sunday 09/07 , in Denver , CO , a guy had a 15.9 second with a GReddy turbo on it . I haven't got there on time so I haven't seen him launch , but I do believe it , because this altitude SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
I think he was running on his 18" 5Zigen FN01RC with parada tires on , but i'm now quite sure. Anyway , pretty sucky considering what some people can do on lower altitudes , but better than my stock :D

Maybe you missed the part Denver , Co , Mile High City ?

15.9 is a really bad time but u got to think with 18's u cant get grip for shit... i saw a 750 hp supra run a 14.4 because he had 18's on it... you cant expect to go ne where if all your doing is spinning the tires... what was his trap speed that probably was up there....

yea, but would the altitude affect the time that much?? i mean i understand 18's slowing you down but not so much where u lose to stock time w/a turbo. that's just kinda odd...

Did you read the part that says GREDDY turbo??? If he's drivin a Si, he's only gettin 50whp from Greddy's kit... not to mention the altitude problem.... He probably ran 17.5 stock at that altitude....

The Cybernation stage I kit i makin approx 120whp additional (steve dyno'd at 262whp).

At Bandi the best I could run in my stock 2002 S2000 was 15.731 and that was dropping the clutch at 6,500 RPM. That translates into a high 14 second quarter at sea level.

The new Greddy turbo for the EP3 comes without an intercooler. At sea level it sounds like this EP3 has a low 15 second 1/4 or high 14 second 1/4 mile which is not bad for a civic. As Fast or Faster than the S2000. The intercooler will add another 50 hp to the wheels. That should translate into low 14's. I think it is Ernesto with the new Turbo. Over the past month I have been speaking with Ben at Racing Trenz and he said they have only rcvd and installed one turbo on an EP3. Rev Hard also makes turbo's for the EP3 but they are not street legal, and require alot of under hood modifications, although lots of HP. I have heard that there customer service is not that great. There is also cybernation.

After alot of thought and deliberation I ordered my Greddy Turbo from Trenz yesterday. It should be in by early Oct. and installed by 10/11. I have been busy shopping online for a pillar pod and gauges today. I like Auto meter's colbalt gauges. I have also been looking at blow off valves and decided on the Type S from Greddy. I can't wait. I will install the intercooler this spring or late winter.

i just got my greddy kit installed yesterday. it runs like shit, im not happy w/ it at all. the e manage is throwing a code.i even talked to kenji at greddy he told us to try different things w/ the wiring but still nothing. greddy is sending me a new e manage. in my opinion i would go w/ someone else like cybernation

lol! don't worry man, get some better tires, I can tell by the trap you can get a better time than that, not too mention your 60ft sucked

Really this is not to bad for no intercooler. I had the S2000 up there in June before I sold it and here were the best stock results.

R/T - .458
60' - 2.326
330 - 6.720
1/8 - 10.208
MPH - 70.86
1000 - 13.214
1/4 - 15.731
MPH - 90.73

High altitude sucks. But it is good to know that you can pull up to any stock S2000 and take them. That would make them think. :D I know that after installing the greddy the Civic is faster than the S.

Oh thank-you great one!!

I hope so... Could you bless me with a pair of sticky tires for track day?? My balding hankook's make me waver in my beliefs!

lol...the way you phrased that post just reminded me of star wars. Dont ask. Yeah, Hanooks are definately not grippy tires, I would know, I wrecekd my car cause of em.

Cant wait for the showdown of the turbo hatches. Maybe we could setup some kind of brackets for all us N/A eps to add a litte competitive side to the day. That would be fun as hell.

esmith13

11-06-2003, 03:18 PM

DUDE!!! That idea ROCKS!!!! Do you know how to do that?? I will bring pen and paper... OOOOH, no - wait, I'll bring my laptop and we can track it all in exel!! THIS IS GONNA ROCK!!! :D

Eric

P.S.: I did say it with starwars as the intent originally, I just never expected a response like that ;)

fsugatorbait

11-06-2003, 03:31 PM

E,
all we gotta do is setup in pairs, depending on the # of cars we could have two brackets. Depending on the # of runs we could squeeze in either have each heat determined by one race or best of 3, winner moves on. hahaha, this is gonna be some shit :D.

Something like this, depending on how many cars, we could add a second set and have the winner of each bracket square off

It's bad enough I can't launch without melting my clutch, but now your gonna have a secret weapon(s)???

WTF!! I'm screwed :)

Here's my best two runs of the night:

BEST RUN .............. 2ND BEST RUN
R/T: .579 .............. .699
60 ft : 2.379 .............. 2.428
330: 6.364 .............. 6.443
1/8: 9.420 .............. 9.514
MPH: 80.5 .............. 80.34
990: 11.958 .............. 12.058
1/4: 14.198 .............. 14.298
MPH: 104.74 .............. 104.10

:( ... I spun wheels through the first two gears almost EVERY RUN. The only 2 runs I did that I backed off enough to link up in 1st or 2nd gear were 15sec runs, cause I couldn't catch up after coming off the throttle. MIND YOU when I was spinning through 1st and 2nd, it was at only 1/4 throttle...

That bastard surfsi ran two 13.8's and a 13.9.... Secret weapon??... bastard had Anziens on his front wheels :mad: :mad: :mad:

you are definitely in the 13's it's just your 60ft and you were on 17's right? not bad man, I'm going to update the 1/4 time list on the At the Strip part of the forum ;)

not bad times, just get some better shoes and you should be seeing 13's. how was your clutch on the runs, much slippage?

damn! that's right, he had a stock clutch :eek: can't wait till he gets better tires and new clutch/pressure plate.

11-15-2003, 08:54 PM

Easy Eric just because you couldn't keep up doesn't mean you have to get all sour Ha-Ha. Just kidding, oh and by the way good stratagey on the BS on the lights you should be ashamed of yourself lying and telling me that there was 2 green lights, and that's the only reason I pulled a mid 14.

esmith13

11-15-2003, 09:47 PM

First off I corrected myself and said two sets of WHITE lights before we ran. Touchy Touchy... Did you even here me tell anyone I beat you the first run? No... You kicked my ass fair and square. And I was the first one to congratulate you and shake the hand of a 13 sec EP owner... Your the one acting sour... The signs of a poor winner. ;)

2k2SiAutoXer,

Clutch did not slip AT ALL. I just freespun the first two gears due to shitty shoes. Now, when I have tires that can handle dumping the clutch, I'm guessin it'll start to slip... but as of now it seems the clutch can hold more than the tires can...

All runs were done feathering out the clutch from 2000-2500 rpms. I played with the amount of feathering and how much throttle (1/4 throttle through 1st and 2nd on average) and just couldn't get traction like Rob (surfsi) did.

The only turbo to run at the track so far was Jack Herrer (Sp?) IIRC, and he ran a 13.8 with mad wheel spin.

I'll be at the track in about a month with mine. It's getting a new clutch installed that will need to be correctly broken in first.

Steve
look guys i have revhard turbo kit on my ep and i run 13.2 you guy need to get some good tires... oh yeah you guy need lsd for a good launch
