What numbers are yall running in the quarter mile?

What mods do you have? Just curious as to what some of the AF peeps with ludes are running

15.9, Standard, British Climate! i.e. WET!!!:rolleyes:

15.9!!! how is that? isn't a prelude stock 15.1s 1/4 mile? why would you go that much slower than stock?

That was on a wet drag strip, well, damp anyway, earlier this year!

I haven't managed to run the car in good, hot conditions yet!

I would hope to get a low 15 out of it, even though it is a hard car to launch!

am i right about the prelude being 15.1 stock? maybe i'm wrong?

Yeah you're right...but there are wayyy too many conditions to determine quarter mile times

Driver, weather conditions, tires, launch, etc. Therefore one cannot always expect to get the "stock" 15.1 quarter

I'll get back to you on this soon. My engine rebuild was pushed back a couple weeks by factors out my my control. But the plan is to build the new motor in two weeks. I'll have some quarter mile times for you in due time.

No prob JD...hope it all goes well...Good luck on those 1320s

14.3 @ 98.8 MPH all motor.

you guys are so full of crap. no way in hell can you do a 15.1 in a stock prelude. the 15.9 is right. thats what i run in my '91 b21a1 and i beat vtec 5gens. a 15.1 is a b16a in a fully gutted civic hatch with just a dash and 2 front seats. i jus joined a board full of rice.

oh i run 15.9 @ 85 mph before weight reduction. still room to improvement on excelleration. i have exhaust, plug wires, strut bar, ludespeed intake. and now about 100lbs worth of weigh reduction.

chill out dood...

first off, the 5th gen runs 15.2 as tested by magazines, stock.

your 91 is about 2700lbs, with a 140hp motor... that's 19.3lbs per HP

the 97+ is 2950lbs, with 195-200HP... 15.13lbs per HP

according to those numbers, the 5th gen is FASTER, unless you're making significantly more power than stock. in addition, you have no idea what i have done to my car to achieve those numbers.

damn drift! :eek: I had no idea. What do you have done?

headwork, cams, springs and retainers, throttlebody, portmatching, raised rev limiter to 8800 rpm, 11.1:1 compression, balanced crank, flywheel... in addition to the bolt-ons.

Drift my man we need to talk.. catch me on AIM ~ I need your insight! :bandit:

just to back up drift a bit..
00 Cpe C&D Dec-99 2.2 I-4/5M 0-60, s. 6.80
70-0 Braking, ft. 182.00
1/4 mile, s. 15.40


thats from car and driver (note the C&D)

also, here is a question.. mabye someone can help
I just bought a g-tech, and its supposed to be only 1/100th off on 0-60 times, and 1/10th off on quater mile times

I just tested it out last night, 0-60 (3 tries) i got a 6.70 6.71 and 6.55
then for 1/4th i got a 14.88 on my only run..

We also tested it out with my friends crx and another friends integra
16.41 and 16.55

Both of them said thier numbers were just like @ the track.
I have never run my lude at the track, but i thought 14.88 seemed a little fast for a stock lude with only an AEM CAI

i also have another friend that used a g-tech while running at the track, and when the g-tech gave him a 12.3, he ran a 12.2

so make me happy and tell me i have a super lude?!

thanks!

My best time on my 98 SH with the only mods being a Greddy EVO exaust is 16.1 @87 mph. That was with a sorry launch and poor shifting into second. Im pretty sure with a good launch and smooth shifting i could pull a 15.9.

Thats wicked- who did your head? Thanks for sharing, I would love to do a motor build close to that, but I am headed down the FI road because of price, convienience, and removability. ;)

My best time with my SS with only an AEM CAI was a 16.8. This was during a muggy day and I still didn't have the shifts just right...I have since added a thermal exhaust...I ran on g-tech before exhaust and it being muggy and ran consistent 16.5's. Now I run consistent 16.1's and 16.2's.

what are you shifting at?

My car ran a 14.9 with only a short ram intake...

people need to remember that 1/4 mile times vary due to so many different conditions and driver ability. and everybody makes such a big deal over it.. a 15.1 and a 15.9 is less then one second difference... wheelspin, temperature, humidity, nervousness, pavement, shifting, tire condition, etc etc make all the difference at the track.

you ran that at the track or also on a g-tech or some similar device?

thx

it was at the track but i'm sad to say i wasnt driving it when it ran the 14.9... I ran a 15.6

15.2 @ 93 mph...the track i ran at was 75/80 Dragway in Maryland...slightly uphill believe it or not..and i was on my 40,000+ mile street tires...launching could have used some improving tho..and my tires didn't grip too well...

me and a friend of mine did the top end... he let me watch as he worked the art of polishing and throating. he tried to follow the pics and details posted on Endyn as best he could. i did the intake myself to see how i could do.

the bottom end was done by us also, but the balancing was done at Kittlers down here in Louisiana... as they have the machines to do it right.

saved myself over $1200 in just labor alone.

The difference in the track time and the G-tech is that the G-tech starts timing once you move. The track doesn't time you until you trip the lights. Unless you stage deep the beem at the back of the front tire, your car will roll at least 6inches before the timer starts. Also 0.2sec is about a full car length in the quarter. I haven't run my Prelude yet but I haven't been beat by any other Prelude I've raced. I think I gotta good one. :D Last time I ran my 89 Accord it ran a 16.1 at 87mph.

HAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!! are u KIDDING ME?? You run a 15.9 and claim you can beat 5TH Gens?? ROFLMAO. And whoever's running only a 15.1 with a B16A in a fully gutted civic hatch can't drive!! I ran a 15.2 @ 93 with I/H/E in my 5th Gen and that's with a crappy launch on a hot day.. I'm only a semi-average driver...I know of good drivers who have done 14.8s and 14.9s in stock 5th Gens...get your story straight buddy. Make it clear next time that when you're "beating" 5th gens...you're "beating" STOCK AUTOs with bad drivers..and I don't even think that's possible..sorry..

15.3@91.21mph...60' ET 2.230. Could've ran faster with a better 60', and if I ran in my stockies. Haven't ran mine with the pulleys yet. Another friend of mine in another board ran 13.7 on his 4th gen VTEC, all-motor.

Jacques, Would that happen to be JG Luder?

Nope. That would be VeeTec. He used to have a 4th gen Prelude VTEC. As his sig on PO.com says, "93 Prelude VTEC N/A (lots of mods) 13.79@100.7". It was all-motor.

I thought JG Luder had a turbo or something.

That's an awesome time for N/A.....JG Luder I believe runs 13s..or ran 13s too..he is actually N/A too. His car is bad ass!

Alot of you guys are correct in accordance to the variables of running a quater miler time. But one big variable was left out that i didnt see in the previous posts. That is Sea level elevation. If you're running at a high altitude like Denver, the air is thinner and therefore your car must work twice as hard to get enough air to run fast times. But somewhere like Toronto, where I live, we are much closer to sea level and therefore our 1320 times will be much lower. There is a formula somewhere for the standard time and each city there is a drag strip. Look it up on the net, I dont remember the site. Put it this way, I ran a 15.9 in a 5th gen accord in the summer humidity of Toronto with only an intake, headers and a lightened flywheel. I for sure would not run that fast a time in the midwest. Peace

PMPExR, I don't know where St. Louis, MO is in elevation, but it makes me kinda interested what my times would be if it were at sea level.

Jaques, Im not exactly sure what your times would be if you were closer to sea level. Like I said, you could check that out on a website. You would have toi search for the site cause i dont remeber the address.

Riding in my friend's brand-spanking new 2002 BMW M3 (:eek: ), the elevation around the St. Louis area is roughly 600 ft. above sea level. Makes me wonder if my times would be even faster at sea level.

At the PreludeOnline board, one of my friends ran at the track the other night in his 5th gen...here's his timeslip:

R/T........1.224 (surprisingly slow reaction time)
60'........2.273
330.......6.212
1/8........9.402@76.08
1/4........14.439@97.36

His name is "ed-camden" at my board, and there were a number of witnesses, several of them Maxima owners, and one of which is a former Prelude driver.

His car was N/A, and his mod list is nearly identical to mine:

*AEM CAI
*AEM Tru-Power pulleys
*Mugen exhaust
*Mugen headers
*Apexi VAFC
*OEM body kit
*Pure short shift adapter

after he do 15.7 with intake aem,catback greddy evo,header and more,now he do 12.3 with turbo intercooler and v-tec controler and others controlers YEAH THATS FAST AND HE THINK THAT GONNA PUT THE NOS

my bf ran 15.6 with an intake and cams (they were advanced) he now has greddy evo exhaust and dc headers...how do u think he would do now that he has the headers and exhaust...im just curious since tracks here where im at open up in march (ug what a long time)

FIERCE YOU MAY HAVE A SUPER HONDA OR YOU COULD JUST BE CREEPING. ON AVERAGE OUT OF FIVE A CAR MANUFACTURER MAKES TWO GREAT CARS, TWO AVERAGE CARS AND ONE CRAP ONE, HEY THATS JUST THE WAY IT IS.
WHEN MY 93 LUDE WITH A 94 IMPORTED ENGINE AND BOX WAS AT ITS PEAK (218HP) I COULD DO WRXS IN THE QUARTER. NOW WITH THE BLOWER AND (280HP) I GO HUNTING FOR STI'S.
SO FAR ON A LEGAL STRIP (CALDER PARK) I HAVE HAMMERED TO A 14.2 QUARTER MILE. IT WAS 7.30PM AT NIGHT AND 18 DEGREES CELCIUS. ;)

a 14.2s time doesn't run with WRXs

still real good though

Originally posted by gang$tarr

I was under the impression that the WRX ran the quarter in 14.4.

14.4 is the fastest I've seen a WRX run. A Lude running a 14.2 would be going about 10mph more than the WRX because of the AWD.

How does running at the track differ from a g-tech?
Is the reaction time added to your total time at the track? because on the g-tech their is no reaction time, it starts counting when you start moving

if so im guessing say i would have a .6 reaction time, which would put me into 15.4 which sounds about right...

or at the track are the reaction time and 1/4th time two seperate times..

thanks

no reaction time is not added at the track. The difference is at teh track the time doesn't start until you trip the beam. Usually, unless you stage really far forward you will roll a bit before you trip the timer. So the timer doesn't start until you are already moving so you get a faster time.

i'm thinkin of WRX STi times... in the 13s

You can't get the STI or the 22B or whatever else they make over here. So the WRX's run mid 14's.

The standard current model (01)WRX runs on average the 15sec barrier and the model before it (00) around mid 14 secs.
The (01) STI runs high 13 secs. So a good driver in a 14.2 car which can go quicker, could eat up an STI.
Maybe not the (02) model but who knows how fast they really are compared to what suby tells us, we in have not tested them yet. :bloated:

The only thing better then a Honda is the one I havent been in.

:finger: Hey dumbass...15.1 as tested STOCK on a 5spd 5th gen. Before you go firing off your MOUTH BOY, get the facts straight.

PLUS the lude is 3100 lbs+... Figure that one out, or is it too hard for youto do you dumbass?:flipa:

very possible, i got a friend with a 5th gen stick with intake only and he runs 14.9 every now and then w/a good launch

dang my civic ran 16.7 stock. ;\

1/4 mi in 14.9 @ 92mph easily with my stock '99 (manual) with only an intake system. However, getting rid of it in August for my new 350Z. Order has been taken!!!

I posted his timeslip earlier in this thread, but "ed-camden" at my board has ran consistently between 14.5-14.8 (in Pirelli street tires) with the mods below:
*AEM CAI
*AEM Tru-Power pulleys
*Mugen exhaust
*Mugen headers
*Apexi VAFC
*OEM body kit
*Pure short shift adapter

His best is 14.439@97.36

He's running again in Steele, AL this weekend with a number of Maxima guys. He's shooting for lower 14s.

you must be looking at the wrong WRX's.....we have a '01 that pulled a 12.3, lightly modded, last season, and has new equipment this year and should run 11's.....we have another WRX wagon that is mid 13's.....and that is at 3000 ft elevation.

The real reason I am posting is to see what rpm's you guys are dumping at and and when you are shifting. Given that elevation is a bit hi at our track...I'm not sure if sea level advice will help, but normally I launch around 6500 and shift right before 8k.....BTW this is in a 2000 prelude SH.....also what 0-60 ft times should be expected

To above

If you looked before you spoke you would notice that we are talking about standard Wrx's and a standard Sti. So a standard current 2002 wrx will only run high 14s and the Sti is lucky to crack 14 down the quarter. These are both running on 98ron fuel at 500ft above sea level in Australia. Yes they are fast with mods but there is no way that you have a wrx capable of 11s unless it had some happy gas and alot of cash under the hood but from the sound of you I dont think so. So up yours:flipa:

Not me, I didn't say I had a WRX, I we here in town have a WRX that was running 12.3 last season, and should be getting 11's this season. If I remember correctly he had upgraded turbo, MBC intake exhaust and downpipe, and a lightened flywheel and stronger clutch. That probably not even $4k in mods, now he's got a computer bigger turbo and fuel injectors, I'm pretty sure that is his mods. Even then, a 12.3 at 3500ft altitude is easy 11's at sea level. At the time, he was the fastest 1/4 in the new WRX's.

You stupid idiot! Don't argue about something you don't have. Have you tested a 5th Gen Lude yourself? No? Then shut up! Magazines have listed the times of 15.2 - 15.4, but many owners could easily better those. I, personally, had run 14.9 at the track on a great day (about 70 degrees F) and with only an intake system in place. So shut up! Stop arguing about something you don't have nor haven't experienced for yourself. For instance, I can't argue with you about your mom being a whore, can I? No, because I don't know her.
15.9 is mostly for automatics, or incompetent drivers with manual, or in some bad conditions. In a good or fair condition, a 5th gen Prelude with a manual can easily run in low 15's or even better with a good driver. I don't care what your stupid '91 or hatchback runs, those times listed by other owners are pretty much correct: anywhere from high 14's to low 15's for a manual; high 15's to lower 16's for auto. GET IT???:mad: :aug2:

that put a smile on my face :frog:

Be nice now!:bandit:

I ran a 16.332 @85.18 MPH on a cold night in AL (the most humid state in the world). That was with a 2.520 60' (my worst 60' all night) That run was in my 93 Prelude Si automatic with 17" Tantrums, intake, exhaust, and street tires. I sold that car though. I now have a '97 SS. I haven't ran or modded it yet so no times on the new ride. I can't believe how much difference temperature makes in times and trap speeds. I was thinking that the new car would run about 15.5-15.8. Not sure though and there's only one way to find out. :D new times soon coming.

If you saw my post above on Ed's times in his Prelude, it was done at Steele, AL. Of course, that night, it was around 40 degrees or so.

Well, I finally got out and ran my stock 2000 SH, and I guess I did alright. My best time was 16.111@86.7 with 2.38 0-60 ft. with altitude correction, that is a 15.54@89.62, which sounds about the right area for a stock prelude with a fatass driving....hehehe.
