Hey guys

I recently ran a 15.5 at 139kph (sorry 86mph) on the quarter last night.

That was my best time and incidently it was also my first run ever. I have a 1985 sa22c, 13b six port motor with a nikki carb and headers with a couple of straight through mufflers, and a series 4 turbo gearbox.

Just wondering if that time is fast for the setup that i have, and wondering what other people have been running with their 7's

I had major problems trying to shift into fourth and I lost alot of time trying to jam it in. It went in if I flatshifted fourth... maybe the synchros, maybe its the clutch as it has an upgraded pressure plate. When I put it in first and keep the clutch in, the car creeps forward.. Im going to ditch the clutch and get a stock rx7 pressure plate me thinks

Anyways, any replies would be fantastic :-)

 

no its not. no stock nikki will flow enough for that engine. My best time is a 14.6 with a 45dcoe carb. If you insist on a nikki get a sterling those are beautiful and plenty capable.

 

yeah you should just get another carb. my dad once had an RX7 that did 14.20s with just a 45 Mikuni and headers. Sterlings are nice too. I really dont think 15s are bad in your car though. Ive seen turbo civics do 15s. lol

 

you can have a fun little 15 second car so its not "slow"... but yea, and new carb should be a way to go....but with atleast a holley and a few other boltons your in the 14's...which is a real fun street car

 

thanks guys,

yeah i know that i can do better, I should really look into a new carb maybe... ive got a 32/36 but that would be worse than a nikki :-)

I want to retain the stock omp though, not into pre mixing

 

why your allready not going to pass emmissions? why inject dirty engine oil into the combustion chamber?

 

what are the condition of your tires? maybe you had problems with traction????

i would think your times would be faster than that.

And if you crossed going 86 mph, why would you have to shift into forth? (sorry for my ignorance to 1st gens, but i have 2 fc's and 3rd gear at redline is +/- 100 mph)

 

It's fast for a Honda!

 

turbo civics at 15.5? I ran that in our CRX best of 15.5@86 with 2.2 60 ft, on toyo proxies RA1. see website in sig for other details. I would think turbo's should be way faster than ours.

 

Turbo CRX 1/8 mile @ 7.9, faster than most 1st gens that I've seen.

 

its quick for a essentially stock first gen. be proud considering these cars run like a 10 sec 0-60 from the factory, and by now that could way slower from lack of compression and proper maintenance.
