Yep, I went to rep. HMT and had alot of compliments on the setup etc. I was also very surprised at how my HMT setup did on the 1/4 mi. too. This was my first time EVER at the track and I'm happy with the results. Though it won't stop here, this just gives me room to improve . This was at the Import wars at New England dragway if anyone attended.

First run was against a supercharged 350Z, just barely beat him.
R/T: Him- 1.102 Me- 1.194
60': Him- 2.356 Me- 2.229
1/4 mi.: Him- 13.663 Me- 13.648
MPH: Him- 106.93 Me- 105.94

Second run was against a Neon SRT4. I remember passing him about 1/2-3/4 down the track.
R/T: Him- .846 Me- 1.220
60': Him- 2.292 Me- 2.207
1/4 mi.: Him- 14.070 Me- 13.606
MPH:Him- 100.51 Me- 106.07

I only made 2 runs for the day because I had no helmet and the car did better than I expected (anything quicker than a 13.99 here you need a helmet). But, these runs were done on my stock Integra LS (B18b) at 10 lbs. Tires were BFG drag radials and I think my pressure was too high because I get alot of wheelspin still. I need to work on my launches, traction, and 60' a bit more, but all in all I am happy with the first ever runs I've made. Thanks alot HMT I will continue to rep the site and put some more smackdown at the track

Not bad and I'm just kinda asking, but on drag radials you should be around 2 flat 60 foot times, right? 13.6 isn't bad, but on drag radials shouldn't you dip a little more? Just asking. I don't know respectable times for your set-up. Please inform me.

Don't know, I've never raced on them before. But, tire pressure was set to 20psi in both tires. Setup is:
Stock B18b
Ported IM and throttlebody
2-1/2" charge pipes
HKS SSQV bov
JRC 6" FMIC
T3/T4e .57trim turbo pushing 10lbs.
Neukin manifold
3" mandrel downpipe with full 3"mandrel exhaust straight back to an Apexi N1 turbo can.
450cc DSM's
Street tuned on Uberdata (have yet to make some passes on the dyno)

I was also launching maybe a bit too high at 4500 RPM. I'm sure this will take alot of practice to get down and get the car setup. I think my wheelspin killed me. Are you supposed to do a burnout in the water on drag radials?

samson

LOL. The blind leading the blind here. LOL. I always thought you burnout with anything really, street, slicks, Mom's winter tires. I bet that BOV sounds good, kinda reminds me of Megaman the video game when I here it on a video. Got any pics of this set-up? Is it in your 94-01 teg or a swap? When I lauched my car it's usually only at 3000 on streets, but again that was n/a (which really doesn't matter since I build boost late into 1st) and was on the streets not the track. I got some small spin and slippage then picks up and goes. Just seems perfect wheelspin, but when I fully grab it is kinda low in the rpm and takes time to get up. I don't know that was n/a, so maybe boost just makes everything slow. I have to put this clutch and run. Good job then man and just practice for the best. Low 13s, in my mind, is very plausible for your set-up. I think you should hit those numbers you ran the other night on streets when you get the hang of it. Good luck man!

Yup, this was in my 00 Heavy assed Integra. I do have the rear section stripped because of an added rollbar but I still had the 2 front seats and everything else. Also had some 17's on the rears when I made these runs. I may slap some 15's on next time to see if it cuts down some weight. Only reason traction was an issue was because first sucks, it just spins all the way through, and second rips up in the top of the gear when the turbo builds full boost, and the rest of the gears are the power grabbers. I just need to stop the wheelspin down low. Maybe a good set of traction bars will stop some wheelhop and keep the tires planted.

SpankedYA!

Good times Steve. Traction bars help a lot.

jinxy

you burnout on drag radials. that should help your times a bit

tranceminister

Yeah, I was just doing some research for next time I go. I was burning them out but I don't think I heated them up enough. Also, 20psi in the tires is alot from what I've been reading. Most people will start them at 15psi and go from there. Ah well, it's alway's a learning thing

StanB

Good times Trance.
