Went to the drag strip today


I wasnt picking holes in yours. Its the dc2 running a 13.7/13.6 I dont believe.


Like Lee said, I know of some quick dc2s with full breathing mods, stripped out with high compression and these are running 14.0 or 14.1.

times seem a little suspicious dan
in my ek9 i got 13.95 @ 104mph with a 60ft time of 2.150 on toyo t1S's and no LSD

this was on a runway of an airport which had little traction and was on a slight incline up

timing gear was set up and run by the same crew that do santa POD

figures seem to conflict

Dude, why would he be making it up???? :(
 
Guys, the time is not suspicious at all. As I mentioned above, a 100'ish trap will get you into the low 13's. To get that ET is a different story (as you need driver skill and car setup), but if the car is making that trap, then yes, I most certainly believe the ET that he posted :)

right,

However suspicious the times i got are, they are the times i got. And to compare, i already said i went to that same strip when i first got my EK9 with my B16B and could only manage a 15.2 @ 92MPH.

On that day there were some very powerful cars that could not manage good times. So i was no exception to the rest. Alot of people on the day were coming up to me asking what the hell i had in my car to go so quickly. They thought i had cams/pistons etc.

Even i was shocked. But im not being funny nothing can really touch me on the road either. I get comments all the time for why the car is so quick.

The times fully add up IMO, hard to believe yes, but when racing other well known fast cars and im pulling on them i think well a 13.7 does make sense....

I also would like to think im pretty decent at dragging.

"ninety-one-racing" speaks some good sense.

I cannot scan my slip as i only have a lap top but here is what the slip says that was the best time:

REACTION - 0.674
60ft - 2.290
330ft - 5.905
MPH - 81.27
660ft - 8.928
990ft - 11.473
MPH - 101.10
13.781



People can go on all day but im not lying.

Why in the world would he lie? Its not going aid him in anyway.
 
no i was not on a FIA approved strip but it was run with the same equipment and the same guys that set up and run santa pod

im not saying anyone is lying im just questioning the timing gear being set up properly
@dino
Integra DC2 :: Log in
all of these tegs seem to back up my claim of around low to mid 14's on DC2's
 
and @ ek9dan

while reading through ITR-DC2 i came across an ek9 with b18c who managed to get
Hi guys, i went to the pod on the 22/2/09 in my b18 powered ek9 and my fastest time was a 13.7 with a terminal of 99, also did 13.9 and a 14.0.

searched for his spec and here it is
Hi guys, just thiught id tell you all my spec with prices so people have got a rough idea. lightened flywheel, p30 pistons, 81.25 bore, standard head gasket, s2 high comp valves, s2 pro series springs and rets, s2 pro 1 cams, mild head work, s2 pro series inlet with aem hybrid filter, mugen header, de-cat, spoon b-pipe and n1, mapped on crome. This made 230 at thor and i have done 12000 miles in it without any problems

i managed 13.95 on my stock b18c stripped to the bone with no lsd so our figures are not a million miles away from one another
 
theres a vid of a stock dc2 on the net at santa pod doing a 14.2, which its quite impressive for a stock n/a motor.. so i think a 13.8 is not unbelievable with a motor thats had some breathing/ecu mods..??

also why do people keep talking as if LSD's make any difference on traction in a straight line..??? :angry:
 
just wondered, i ran a cusco clutch plate type in my fwd 320bhp starlet, and i noticed no difference in straight line traction, corners was ALOT better though.. i suppose it depends how and when they lock though, does the dc2 have a helical as standard?
 
@LEE, Im not sure why that guy only manged a 14.0, driver probably has alot to do with it. I have a bit of experience behind me in dragging.

As i said im not at all surprised with my time as the car on road really is a fast car. You managed a 13.9, but remember i have a header/exhaust. So ive probably got a bit more power then you and im using a very good intake/ OEM DC2 intake with cold air feed out the bumper BUT still on stock filter. Works really well though.

If you had the same mods as me, as you mentioned your is completely stock then im sure you could get very close to 13.7 too.

I also had my rear stripped out like you.
 
Great times, brilliant trap speed that. You can't compare times to another person who has a similar car...that's the whole point of drag racing (driver)

when i say stock i mean stock intenally as in no fancy flywheels or cams

i obviously have breathing mods in the form of
J's Racing induction kit
DC2 98 spec 4 into 1
fujitsubo decat
fujitsubo RM01A b pipe
5zigen pro racer axle back

Ahh fair enough mate,

Well there isnt a massive difference from 13.9-13.7, but that is a fair amount on a similar set up the drag strip.

There are alot of variables when dragging would be hard to put a finger on it.
 
you have seen my video so its deffo not down to me being a bad driver

i question the timing gear thats all
 
But then a 15.2 also must be too good for a near stock ek9 as that's what I could only manage on that same strip? That's not paticularly out of time is it?

I've also mentioned that on the day of the 13.7 there were many cars getting what they should of, evos getting low 14's, most of the 1000cc bikes getting 10's, ep3 civic getting 15.3 etc etc....

Just because my time seems a bit better then most doesn't mean it's not legit. As said there are too many variables to split hairs. If I was getting low 13's on my set up then I would also doubt, but 13.7 isn't exactly outragous, it's just a decent time on my set up.

Take a picture of your time slip and post it up.

It was on an approved drag strip.

End of.

Who can question it?
