Well yesterday my buddy in his FG2 was wanting to go to the drag strip and well I was like alright I would like to see where I am at with you. He has stock FG2 and I have a I/RH/E ep3. Well we got down there and well we lined up and got ready. Well the results I was pretty happy with actually. This a 1/4 mile by the way. I went 15.4 and 60' was 2.3 and forgot mph and my buddy in his fg2 was a 15.3. I was pretty happy that I kept up with him that good considering that my car has bout 8 hp less and so much amount of torque and I am a 5 speed.

Ya I am pretty glad that my economy k20a3 with bolt ons can keep up and stay with a newer si with the k20z3.

I kinda want to take my car to the drag strip just to see how accurate the pocket dyno on my iPhone is. On level ground, from a stop, it said I did a ¼ in 15.7 with boltons and a lightweight flywheel..

I'm pretty sure it's at least a second off. haha

Lol ya it might be off alittle but it really depends on the altitude of where you are at. I have seen runs from a new stock si with a time of 15.8 cause the strip was at high altitude.

You should take it man its alot of fun when you take a bunch of your buddies with you and take runs at each other. Down here at our drag strip we have import nights on friday so everyone gets to take runs for free.

For real? free runs? At the Vegas Motor Speedway, it costs $15 to run.. And they only have races every other Friday, I think.

Plus, I'd like to fix the problems I have with my car before I run her at the track.. and get some better tires, too. I'd have to learn how to dial in my suspension for drag racing. I keep it stiff for fun on twisty roads.

Ya we get free runs its pretty cool but thats the only day for that. All the other days its the same as yours 15$.

Yea, the only time they allow public racing on the drag strip is the friday night "midnight mayhem" from 8pm-12am.. If they had something where they opened up a road course, I'd be all over it.. haha

Me and my friends have been talking about gathering 32 people and renting out laguna seca for a day. I think we figured it'd cost like 300-350 per person if we did.

take a diet and you might get 0.01 sec faster!
Unless you are like me and have nothing to shave, just bones to throw to the dogs to get less wieght!
And post the times when the K24 is in!

 
Rep Power: 511

Lol, Laguna Seca's in Central Cali... Sounds like if we get this laguna seca deal goin, you have some driving to do..

Yeah,I'd also like to see the times the K24 puts up.The torque difference should help a lot not to mention the power.Your buddy should get some I/RH/E on his ride.K20Z3 is beast with it.

I will definetley go with the k24 in. Sadly the k24 is going to have to wait a little. I have had some money issues and had to spend the money for the motor for other things. But its all good my house and my family is more important. I am going to sell this 3 things I have to get the money for it.

But me and him are going to go for another run next friday or this friday if you want to say that. But I am hoping that I will either be like a couple hundredths of a sec slower or faster than him. I am going to try to get my 60' down a little this time, I am hoping to get like a 2.1 on that so I can get a better edge at it. The only problem with him beating me is my 3rd gear. Me and him stayed side by side till 3rd and he gained on me but soon as 4th I stayed with him. I know if I get a good take off and good 60' I would be able to be right there with him or even beat him by maybe alittle.

Yes,family should always come first.Do you get any wheel spin off the line?A good launch would have you beating him considering how close the two cars are.

The previous owner took my Blazer to the track. It pulls low 16's. My bike is capable of 10's but I haven't taken it to the track yet. I say that if you cannot pull 14's go home. That's why I am not going to take my civic to the track.

By the way, look up "A scooter races a firebird" on YouTube if you haven't seen it, it is awesome!

Ya I spin alittle on take off but not much. I will also make a little sqwill in 2nd. The only thing with my car its hard to launch right cause my vtec kicks in at 2200 rpms.

 
Rep Power: 208

Why do you have it kick in so low? Doesn't that hurt your gas mileage?

 
Rep Power: 214

It is suppose to be like that man. I dont have the real ivtec like the other k motors. The k20a3 has the ivtec-e which is the economy ivtec. Instead of both the intake and exhaust camshafts having 3 lobes to engage vtec, mine only engages by the intake camshaft with 1 lobe and it kicks in at 2200 rpms.
