Almost Lost To a Ricer!

[blacksport]

It was the usual, i pull up to some crap *** looking import with a freind and said watch this. I rev up to him at the light and before we took off we saw a cop sitting at the QT so we drive down more and take off.

It was from 40 on, worst speed. I started pulling but at about 80 he started slowly gaining on me, he would have passed me except there was a car coming in his lane so we let off.


I was shocked, the car looked like a POS. It was a serious sleeper I guess. I'd heard you guys stories about the VTEC crap and never beleived it. All he had a a VTEC head, full exhaust, and intake.

I would have had him if it was a light though. I'm still shocked.


Earlier that day I ordered a JETT Stage 2 Power Module so hopefully it doesnt happen again. [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img]

"All it had was a FULL EXHAUST" that's gonna help him quite a bit right here. 4 Cylinders shouldn't just be dismissed as slow :D

3rd gear for any v-tech car is pretty nasty.

[Silv6]

so what kind of ricer was it? Did it say Supra on the side???

3rd gear for any v-tech car is pretty nasty.

Explain?

Why would what gear the VTEC motor is in matter? The VTEC solenoid that causes the motor to be using a more aggresive cam profile kicks in at a certain RPM (higher RPM's). 3rd gear has nothing to do with it.

My finacee as a 2003 Honda Civic that has a VTEC motor (127 hp) and I don't care what gear it is in...it is slow.

VTEC doesn't create HP, it simply uses it more efficiently by using a different cam profile at high RPM's. The concept is certainly sound but 127 hp is still only 127 hp no matter how you are using it.

Earlier that day I ordered a JETT Stage 2 Power Module so hopefully it doesnt happen again.

Send it back it won't do anything for you. Spend your money on a CAI or something.

well my brother built a 92 prelude and put a h22a in it and the vtec makes a pretty sick *** difference BUT only kicks in at around 5500 RPM and yes you can feel the difference in first gear your car is gonna wrap out to fast to utilize the v-tec for that loing and then second is a little better and third gear is real long so itll turn 5500 rpm to 7000 from about 75 MPH to about 100MPH so you have a loinger gear in third the more time for the vtec to hang in there [img]graemlins/stickpoke.gif[/img]

oh and by the way I HATE HONDAS WITH A PASSION

The Jet Chip sucks?

What should I get a power programmer? What do those actually, do? Advance timing and adjust shift points? Trash the speed limiter?


Whats the difference in the power module?


I think the car had some pretty gay emblems on it. I started laughing when I saw Type R on it, LMAO.

I've heard the vtec's have pretty good mid-top end power.

[blacksport]

The power module doesnt replace anything does it? Its just a plug in that adjusts setting correct? I dont really see how it could make any more difference. It sounds like BS to me, I know it works and all but makes it seem like its just making it shift firmer to make it seem faster?

Whats the difference in the two?

[blacksport]

It was like a 94' integra or something.... It looked really ****ty

[98goldbird]

Dude...calm down with your typing [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] you're getting all worked up over almost losing to an almost happened race. :rolleyes:

[blacksport]

I'm not getting worked up, I'm just a hick.... Sorry, lol.
