You sir have some of the worst 60' I have ever seen

lol what were you launching at?

After all this time I always thought your car was modified more than an intake. Hmm

the best run had with my stock 1.5 dpfi engine was a 11.8 in the 1/8 but i am about done with my si engine so i will be goin back soon

on a 4-door DX, stock, I ran 18.078 @ 74, so your time seems pretty good. I have long since lost my slip, so I have no idea what my 60' times, etc..were

Its so unfair, there are absolutely no tracks out here in southern california that I know about, everyone I have asked has told me that there aren't any. I really want to take my car to the track too.... Anyway... 20lbs of tools, what the heck ya carrying in there?

[TheSilentChamber]

I ran a 53.653 with a drill press, metal leathe, band saw, block boring machine.... man I was prepared that night.

i ran an 18.5 with my stock d15b2 with no intake, and just the muffler, that was last year, i went to go back this year and it was rained out

well i tried launching between 3 and rev limiter which is like 6200 or around there. i found that i got the best times with a rev limit launch.

in my tool box was basic metric and standard sockets with the tools to change an axle because the axles i got in my civic were run without cv boots for a while so i was afraid that they were weak and might break. my whole tool box weighs almost like 60lbs.

my car at one point in time had a ls motor, but after i installed it and on intial start up i found that it had major rod knock so i pulled that ls motor out and took it apart only to find the crank was no good, 2 rods were bent and about to break, it grinded up 2 of the main bearings. but the stock motor had broken a timing belt but i never even tried to see if it ran, so after this ls incident i stuck back in the stock motor only to find 8 of the valves bent, so i pulled the stock motor out. picked up a 92 civic motor and threw that motor in and thats what i have now, still 1.5 and still dpfi. but i picked up another ls engine and that engine is going in as soon as i burn up this stock clutch.

so actually this is the first time my car has ran in 3 years. the car sat for almost a year because i knew it broke the timing belt so i was saving up for a swap, located a ls motor (the broken one) i actually got the motor a year and a half after i worked out the deal. after i found out it was broken took me couple months to locate and install that 92 civic motor, which sucked going back from mpfi and dewiring it back to dpfi.

heres some pics of the broken ls motor.

here is #1 rod bearings, 3 pieces


here is #1 rod cap, can see the bearing from another rod and the space between cap and bearing


#1 rod, just alittle bent


and the money shot, the crank. just look at it need i say more. well incase people dont know what they looking at. the 2 visible rod jounrals burnt and scored, the 3 visable main journals burnt 2 of them scored


just a few pics of how the motor looked like when i took it apart

[Onimacus]
