hey yall
i was just wandering i ran a 17 2 in the quarter and all i had done was was a short ram intake
now i went to a injin cai and i got rrm header testpipe intake manifold the greddy cat back exhaust with a b&m short through shifter apexi safc and a set of super lightweight 17 rims with 215 40 r 17 falcon racing tires

i can leave the line at 2gs and not spin a tire im hoping to drop into the low 16 at nopi this year but i need to get it dinoed and tuned first anyone know where i can get that done at perferably somewhere close to central mo around st. louis


oh and does anyone make a disc brake conversion for our rear drum brakes yet or am i gonna have to frankinstein it from an evo

 

a bit OT, but you'd have a better chance converting rear discs from a ralliart.

don't forget to post back to this thread after you get dyno'd.

 

well eather way i need to upgrade them they dont work at all to my advantage in the racing i do everytime i slow down too fast they lock up


anyway i am still looking for some help with my dyno tuning anyone know of a place

 

I know this is a bit OT but...ive been trying to make a comparison between our beloved lancers and the Civic Si. If they race, by numbers it doesnt really seems so different. Heres a post i found from other sites (no idea if this is allowed but please let me know if it isnt)...he's got a 99 Civic SI and got Cam gears, Intake, all the NA mods.


99 CIVIC SI Posted:

Yesterday King Motorsports put on a dyno day at CJ Motorsports in West Chicago and I made the trip for some more Hondata tuning. Last week the car went to King for some street tuning so all I needed to do was tune the top end.

I managed to put down 185whp and 130 ft/lbs of torque. Not to bad for my setup. I was not able to mess around with my cam gears much because the cam gear bolts were starting to get stripped out so I did not want to risk messing them up on the dyno. I’m going to replace them with some better bolts and make a trip back to the local dyno in Madison. So I think I can dial in a few more HP next time out. Over all I’m very happy with the tuning King did for me. The car is very responsive at part throttle and rips up top!!! Here is a shot of my chart.

 

Man i only wish we could get the lancer to 9k!

 

what do you mean? rpm?

 

the rpm's.... we can't rev our engine that high.. be sweet if we could

 

k Ohh yeah it would... man could you imagine the possibilities if we could go to 9k rpm's on the lancer... under boost!! WOW

 

so what do y'all think of this numbers?

 

torque sucks but the hp is nice... he's really a top end car with that setup.

 

so can we smoke him off the line?

 

he'd beat a stock lancer for sure. Even a well moded NA would have a tough time as his hp/tq is higher than most na's. After the line he'll pull on an na lancer big time. If you could get a well moded lancer on a short street you may have a chance to win but if it is anything over 2 tenths of a mile i'd say he'd win.

 

hey im still waiting on a reply about a place to dyno around st. louis missouri or surrounding areas and does anyone know hom much a dyno tune costs oh and as far as civics go i got a buddy thats got a 02 thats got exhaust cai and a header and something done to the ignition not sure what oh and he also has a vafc and we have raced many times and i always beat him by at least 2 if not 3 cars and since i got my new rubber i hook up better so i bet i would beat him eaver better now so i dont know what else that other civic has but i would think that i would be able to keep up if not beet him too oh and the motor in my buddies civic is the 1.6 dohc vetec so not sure ut he knows how to drive it to its kind of funny i give him **** about it all the time but really i need to find a dyno place close and ballpark figures on the cost thanks yall

 

most dyno's charge 80-100 bucks and hour for tuning. This includes all your dyno pull's etc. As for someplace close i can't help you there. Try a yellow pages search for dyno's?

 

EDIT - already covered in the thread.
