I raced my cousin this morning. He has a 98' LS Integra (in great shape)with a standard tranny, a stock B18B1, and a K&N filter. Stock everything except for filter.

I have a 90' Crx with:
-D16y7 block
-Z6 vtec head
-Apex'i Vafc
-ground wires
-header, no cat.,performance exhaust
-CAI, K&N filter, bypass valve
-(OBD0)-PS9 ECU, TB, Intake, injectors, fuel rail, and dizzy
-MSD external coil, Crane cams fireball cap and rotor, Accell wires
-Auto tranny
-16x7 wheels
-Naturally aspirated

We have raced several times in the past to track my tuning progress.
Well, today he beat me again. But I took him on take off by 1/2 car length, we stayed side by side 3/4 through the strip then he pulled 1 CRX length ahead of me and stayed there. To put it in perspective, last time he beat me by 3 full car lengths and we took off together this was prior to the Vafc and tuning. I am almost there...that will be a mark for me!

Keep trying that vafc you'll get there.

The auto tranny owns you.

Yup. 5 spd swap will do wonders.

My '89 si: SOHC ZC, not VTEC yet. SRI, DCSports header, custom 2.25 exhaust, no cat. Suspension and 16" wheels.

I raced my friends '94 GSR, and I'm side by side with him until the end of third. GSR top end owns. I also raced my friends '92 Lude (JDM H22A), and it's the same as the GSR, he pulls at the end of third.

I think if you get an si trans. you'll beat that LS for sure.

Well, we race on old country roads when no one is around.

i dont wanna seem like an asshole man, but youre struggling to keep up with a stock ls integra? you defenately need a manual swap or something.

No offense taken, but you are missing the point of my post. I have a 16 yr old car with a SOHC D16, auto tranny and 16" wheels up against an 8 yr old car with a DOHC B18, standard tranny and 14" wheels.

I am purposely comparing apples and oranges to show that my apple is about to beat his orange.

But, you are absolutely right. If I want to kick his a$$, I need to go extreme!

I am just working with what I've got and posting up for what it's worth.

The car is off to a good start, but that auto trans. is like a ball and chain on your ankle.

I agree. But for now the tranny is practical. My job is to drive all over the countryside to see patients at thier homes. I am always having to look at directions or talk on my phone while driving. The auto keeps me hands free. Also, I would need some serious help if I were do an auto-to-standard swap. I don't race it, I just want to go fast and have a fun hobby.

Thanks for the posts guys.

In all honesty,

The auto to manual swap is a freaking breeze man. If you can do SLIGHT modding on your own.. you got the interior work/clutch cable done. the rest is pretty much unbolt rebolt.

With a tool gopher i can have a manual in a crx from auto in under a day.. with no airtools, and no lift. and seriously.. the auto weighs like.. 75#+ more than the manual.

but you guys.. should seriously.. grab ahold of a '01 lude automatic tranny.. talk about your ball buster, that thing HAS to weigh 200+ pounds.. no joke, it weighs almost as much as the freaking h22a4

Thanks for the input guys. I will do the tranny swap whenever I get a chance.
