it's not impossible. we all know that, cause they all watched me do it in a car that was fullweight with ALOT less mods then what most of the current LT1 guys have, AND still going quicker. so far the only guy that is faster is a supercharged car within 2 tenths of what i ran with JUST a cam(and a hotcam to boot) and bolt ons.

see formy... you are right on par.... you car is right where it should be, and could get better with some right alterations.

if there is a 383 in the car... it better be in the 11's IMHO. unless it's setup for a huge shot and you are running a motor pass

this is only MY opinion. doesn't have to be fact or anything... just what i see and believe and the capabilities of the cars from being around them for the past 7-8 years

So a 383 should hit 11's on street tires? If it's that simple why isn't there more LT1's hitting 11s? I know I'm not the only one with a stroker motor in an LT1 in Wisconsin.

why are you going to the track on street tires? what a waste of time. that and you are tearing up the track for the rest of us.

and there are PLENTY in the 11's. they just know what they are doing. and the sad thing is you are right, you aren't the only one in WI w/ a stroker. but it seems they are still all slower than the cam only car.

if i wasn't so deeply involved with my Z's future, i WOULD build a bolt on Lt1 car and whoop all your asses. it's so sad....

Again, sorry Tom.

There are kits/pieces available. I'm sure you could build something for it. To build a log style manifold wouldn't be all that hard. just time and energy and some practice. got to find a good turbo and then the rest is just welding up some pipe. just would take some time and looking at the engine bay to see where everything might fit.

I'm not even gonna bother running slicks til I get the 12 bolt next year. It wasn't worth it to me to even risk having the car not driveable if it did happen to go out from running on slicks. And you know I run on street tires because you wanted to race me for money earlier this year. Glad to know I'm the only one that runs on street tires and that I'm ruining it for everyone else. You wanna talk more about this start a new thread I don't wanna take any more fun away from the Honda talk.

Well i was thinking about a wet 75 shot or so... im not even sure what kinda power levels a completley stock D17-1A can handle... I dont htink they even have tuning programs avail?

But ive seen a few claims on 7thgencivic and proof of guys going high 15's stock on a 01+ LX and about the same to slightly slower with 01+ Ex's. You would think the EX with the 15 more hp and the vtec would slightly edge the non vtec LX out, but i guess the LX has a better 1st gear and a lower final drive ratio where the EX has a taller final drive only.

Just a high 14 sec daily driver on the spray is all you need really for the majority of stuff on hwy... its terrible i stalk so much other really ricey hondas and toyotas with this thing its funny as hell!! It effectivley smacks around celica GT's not GT-S's though and it runs neck and neck with ecotec cavaliers that are stock and runs with stock 99-00 civic Si's from a 60-100 punch. so i guess this motor aint so much of a turd after all...

Your about 3 months to late you could have had my sf turbo kit for cheep but I would check out 7thgencivic.com for any info on the turbo kits.

There are a few different ones but I would pick up a used SF kit if you can (stafford fabricaion). there is also the dezoid kit but that’s 3g+. there is a cheaper one I cant remember the name but they used a smaller turbo and the piping actually goes under the body so if you hit a speed bump ect your done.

turbos for the ex will work with your car btw all you need to do is change the down pipe I believe.

As for the engine goes on how much psi it can take stock ect lots of people are running up to 8psi with stock internals. The rsx injectors are a direct fit I believe for more fuel or there are a few return fuel line conversion kits now but thows are 1g+. Many people are just going the rex injectors and an inline fuel pump.

As for n2o I would check out the faq on the FI section on the 7th gen website since i never had to work with that i cant help you there.

if you decide that the turbos to much for you and the n2o does not put out enough hp for ya do not go with bolt ons they are a waste. people have actualy lost hp on the d17 with a intake new headers. i believe the most someone got was like 6hp with both and that’s going to run you about 600 bucks plus.

there are a whole bunch of tuning programs avalible for the d17 just go to thows forums and search.


if you need any help finding some used kits for a lot less just pm me of if you need more info ect.

Yeah i know what you mean there!, i had an AEM intake on it for a bit, it seemed to rev quicker, that was it, i put the stock intake back on, even the large silencer box over top of the trans, and it felt much stronger, and 0-80 wasnt like pulling teeth anymore and it felt torquier after each shift too.

Yeah , the cheapest thing possible is what im looking for, something that will bolt on in a day, i can take care of the rest with tuning.. etc..

If you know of a program avail to do this: adjust wide open power enrichment, bump ignition timing throughout the rpm range.

This is what i want to do specifically. these adjustments alone are enough to make the car have a bit more snot for my rice encounters, its only got a 9.5:1 CR so it can stand some timing.
