Videos of my Turbo Civic at the Drag Strip

[JackHerer]

hey guys. i said i'd get you some videos so here they are. first video is my 13.8 run...second run not so good...but trap speed was up there and i thought my burn-out was kinda cool :D

Mind you these are shitty shitty street tires...i guess you can tell by my lack of traction :(

Very nice! Some new tires will fix most of your traction problems.

wow I hear a CRAPLOAD of wheel hop on the 14.12 run...

definitely need stickier tires and some serious work stopping that engine from swinging back so badly...

Does the car have upgraded mounts and maybe a torque dampener?

[JackHerer]

i have the mount inserts in my car...too bad they're sitting on my passenger side seat! :'(

Will have them in soooon. Any of you guys want to swing by Street Dreams show in Detroit (Cobo Hall) this Saturday...my car will be there.

[Ksiadz]

I'll be there!!!

[mhx]

so any street races yet?

looks like a fun car..
i wish i had 4500$ laying around

[JackHerer]

i don't street race ;)

[Mad02Si]

If anybody was having doubt about a turbo watching that should help them decide, cause thats the first vid of our car turbo charged and performing, Makes me wish I had no bills and could spend 4500 bucks.

I agree with that, if i never spent 1 grand on rims, 2 grand on stereo system, 4hundred for exhaust, and about 2-3hundred on other junk on the EP, i would be almost there! :(

Very Nice EP...!!!!

[JackHerer]

I totally suggest Ultimate Racing. Bunch of cool guys that take a lot of pride in their work! when my car was at their shop getting turbo'd they bought me lunch on several occasions, and the owner even gave me his 'loaner' civic to drive around cuz this is my only car! aside from that...just hanging out there is quite a sight...they have all these pimped out cars there....and not one of them is N/A haha! all turbo'd. bad ass if you ask me. :)

[02SilverSiHB]

how much boost are you running? nice times man!

[JackHerer]

i'm running about 6-7 psi.

awsome! :)

[!@#$%]

good runs, but I thought the BOV would be a little louder than that? Why is it when VW's rev theirs or older MR2's its almost piercing?

[fishboy]

i hear sard makes a nice BOV.:)

[golferjn]

nice job. looked like fun

[JackHerer]

actually the hks ssqv bov is pretty loud in my car. from my understanding, the hks ssqv has the best design...period. can't beat pull-type bov's. they will never leak boost.

most stock turbo cars that have a bov installed can rev their shit and hear a loud bov because their turbo is so teenie weenie. so whenever i hear that...i laugh :D

[Dunrick]

Where does the turbo kick in on the rpm's?

yeah, I hear hks is damn good for that. Another thing that people need to realize is that the sound is not what matters, but the function. Sometimes these BOV's that are aimed at sound suck for function

[ADAMnQuickCIVIC]

thats what i'm talkin bout!
2 second drop off your ET at 6-7psi.
JRSC where you at...lmao!

[ssvr6]

What's better is I'm sure that he can go faster over time and with some better tires.

2.3 seconds maybe? :)


Steve

[Suk02Si]

your 60' is still at 2.3:(

get some tires and install those mounts!:D

[02SilverSiHB]

I just watch the vids finally...I was at work before.
Love how in the 14.1 vid you rip through 2nd for a bit :D

[civiquita]

i would like to know the same thing but on the rev hard

[ADAMnQuickCIVIC]

stupid question:
it seemed like you did that burnout in 1st, then 2nd gear.
are you still on the stock clutch?!
if not what clutch are you using.

[JackHerer]

my clutch was old and worn before i even put the turbo kit in. so i upgraded to an exedy clutch and flywheel. what difference that made. flywheel makes the car rev and boost up so much quicker.

nice...
got a link for the exedy stuff?
also, what did it cost ya?
i'm looking to do a clutch soon.
i dunno about the flywheel, usually a lightened flywheels is not reccomended for turbo applications...
makes the launch even more difficult...
what are your impressions w/ the clutch so far?
break-in? any slipping? pedal feel? any chatter? etc
thanks in advance!

yeah, I've heard the same thing about the flywheel with turbos. I guess if it isn't too light it can't hurt

:'( :'( :'(

not far off is my guess.

[JackHerer]

woah...i dunno about that dyno chart. jrsc must've had one crappy civic because my BONE stock civic made 138whp and 120 ft.lbs on the stock dyno run. something looks fishy :confused:

your guess is wrong.
JR says 14.7 w/ the SC.
thats a full second off (10 car lengths in the 1/4 mile), at the same boost level.
:o

very nice, is there any change i'd be able to take a look @ your car, i'm driving down to toronto soon from Ottawa and i really want to see it in person? could i just go to the shop and they'd call you or something?

[K-Series]

What RPM are you launching and what technique?

[ecsahs3]

On the 13.8 run I couldn't see the tree, but on the 14.2 run it looks like you faulted.

[02HatchSI]

sorry but what kind of kit is this... and where are you located??? this falls right in line with rev-hard and cn so i am intrested :)

[ATRIOT]

The kit is made by a Toronto Company called ultimate racing.

Check it out.

[2k2SiAutoXer]

well, since this was brought back from the dead-

Any updates on this car?

--Tom

[danoonez]

Yeah, I remember that video from way back in the day. Any updates on the reliability of the car. And I was also wondering if anybody else ever bought a turbo kit from the same company.

thanks a lot for the information... So I guess they have a shop in Californial as well??? I am intrested in knowing though if there is any flash on the ecu to give it more rpm's or is it running on the base redline???
