99 teg gsr vs. 03 tib v6

[jc_guru]

what rpms should i launch at? i was racing my friends tiburon and i took of the first time a 3000 then at 4500. i takes so long to pick up and well i was at his rear bumper the whole time. any tips? the only different was that he had a body kit...i dont know if that means anything and i had some heavy subs. i still think i had the weight advantage. kinda want a rematch before i get my carbonfiber hood.

There in lies the problem. Integra's have no torque. You were probably getting too much wheel spin launching that high too. A little wheel spin is good, in order to keep the revs up, but if you were spinning a lot, you were loosing a lot of ground.

[jc_guru]

so what do you think? maybe 2000rpms?

[loesch8102]

I don't have a GSR so I couldn't tell you exactly. I'd say, spinning the wheels for about 3 feet would be good.

[92teggsr]

try 3000 to 3500 rpms when it's dry.

[youngstrtracer15]

take it to the dyno and figure out your highest torque when its time to race rev it a couple of times and then on the third rev take it to your peak torque and when the light turns green good luck.

I don't have an integra but with any car the right launch just takes practice and finding that perfect balance between overspinning and letting your revs drop too low. A little too much spin is better than not enough. Just be quick with your double clutch to avoid not being able to hook up. Keep at it. you can take a v6 tib. Good luck!

I agree with Chipras3. I launch my 92 teg (non-vtec)at around 2000rpm. I get wheelspin but at around 2500-3000rpm the tires just grab and the car accelerates. For a gsr 2000-2500rpms is a good area to start experimenting with. Also tire pressure and air temp are factors in getting good traction.

Lose the subs when racing. You should smoke a tiburon even with the subs

experimenting is fun, go out on late night safeway (or whatever store) runs and try different launches

[Kilboy57]

Experimenting in parking lots is fun...but watch out for the parking barriors...U know those cement blocks that stop u for going into the next parking spot.

I saw a Porche get f*@ked up once...the dude launch his car right over one of them he must have never seen it...oil everywhere it was quit funny I felt bad though...that sh*t must have been expensive

[100proof]

i would say at 3000 rpms
but like blasian said go out late and test it out do what you think fills right

[casperGSR]

I usually launch around 3 or so... usually a little bit under 3 but in that general ballpark... 4500 is prolly gonna be a little on the high side.

[kwik46]

I launch my 98 GSR at 4000 rpm and get a short scratch, then, I hook up and take off.

[jc_guru]

well 2500 is working for me right now

[96GSR]

is it better to just drop the clutch after bringing the rpms up to wutever u want, or let it out a little slower to keep the rpms up?
