what would happen if i raced this kid with a 95 integra it has the 1.8 vtech, and also has a CAI, and also a GSR tranny... thats all the kid says it has i dont believe it till i see it because this other kid who set this up wants to see my car get smoked because i smoked his piece of **** CRX a while back. i have the following, flowtech headers, dual 2 1/4 inch pipes, Accel ignition, and i removed the A/C and the smog pump pulleys, i know that is not much but its enough right now, im working on getting the Flow tech Y pipe and a cam that will be in before i race him. then the exhaust will be 3 1/2 to a flow master 50 series muffler. thats all for now, tell me what i think.

 

If you get a cam you'll take him. Without the cam it's going to be a mighty slow race to the 16s somewhere.

 

so do i have to change out the lifters if i get the cam?

 

First of all there is no "H" in VTEC.

Second, there were only two Integras with VTEC. 1) The GSR. 2) The Type-R. No one with a Type R would brag about having a GSR tranny.

Third, a CAI on that car might gain him all of 3 hp at the wheels.

Finally, it sounds like he knows as little about his car as you do. If you can run in the 15's it should be a good race.


An LS (non-vtec) Integra should be a mid to high 15 second car.

 

You don't have to, but myself and most on here will recommend that you do. You can usually just get your cam in a kit with lifters and have it all taken care of.

What are the specs on this cam?

A cam will really wake your motor up if you've got an aftermarket intake manifold to match your headers. The biggest limiting factor on your car is the fact that it's an 84 LG4, so it's got the dished pistons. If you had a newer LG4 with flat-tops your compression would be above 9.0-1 which would help.

Your car should already be in the high 15s. I had a buddy who did most of the same mods to his 80-something Monte Carlo with an LG4 and hit a 15.9 using a non CC carb with a CC distributer (and thus getting NO timing advance ) with a TH-350 trans. Your car is heavier than a G-body, but you've got a tranny with a much better first gear and unless you've ditched your CC Q-jet, your ignition advance should be working properly. So you might be able to win this as-is.

You should just take it to the track and get a timeslip. When you know what your car runs, it makes the guesswork a lot easier.

 

the ls cant be that fast. i raced a ls integra at the drag strip a couple weeks back with my 4.6l grand marquis and i ran a 16.6 and beat him.

 

I may get in trouble posting this...... But you should know what your up against. Don't underestimate the v-tec. Watch this video
Video - VTEC BABY

 

1. GSR and Type-r teggys arent that bad. They will put up a fight with a 305. With a nice turbo, theyre monsters.

2. No honda tuner that knows how to tune goes around bragging about their vtec. They know kids that dont know what theyre doing overrate them. Its sad that they get stuck with the stereo type just because they have a vtec under their hood.

 

You should get into trouble for posting that video. It's called VTEC, says I <3 my Honda in the begining, yet I saw a 240sx, two Focuses, three Cavaliers, an Impreza, and an Elante; none of which are Honda. Terrible video. I've seen great videos trashing on ricers, but that certainly wasn't one of them.

If you want to see a good anti-***** video, search for that one that was posted on here last year with the Austin Powers theme song.

 

wow, i even get on ppl about calling it vtech and i did it myself

 

I noticed that but didn't say anything.

 

That video doest really rip on v-tec. except for the opening credits. I think the song is quite serious.. I saw that there was all kinds of cars that were not v-tec... It was funny though, the lyrics are great... I do respect the technology, and i think pulling 240 HP out of a N.A 4 cylinder is amazing (S2000)
I apologize if i offended anyonone (stu)

 

What about the stereo type us third-gen guys get???? Its always good to have a sense of humor about it... Besides, V-tec is more respected than a 305 now adays...
lighten up guys, its fun to tease eachother

 

I wasn't offended. Promise.

 

Teasing is good, like when i call my friends stang a 5 point slow. The post wasnt all about you, its just most ppl think anyone with a vtec doesnt have a fast car or knows anything about cars.

I do enjoy the camaro/trans am mu||et and red-neck stereotype. Its cool tho b.c not only do some import guys like my car, but red-necks give me thumbs up all the time.

 

there aint nothing wrong with the preferance people like on vehicles, if it was strickly you could only own a V-Tec, then people would start trying to build something new, thats how it always is, same with the 305/350 chevy... thats the world, thats the car buisness... and besides.. I HAD A ****** ONCE!!!!
i was young
anywho.. stu-import guy.. and he loves them
urban- 3rd gen guy and loves them... along with alot of other people
but no the cam is urban correct me if im wrong.. .052 on lift, and 218/228
thats what it is... anythoughts, yes im changing lifters

 

off the top of my head i think those are the specs correct.

Also another one to consider would be the XR270HR. It's a 218/224 on a 110 LSA, good for a carbureted motor.

There are lots of good cams to choose from. The hotcam is a particularly good one because that package has everything in it you'll need to install that cam properly.

 

If that was referring to me, i wasn't arguing that ppl shouldnt not like v-tecs. Its just the fact everytime the word honda or import comes up, ppl start making fun of honda owners because they think their v-tec is the best thing on earth. I was saying that they dont think its the best thing on earth. Just like we all dont have ******s, well most of us j/k with u.

 

nah man cool off, that wasnt a referance to you at all, and i know i got a crappy car its all good and gravy

 

if you want to see some good movies ripping on r*ce watch these.

street racing chronicles

 

There's no dash ("-") in VTEC either.

 

Stu you're the official correct spelling of Vtec ****.

 

If you are ever in doubt, just remember that it's an accronym and stands for something, just like IROC.

VTEC = Variable Timing Electronic lift Control

IROC = Dale Ernhart

See how easy it is?

 

all hail stu, king of accronyms!!!!!

 

A correction, perhaps?

IROC = I Relish Old Cars?

I love IROCs though. And ironically enough, old cars.

 

I almost choked on my ramen noodles when i read that

 

ramen noodles, the dinner of champions!!!! i love them things
i almost swallowed my dip... of copenhagen... ooo that wouldve been bad

 

when I read that My mul*et stood straight up .

 

Italian Retard Out Cruising?

I took a picture of a pink Third Gen last night with my cell phone. I don't feel like uploading it though. Also, on the way back from my parents house I drove by the house I grew up in and there was a house with a big field for a yard. There were FIVE Third gens parked like in a semi circle. Looked like a person car show or something. If it were in a parking lot, each car would have been about three space apart just to give you an idea of how they were spaced. I guess if you're going to have old cars in your yard, they might as well be clean show cars.

 

After reading some of the more intelligent "street races" on here involving heavy traffic, maybe it should be:

I Recklessly Outmaneuver Civics

 

V-TECH!!! V-TECH!!!! V-TECH!!!!

 

stu aint gonna like that

 

He must have been talking about the cordless phone.

 

That IS one good comeback for the "I can't spell VTEC" syndrome.

 

why sure.. hey stu, that kid put header and cat backs on.. the kid then insisted we raced this weekend... i told him in not ****in dumb kid, i dont go out racing a broken car... my cars exhaust is collapsed after the header on the driver side... its really killing my throttle..

 

May i ask how did it collapse? Ive never heard of that.

Good move on your part for not racing when your car is hurt

 

it collapes because i hit a wrong part in the road at 125 mph going to the job site.. its custom exhaust... so it hangs a bit.. its not right next to the header its a good 2 feet away, but i still cant floor it.. it falls on its face
it could also be vacumm but i dont want to believe that yet

 

If it is seperated and you have true dual exhaust and one is going open to the air much sooner than the other one you could have some idling issues as well.

 

nah not so much idiling... just full throtle... so its either my exhaust or i have a vacum leak... im bound to find it here soon after i get it all fixed and such

 

Oh ok, so it was smashed. For some reason I was getting the image of it just collapsing, like when you suck in on an empty drink bottle.

 

yeah, i know it seems, that when your going fast and hit the concrete really hard it tends to smash in the exhaust pipes....hmmm =)

 

125 on a road that you don't know that well genius

 

no i knew it well, i just didnt know it well with the headers... i threw the headers on and forgot how much lower the exhaust sat compared to the OEM. so yes i was a idiot but i knew the road well enough to go that fast.. i knew the little areas where i should keep a good speed of 65.. and where to go 125.. however i did not know where the exhaust was going to hit

Z228 where do you live in iowa?

 

o read it wrong i thought you said going threw a job sight not going to a job sight.

PS what side of Iowa are you from i am from the east side of Iowa

 

i am in des moines area... so in the middle of no where... ha ha.. or a corn field if you please

 

I wanted to post these in the fastest import thread (this is NOT the fastest import I know of) but it got closed and this one says "Integra."
