track tonight

Hey,
Just letting everyone know I'm going to the track to run a few baseline's on my hatch. I have dropped in a D16Y8 (sohc vtec 96) but I don't have VTEC hooked up yet. So, I will be running my 3" ghetto ram intake, HP Racing header, lowered 1.5" Sprint springs, Rota Slipstreams, Dunlop 195/50/15 Sports and that is about it. Still have stock exhaust. It is an 1/8 mi. track in Northwest FL. Let's see what she can do, shooting for mind to low 10's. I'm excited, see ya!!!

good luck :D

may the perfect reaction time fairy be riding on your shoulder :D

whats the name of the track?? i ran a 10 flat in my d16a6 ;) did i mention the 5.10 R/T??

did i ever mention my .003 rt ? ha ha i win, if i had a scanner i would show u the slip.
but i usually average around .170

I'm back. Here's the summary. Overall, pretty good.
1st run: 36 psi in front tires. RT:.202 Hopped the shit out of it which popped out of first gear, re-engage first, hop until 2nd, don't let off gas into 3rd gear. Time:11.518 @ 65.8, 60 ft:3.343 very bad run

2nd run: 36 psi in tires. RT.537 (very bad) Hopped first but managed to keep it in gear, gas into second, gas into third. 60 ft:2.491 Time:10.536 (damn it helps to stay in gear)

3rd run: 18psi in tires. RT.277 Hopped for a split second then hooked, not too bad of a launch 60 ft. 2.296 (getting better) Same thing, stay in gas on both shifts. Time:10.265

4th and final run: 18psi in tires. Beautiful launch. Launched from 5500, no spin, no hop, i like it!! 60 ft. 2.247 Same ol' shit, all gas shift fast. Time: 10.291.

Could have made another run but I was happy with a 10.2 and I could drive home. Funny thing is, buddy of mine in a 68 bug (2160cc, T3 turbo, Fuel Injection, etc etc) sheared apart a CV. Guess who was the tow truck...ME!! I've done it before in the DPFI car so why not. Towed fine, still have a clutch. Thank God Florida is flat. Anyway, I had a good night. When I get VTEC hooked up that should set me up with a 10.1 or a 10 flat. Advance the timing with some nice race gas and maybe 9.9. That would be nice. An exhaust would help some probably. I had a good night, thanks for listening.

sounds good man, what do those times convert into 1/4 mile? dont know nuthin about 1/8 mile really :confused:

I honestly have no clue what that would translate into the 1/4. I would like to know. Probably in the 15 to 16 sec range considering stangs run around 14's. I think the times were respectable for a baseline run but nothing to "brag" about.

thats pretty good man
good 2 see u got everything tuned right and got ridda the hop, bet u were happy bout that :) and i'm glad u didnt break any axels or ne thing! thats always good hehe

that would translate into high to mid 16s

I cant wait for the track to open up around here...i should have my motor built before then...


gunnmen01

what you hopin for gunnmen mid 13's? high 13's?

hey ihaveastd. i didn't get to see that last run with only 18 psi?!?. anyways it's runnin good. and i have a question. could you help me with the zc swap if i provided the place. it's a nice garage the size of a house off 10 mile:D anyways pm me of post on here if you want to

let's do it. The last run seemed better but wasn't the fastest

aight, well, i'm going canoeing. I'll be back on later to see what you FOOLS have posted.

wurd i think it'll be on for sunday if i can find a trailor to get my car all the way over to 10 mile. you know anyone with one. and get in touch with your boy and see if he's up for it. i'm gonna try to get it all done in one day. cause i'm a pimp:smoka:

oh i know he will be up for it, but he will want some $$$$. Probably not much though, I think he will want around $80 probably but he will basically do the whole damn thing himself. Send him an email. his website is www.SpeedzoneFL.com

yea get in touch with him since you know him and tell him i'll give him the 80 bucks to do it. and i'll just put in the clutch while the engine is out.

ok i've ran into a SLIGHT problem. dude cherry picker is broke and i have no trailor. i'm very open for suggestions because if i gave him the 80 bucks i will have no money to rent a picker. i was thinkin 2x4 and chain, but anything you and everyone on this board can come up with will be good. :(

Use a 4x4 thats what I used when I did my engine swap. I layed it across three of the celing boards (the joist or whatever) and used a chain and a come along to get the motor out of the car. Then used a jack with wheels to roll the car backwards sat the motor down....
