ran a 15.130 @ 88.53mph today.

my previous best was a 15.259 @ 87.08mph

the 15.2 was run at night, with 1/4 tank of gas, and the exhaust ended at the resonator.


the 15.1 was run with full tank of gas, full exhaust, at 2:30 in the afternoon (high 80s weather).


my butt dyno lied. the car didn't feel any different with the ZC cams (vs the D16A1 cams), but the timeslip disagrees.

 

spray it.

 

Not bad for a car built for AutoX

 

you got a bit of a better top end......are you running a zc intake manifold also? my best was a 14.9 @ 91 m.p.h.......similar set up as you but with some mild head porting in a 3g civic (weighed in at about 1850 lbs. with 1/4 tank of gas and roll cage).....btw...do you autocross the crx?

 

not yet. i have some part-throttle issues to work out.

im using the D16A1 mani.

it's a later D16A1 (88+, black top).

the 'feel' of the car hadn't changed except for 6000-7000rpm. the torque doesn't fall off as much.

the car is not aerodynamically tip-top as it is plagued from the 1g CRX "broken header panel" syndrome. which i plan on fixing. the CRX has just taken a major back burner (indefinitely), for the time being as i focus on my doctoral studies.

 

congrats shawn. glad to hear that the cams helped.
we still need to get together and solve that part throttle issue.
and BTW...i have a used but intact header panel set aside for you.

 

awesome. we can arrange those things in the next few days.


crap, i forgot to grab that timing belt p/n for ya today. today was the first chance i had to be near the car during daylight.

ill try to remember to grab it 2morrow before work.

 

trust me id know bout this (ive had 3 of them )how are those fenders? heh, love those 1gs to death. BTW......you post on redpepper?

 

yeah, ive been on rpr for over 3 and a half years (i got the crx in early 2002). i have one of their panhard bars in my crx.

one of the fenders was broken and has been replaced. the other now has a big crack.
