finally got civic gsr to the strip
 

I got up to Portland international raceway finally, it was my first time ever driving my car at the drag strip. My first run was a 17.2@ 84mphnot to great. Then by the end of the night I was at a 16.1@ 88mph. I could not launch very high becasue this track does not put down any VHT which kinda sucks but not risking broken parts. Here are some pictures they are just from before the races not of actual racing as the photagrapher was racing to.

and where are these pictures?

RE: finally got civic gsr to the strip
 

only 88mph? what is done to the motor? that sounds like something isnt right.

RE: finally got civic gsr to the strip
 

GSR engine with I/H/E thats it, and the car was fully weighed down even my school backpack was still in the car.

my suggestion is to get rid of the intake manifold and get a skunk2 one, then run a p30 ecu. youll be amazed of the power you get.

RE: finally got civic gsr to the strip
 

Personally, I'd skip on the brand name price tag of the Skunk 2 and get a BLOX IM (that's what I'm using also) if that's the route you're going to take. I won't get you huge gains, but it will get you some top end (probabaly at the expense of some bottom end). An IM paired with a larger TB would probabaly be more beneficial. I can't remember, are you on your stock ECU or are you tuned? Those mods might be a bit much for a stock ECU.

RE: finally got civic gsr to the strip
 

Yeah I am on the stock P72 ECU, and I do have a BLOX IM. Thats one reason I have held off on the IM is becasue I am not sure if that will be to much for the ecu or not. I was thinking about possibly waiting and doing cams, injectors and get a different ecu to get it tuned. My goal was to eventually run low 14's high 13's. And with the camaro coming home this week its kind of getting to the poin where the civic might become nothing more then a gas miser also in part due to fuel prices. In which case the camaro will be nothing but a gas guzzling toy.

youll be well in the range of low 14s/high 13s with that. I got my 95 coupe with full interior (incl custom sub enclosure)to 14.8@95 on the stock jdm gsr motor with just a clutch and flywheel. and I just lately got back out since I did mods to the motor and managed 14.3@98 on street tires and 14.0@98 on Nitto 555Rs. youre on your way though. and if you do the manifold, it will run fine on a b16 or type r ecu. but before you do anything else, upgrade your fuel pump. (Walbro 255 works great)

I too will be taking my first trip up to that track on sunday in my car, 93' hatch with a GSR swap. 16's sounds a little high seems like it should be faster then that. The owner of my car before had it running 14.4@96. Skunk2 im and p30 def will make a dif, thats what i got def suggest it.

I let you kno wat i can do at the track after sunday im hoping to at the very least break 15 so

RE: finally got civic gsr to the strip
 

yeah, Im more interested in his speed than time. times vary too much depending on driver experience. my last time out, it had been a couple of years since I had drag raced, and I butchered the first run, but despite almost a full second difference through the day(only 4 runs), all of my trap speeds were within about 1mph of each other. high 97- high 98. Ive got a few more mods than Sandrider, but even on the stock b18c I was running high 94-low 95. but then If you look at the weights of our three similarly powered cars, we are going to be way lighter than a b18 6th gen. a couple hundred pounds makes a big difference.
