its amazing how a better start will shave 1 sec off your1/4!!! you should easily be able to get lower than that, not a bad reaction time just work on launching and shifting and optimum shiftpoints to maintain the optimum quarter mile time for your setup

Damn dude, that's about where I was, but I hit a 16 flat with intake exhaust. But then again, I was at sea level with 40* weather out here.

I launched at 3/4k and got 16.5's. With my mods now, I run a 16.3-16.2, but I need to work on my 60' times. I cant get better than a 2.5 60' time. Of course, all the humidity and heat here affects my times as well.

That pretty good now you need to figure out little trick that will help in getting that time lower with out that many mods. By the way is that a a V-TEC or V-TEC E car. Becasue there is a big difference in the way the valve train runs and engages V-TEC. That and a header or my be another mod might help out a lot to. Have fun at the track and try different things you may find one that works really well

Personally, my 60 foot times always suck ***, in the neighborhood of 2.45 just like yours, but my 1/4 times are quite respectable. I can't seem to get a better 60 foot time. I have done 2.3X before, but that was before my mods. If i could get that kind of launch now, I can't imagine what kind of times I would run.
Here's one of my slips:

60 foot 2.454
1/8 Mile ET 10.240
1/8 Mile MPH 70.10
1/4 Mile ET 15.800
1/4 Mile MPH 88.90 <----- check out that trap speed!!!!!


BTW, the Tsudo catback kicks ***, I love mine. Get a HP-type header and high flow cat to get the most out of it.

And the SOHC VTEC on the EX is a crock of marketing BS.

Well after I get my header I will try to decide on if to get the high flow cat?
Does it make it much louder or or deeper sound? also what kind of gains did u get??
More high end power? Did u install ur header and highflow cat at the same time?
There only like 70ish on ebay so.... Also do I need a o2simulator for that?
thx

ebay intake? you mean the 30 dollar cold air intake? would that do the same as getting like an aem? i was just gonna get the generic sri on ebay for like 20 bucks. i put one of those on my supra n it felt pretty good when i did it. what u guys think?

I think the humidity was like 75ish and it was maybe 70ish out that night at the track!
But My shitty Firestones dont help at all....

How many of u at the track feather the clutch when lauching ....
SO far I have only just reved it up and to a certain rpm then dump the clutch .
But yea Just need more runs at the track!

you have a really good r/t for your first time... i went for my first time in my 01 HX last friday... however the track i was at (LACR in cali) is in the high desert about 3000ft above sea level (thinner air)... here's my times.. i calculated what it would be at sea level...

my mods are injen sri, apexi N1 catback, RVM pulley, and i was on stock EX firestones...

1st run EVER (horrible launch, and ran against a 14.1 sec turbo integra )
RT: 1.028
ET: 17.847
MPH: 79.563
sea level ET: 17.31
sea level MPH: 81.95

2nd run (better RT and better launch)
RT: .820
ET: 17.491
MPH: 79.413
sea level ET: 16.96
sea level MPH: 81.8

3rd run (worst RT, but I did the intake sensor mod right before the run and i did a small burnout to warm up the tires, both worked pretty well as you can tell with my ET)
RT: 1.101
ET: 17.047
MPH: 79.981
sea level ET: 16.53
sea level MPH: 82.38

http://www.installuniversity.com/ins...ricker_mod.htm
http://www.higherpowered.net/zr2/docs/air.html


what you do is get a resistor and put it into the intake air temperature sensor... what this does is trick the ecu into thinking its really cold outside... cold air = denser air... therefore the ecu tries to keep the same air/fuel ratio by dumping more fuel into the mix... but since it really isn't that cold outside, this causes your engine to run rich... it also advances your timing as well...

this can create a gain in horsepower, but more wear and tear to the engine... so i don't recommend doing this for daily driving, only for track days... also i wouldn't recommend doing this if it is already cold outside (like 60 degrees or colder)

the 2 sites above say to use a 4.7 ohm resistor, this will trick the ecu into thinking its 57 degrees outside... i used a 3.3k ohm resistor (orange >orange >red> gold) which = 32 degrees outside

I cut horrid times in my old ex though it was stock maybe it was something to do with the no stick tires and loose slave cylinder I dont know, but I cut 2.4 60 foot times

yeh man do that resistor mod and you're bound to cut a 16 second run. dude maybe you can advance the timing into the intake stroke or something , i bet that'd be real cool. since when did running rich increase horsepower?
