Okay here is the deal I got a stock 98 R for now and just purchased these goodies : DC jDM header. apex'i n1 catback... 2.5 cat or test pipe ( still not sure ) and comptech ice box with foam filter... I am planning to get a chipped P28 obd1 from kenji with the conversion harness ( street program 5300 vtec / 9000 redline ).. My question is : Since I just invested a good amount of $$$ will I see gain not only on the dyno but at the quarter mile strip ?... I ran 14.61 @ 93.5 stock with a 2.3 0-60 ( with a 40 km/h face wind ) I want to know if it is possible to hit in the high or mid 13 with this setup on a good weather day witout slicks with a target 2.1 0-60 fts ( toyo ra1 @ 20 psi )

 

I think that high thriteens or low fourteens are highly posssible......by the way 14.61 stock..... you must be a good driver...holla at yo boy

 

thanks... any others comments ? the 14.61 was with passenger seat and back seats removed and no spare in the trunk

 

Definately should break into the 13's with slicks and those mods... I consitantly ran 13.50x on average in my Si Coupe with nothing but a Stock R motor, AEM CAI and Apexi WS exhaust so yes its possible for you to get into the 13's with those mods.

I might warn you though with the Apexi N1 exhaust... I just baught one for my car and I run a test pipe as well and its quite loud... Just be aware that the car will be VERY loud and raspy at WOT. I personally think the sound is annoying, but I baught the exhaust for the performance gains.. Just start telling all your friends that "fast cars aren't loud, loud cars are fast." Good luck, you'll be happy with your setup.

 

thanks guys...
