So I'm coming up to a left turn with a green arrow, I'm taking it and I catch a little white civic hatch with gauges in the corner of my eye waiting to take a right adjacent to my turn onto the same road. I complete the turn but theres a van behind me, the civic takes a right onto the road which I am on. The road is a 35mph, I'm in the front of the pack doing 40mph all the way till it comes to a light. From here theres only two ways, left or right I pull in the left lane, the van behind me right and the civic on the left. The light turns green, I go and the street were turning on is 2 lanes both way 55mph. I go out to the far right lane, shift into second as I do normal driving not expecting anything to happen as soon as I hear the civic get on it. I see him pulling up and as soon as I see his headlights on my left I romp the gas, I'm still in 2nd. I'm pulling as tires are spinning like a mofo, I hit 7k rpms hes about 2 cars away at this point, shift 3rd and now hes about 5 car lengths back at about ~70mph. I slow back down, tell him to pull over, he gets behind me and we pull into a grocery store parking lot. I ask what he had and said a gsr motor. All of a sudden his friend pulls up in a black 240sx and said "damn that was some funny stuff". They wanna take a peak under the hood I show and their in shock. Like what in the hell is this. They thought it was an Isuzu at first lmao! I'm like nope its my little mazda. We talk for about 10 minutes just bull****ting. So I'm very curious what these hatches typically run with gsr swaps. I mean the race only lasted like 5 seconds and I was a good 5 car lengths ahead of him just like that. Last time I went to the track I just put on the t3/t4, it was very untuned and I ran a 14.4 at 106mph. Yes I did have traction issues up the butt. The mazda is running like a champ now, I need to go to the track and see what I run but I just dont have any slicks right now and the 205's arent cutting it =) If anyone has seen a hatch with this swap run tell me what they ran I'm very curious. I really cant compare my time with it but I can guestimate.

i know of somebody in boise with a b20/vtec motor running 13.07 all motor(no NOS) in a 92-95 hatchback. the engine is pretty sweet. headers, exhaust, individual throttle bodies, things like that. of course that is a little bit more then a gsr.Create your own VB Gallery here.

I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

My '91 CRX SI ran a 15.3 @ 88mph with it's stock 1.6 SOHC
With the LS swap I should be well in the 14's (1.8 DOHC vs 1.6 SOHC)
To be honest though... most Honda drivers can't drive for $hit._________________________________

106 is a pretty damn high trap for 14.4, but like you said... traction issues.
With that trap speed I wouldn't be suprised to see mid/high 13s. Traction is the issue, though. Is the wheelhop bad?Dan

Originally posted by funkdaddysmackSome engine mounts may help things a bit, you could also fenagle some sort of engine torque brace to help things out (does basicaly the same as the engine mounts, prevents the engine shifting so much on throttle). It will help your throttle responce, too. Possibly downfalls are that it puts more strain on the drivetrain, most notibly the clutch. If you have an upgraded clutch (assuming you do), shouldn't be an issue.
MS Motor mounts are a difinite must!!!
