revs per minute

lol so yea. this is for the dragsters out there. where you launching at? i got a 90' honda dx hatch. with the junk motor>62 hp. and im doin at less than 3000. around 25 to 28. just curious on where everyone launches at. input is appreciated.. lol

10k

i lunch at 12pm during the weekdays...

i would think every car woud be different depending on FWD, RWD and AWD. slicks, or street tires. but in my car i lauch at about 2k with all seasons

well usually it's the tranny + power in the car.

like with the dx tranny with the d15b2 id put it a little higher around 3500 and you would launch a little better.. but with my a6 with the si tranny i like putting it around 3500 - 4000k it also depends on air pressure,suspension,tire type. and a whole lot of different variables like street/strip.

i try to launch at 4 1/2 on a up note or i'll bogg.

ohh btw isn't your car fucked up? dont be launching on 3 cyclendor.

mine or his? lol.. mine is fine lol.. i dont know about his.. but i can show him how to make that d15 run a little better and i could find out why it's only running on 3 cylinders lol..


on my old dohc zc i had to launch it around 4500 too.

he broke half a spark plug off in one cylendor.

oh.. hahahahaa i forgot about that lol..

depending on the weather. if it's cold, i launch at a higher RPM vs hot.

but generally tire pressure at 20-25psi on street tires.

cold day, i'll preload and build up boost and then launch at 3500...on a hot day, i'll launch at 3000.

thought mines is a RWD turbo and i got somore regular Fuzion HRI ( they warm up loose traction fast.) usually the fastest time will be eitehr my 2nd or third run...so i cant' really get consistent times..
best i ever did was 14.78

I haven't really tried, but I think my best bet would be around 3k, any more and I get too much wheelspin...

lol my car is fine now. it works again. just waiting for another swap. if i go any higher my wheels wont grip. i think theyre too big.. anyways. i have the d15b1 right now with the gen 4 si tranny. should i be launching higher? i feel that the higher it goes the more the wheels will spin til it actually grips.. iono. ive been trying with this motor but its not as strong as the b2 i had before i broke it lol. even then. with that much damage to the old motor it still had more power than the b1. its cool tho just trying to have some fun with this one before the next one.

usually with the larger tire more diameter of wheel means you would need more power to spin it..


how big are your tires and what kind of tire? cause in my old car before i swapped the b2 for the dohc zc i had 13s on it.. with a dx tranny.. i usually put it at 3500 and it did a damn good job at launching. if your using the si tranny id put it at 3500 and lower the tire pressure around 25-30psi and see what it does.. but if your not running slicks there isnt any point of doing a burn out.. just drive around the water box so you dont have any water on the tires.. and launch it like that.

donuts with 195 60 r15 tires i think? im too lazy to check. these are my temporary til i get a good set of tires on my gen 3 si's. they look huge on my car right now. thanks ill try that some thime this week.

exactly what does it do when you launch it.. does it just spin or does the rpms drop then kick back up?

I dont launch

well i tried 3000 last night and it hella spun. wen i try it at 25 the rpm drops just a lil . but more than the other motor.

where you at in stockton cause i can show ya.. some things in person lol

lol yea. everywhere. i work in southside. sleep in northside. and play in between.

lol i live in southside i think.. over here near charter way.. if you ever need help get on aim and just hit me up..
