  • Today is the first time I've taken the Turbo V6 Honda Civic to a prepped drag strip! The previous owner said it ran 9s consistently, so it's time to see for myself! Make sure you check out

    Few things may help your launch
    1. Launch control like you said. It’ll help with being more consistent.
    2. Lowering your tire pressure will allow the tire to absorb the shock instead of hopping trying to grip. 8-10psi should work well.
    3. Preloading the clutch and not dumping it from complete extension. Preloading the clutch is basically like slipping it while you’re sitting still. It’ll sink the suspension down some, load the trans with some torque and then releasing it slower will soften the shock of torque to the wheels. This will help the wheels not hop, and will keep the engine from shaking as much.
    Lastly boost by gear like you said, as well. Def need a little less power off the line. Once you got those down you’ll be golden! I’d suggest a hydro so you don’t push through the clutch while you preload on the line!
    Hope this helps! 💪🏼🙌🏼

  • @ArthurSperotto

    Loved watching this! You need to preload and heavily slip the clutch on the launch, Evan. That's how we launch Civics, no matter the power level. If you dump the clutch, you're guaranteed to be picking up parts at the starting line. Let that twin/triple disc do the work for you - build boost on the 2-step, preload the clutch then slip it out, RPM's will stay high as the car catches up in speed. Good luck, brother

    @ethanleblanc2049 Před měsícem

    Hey Evan! I thought i'd chime in, i'm by no means an expert, but you really have to preload your axles or add a slipper valve to eliminate the wheel hop/tire shake. The trans coming out of gear was surely a result of this as well. The rad being on the drivers side it's missing the rad stay! Would be easy enough to install a nutsert and fasten it properly, would keep it out of the downpipe that's for sure. Thanks for bringing us along for your ride all these years, look forward to more content!

    I don't get why it's so hard to cold start on ethanol, maybe if it was freezing outside I would understand. I just got done street tuning my h22 turbo build on e85, I just had to play with the compensation tables a little bit and it will start first crank every time now. You can try raising the cranking enrichment too see if it helps, but it didn't for me. I had to adjust post-start fuel after getting my fuel tables worked out, that did the trick 👍 should all be based on ECT. I had to take away fuel post-start at low ECT and raise it for hot ECT. Apologies if you're already tuned and know this stuff! Just trying to help

    Okay three things that could have easily avoided this. Number one never dump the clutch. That's why it wheel hopped so bad. Number two never stay in it when it's wheel hopping, let off and let it stop hopping and then get back in it or abort the pass. And number three, if your entire engine looks like the blade of a jackhammer when it's wheel hopping, you need more engine mount lol

  • @jonathanrichardson3333
    @jonathanrichardson3333 Před měsícem

    Take those tires off . They are too tall and the rubber compound is too hard . Makes it “grippy” vs “sticky”, if that makes sense. Grippy causes wheel hop, which is rough on mounting point, axels and gearboxes. You’ll have better results with a 24.5” full slick on 13” rims (preferable x10” , but x9 will do. ). You will still spin. But it will be a smoother spin with travel vs violent hop. Also, a mid-plate trans brace would help with the engine movement in the bay. Better mounts won’t hurt either. DP in NJ makes a trans brace that bolts to the mounting point for the bottom trans shield and then bolts to tabs that you’d weld to the traction bar. Car looks good, good luck working out the kinks.
