Sorry for the late reply..I don't check these forums much.Yes, I was crossing in 3rd gear, right around 9k. I had bumped up the limiter to 9300 because I was getting close, but I don't think I crossed over 9k. I ran pretty low pressure in mine as well.Best 60' on them was 1.9, but if...

Unfortunately I haven't gotten a 10-second pass out of my full weight FWD yet, but here's some updates.Car made 720whp on the 35r (video/info/pics are in the hangout somewhere) a few weeks ago.The following day, I ran two 11.5 @ 130mph+ passes on FWD tranny and 24.5" slicks. Both passes...

No spacers when running the 15" wheels/tires.Car is lowered on coilovers, no idea how much, probably about 1.5" or so, I corner-weighted it also.

15 x 7, 35mm offset. 11-12lbs each I think, really light. Wheels are discontinued.You can get a set of Rota's in similar size.I run my M&H DOT's on the same wheels, 235-60-15, with 205-50-15's out in the rear to act as skinnies.

ShepTrans FWD Tranny, KAAZ diff set to 60% lockup, Stock OEM axles, 24.5x8.5x15" M&H Slicks on ATS Comp Lite wheels.Next time at the track I should go 10's pretty easily. I just got a matching set of wheels for the rear of the car so I won't have to be turning over the big Gram-Lites at the...

Yes.

Car went to the track the day after the dyno for some shakedown passes.First pass, 11.5 @ 132 on a 2.0 60' short shifting just to make sure the tune was ok from the dyno.Second pass, 11.5 @ 128. Went for 10's this pass, 1.70 60', but the twin disk (PTT) allowed me to shift the car so...

4 year old 6 bolt 2.0 built by John Shepherd.

No, not really. I might change valve springs to rev the 272's to 10k, but with the fact that I'm maxing the 35r with ZERO intentions of going bigger, cams will make little difference when coupled with the price cost.

DSM record, not a Honda record. I'd surely hope a Honda could make more HP with their far superior head design.

Boost was low with a big turbine housing.

No sir. STRAIGHT PUMP GAS.

Took the car down to Infinite Speed & Performance Online Store in Maryland to let Brad Brooks work his magic on the car/AEM..Results speak for themselves (and I believe its a record):600whp/392wtq on 23.5psi and Sunoco 94 Pump Gas721whp/486wtq on 33psi falling to 31psi and VP Q16...

You guys are making Nate's balls HUGE by all this nut swinging!!;)

Get em Nate! :)See you in a few weeks, bring the Hoegarden!

You need to flip the TPS around 180degrees. Then re-set it up.

APPLEPIE!!!

Yes.

I've got a nice set of 5mm spacers from Supercar-Engineering. They also sell 3mm spacers. They are not really proper hub centric, but they fit MUCH better than anything universal you can buy. I've ran them on my car for several thousand miles without any issue.There is really no need for...

5mm spacers MAX with stock wheel studs.

Right you are cowboy.

Hellbent - Fast Cars Knight Rider RemixThe 1000whp+ run was taped, the problem is that the sound of 54psi coming out of the exhaust caused all of the on-site cameras to error and shut down, so the footage was junked.:rocks:

My domain is blocked due to some pictures I have up there. I have www.BrooksTuned.com setup as a redirect back to Brad's subdomain right now.I will finish the domain migration completely tonight and that should prevent these problems in the future.

Video will be up shortly. ;)

No, the brushes will swirl your paint like none other. As well as the guys that hand dry your car.I go through the laser touchless systems if my car is REALLY dirty, then go home and wash it by hand.I'm a concours level detailer and have seen many DEEP scratches by car washes. If you are...

Don't heat up your street tires at all.Actually try to drive around the water box and just give them a quick little spin to get any rocks off of them.Unfortunately there's not much you can do on a FWD with street tires to get any rockin' 60foots.

http://www.doitbig.org/dsm/firstpass.wmv12.0 @ 124.1.9 60'

I went through 3, yes 3 complete sets of remanufactured calipers before I gave up. They would leak within a few days from the piston bores.I got all my money back, plus money for labor and brake fluid and went and bought a set of reman's from Mitsubishi. No leaks.

Probably some of the best advice in this thread.It's almost scary how high I have to launch my car to get those slicks to spin hard in first, like 6k+.

Don't even waste your time on any other site quoting timeslips other than DSMtimes.org.I'm sure there are a few fast cars out there that aren't on that site, but I would just go by the site.You're looking at ~10.70 range to meet your goals this year. Well, if you are talking street 2g...

Forrester Racing Heads used to do some of the nicest porting I had ever seen.Unfortunately Dale/Forrester is no longer doing headwork.Read up alot about head porting, get knowledgeable, and then ask your questions to whatever shops you have in mind.

You need to look and see if the sidewalls are just VAGUELY starting to wrinkle at whatever pressure you have them set to. This is when the car is sitting still. Then adjust from there.This will depend on tire sidewall, wheel size, car weight, etc.I've had best luck on my FWD at about...

There is no comparison between slicks and ANY radials.My car on the way home from the track was melting my 245's off in 3rd, and according to the logs was loosing traction at 130mph in 4th as well.On the track with slicks, I had ZERO traction issues.Plenty of clearance to turn, lock to...

Looks like the dyno numbers were made on the 60-1, but his best track times were done on the 67mm.http://dsmtimes.org/details.php?ID=1068

I believe Jeff had a 67mm on the car and not the 60-1 when he made the bigger power.

I just bogged my mid 500whp car to a 1.8 60' time this past weekend. This is on the 24.5 x 8.5 x 15 slicks.Definately has 1.7's in it.

Unless you have 800whp, those are way too big.

15" rims fit over big brakes as well. Don't know about ALL, but some of them do.If you use that search button, I'm sure you can find alot of posts on the subject.

No.Compression checks require a warm motor which involves at least a few minutes of run time.Tranny could likely seize up in this time.

11.9 @ 127 here with some issues. Still at low boost. Car has 200lbs to be removed as well as about 7-8 more psi of boost to run. Will go faster next time. :)

My junk went 11.9 @ 127 on 23psi and a cracked header at the shootout yesterday.2.0 60' time.Lots left in it.

Rau has confirmed his appearance and his 6-second timeslips. :)

I didn't say don't go driving on the streets with slicks for driving reasons..it's for safety reasons.I really doubt anyone would try to take a turn at speed with a set of slicks on at 10psi.Unless you are running tubes (and even then) you stand a very good chance of getting something in...

PLEASE DO NOT run slicks on the street.OMG

Temple of VTEC yo.

That was easily one of my top 5 favorite 1g's of all time. I can not believe you just totally trashed it like that.You know how many people would have killed for that chassis?:idiot:

The big question is why mine popped.Perfectly decked head and block, fairly safe tune, etc etc.Guess I'll find out in a day or two when the head comes off.

Cometic HP here.Let go at 18psi and c16. No knock.Roughly 1200 miles on it.
