maybe cause he has more horsepower and torque over you or his teg is being bottle fed. best bet is to run some nitrous.

Dmitri

Yeah, nitrous would help, but you're missing part of your exhaust system. You need a performance catalytic converter. You could also get a cat-back system.. much better. As for other cheap mods, you could get a jet chip stage II. You've got enough airflow to handle that one. Does anyone know if those chips really raise HP by 10-15 or something like that?

Pedrito

dude i kicked the crap out of my friends integra ls (auto) when he had intake and exhaust and pullies...and i had a universal muffler.....i dont kno how ur losing bro!...mine is stick...is yours?...is the integra? dude i dunno what is up w/ that....

HeartbreakkiD

hi dude....
i got stick so do the integra....both of us manual....he got intake ,muffler ............
maybe i should go with nitrous......and some chips.....kick some assES!!!!! hey dude, wat kind of nitrous u talking about??? venom??
racing is easy, once u let go, just go like u wanna fly, concerntrate at the front.. ........all the way straight..is not driver problem man....

Heartbreakkid, it's a little more than that, too... How well and where you shift in a manual can dramatically effect your times. Every extra tenth of a second you spend between gears is a tenth of a second that you're not accellerating. Plus, if you're shifting too early, then you will wind up below the peak in the powerband when you get to the next gear, meaning you will not have as much HP behind you as you could. It's a lot more than just driving in a straight line buddy.

NeoMagus

lol maybe you should learn how to drive stick before you race again [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Dmitri

Hey, when doing the quarter mile, should I shift at the peak of the powerband just before it starts to dip or should I hit redline at each gear?

HeartbreakkiD

is that funny huh??oOIOo
thanks for the advice that u give me...doublins~~~
emm~~i go every gear to redline...no doubt
still searching something tat will really help ~~~thanks guys

heartbreakkid, are you from America? you speak really broken English. I have a really hard time understanding some of your questions.

HeartbreakkiD

first of all, i aint american..i am chinese.....
and i want to say is, is american always good at all?? to the one who show arrogant in front of me, could u say chinese language? mandarin? cantonese?? u know only fuxking english.....
i am here just asking a question, if u guys feel like dont want to tell me or laughing people because someone say 'broken english'...okay! fuxk off okay??

<< heartbreakkid, are you from America? you speak really broken English. I have a really hard time understanding some of your questions. >>



so whats ur point?

Ramen

Well maybe you didnt do a good launch. Lauching is very important. I have a 2k1 Canadian Si and its a stick. How I race is I floor my pad and shift right when it reaches redline. I would recommend you to get a short shifter, which makes shifting much easier and faster. Change your catback also, because universal mufflers dont help much with performance. And maybe get a chip also.

NeoMagus

My Chinese isnt as good as my Japanese, but heres one for ya then.

poke eye ah

hyperactive

so hold on a sec now Bruce Lee. are you fu***n English or Chinese? you got me confused

HeartbreakkiD

darm!!
wat the hell u talking about ? is that called as chinese words?? or chinese sentences?? is called broken chinese!

well, i dont think i going to argue with u guys, thats sounds too stupid. hey ramen....maybe i got u this time....appreciate that....i will change my cat back as soon as i got my new bw kits..thanks man..

UncleB

heartbreakkid, I wasn't cutting on you or anything dude. I was just saying that it is hard to understand you. Sorry if I came across as a jerk. I'm really a nice guy.

Jimmy24

HeartBreakKid your going to do more than that.
Custom intake ? nahh Buy a CAI
aem pulleys ---good(BTW are they working good? electricity and lights good?
dc sports header ----good
man you need more than an universal muffler, get the full catback 2.25inches
Last thing, Shift at 6500 do not hit the 7000 or you will loose power
and, since you have an EX, before jumping into the first gear to start the race, keep in mind that our vtecs have the power above 4000, if you start before that, you are wasting power, and of course, you got to learn how to dump the clutch so you don't squeel the tires too much 'cause that will waste time too!
Hope it helps!!!!!!!!

Diznavis

maybe i should try to race my friends 92 integra auto, not sure what trim it is though, and he might have some performance mods too, and mine is stock for performance. do i have a chance?

my friend with a 93 prelude vtec with intake and exhaust wants to race me, i know i have no chance at all but i might try anyway[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

HeartbreakkiD

ohh ic......thanks jimmy~~
u got custome piping too? where do u get it from??2.25 inches rite??
well, someone make the custom intake for me cost me 200 buds!!
i think i will only change that 1 years later coz it is only installed about 3 months ago!
well......really appreciate that~~~~!!

Jimmy24

It cost me 65 dollars for a good 2.25 inch cat-back, but just look around,. Now is going to get a little loud!

HeartbreakkiD

where do u get that custome pipe jimmy??
coz maybe i got with that since my muffler i got cost me 300 buds including installation! maybe go with custome pipe first..if still dont have any performance maybe just go ahead buy the greddy catback

Jimmy24

You can check in any muffler shop
Just make sure to get a good quality piping, so it doesn't rust with the time.

yeah, I had a 1993 nissan 240sx with @ least 140 HP. Raced some civic si's and its always a close call. Takin into consideration that the 240sx was a tank, the driver wins the race.

I just want to point out that what you said is kinda true and kinda not true. High rev limit just means that our engines are pushed to their maximum output. I've seen 2.0l cars with as much power as we have and a lower red line. It kinda sucks 'cause it leaves us less room for increasing performance.
