Truth, my Hondas always felt scetchy at speed when trying to go strait.

Yeah I do not like going over 100mph any of my Civics

Quick update guys:

First pass today, 19psi in 3/4/5 did 173.xx mph. Car was straight as an arrow and felt great.

Noticed my battery light came on at the end of the track, came back around and alt belt was still on. Diagnosed it Alt fucked. Called around every auto parts store locally. Nobody had any integra Alt's in stock. Bought a 92 civic alt and switched out the electronics to mine and it was good.

Went out next pass a couple hours later... It was a hot day today, 85 deg+... 8psi 1st, 15psi 2nd, 20 3rd, 26 in 4/5th.. crossed the traps at 9800 in 5th and went 184.57mph.

Car feels a shit ton more stable than it used to. Aero Deff helped.

Going to raise rev limit to 10,200 and do a run in the morning..I will keep boost settings the same as they are now and see what it does, then turn it up

A little quick data for ya, IAT's were 116 beginning of pull, 102 at end. ECT 194.7 at start, 190.1 at end. 18 secs of 100% TPS.. 6 sec pull in 5th gear! lol.

Fucking so close, keep those updates rolling in if you can

DraginX · « **Reply #69 on:** April 20, 2014, 08:47:14 PM »

Sorry no more updates on his FB

n/a mike · « **Reply #70 on:** April 20, 2014, 09:32:23 PM »

He just accepted my friend request
I'm interested to see what the final speed was

DraginX · « **Reply #71 on:** April 20, 2014, 10:15:14 PM »

Me too, I hope he hits his 190 MPH goal. Guess he took his wing off but made for a sketchy ride. Didn't post a speed.

turbohf · « **Reply #72 on:** April 20, 2014, 10:35:17 PM »

it needs ITR wing... the guys over on the ITR forum gave me soooo much shit for me removing mine off my 97ITR. saying it helped 'at speed'... worth a shot...

oh and cuz ITR parts make everything faster

Yeah, it's not a fashion piece it's actually functional.
Itr would probably help more, but might slow him down in the top end
I think he might need bigger tires or gear changes.

i have a S80 non-vtec trans i plan on parting out when i get some time... lmk.

So I just checked out English's Facebook page. Here one of there quotes from yesterday.....

Day 1 recap: No Bisi, Myles loses an alternator on first pass. After finding a replacement went on his second and last pass of the day at 184.5 landing him the first place trophy in FWD class.

And another from today.
Myles/Integra - first place fwd class both days w/ a new best of 187.34

robus · « **Reply #76 on:** April 21, 2014, 10:00:18 AM »

Wow! 10,200 rpm limit, darn. Needs bigger wheels.
Would closing up the rear wheelwells be of any help?

ratcityrex · « **Reply #77 on:** April 21, 2014, 11:28:40 AM »

Needs pore power....

sewell94 · « **Reply #78 on:** April 21, 2014, 04:30:00 PM »

So ~5more mph from the aero? Any other changes?

gringotegra · « **Reply #79 on:** April 21, 2014, 06:07:34 PM »

Man what a fucin awesome weekend. I got 3 runs all over my last 182.33 pass in October.

I would say the Aero was worth a Solid 4-5mph.. Not only that but the car is so much more stable going down the track. I am 100% happy with this weekends results.

Is there a 190mph pull in the car? YES! If i would have turned it up to 31-32psi in 4/5th gear i fully believe it would have done it. When i went 184 on Saturday i left the boost settings just like that for the next day, and ran in the morning when it was in the 70's and went 187 (also upped the rev limiter to 10200rpm, so that could have been it too)

I decided to take my stock GSR wing off after that... Yeah big mistake. lol.. I upped the boost 2% but it got so much warmer i actually lost 1 psi lol. Anyway pass seemed good, until i hit the brakes. People told me it looked like the back locked up an i went sideways at about 170 or so! Got off the brakes, straightened it out then got back on them and it went sideways again! I was able to recover once again and get back on them. Fuck it was hard to keep it straight i will tell you that.... Thankfully it all worked out and i didn't spin out and im still here! Still went 185mph on that pass.

Needless to say, the Integra once again surprised the hell out of everyone and turned heads like no other.

Dead hooked all of 28psi in 4th gear on a fuckin 225! Going to have a video up later of the Speedo/Tach (its pretty awesome) lol.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #80 on:** April 21, 2014, 06:10:28 PM »

Fuck......crazy. glad you didn't wreck at those speeds.

gringotegra · « **Reply #81 on:** April 21, 2014, 06:21:34 PM »

Yeah tell me about it man!

Thats me on the left.. Waiting for Spiker hair gel jokes!

Being a ricer in the parking lot the night before the event.

robus · « **Reply #88 on:** April 23, 2014, 08:33:05 AM »

Wow! it gets to 180s so fast, I can't imagine it needs any more boostâ€”more likely just bigger tyres or gearing, and it should ease to 190 like butter, imo.

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #89 on:** April 23, 2014, 12:34:33 PM »

I'm thinking the same thing. It accelerates hard even above 150mph. I think gearing is your only issue. Tire size is probably the easiest adjustment of that
