Yea I noteced that

Not all motors the same. I had two same Delsols, exactly the same and they ran alot diffierent.
I wonder what things to look for when doing tune up, I mean more like some sensors.

hey lude action, put it to you this way. i have a 94 del sol vtec b16a3 and my bro has a 97 sport shift lude. i beat him and my motor is completely stock. he has aem cai, and greddy evo. its very close, especially when he added the exhaust. but i mean i double clutch and everything to beat him.

ive raced civic si's and beaten them by 2 cars easy. for some reason, the weight diff on the sol makes a big difference. if your friends have a civic si, they will lose for sure, given the dood in the sol vtec can drive his car.

i raced an si w/ aem cai and dc 4-2-1 headers, and beat him by a car. i think civic si's are kinda awkward. i mean, they got the same fawkin motor but more weight.

anything else youd like to know?

hope that helps you out bro.

its called power shifting not double clutching
Power shifting is a whole different thing than double clutching. I've never heard those two things referred to in the same category. I've heard of heel-toe shifting or double clutching, which are both used in autocross. I never said that you don't powershift in a drag race, I was talking to guy that said he double clutched in a drag race.

Not Impressed with the DOHC

I always read about DOHC del sols running a 15.7 and barely beating DOHC civics....ok, wtf? I run 16.00 consistently with my SOHC del sol and i can beat DOCH civics. So what is going on. That is bone stock! The other day I got a chance to race a DOHC del sol and the race was to close for comfort! I think on a track the DOHC might beat me, but I really don't know for sure....so what is up? Any other SOHCs had experiences like these?

wow, the dohc vtec sol drivers must have really sucked ass. whenever i race sol si its not even a race, its an outright owning.

when i say double clutching, i mean that say im giving the car gas, all i do is stomp on the clutch real fast and it brings me higher up in the rpms. i am not talkin bout powershifting or anything like that. that is i guess my term for double clutching. sorry if i confused you all but that is what i meant.

btw, a stock lude would beat a vtec sol only if its manual. auto or ss would lose.

if you are talkin bout drag strip, then i dont know. i only street race where its safe. never been to the drags so i wouldnt know.

but yea, a manual lude would beat a sol vtec.

I have a delsol Si with I/H/E and no cat, plus wires and plugs. I ran a best of 15.9, and I am a good driver in case you are wondering. You must have those one in a million special engines that are just built better. Kudos for your engine! A delsol Si stock should run upwards of 16.8 stock>>>>

Alright look at the last sentence it the first paragraph, what does it say? " but I mean I double clutch and everything to beat him". So don't tell me you never said it, you're the flamer.
