Racing a 99 hatch LS/vtec swap, Ito said that car must have at least 180HP

so I raced him at bunker hill. remember in this situation it depends on the driver

so in this case i was the bad driver . So we race the first time and my boy flag

I slept off the line and pulled at the end of 1st gear passed him up by a door then we were even then my car pulled forward by half a car and then i missed third and still beat him by a car. so he was mad.alright, so we did it again and i waited for his break even though we had a flag man. so the second time i had slight tire shake but was able to beat him by a car and a half. and like the first time i missed third.



-I havent raced in a year and this is my second car. My fiebre left the first time after my crash. soonce again i have to get my skillz up racing. anyways i almost forgot to mention that my cars was bone stock wit still all three cats .If you dont believe me ask the only person who worked on my car <The JUDGE>

almost forgot its a 6-port

Absolutely stunning.

COOL

FC vs. Honda round three!!!

hopefully this weekend but he claims after he puts exhaust on his car it should give him at least 50 horses . only modification I did was go to Ito to put on my header

Car has alot more torque and alot more top end but I'm thinking of going single exhaust.maybe thats where I'll feel a bigger difference.NE ways I need some opinions? should I go single with a apexi N1 muffler or go with racing beat cat backs?



-hopefully I'll get this done by this weekend for the rematch! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Go with the RB Catback. Header +N1 = uberloud. It may be fun for a while, but that loud of a car will get annoying. Very annoying.

[/quote]I was wondering ???? What mods you got done to your car?Maybe you can give me some ideas on some bolt-on mods.

I think you mean RB header , RB presilencer, N1 cat back. I have owned one of these set ups and it does cost a little. I got many complements on the sound that system made. It was actually rather quiet until over 4k or so.

Going flat out under a bridge it sounded much like an indy car. Mine was an 86 N/A with a street port, 11lb flywheel, 89+ uim and 550 secondaries.

The car would keep up with a slightly modded Eclipse GST, thats a turbo one. I never took it to the strip or a dyno but you can ask most the SCrx7 club how fast it was.

^^ Aye, presilencer makes a difference.



My car is, currently, minimally modded. I've got a header I bought from a forum member that he had made himself, to a resonator off of a TII, to a Y pipe and 2 Ebay N1 Knockoffs. This is how I know how annoyingly loud it can be. I've considered taking everything off and just going back to stock parts. I don't have the funds for an RB system.

$10 says this "Exhaust" is just an Autozone muffler.



Seriously, whats with all these honda kids thinking that swapping out their muffler is modding the exhaust, and then claiming more HP than a header-back exhaust system would give them?



Hell, with my headerback I would have been very pleasantly surprised to see 15 horses out of it.

I view exhaust as a flow/looks/sound thing. Almost like a reverse intake. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Now if "exhaust" meant a turbo manifold (with turbo), sure, 50 seems reasonable. But from what I can tell, Civic boy is just another ricer.

[/quote]Right now I'm going to do the single exhaust using a bootleg N1 and also using a racing beat presilencer.Next biggest upgrade is a ECU reflash(upgraded) that I'm waiting for until friday. BTW you ever run your car at the track?

[/quote]These guys do little swaps to their civics and automatically think they're erick aquilar!!Just the other night I took a risk and went down to Newark for the streetracing and was one of the fastest cars???!! They thought I had a 12-sec car??

listen if you guys want to feel fast (lol if your stock) go to newark



spot called AVENUE P = civic nation

-basically the bracket class( 15.99-17.00)

Im sorry you have no real competition.

I'd hate to break it to you... But generally anyone who knows enough about Hondas to do an LS-VTEC swap into a hatch usually isn't ricer enough to just swap out the muffler. People who do semi-complicated swaps like that don't skimp on one of the easiest ways to make a few extra horses.



There's a guy down by where I used to live that has an Integra (Japanese) K20 type-R motor in a gutted CRX. Puts down high 11's/low 12's with intake, exhaust, and drag slicks... There are many other all motor Hondas down south that run faster than 13 seconds no nitrous.

With only a RB Header, Borla Cat-Back exhaust system, and a custom intake setup, I was able to run 15.4 @ 93 mph. Not bad, but with the things I got over the winter(MR Short Throw shifter, Pineapple Racing sleeves, and an APex'I S-AFC) I am hoping to get into the 14's.
