Went last night with my stock B18A. First time at the track.
Castrol Raceway
Elevation: 2200’ above sea level
I was launching at about 3000rpm.
R/T … 1.303
60’ … 2.600
330’ … 7.615
1/8 … 11.777
MPH … 59.51
1000’ … 15.328
1/4 … 18.373
MPH … 75.00
R/T … 0.787
60’ … 2.644
330’ … 7.843
1/8 … 12.105
MPH … 57.74
1000’ … 15.753
1/4 … 18.860
MPH … 71.93
I got two more. I’ll post later.
The first was my faster time, but slowest mph.
I need some insight on this. What should a stock B18 (with 345000km) (only ‘mod’ being a test pipe) be running? I went last night again, and my best was a 17.742. I know driving skill may be a factor, but I even let a buddy try it (he runs a low 14’s civic). And he cant even do better. The only consolation, was a B20 swapped Integra, that I ran against, and we were only .0200 apart.
All runs, I’m launching at 3-4k. No/very little spinning. Shifting about 6.5k. In third I run it right to red, cause that usually when I’m through the last trap.

That seems pretty slow for a stock teg. Mine ran a stock 16.1 @87 mph
I would do a leak down and a compression test to see what condition the motor is in

You need to launch better. A 2.6 60’ time is awful. Even with decent tires and a stock integra you should be able to get 3 tenths off that. You should be around a low 16 for a stock teg.
I know what it should be doing, but I cant get it to get there.
It’s not just me, I’ve had two people try it down the strip a couple times (both tune/build engines, and have much drag strip experience). They cannot get it to go better.
With altitude factored in, a low 16 at sea level would produce mid/high 16 here, which I’m still almost a full second off of.
do a compression check on the motor. It may not be running right. You still need to take a serious look at your 60’ time. What tires and pressure are you running?
This car is dead now. No more tracking for me in a G2. BMW from now on.
The tires were at 28psi. They were regular Goodyears, and were worn. I wasn’t gonna replace them, since winter is only a couple months away.
lower psi to 25 to start
i loved my f1-d3’s at 18psi
work on the 60fts its killing u
2.3 2.2 is doable in streetires
What happened?
damn bro those are some rough times! my LS with just a intake and 7lb flywheel ran 15.2 all day, and the motor had over 200,xxx miles on it.
Hit a manhole. Bent frame, cracked rad, and fucked the suspension.
That sucks
