Integra's ?

[Black_CSR]

Hi Guys... Just posting something that's concering me a little bit..

I had a Run wif a (97 Model GSR Not Sure if it's Vtec or Not..) @ Drag Strip Sometime Ago

Spunned it when i dropped it on 2nd then Redlined it a little bit then dumped into into 3rd n Squeeled a little bit..

My Mods r Stock Turbo Boosted to 10Psi, Cat Back 3", Hybrid GT FMIC, Extreme 9 Puck Clutch, HKS Filter on Cusco Zero1's Coilovers & 17"z wif 245'z @ da back..(R33 GTS-T Series 2)

Was Suprised He Kept up wif me.. didn't kill him like i thought i would.. just didn't think he would of kept up wif me that close..

My Question is what do u Guys reckon that Integra had Mod wise.. n what Mods do i need to leave it for dead.. hehe..

P.S. (Gettin a 3" Dump Pipe/Front Pipe in one and 3" Hi Flow Cat S/S X-Froce installed on Monday)

Thanks

Type Rs are fairly quick stock but any GTST should blow it away... stock. Modded Skylines should still be quicker as Integras are hard to extract power out of...

You auto or manual?

It was probably just that he/she drove a better race,

I'm not putting you down, but you can make a hell of alot of time just by launching a car properly and knowing when to shift.

Cheers

Since this was at the drag strip, couldn't you just walk up to him and ask him what mods he was running?

[Busky2k]

By the sounds of it you need to learn how to gun your Skyline properly?

Driving tyres and suspention has more to do with drag racing than what people think much more to it then just HP.

[readyGO]

What sort of tyres were you running and what psi?

What is your suspension setup like?

Get a power fc next and boost to 12psi and you'll have no problem

i dont think "add more powah" was the response he was looking for

seriously, some drivers are for one reason or another, better and the drags... integras arnt fast and you'll comforably blow 99.8% of them off the road without raisng a sweat

Notice I was asking key suspension and tyre question before telling him to get a power fc??

You sure it was a stock Integra GSi? Why would anyone bother to take a stock GSi to the drags?

Must have had an Integra Type R engine transplant.

My mate has done this engine transplant with Type R gearbox with adjustable cam gears, exhaust, R compound tyres. It is seriously quick. He was getting consistent low 13secs passes with it.

[SMR33]

If it was a GS-R then yes, the 1.8 litre engine has VTEC...but its like only 125kw at the engine.

Back then though I thought there was only GSi / VTi-R models in Aust, but I'm not certain

Do you have your time card? Scan it in for us so we can see your 60 foot etc times

I raced a Honda Integra Type R, he beat me, purely because he was more use to his car.

Sure they are quick, but with a good launch, the right changes etc... You should beat him with your current set up.

I've got a pretty stock car, cat back exhaust, safc II (I don't think it's tuned), phat tyres (17" 235 fronts, 255 rears), Heavy duty clutch and a HKS pod filter with CAI box. Rest is stock as a rock. But I know if I was doing my gears better (I'm new to the car at the track), I could have beatin him easily as he was only just getting up on me during gear changes (he was flat changing, while I wasn't and I launch like bog or wheelspin).

Just practice your driving and you should be fine. The dump pipes will help you out heaps... but more important is how well you can drive. Go take some courses and lessons, best way to learn

Edit: I should point out my 120kg friend was in the passenger seat and myself at 90kg. It all makes a difference, I still drive soft... Coming from a Twincam Corolla to a Skyline is fun

NO i don't have my Time Card anymore this was a while ago..

I was runnin Nexen N3000 Tyres on 32Psi all around.., the Zero 1 Coilovers didn't have damper/stiffness Adjustment.. just the Height.. but the Front End was Lowered than the Back End..

Before i take it to the DragStrip again will prolly Get a Short Shifter n Maybe CAI...

How do u guys Launch ur Car?? Do u guys let ur Clutch ride out a bit.. or just Dump it.. Mind kinda Bites hard.. so i let it ride out a bit.. or if i just Dump it.. it will Bog Down sometimes

Thanks

if it was your first time out you're likley to run shit house times.

its all in the take off.

p.s. autos are quicker mmk

[interkool]

Do you have any idea what time he and yourself ran? It will give us an idea of how your driving your skyline.

[Inline6TT]

I've seen naturally aspirated Integras over here with street-legal tires run 12s with K20s and 13s with B18s. Coulda been rocked by a sleeper.

There is tons of stuff power wise you can do with an Integra that you would never know the difference from stock. An Eaton or centrifugal supercharger has no visible outward signs of tuning. 300+ hp and under 1000 kg is pretty quick.

Some of the fastest street class Integras state side look bone stock except for slicks and a gigantic intercooler. The top guys make 600-800 hp and run into the 8s and 9s. The tires are definitely the main giveaway with a quick front wheel drive car

[Black_CSR]

Around the Mid to High 13'z.. on average on all the Runs i did.

Can't tell u exactly my 60 foot times etc.. cuz I dunno where Time Card is.
