meh, i think its believable...i once did a 13.4 @ 129 in my old civic, on street tires.


i am really disapointed in my times.
1998 gs400, k&n filter, denso iridium IX's, HKS axle back mufflers, on big 20" rims (with a 285 wide tire)
my best so far is a 15.18 @ 96mph. with a 2.3 60'

My car constantly only spins the pass. rear tire...so im looking at shimming the sway bar and try to get it to spin both tires. hoping that by getting traction i can get into the 2.1x 60' range and dip into the 14's where i should be lol

Any video link for this run? I only seen the 11 second video. Also this is a 2nd gen performance forum, the 2nd gen's are a different animal when it comes to modding, I wish my car was as easy to mod as the old GS300. I would like to hear from other members to see if they want this list to include the 1st gen GS or not.

yeah thats a light civic with fwd and with how much horsepower?

jeff is (i think DONT QUOTE ME) MID 500 horsepower or more and rwd i just thought it would be mid 12's to low 11's, yes its heavier but still. and again im not knocking him or anyone im very impressed with him and his build quality and knowledge....like i said slicks should def knock him into mid 12's easily if not a high 11

Well Jeff ran 12.6 so he's in the mid 12's already. From listening to that video it sounds like his torque converter is slipping all the way down the track, I think he had a converter issue.

The 14's are almost off the list, keep the times coming!

my civic was a SOHC, 4dr, full weight car. weighed 2720 with me in it. It dyno'd 405whp on a dyno jet.....on the same setup the car went 11.43 @ 127 on slicks, and the 1 run i did on street tires was a 13.4 @ 129

so yea slicks will be the biggest determining factor, but i think adamgamz summed it up already

+1 for 2g's only

I'm going for the 2nd gen GS #1 spot this Friday on street tires, no spray on pump gas and low boost. I may eat my words but I think I can break 11.7's My GS300 is finally running really nicely, got a good set up!

a d16z6 with 405....prepare for some breakage. i did this 2...had about 250 NA then rebuilt motor for boost and was making mid 400's before i realized the waste of building the SOHC and switched to a DOHC b20 boosted than a b20/vtec

lol sounds like the natural progression of hondas...i did the same thing!

interestingly enough my sohc did not break 1 single part...ever. not even so much as an axle.

i sold that car, and built a GSR motor. did 500whp and broke lots of parts...eventually it dropped a valve destroyed the motor. then i built an n/a h2b and put it in the integra, then sold it....and got out of hondas all together, and now im here

you have a username on honda-tech? i would probably recognize it. i am fast2camciv on there.

Ya i think he broke into the 12's on his old setup if he could build enough boost and get traction he could probably get some good times with the new setup..

I never made it to the track Friday, then on Saturday my R154 let go. I'm having it rebuilt with Marlin Crawler upgrades, hopefully it will hold the power now.
