What times are u H22's guys running

[Keeper1343]

Cause i think something is wrong with my motor for it not to outrun a RSX type S with I/H/E. I just had the swap done and me and my buddies RSX are dead even. Just wondering what u guys are running... o and it is in a EG coupe.

you should be between low 13's and low 12's. all depends on driver, mods, slicks/street tires. too many variables.

[Keeper1343]

well i don't run slicks at all... But we both have I/H/E... We do 40 rolls all day and we are dead even.

id look into your tune/ecu, what your shifting at, compression test, etc.

i dont see an rsx with bolt ons running a 13 second pass. i could be wrong though.

my h22 integra really moved out up top, even on turbo cars.

[Keeper1343]

I shift a 7.5K cause thats whats the redline is. I don't have cams or anything so thats what i should shift at right??? I am trying to find someone local to compression test and leakdown test my car.

[hypntcpimp]

ive seen stock rsx s run 14.5s with nuthing done, get a tune!! goodluck

[Keeper1343]

i would def get a tune if i wasn't waiting for CAMP1320 to replace my header. It was built and didn't have enough clearance so it got ****ed up... Anyone local that can do a leakdown for me???

Thats what i was thinking.

My buddy had a bolt on LS in an EK hatch, and ran and intake an exhaust RSX type S , and they were nearly even.

how do H22 preludes do? i know they're a bit heavier.

[Keeper1343]

its not a prelude.... its just the motor i have in my car.

[pearl]

I would say stock h22 preludes run a flat 15.0.

[Keeper1343]

What do RSX's run...14.5??? Cause like i said i am dead even with him and i should be alot quicker

oof, gotcha.

[pearl]

haha yeah, The motors that Honda builds really come alive when they aren't in their normal frame.

K20s, GSRs, ITRs, etc really move out in cars that are even just a little bit lighter :-)

[Keeper1343]

you didn't even mention h22 in the list.. haha

And by the way.. A little update cause i am trying to find my problem.... compression was exactly 230 across the board. I was impressed

[pearl]

Oops lol.
I had an h22 in my integra, it moved out. It probably wasn't as fast as a Civic with a h22 swap though.

If your compression is fine you may have to look at a tune, or launching/driving better. If you're getting beat up top (1/8 - 1/4), then something is wrong with your motor.
If you are pausing between shifts (that H22 transmission sucks, I know) you are losing valuable time. I have a feeling that this might be your problem.

i am losing power somewhere... i have to get a vacuum gauge from somewhere. I don't feel like buying one cause i will never use it again. if anyone in the area would like to help me in my mission plz feel free to PM me. I live in Levittown.

Tranny is not the problem.... its the motor. But its not the bottom end. I think it just might be a bad vacuum leak cause the 02 sensor to trip and run rich

[pearl]

Visit someone who can street tune you, that is your best bet.
They will also tell you if you have a vacuum leak, and your car will feel 10x better and get much better gas mileage with a tune.

[Keeper1343]

right now i can't really do that due to the fact that my header exactly in the best shape. Its got to be something else. I know i have a vac leak but i can't find it.

If you are so convinced you have a vac leak. Get a can of starting fluid and spray it around the vac lines. When the car revs up you found your leak. Not hard to do.

There are a bunch of guys in our club that have rsx type s and run pretty fast for just i/h/e.
