what the heck? is my CA really this slow?

[flohtingPoint]

My SR T25 at 12psi is pretty damn quick. I really want to get it on a dyno and see what kind of numbers I am putting down. People tell me that its a night and day difference between the CA T25 and the SR T25.

They speak the truth. CA T25's were just too tiny. Heck, most of the ones I run across here in Germany have shaft play like a beast due to the fact that CA's have no stock recirc.

I just got my JDM bumper w/ FMIC ducting hole (no duct ATM) put on and wow... at all speeds the car is more peppy, before only air oculd flow UNDER the bumper, to the FMIC (took out the fender liner).. of course that didn't even work real well esp the faster i went cause the front under spoiler doing its job.

my new bumper, allows air directly to the FMIC, fender liner still gone (thats how the air gets out) and its noticibly more powerful pretty much everywhere. before, the car would start to heatsoak within 10-15 minutes, and lose power, now its not heat soaking even after half an hour on the highway followed by 5 minutes sitting at the drive thru !

make sure your IC's got flow, yo! (heheh)

yea i'd still like to drive yours somtime anywho i just got a hybrid FMIC and a j30 lsd (thanks to fitch9014) i have been kepping my eye open for a bigger turbo... trying to find one for a good price. that t25 i mentioned isn't gonna work out seeing he's selling the car

i think that Ian would agree with me that the motor is in good shape. seeing he drove it the other day. He thinks teh timing might be off a lil so i'm gonna check it here real soon.

Mad Props to the CA forum!!! boooyahhhh!!!

When you were racing the integra.. You said when you finished racing you were in 5th gear? How fast did you guys get up to? Im at the speed limiter as soon as i hit 4th. Also i've beaten built gsrs and type r integras from a 45 punch up to 120 by about 2 cars.

[eds13]

i was down in the tripometer. i'm guessin like 120mph

[89'ClubK's]

1/4 mile. After that is a waste of gas, and @ 120 mph, I'm guessing you raced a 1/2 mile.

[Rookieca18det]

They all use this b/c everybody knows you can get 500hp out of a Honda, and it'll still have only 100 ft/lb of torque. This means they are slow as piss at the line. Once the V-tec kicks in, your boost is already down the line! Nissan Motorsports= NISMOHonda MOtorsports= h0m0

WOW!?? There are a couple of boosted RSX's and eg hatches here in south florida that would hand you your a$$, so lets not start with the honda bashing. Infact I lost to a civic coupe (eg) tonite with a type-r motor with a 2-step on spray. He beat my by two cars, I plan to runing him again in two-three weeks once I can get a lsd and a clutch that doesnt slip. A fast car is a fast car...call it what it is.

Yes, Honda does make some great cars. My girl plans to build a 98' Prelude w/ H22. Unfortunatly, Honda doesn't equip thier cars with any sway bars from factory. Oh well... I don't want to discuss them anymore.They make good engines (or they seem really good compared to the NA Nissan engines). They have higher compression.

[Rookieca18det]

No harm no foul bro. I wish your girl good luck with her swap, I have friend with a h22 in a ek coupe and it moves pretty damn nice.

I couldn't agree more. When I had the SR T25 on there, the car was a dream!

[CaEric]

10 psi and i took out an rx-8.

[89'ClubK's]

My mistake. The Prelude does come w/ great suspension. It also comes w/ the H22 from the factory. No swap required! Hell yeah!Bottom line: Tune what you have. Respect to all who gets the best results from whatever powerplant he/she chooses.

[Rookieca18det]

she's got a SH prelude, lucky find. They are a little heavy but I would still love to get my hands on one.

[89'ClubK's]

My mistake. Preludes' have damn good suspension from the factory.'No swap nessarry, H22 comes factory.

Some cars just aren't made for rolling starts. I've seen a type r dc2 teggy take a ever so slightly modded Evo. The teggy had kpro, turbo, no interior, lots of lightweight mods, but I think what did it was the shortened gearing.Maybe you could have taken him from a light, but then, maybe your car is just ****ed up :/

[eds13]

well i checked my timing today and its perfect. I hopefully am getting a t28 here soon. i just got my front mount in the mail yesterday. i'm workin on gettin a 3" exhaust and down pipe. the other thing i need yet is a fuel pump and a fpr.



the slap was to myself becuase i'm still up and should be in bed
