My 91 DSM is in major mechanical review right now....so I was out racing my dads 93 Honda Accord automatic 2 door SE...I was in Greenwood, IN on Saturday night, and my buddy was in the car and we were waiting for green next to this 00 neon that this chick was driving...All of a sudden, we hear a car with a fart can revving his engine and letting his BOV go wild...We pull of the light in first, and take it to redline...the neon is already at least 2 car lengths back...the turbo integra is about 3 car lengths ahead though...2nd comes in with the punch, and the integra still has about 3 car lengths, but were pulling on him...I then pop it into 3rd at redline, and I start pulling hard on him, while I still hear his fart can trying to disperse all the exhaust...by 5,800RPM's, I have the nose of my car over him...when I finally hit redline, I have about 1 car length on him...I shift into 4th, and he is just headlights in my mirror...He was REALLY shitty! I end up hitting about 120 on US31 South heading North...I let off then because I dont know what speed my dad's stocker tires can handle, after all, the whole car is stock except for my modified throttle body...What I did to the throttle body was let it travel a bit more...Stock...the throttle plate has a bar that the cable pulley hits at 85% open...it wouldn't let you go past...I, on the other hand, bent that little stop bar back so that it could go to 100% of its throw, or so the butterfly plate is level...the CEL comes on now when the pedal is mashed to the floor, but the car is a lot faster at full throttle...so anyways, the guy pulls up at the next light and starts talking shit, which isn't unusual for Honda guys, because they think thier cars are fast...His buddy is all like "whats so funny" because my buddy and I are just dying of laughter...and my buddy is just like.."I am laughing at how slow his dad's car is"(talking about me) and then he said "I am also laughing because you wasted $4,000 plus dollars on a turbo kit and you just got wasted by this piece of shit which cost about $4,000..." and we just started laughing as hard as we could...the guy was really shitty and started burning out...and we just laughed and pulled about a bus length on him when we got the green cause his tires were all hot and had no traction since he burned out...then we hopped on 465 for a fun little 115MPH drive back to the NE side of Indy...

thats my highlighted race for the next month or so untill I get my baby back on the road..then its all hell from there!

Thats what I'm saying...

Thats exactly what I was thinking, but you could hear that he was still hard on the gas, because he was still accelerating hard...I am guessing he either A) Missed the shift from 2-3, B) let off somewhat, or C) his wastegate or BOV got stuck open...It didn't sound like he let off at all except to shift, but even then, he slightly power shifted...anyways, I thought it was a good kill...

Sounds like he let off early or shifted into a higher gear and let it roll off.

Unless that turbo itr was running on 3 cylinders, you wouldn't beat it.
I agree. Even without a turbo, those things run high 14s, and I'm just *assuming* your Accord is nowhere near that quick, so he obviously wasn't racing.

Ok...

I'm sure that I know when I hear a Honda at WOT, because I have owned my performance shop for more than 2 years, and I have been around a lot of Hondas...and his Integra was running at WOT when I passed him...sorry to sound like a cocky ass biotch, but I whupped his ass...and he was trying hard...

Haha, riiiiight....

Why stop with racing and beating a turbo ITR? Why not race some blown V8s and beat them too, or how about taking on some 1000cc sport bikes....bet you'd smoke them too.

Uh, maybe I missed something. Tires get stickier when they are hot, allowing for more traction. I guess you haven't learned that in your 2 years as a shop owner.
 
last week i seen a type r with a big garret turbo set up run a 13 flat, it looked good and fast but he new what he was doing and had a lot of money under the hood im sure, but i wouldnt doubt it if some stupid kid that didnt no anything about cars and was rich and bought a turbo and put it on his honda and it ran slow. turbo kits are going to make any car fast unless you no what your doing with them and have the supporting mods. this guy obviously didnt , i dont find it hard to believe a honda kid has a slow turbo set up. ive seen dsms with huge garrett turbos, external wastegates and so on , car looks ten times fast than my stock big 16g bolt on turbo but yet they find a way to be in the high 14s low 15s.

If you can't keep your own thread clean, there's no reason for me to leave it open.
