With so many people buying turbos around here (gotta love SF, right?), I am interested in what track times people are running with these things....
Basically, a stock Civic should be running mid to high 15's, best case scenario....
What times are boosted people running....
What mods do you have?
I'm not interested in what they "will" run, but what they actually do run....
BTW, I did search and only found bits and pieces of times.....

Mid to High 15's? ummmm well over here in Oregon a 93 4 Door Civic with a B18B Swap runs a 15.4 i don't think by any chance our civics run a mid to high 15 especially stock then again I could be wrong.

A freakishly fast time would be high 15s. There are very few stock civics thast have ever run that. A stock manual civic is lucky to run in the low 16s.
Redvic in Canada east ran a 13.2 @ 9psi I believe

It all depends on the weather, sea level, and track conditions. Best I've seen a stock EX run was 15.8 With a few mods, some weight reduction, and a good driver I don't see why we couldn't see mid 15s in good conditions. With the SF stage 2 kit, good driver, and good conditions I don't see why we couldn't see really low 13s/high 12s. But we will have to see what Mike pulls.

Mid 15's?? I dunno...best run ive had was 16.74. Ok, I admit I fell asleep behind the wheel (0.91 reaction time), but I cant see mid 15's even with a perfect reaction time. BTW, all I have is CAI.

13.2 and he's selling turbo... that sounds fishy to me... so far, for people willing to show slips its me and cat ..... noone with a K swap or even K turbo swap for that matter can hook up well enough...
cat= 13.6
me= 13.80
i MIGHT hit track one more time... my alcy injection is better tuned now, but i still have crap tires.. i just wanna get a 13.6-- before the end of the season.. we'll see... im getting beter and better as a driver too, this being my first turbo car ive raced... and also since ive only been to track these last two times in 3 years.. LOL... used to go often, now = RARELY.. you guys will be 2nd to know if i beat the 13.80 @ 102 mph... 1st being my club... LOL.. later... and yeah... high 15's on stock would be a GODLY driver in PERFECT conditions...

yeah.. we all need better tracks.. our track around here... great lakes... SUX.. EVERYONE runs 1/2 sec. or so fasdter down in illlinois at thier track... i wanna go... but cant really.. maybe next year when i get a lil more done... i would have to say that since my 2 best takes so far are a 00 Cobra with i/e/h... and a new Evo (stock i assume ;0) ).. so i think im faster than a 13.80.... especially since i vbeat those cars on my 19s.......

This information is interesting.... Any other turbo people want to pipe in with their times???
Oh, and I was trying to give people the benefit of the doubt about 15's in a stock Civic....
And I find it amazing that people are going from mid 16's to mid 13's by just adding a 9lb turbo kit.... It doesn't make sense to me....

115 hp stock to 200 or so with 9 lbs boost.... big difference in a 2300lb car... 85hp is BIG difference.. not to ention the huge torque difference...
