Topic: Gringo's quest to 190mph in the 1/2 mile! (Read 25612 times)

Last year i took my car down to Shift-S3ctor's 1/2 mile event. Ended up going 182.33mph in my Integra with 0 areo work other than taping the headlights up.

Anyway after taping up the headlights i gained just shy of 3mph. So i thought holy shit i wonder how this car will do with some Aero work. Well i have been working on it and plan to go to the next Shift-S3ctor in April.

Here is the video of it before:

182mph Turbo Integra - English Racing - Shift-S3ctor - Airstrip Attack 4 - YouTube

Car Before:

As you can see with the tire size i run, the car sits quite high off the ground. so my goal was to get it as low to the ground as possible:

I have now done a front splitter/Air dam, Doing a full underbody/Flat bottom, did Hood Exit exhaust for weight savings/Downforce and will be doing a block off for the headlights and i also got some KIWI 5" Sideskirts!

The front splitter is about a 3/4" out, it is more of an air dam than anything. The lip i used, was a sweet $46 EBay lip that fit better than anything ive bought lol.

Got some Wilwood brakes, these fuckers should help stop lol.

Start of the underbody/flat bottom.

Rear diffuser will start from here:

Anyway, hoping the extra aero stuff and a little more downforce up front will help me get to the goal of 190mph in the 1/2!

How did you mount the under tray?

pretty sure its mounted to the bumper/lip, the to the side skirts...and some randomly placed hanger brackets down the center of the car, like off the rear swaybar mount...

For those extra few mph have you considered going with an aftermarket air filter or even a cold-air intake? If you go with a cold air kit, you will have to remove it when you go to the dealer. Good luck!

Very nice. How is the diffuser going to look like?

Also I would take off the rear wing, it's doubtful its doing something useful, if anything it would slow you down by unnecessary downforce on the back.

Is this you? TX2K14 - 888whp C6Z vs 742whp Integra

As if he will show. He doesn't go anywhere that someone can beat him

Looks good. Are you going to cut off some (ALOT) of air to the intercooler?

That was me yes.

While that was a raping and a half, sadly i do not think he was making the power he said. Rumor has it he was only making 620whp. The 300shot he claims he has probably would have been a good race but o well.

When we asked him how much power it was making, he said 888whp

Simply badass!

gringotegra · « **Reply #22 on:** March 24, 2014, 06:42:58 PM »

Thanks guys.

i will say, between the front splitter, hood exit exhaust and new R888's. This fuckin car hooks more power than i ever have in the past. 32ps in 4th gear, and 24 in 3rd. A full 750whp in 4th gear? fucking car rips lol. For doing that on a non drag radial tire that is nuts!

Few more pics:
