If he kept up with your stock integra 4dr, most likely with an LS in it.
Then most likely he will be faster then your D15z1 powered eg. his weight to power ratio will be better then yours. Most likely you will loose.

Just race him in your 4dr integra again.

Do a few practice launches before you race to find the right point. You dont want wheel spin but want to hit your power band quick.

I personally launched bewteen 2.5-3k depending on how slick it was. Sticky Tires FTW :woot:

Let us know how it goes down. :thumb:

this weekend ima get a new k&n filter and do spark plugs and spark plug wires, oil change so hopefully it goes good.. ill post excatly how it went

ill launch at 2.5k rpm.. and shift 500 rpm's less than redline...

CHRONO404 ive been looking at ur setup a bit and i like the idea that ur being unique and using nitrous in ur car most people just go turbo and call it a day but i actually think ima be going a low shot of nitrous.. maybe a 50.. you think thatll be safe on a dry system?

- Fri Mar 27, 2009 3:58 am #106057 Thanks for the compliment. About your Question, Depends on your dry kit. Some dry kits come with boxes that will make your injectors give more gas. I personally like Wet kits as once you get it tuned right it will never change. Much simpler with less stuff to go wrong. Highly recommend the wet kit.

With a Stealth Nitrous kit Install you will give people double takes when they look under your hood. A n/a z6 beat my K20? WHAT? :lol:
Its also much better on your equipment, your only making your horsepower when your out racing or want/need it. you are not wearing your engine out doing random crap like buying groceries when its just wasted.

Not sure on how the d15z1 will do with nitrous. As long as you keep your total projected hp under 200 you should be okay.

Either that or a JDM D15B, which you can also get dirt cheap from any motor importer.

Looking forward to read up on what happens.

If i was you i would shoot up on Nitrous and have some fun until you get a z6 swap. :thumb:

A "Stelth" wet nitrous install is just a Wet nitrous kit thats installed so you cant see it. I.E. hide the solenoids behind/under the fusebox, etc.

Shoot if I was you I'd be reaping the gas saving of the Z1 and use the money I saved on gas to fund some of the swap

Oh, and you'll probably lose, your tranny is hella tall.
