....but i took him out by a bumper...we were going faaaast on the freeway.. i couldn't even tell how fast i was going cuz my gauges top out at 130....but we were sure enough goin faster than that!!! I got a question....everytime I race...around 8500rpm's...my check engine sign always goeson....i had it checked out and they can't seem to find anythingwrongwith the motor...do u think it's the sensor??? What could it be??? GURLSVTEC 01-29-2002, 01:25 PM Originally posted by SickLude i think your lying your ass off... Hey you know what????

Don't call me a liar cuz i was just askin a queston okay?? ok look, im sorry, but unless you have a large turbo, or a Vortec blower, theres no way that would have happened. oh wait. there is a way....the guy in RX-7 temporarly fell asleep during the race, which enabled you to take the lead and eventually "win"...but ill take your word for it. :rolleyes: . deuces Self 01-29-2002, 03:11 PM Yes, since you said you smoked an SS...I demand to know what you have done to your car... b16b bomber 01-29-2002, 04:09 PM i really dont your ls_vtec can give you that much power to take on a camaro ss unless you have turbo. GURLSVTEC 01-29-2002, 05:36 PM But u know how freeway races are...they aren't always fair...there's all sorts of cars that get in the way... Anyway...u wanna know what i have in my civ? I have a 68mm Throttle body built by Erick's Racing, Type-R Headers-Exhaust (& Suspension ;) ), Del Sol Tranny, Type-R Rods & Pistons (CTR), and a vtec controller. I Only use race gas...VP Race Fuels 108 Octane!! High Compression wastes a gang of gas!..But u have to keep in mind the weight reduction in my car...the camaro was waaay heavier...and plus he had another person in there....:p i'm tellin u every little thing counts!!! TypeRInNeed 01-29-2002, 06:33 PM High octane gas is used to reduce the chance of detonation.:rolleyes: 00accord44 01-29-2002, 06:53 PM Now that you have listed your mods, I have realized that both these guys were either A) Toying with you B)Trying to stay even with you to get a look at your face for a second (if they were male drivers) or C)Racing even though they had MASSIVE engine problems SickLude 01-29-2002, 11:27 PM Originally posted by 00accord44 C)Racing even though they had MASSIVE engine problems MASSIVE yo. unless your pushing a turbo, its not gonna happen. im sorry. someone raise the BS flag please. deuces GURLSVTEC 01-30-2002, 12:42 AM eeeew....Haters up in here.. civicx_xracer 01-30-2002, 04:20 AM Sorry to hear that everyone is flaming on you but they have a good reason.....You're fulla $#!t You could have all the same mods, be driving on just a frame and still not have enough "weight reduction" to beat even the SS considering my friends stock 93 RX-7 will smoke an SS. Not trying to be too mean:devil: But c'mon...okay, benefit of the doubt they are prolly letting you win but please don't think that you can take on an RX-7 with that little list of mods without backing it up with a time slip or something:flipa: SickLude 01-30-2002, 12:29 PM Originally posted by GURLSVTEC eeeew....Haters up in here.. dude, i am so not a hater. you have to realize, people on this board will tell you things your probably gonna get mad about. i dont think ive done that here, for all im doing is telling you the truth. its just not gonna happen. an SS?? give me a break. and an RX7?? never. just be kind enough to admit your defeat... deuces GURLSVTEC 01-30-2002, 03:54 PM Okay...well glad u feel that way...I graciously admit my defeat, However, i felt it was worth the post...! Don't think i have proof...i have time slips and my dyno charts, if you'd like, i'll put it up for u guys... U have to OPEN UR BRAIN (yes for once)....and realize that I was just asking u guys a question....I wasn't claiming a win....I was just surprised by what happened....I kinda felt he was sandbaggin and so I just wanted to know what u guys thought...And now i do...so THanks! I ain't mad about what anyone says....Dude i'm always open to a well deserved loss!:D Just don't call me anything....cuz u don't know me:finger: 95vteclude 01-30-2002, 06:19 PM Originally posted by GURLSVTEC Don't think i have proof...i have time slips and my dyno charts, if you'd like, i'll put it up for u guys... i'd like to see those GURLSVTEC 01-30-2002, 08:51 PM Originally posted by 95vteclude i'd like to see those no doubt! As soon as i can get it scanned....it'll be up 4 ya!;) Peace..... Blackbird01 01-30-2002, 08:56 PM I don't doubt that you were ahead of the SS on the highway. But that's in no way because you're faster, mainly because, like yous aid you were weaving in and out of traffic. I think its dumb to be weaving in and out of traffic while racing. Not safe. I'm sure the SS felt the same way. Why waste the gas to risk killing yourself? If you pulled along side of me on the highway in traffic, I sure as hell wouldn't risk it. If it was open, I'd open her up and let 'er rip! GURLSVTEC 01-30-2002, 09:24 PM Originally posted by Blackbird01 I don't doubt that you were ahead of the SS on the highway.

BUT i still think those cars gave u a head start or something....... maybe your a hottie and they wanted u to win... any pics? :D Blackbird01 01-31-2002, 10:00 AM Hah. That could be it too. I know I'd let a cute girl beat me! ;):D GURLSVTEC 01-31-2002, 12:22 PM HAHA...U guys are funny....See that's the benefit of being a girl racer....Sometimes they just let u win!!!;) Self 01-31-2002, 04:03 PM 2002 Camaro Z28 SS = 13.5 seconds 1997 Camaro Z28 SS = 13.8 seconds 1999 Integra Type R = 15.1 1993 Rx-7 R1 = 13.9 seconds 1995 Rx-7 R2 = 14.1 First off, there is no way a stock '93 Rx-7 would smoke ANY SS. Maybe win if the SS wasn't running its best, or if it was have serious traction problems. Either way, I would think it would be a very close race. I've raced a '95 Rx-7 with exhaust in my 1995 Z28 with i/h/e and won by about a half a car. Secondly, for the girl, there is no way in hell you beat an SS in a drag race. Didn't happen. Assuming you have a Type R(which you don't) you'd be getting MURDERED by an SS. Then, let's assume you've gone through some massive weight loss and threw on the mods you mentioned, you'd still only be running a 14.3ish(at best). Hardly enough to smoke an SS. Through traffic would be a different story, and would have nothing to do with your car, or even your driving. Instead it would deal almost entirely with your luck, and how the traffic was flowing in front of you. Stupid, btw.:rolleyes: GURLSVTEC 01-31-2002, 04:16 PM Oooh...Ahem! My best time was 13.9 i have thetime slips to prove it!! Not soo far off from a 13.5 eh? SickLude 01-31-2002, 05:10 PM you have got show us some slips and tell us what exactly you have done to your car...and i dont care about looks...i wanna know whats making it go "13.9 sec.".... drift 01-31-2002, 05:57 PM you've been talkin about these pics, timeslips, and dyno charts for weeks now. still havent been posted, even when you were called out in the girls forum.

Last spring, with my car being BONE STOCK I brought it to the drag strip. First pass of the day was: 12.907@108.25 with a 2.01 60' Backed it up with: 12.96@108 12.99@107 Just a little FYI for ya. BTW, I'm not calling BS on the story. Maybe the RX7 WANTED to race, but his g/f was in the car didnt you say? I know my g/f HATED it when I would get into races. Maybe she yelled at him to stop? I already told you what I thought happened with the SS on the highway. ;) NSX-R-SSJ20K 02-01-2002, 12:18 AM erm yea ? i dun own a scanner you said you could scan it earlier something smells n i dun mean my ass either! :flash: kidrocket 02-01-2002, 11:31 AM 15.1 seems kinda slow for a type r. My friend ran 14.9 in a 2000 si with i/h/e and a short shifter. i was skeptical till i saw the timeslip. MY brother ran a 13.23 in his stock SS and it has done better since.

Nuff said. I don't consider it a race unless we've exchanged some words like "wanna race?" and get a response like... "Okay, from here to the light. No NOS."

Stock (although the 7 in her story had gauges) RX-7: 2800LBS, divided by 255HP (again, stock), equals 10.980LBS per HP. This is all assuming the RX-7 was a turbo...they did make N/A ones too. Stock Camaro SS: 3400LBS, divided by 320HP, equals 10.625LBS per HP. Not to mention either vehicle may have been automatic...although knowing Blackbird, he'll argue that the General's auto trannies are better than stick anyday...on the dragstrip...the auto doesn't have the benefit of an instant 2-gear (or three, depending on redline) downshift. ...2 cents...

Well...you're lucky I can't find that old issue of ImportTuner which featured an LS-VTEC swap that spun the dyno to about 198HP AT-THE-WHEELS! But that's okay...I found something else that'll illustrate my point...page 75 of the summer2000 HondaTuning issue features a U.S.-spec b16 from a 1999 Civic Si, naturally aspirated (they turbo'd this car after this) putting 170HP to the wheels. That's with the b16 head and block...imagine this same car's block stroked to 1.8 liters... And what's this about 250HP not enough to beat a Camaro SS? Are you telling me that the Suzuki Hayabusa's 170HP won't be enough to beat a 450HP Viper GT-S?

It's ALL about power-to-weight... ...she'll probably lose on a drag strip, where the 'Maro's superior RWD traction will have her trying trying to chase it, but that's irrelevant on a freeway... still youre not gonna get 250hp. maybe 220. thats after adding a lot more bolt on parts. and i said 250hp isnt enough for a civic to beat an ss. a civic is fwd, which means traction problems galore due to the weight transfer on to the rear wheels from hard acceleration. thats the reason the fwd drag cars have such a hard time compared to the rwd ones. plus the camaros has a lot more torque and a much more usable powerband than the civic would. sure maybe the civic would out accelerate the camaro when theyre both at their peak hp points, but the camaro will be pulling for the rest of the time cuz it will have a better power/weight ratio at the other rpm points. and i doubt the civic will even pull on the camaro at peak hp, cuz of the superior torque of the camaro. dont believe me about torque making that much of a difference? why does my car (3000 lbs 160hp) pull away from a civic si (2600lbs 160hp) when we both hit it on the freeway? the civic clearly has a better power/weight ratio, but the civic only has 111b/ft of torque while mine has 165lb/ft torque. trust me i would have NO problem pulling away. of course the flatter power curve also comes into play there, as i dont have to wait for vtec to kick in before i get any power, but the same goes for the camaro. kidrocket 02-21-2002, 04:17 PM if im on the highway why wouldnt i downshift into a gear that i would already be in the power band? why would i go from 5th to 4th if im doing like 50? Self 02-21-2002, 05:00 PM A 250 hp Civic smoking an SS? I think not. Like he said, torque and traction both play huge parts in the race, as well as the powerband of an SS being much stronger than that of the civic. I'm pretty sure the SS would pull a victory out against the Civic. Also, what's this about the automatic in an SS not being able to downshift?? As Blackbird can attest, the A4 tranny in an LS1 is able to downshift too a lower gear than the M6 from redline at almost every gear. LjasonL 02-21-2002, 05:48 PM this chart is for a stock or near stock camaro ss. hp goes left to right, and torque goes right to left. note the extreme "flatness" of the torque curve. http://auto-x.com/dynocharts/sikora.jpg this chart is for a civic putting out 250hp and 170lb/ft of torque at the wheels via vortech supercharger. http://www.redlineautosport.com/images/drivers/laurebernal/DYNO_2000CivicSi.jpg now if both cars dropped to the proper gears for their speed and floored it, if they happened to be near max rpm, the civic MIGHT stand a chance. but as soon as they shifted and the rpms dropped, the civic will have lost a good deal of its power, while the ss will still be near max power. and to the guy saying a ls/vtec having 250hp, i found this while looking for the dyno charts, this is some guys civic with a b20/b16 head, like an ls/vtec stroked to 2.0 liters: B20B block, resleeved B16A head, proper machine work done for VTEC conversion Endyn/Wiseco 12:1 RollerWave pistons Eagle rods B16A cams RC Engineering 370cc injectors Mugen clone ECU (to be replaced with Hondata ECU soon) JDM ITR tranny with factory LSD ACT clutch - extreme pressure plate, performance street disc Del Sol VTEC radiator Place Racing & Energy Suspension engine mounts K&N Filtercharger intake DC ceramic coated 4-1 header Greddy Evolution exhaust As for power, Phillip at Intercrew is estimating at least 215hp/150lbft at the wheels. tenzoracerevovii 02-21-2002, 09:30 PM i think it was superstreet that had an ls/vtec pumping out 190+ hp at the wheels.....but it wasn't the usual ls/vtec most people have seen.....it wasn't a b16, but a b18c1.......gs-r engine......i don't know if 250 at the wheels is all that easy n/a, cuz the all motor crx, the low 11 sec one has about 250, claimed......and that's w/ sponsors and shit.....i don't know much about ls/vtecs so i'll stop......but i'm not too sure this ls/vtec hatch would be able to beat an rx-7 or an SS.....so....i'm not gonna say anything cuz it might be true, who knows......what's next?......a civic hatchback beating a corvette or a viper......:D :eek: .........~wink wink~ carrrnuttt 02-22-2002, 08:07 AM How many of you attempting to respond to me have actually owned and DRIVEN a high-performance/NA/extended RPM's/DOHC-VTEC-powered car? My last car was a 1990 Acura Integra GS which weighed in at about 2600LBS. I had a 5million series b16 with the optional LSD equipped, and the taller (relative to high-RPM Honda's) gearing that 5million series engines enjoy. It had an effective redline of 10000RPM's, of which I usually used it only up to 9500. I can get up to 88mph in SECOND GEAR at the fuel cut-off point...which means I can downshift to second gear when starting a freeway race at about 70. I DO NOT recommend this practice in any way, especially sinc this eventually led to my engine giving out in a oil-smoke, embarrassing fashion. BTW, my VTEC-switch point was at 6200RPM's. the car's top speed was about 155-160MPH, as determined by my friend in a Yamaha YZF-R I was chasing on the freeway...I also had I/H/E...with the "E" being a full repipe from header on down, and obviously a modified ECU. I drive...even to this day...46 miles one-way, 5 days a week to go to work, and it's mostly freeway and highway (I-10, I-85, and back). I NEVER-ever lost to any Mustang (though I admit most of the ones that tried me were mostly mild to stock...but then my car is in that category too) on the freeway. YES they were trying...when you are going 130+, and the other car is still in your rearview, though getting smaller, trust me, they're trying. I usually get the jump on Camaro/Firechicken races, due to the fact that most of the time, they don't feel like they have to downshift. They usually catch up around the 120-140MPH mark, depending on the jump I get, due to their "natural" torque (more on this later) which allows them to bully their way through the exceedingly more resistant air drag. At this point, they usually walk past me, with their top-speed of 165MPH or so. 114FT-LB of torque will never be able to move a 2600LB car (i.e., a Civic Si). Just as 350FT-LBS of torque will NEVER move a 3300LB Camaro. Torque is always multiplied by the gearing MANY times over to put effective torque on the wheels. Multiple thousands of torque get to the wheels, in fact, even in the case of the Civic Si, so that the car may be pushed or pulled forward at a specified rate. This is how Honda tries to cope with it's engines' low TQ output...Honda uses short gearing, to multiply it's TQ output even more, and closely spaced gears, so that you never fall out of the "sweet spot" of it's peaky engines. By the time I hit 140+MPH, I am usually heading towards 5th gear, which ends my lower-gear/higher TQ factor, which effectively leads me to almost rely on my car's "natural torque", which we all know, is non-existent. I guess what I'm trying to say is, you have to have been there to become the true believer that I've become. Oh, I would say I'm a good driver...I learned to drive stick when I was SEVEN...on my mom's old '74 VW Bug, using blocks, with my Unc' teaching. Originally posted by ldelaysionl and to the guy saying a ls/vtec having 250hp, i found this while looking for the dyno charts, this is some guys civic with a b20/b16 head, like an ls/vtec stroked to 2.0 liters: B20B block, resleeved B16A head, proper machine work done for VTEC conversion Endyn/Wiseco 12:1 RollerWave pistons Eagle rods B16A cams RC Engineering 370cc injectors Mugen clone ECU (to be replaced with Hondata ECU soon) JDM ITR tranny with factory LSD ACT clutch - extreme pressure plate, performance street disc Del Sol VTEC radiator Place Racing & Energy Suspension engine mounts K&N Filtercharger intake DC ceramic coated 4-1 header Greddy Evolution exhaust As for power, Phillip at Intercrew is estimating at least 215hp/150lbft at the wheels. I apologize...the hybrid Honda engine I was referring to was a b20, with a b16 head ( I knew I shoulda made sure I had the issue to back me up!)...the 215HP at the wheels...considering 15% in drivetrain losses, equates to about 250HP at the crank. The LS-VTEC conversion averages about 220HP at the crank, which would give a 2600LB EX it powers 11.818LBS per HP, again, not counting her alleged weight reductions. Not bad, considering a 3180LB 1995 M3 coupe has 13.25LBS to carry per HP. Originally posted by kidrocket if im on the highway why wouldnt i downshift into a gear that i would already be in the power band? why would i go from 5th to 4th if im doing like 50? kidrocket, I refer you above, where I talk about gearing multiplying a car's TQ...the lower the gear, the more TQ actually goes to the wheels...regardless of where you are in the powerband. Why do you think you can't take-off in 5th gear? Originally posted by Self A 250 hp Civic smoking an SS? I think not. Like he said, torque and traction both play huge parts in the race, as well as the powerband of an SS being much stronger than that of the civic. I'm pretty sure the SS would pull a victory out against the Civic. Also, what's this about the automatic in an SS not being able to downshift?? As Blackbird can attest, the A4 tranny in an LS1 is able to downshift too a lower gear than the M6 from redline at almost every gear. A 250HP Civic CAN smoke an SS...if it's light enough. just like, I repeat, a 170HP Hayabusa can smoke a 450HP Viper. Hell, the drag-only 250+HP all-motor Hondas run 11's consistently...add a couple-hundred pounds of street-cruising comfort items, you might have a 13's-on-street-tires, 12's-on-drags car...if you knew how to drive it. You're pretty sure the SS would pull the victory? have you ever driven a 250HP Civic? I know you've driven SS's and stuff like that...just like I've driven my dad's old big-block powered Cutlass. I repeat, you just have to have been there. Here's a conservative estimate on my old engine: 168=stock HP (remember, it was a JDM engine from an SiRII) +5=intake +10=headers, re-pipe, hi-flow cat +15=ECU, optimized fuel/timing maps, raised VTEC-switch-over/raised RPM. Total...a possible 198HP at the crank on a 2600LB car, which gives it 13.13LBS per HP, possibly. I said "the auto doesn't have the benefit of an instant 2-gear (or three, depending on redline) downshift". I didn't say: "the automatic can't downshift". To downshift an auto, you stomp on the gas, make the ECU realize you are looking for SERIOUS acceleration, therefore dropping it a gear. To downshift a manual: select 1-2(-3)gears down, mash on gas before/during/after downshift...your choice, whatever optimizes your mid-to-top-end acceleration. Why doesn't NASCAR, the most American of racing venues, use the most american form of driving, autos? I use NASCAR as an example because it has long straightaways that emulate a freeway race better (also, somebody might complain if I'd used LeMans, which has a 3-mile long straightaway). Whew. kidrocket 02-22-2002, 10:16 AM thats what i was trying to say. i just didnt do that great of a job. i guessi just messed that up. I was saying itd be stupid to downshift into 4th gear if your doin like 40 mph. But itd be kinda hard for me in my car to drop into 2nd at 80 mph. LjasonL 02-22-2002, 04:25 PM a motor that can rev to 10,000 rpm and a standard ls/vtec conversion are 2 completely different things. what youre saying, while impressive, is irrelevent to this conversation. the point is that, this girls ls/vtec, even if it made 250 hp to the wheels, will not outrun a stock camaro ss. while your car may be able to downshift to 2nd at 80, hers cant. even with her weight reductions i seriously doubt she has removed enough weight to compensate for the low point in her powerband. your car can compensate for that, because while it may still have that low point, youll never rev down enough to get to it. but hers will. carrrnuttt 02-22-2002, 07:27 PM Everytime I've ever posted a street-racing story, I always include all pertinent, even technical information...when I shifted, what RPM's I went up to, what the car looked like in my rearview;) , etc., etc...instead of just saying: "I spanked a mustang!". In the current mindset of things, small motors are the underdog, which forces an explanation of anything outside of the "ordinary" (i.e., beating a V8). Just like Columbus trying to explain why the world wasn't flat... ...too bad I don't have the Queen of Spain to back me up.

With the modifications you entered, that is total bullshit. Please reply and tell me your dellusional fantasies of going 160. HAHA. All bullshit. You know what stop posting bs. Sure...bullshit.. One of my many proofs that my speedo is accurate is when I top-end raced this 1999-2000 Civic Si (like I said before, and I'll say again, I drive almost 100miles to-from work everyday, mostly freeway, I have a LOT of chances to test out any of my vehicles top-speed...if you want, call 623-386-6160...ask them how far from the city the institution is). I basically paced him (the Si) until he topped out (basically couldn't go any faster) at 130mph. At this point, I handily passed him at 140mph at 7500 rpm. Now, compare that to my redline of 10000RPMs and realize that I had 2500 more RPM's to go. My ECU is a custom program from Hasport of Phoenix, AZ. Look at the recent SportCompactCar issues involving B-series swaps. Look at the company that SCC always call on for Honda expertise. Anyways, Hasport has always told me that Honda speedos have always been somewhat innaccurate when it come to these high speeds that these cars were never meant to go. My top-speed claim stems from my co-worker in a YZF Yamaha who I was pacing...his speedo reads accurately till 180mph, though his actual top-speed is only about 170+. He told me the day after we had a top-speed chase with each other (again, to clarify...he stayed in top-gear and never downshifted, allowing me to keep pace behind him), that he was at 160+ before he actually started pulling away from me, which leads me to the conclusion that I at least kept up with him up to/close to that speed. I had another co-worker in the car with me...do you want me to ask him to send you an affidavit to prove how fast we were going? My buddy in the bike...should I have him post on here? This is what happened, and those are the facts...if you don't believe me, I don't care. As for the gearing thing:http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16608&perpage=15&pagenumber=2 241kph=137mph@8100RPM...top-speed for a stock SirII Civic (without the governor, of course) with the Y1 gearing...which I had. You should have at least that with your YS1 gearing. Imagine again, 10000RPM... It's not, I repeat, it's NOT my fault that your engine is underachieveing.:flipa: Hey...check some facts before you open your mouth. carrrnuttt 03-04-2002, 03:14 AM Originally posted by tenzoracerevovii the n/a one averaged about 155 or something and the blown one hit 187........you're telling me you hit 160 in a n/a car with MILD modifications?........the n/a has the record for it's class which is almost stock.......sorry to burst your bubble, but don't go around bullshitting...... The 155mph one used the stock Si gearing...now think about that. The Y1 has taller gearing. Also, they only have a limited amount of miles to reach top speed before they have to slow down, not the 10 or so I had. tenzoracerevovii 03-09-2002, 01:25 AM for your stupid ass lies shut the fuck up.

I hit you with facts and this is what you come back with? Oh, BTW, I got ahold of an actual conversion calc (I was calculating from off-top of my head before) and here's the ACTUAL top-speed at 8100RPMs of the stock SIRII with the Y1/YS1 tranny: 241KPH=149.7MPH, or make that 150MPH rounded-off. Also, a couple of hundred pounds weight difference between your hatch and my 1990 Teg does NOT matter when you are talking about speeds above 140MPH. Think about this: Have you ever seen a 2nd Gen Teg and a Civ hatchback lowered the same height and sitting side-by-side? Try it and look who's lower...it's called AERODYNAMICS. Besides, you probably have one of those stupid hatch-wings anyway...NEWSFLASH...those cause drag. Also, I AM FROM CALI BITCH. Sorry, mods...that was my one concession to immaturity. One last thing...I never have ran my car on a timed track, but did beat a hooked-up 2000 Eclipse GT that ran a 14.7 at the track. He was a pretty consistent driver and we ran back-to-back with similar results...I beat him by a carlength (definition: his front bumper was at my back bumper).

I remember looking at the speedo, it goes up to 145 or 150 I think. It just says 140 and it has markers after that, and it maxed it out and I went for like ten seconds passed maxing it out. I talked to the guy in the IROC and he said he was about to hit 160 and he just flashed me with the high beams because the race was over at like 85, but he didn't want to lose. Oh and on LS-Vtec... Dude if that girl has a hatch back, then hell yeah it's possible she beat an SS. Let me tell you something. Drag racing is different from any type of form of street racing. Drag racing, you NEED rwd torque to get off the line because of the strip, but on street there's pavement, or gravel, and both cars have a fair shot. Now my friend has a 95' Camaro Z28, it's 5 speed, I don't think they had the 6 speed's yet... And he got his ass handed to him by a hatchback with a GSR motor. I'm talking about getting smoked BAD. And the GSR was stock. An SS is only about half a second, maybe less, faster than a Z28. The Z28 pulls in 13.9 and the SS pulls in 13.5. That GSR hatch had to have at least a second or more off the Z28's. And I know for a fact LSVtecs can pull more hp than a GSR because of the midrange hp and the high rpm horsepower of Vtec. All it is is an LS motor, which has really good midrange hp that get's good high rpm horsepower because of the valve timing of a vtec head. The main reason LS motors are sorry in high rpm is because they don't have vtec so their valves don't open up more. So it is HIGHLY possible that she gave that Camaro SS the sleep. And I wouldn't LET a girl beat me if she was cute. I'd beat her. A girl isn't going to give you the light of day if you LET her beat you. They don't like giveaways, come on, I thought you guys knew about women. They like competition, but they like guys that try and don't give them the advantage just because they're hot. Props on the kill GURLSVTEC, I believe you. I thought these guys would back you up coz they're from Honda, but I guess not. jOYRiDe 03-22-2002, 05:24 PM Originally posted by carrrnuttt Oh, BTW, I got ahold of an actual conversion calc (I was calculating from off-top of my head before) and here's the ACTUAL top-speed at 8100RPMs of the stock SIRII with the Y1/YS1 tranny:241KPH=149.7MPH, im not flaming u or anything carnuttt cos u one cool bloke, but my brother has a JDM B16A SiR-II from an EG6 (or 9 i cant remember) hatch and he has claimed to only get it up to 185km/h cos of the rev limiter (it red lines at 8250rpm all the way to nine thousand and something) go here to see the EG gauge cluster www.picturetrail.com and type in xtatik as the member name. look for the car pics. *edit* i forgot to mention he's got LSD too LjasonL 03-22-2002, 07:15 PM Originally posted by S2Corolla [Bthe SS pulls in 13.5.

Self 03-22-2002, 09:24 PM Originally posted by ldelaysionl ss's have hit 12's stock. and a gsr motor is a vtec. Stock is misleading...That's with new tires, a PERFECT launch, PERFECT shifting, and PERFECT weather and track conditions. A much more common SS time is 13.3 - 13.6. Either way, they're darn fast. Also, I an LS-VTEC is an LS motor with either a GSR or Type R(or I've also heard of SI) head, giving it VTEC. I didn't think they typically made more horsepower than GSRs though. I thought that they would make about the same amount of hp as GSRs but with the increased torque of the LS motor. carrrnuttt 03-22-2002, 11:22 PM Originally posted by jOYRiDe im not flaming u or anything carnuttt cos u one cool bloke, but my brother has a JDM B16A SiR-II from an EG6 (or 9 i cant remember) hatch and he has claimed to only get it up to 185km/h cos of the rev limiter (it red lines at 8250rpm all the way to nine thousand and something) go here to see the EG gauge cluster www.picturetrail.com and type in xtatik as the member name. look for the car pics. *edit* i forgot to mention he's got LSD too Nah, don't worry about it. I know where you're coming from. Think of this though, Japan (where by law, cars are governed to about 115MPH) or not, how long do you think that governor is gonna stay on a real enthusiasts' car? I know my old governor on my JDM b16 lasted all of 2 weeks before I had to do something about it:D. Self: The LS/VTECs usually add more HP. The added displacement does that, besides add TQ. Also, anybody who cares enough to spend the money for the conversion doesn't usually leave the internals alone. Most mechanics suggest/install beefed up internals while the engine is opened up. jOYRiDe 03-22-2002, 11:24 PM Originally posted by carrrnuttt Nah, don't worry about it.

It's an h22 with a 220HP output. The JDM Integra Type-R is rated at 205HP. The 10HP difference with the USDM R engine is attributed to the higher compression used by JDM engines, and the higher octane gas they burn everyday. Oh, torque is rated at about 168FT-LBS with the 'Lude-S h22, and the JDM 'Teg-R b18 is rated at 137TQ. kidrocket 03-31-2002, 06:38 PM SS's have pulled high 12s on stock tires too Self 03-31-2002, 11:00 PM Originally posted by kidrocket SS's have pulled high 12s on stock tires too Never heard of or seen it, so I'm still very skeptical.

LjasonL 04-02-2002, 03:21 PM i see a cold air intake, a strut tower bar, a red valve cover (which could be painted that way or ordered from a magazine), and a removed heat shield. :rolleyes: most of your claimed engine work was internal so that pic doesnt prove anything. give us timeslips or dyno sheets. Rice-Rocketeer 04-02-2002, 03:52 PM Actually I see everything she said she had save of course the internal work. A 5th gen civic with a DOHC swap, the heat shield is removed because the JDM headers (which are pictured) don't have the holes for the heat shield to be bolted up to and I also see a FPR. Admit it ppl, she's packin. My guess is B16 but I really don't get the aftermarket mounts. LjasonL 04-02-2002, 04:03 PM ahh i missed the regulator tucked back in there but now i see it, and stupid me i didnt even think about civics that year model not coming dohc. i was thinking the new si is dohc so the 92-95 si's were too for some reason. :rolleyes: i guess it is all there that should be there. i still dont see it beating an rx7 or ss, not in any type of fair race, and i still dont see the reason for 108 octane gas though.
