FD 0~100 time

[ej20i]

hey guys, wad is your 0~100 time??
wheels magazine says 11 seconds...
i tested mine...displayed on the rsm the best was 7.60 seconds
second best was 7.80 seconds
all ive done to the engine is removal of extractor and new twin loop exhaust!!!does it sound rite to u guys??

[sitta]

hm doesnt sound right.. thats more into fn2 type r 0-100 time. unless you got fd sport and do alot ot mods to it

[ej20i]

hmmm na..i got fd1.i'll post up the photo from my rsm tonite..
thats wad i thot as well...it doesnt sound rite and i got my fren to time it with a stop watch...only 1 second difference between the stop and the rsm...reaction time maybe??

[rk 86 wa]

7.8 is fast lol

fastest ive ever done was 8.8

[amurray]

yea 7.8 is fast... my best was a 8.4 but deffinataly not 11 seconds

[denot]

any1 try using stock car? any time for FD1 and FD2?

[amurray]

well mine was only with a Injen CAi on 20's lol

[ej20i]

here it is!

[JaCe]

Tim, the RSM is fundamentally flawed without the G-sensor* when it comes to testing 0-100km/h due to the way that RSM calculates the time to accelerate based purely on the speed sensor and not taking into account wheelspin as well as the the inbuilt delay which the RSM has before it starts timing. Although.. that doesn't explain the huge variance you are getting. I remember reading the manual FD1 should be able to get 0-100 in the 10-10.5 range.

* Even with the G-sensor, it's still not 100% accurate.

[yourfather]

CAR weighs more than a DC2 VTi-R and has less power yet goes faster.....

[bennjamin]

hmm

i believe Wheels 0-100
not yours.

[hisoka]

how does it measure 0-100 sounds like incorrect sensor reading.

previously on a motorbike of 125cc i was wondering how i was doing 150 kph lol~turned out it was reading wrong rim diameter lol. so yer maybe try check the sensor or however it reads the speed/time

[danjoy25]

I don't think 11sec is right. I've done a few quick launches in traffic lights and backed off when the speedo hits 80-90kph and it was definitely under 7 secs.

[Tofu]

LOL there's no way it's under 7sec.
my Blitz timer on my TypeS shows a fastest time of 6.8s 0-100km/h

i use to own a base auto dc5, basically the same as a civic sport, and there's no way it can do 7s 0-100km/h. More like high 8s to mid 9s!!

lol no!! the base dc5 is a 2.0L k20a3 118kw

[Tofu]

ej20i: is your FD a manual or auto? if it's manual, then for a time of 7.6s - 7.8s I do believe.
But i still stand by my comment that it's no way under 7s

[denot]

lol no!! the base dc5 is a 2.0L k20a3 118kw

EEEHhhh??? My bad... :( I was thinking of DC2 :p

I think for a person to get even 8-9 secs in a bone stock FD is extremely hard, and if possible, that would be hitting every shift at the right time, which once again is extremely hard

Resonator* timmy

[nny911]

its not stock!!!!!!!!!!!!exhaust, and resonator removal and manual!!!
the m in the rsm means, i did 0~100 in bla bla meters!
jaCe, i timed it for him as well with his stopwatch and it came out with +- the same figure.
new surfaced flat road btw

[aaronng]

What does your speedo read when you are cruising at 100km/h through the vehicle speed check point?

[Tofu]

changing the exhaust don't mean anything power wise, it's not going to shave off even 0.5s off the 0-100km/h time.
Given it's a manual, and a very good driver and launching it perfectly, getting into the 7s for 0-100km/h for a FD1 with the mentioned mods is hard to believe.

[applio]

between 9-10 sec should be for FD1. my one does that. ummm under 8? hard to believe, oooo could be driving down the hill:cool:

[ej20i]

lol...it wasnt downhill...but yea, im not arguing with you guys that im special and my fd can do it...i was just wondering...since u guys saw the record on my rsm...
and btw...i had no fuel left in the car when i did that (orange light been on for 3 days)

[bodaas]

is your car fd sport or vti?

[Tofu]

take it to the track, and do a 1/4mile time to be more official.

[ej20i]

its a vti, yea was thinking that but got no cash on me atm...so sad...hahhaha

[black_em1]

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95194

as ur maximum speed is 171km/h in wakefield, i can tell your car is very fast and no wonder u can do 0-100 in 7.60 seconds! :thumbsup:

[buzz]

yer bro your car is fast... loving it...

cause your car didnt have a full tank that would have helped alot, did you have your subs in or any other weight in the car?

7sec is fast, i still havent tested my car but i will one day :D

[ej20i]

i got dual kicker 12's im gona try to do it again as i dont beleive it myself.

[Frost_FD]

Mine is 9 secs =( car weights close to 1.5 tonne

[danjoy25]

Those chromes don't help. :)

Im pretty confident that our VTi will clock under 8's. One thing about the FD is its got higher torque and the DBW also helps.

Timmy: If you go to drags, I'll join you.

[bennjamin]

171 down the straight at wakie ? under 8 seconds to 100 ? are you sure you didnt get the type R version instead lol ? my civic with an actual type r motor (b18c7, 141kw) and i push 160 down the main straight....

get a 1/4 mile time :)

[ej20i]

im just embarased if i go 2 eastern creek drag with a stocky civic...heheheh

[SPEEDCORE]

Drove a manual FD2 on Tues.... its definately in the low 9s.. high 8's with a good launch and tailwind...... MAYBE!

[UNLS1]

lol does it really matter what the 0-100 time is?
its a 1.8lt, its not a performance or sports car.

[danjoy25]

To us FD owners it does. You might sell a few more if you tell buyers that they are capable of under 8 secs. :thumbsup:

[LD_Mart]

haha was gonna say that at the start but didnt want to get hated on by the FD owners...

i use to drive an FD2 and there is no way it does 8...i reckon in the 9's if you are having a good day...

Also remember that our speedo is out, we should be reading about 106km/h before we have actually hit 100

[danjoy25]

I would classify an FD2 as a sports car as thats what it says on the badge and I also heard that an FD1 is quicker, so that makes sense Timmys VTI is capable of 8's

I wan't to see Timmy vs Daniel in the creek ;):eek:

[denot]

FD2 is NOT a sports car... well it should be badge as VTI-L... and VTI-L is just... VTI + extras...

coz VTI and VTI-L is faster than FD2... somehow...

[LD_Mart]

its FD1 manual is faster then FD2 auto

[LD_Mart]

I wan't to see Timmy vs Daniel in the creek ;):eek:


Bring it on haha im keen when ever...

[denot]

I believe so mate... :(

[Tofu]

lol calling the Civic Sport a sports car is a joke
I don't even consider my old DC5 auto a sports car

I consider the civic sports a sports car.
It has a K20 engine and enkei wheels.

^^^ none... none of the K20 parts (DC5R, EP3R, etc) fit for FD2... :thumbdwn:

also... 1st time I want to join NRMA via phone, they said... "I think it gonna cost you more cause its a sports car" wat de????

lol 114kws is not 'sports car'

maybe you need to drive a "real" sports car then make the comparison for yourself.

[nny911]

lol does it really matter what the 0-100 time is?

the point is, that a 1.8L NA "family" car can do such numbers lol

Vti and Vti-Lits faster cos think about how much shit extra they dump into the sport...

full leather trim.
extra airbags
heavier engine
sunroof
1 to 2 inch difference in wheel size

vti/vti-L = man 1180 kg
auto 1210 kg

VS

sport = man 1260 kg
auto 1290 kg

PLus when ppl race how often do they think about the variables

fatter person?
more people in the car?
subwoofer in the back?
shitter driver?
different diameter wheels?
what petrol their using?
manual or automatic?
what tyres their running?
how well maintained is their car

in that split 2nd u rarely think about it


sure sport is 114kws... but wat really counts is how many kws "ATW"

[Tofu]

the point is, that a 1.8L NA "family" car can do such numbers lol

the point is it cannot do those numbers
unless i see a time slip from the drags of a stock or slightly modified 1.8L FD Civic doing 7s 0-100km/h i still refuse to believe it.

[LD_Mart]

i read somewhre that the fn2r does 5.5 is that tru?

haha i wish...pretty sure there wouldnt be too many complaints about the car if it was running 5.5...
it runs 7.2 and honda claims 6.6

[ej20i]

sports car or no sports car...if its tuned rite..its a tuner...
i mean...they put a dam turbo in a starlet!?!?!?!??!?!?!
a starlet is not a 'sports car'!!!!

[Tofu]

lol never called the starlet a sports car
you can do whatever you want to it, unless you strip it and make it a track specific car, the 1.8L or even the 2L FD civic are not sports cars\
like i said before, even my previous auto DC5 after intake, header, exhaust, mugen suspension, sway bars, tie bars strut bars...i still don't consider it a sports car....it was "sporty" but not a "Sports Car" like the DC5R, DC2R, EP3R, FN2R, FD2R or even my current DC5 TypeS

[applio]

haha i wish...pretty sure there wouldnt be too many complaints about the car if it was running 5.5...

Nothing to be confused about.... its not an R. Its a tarted up 2 door EUDM civic grocery getter.

As soon as they replaced something so essential and critical to the essence of a Type R (LSD with VSA)... they forfeited the right to call the flippin thing a "sports" car.

Type S was more befitting of the FN2R.

i m not talking about FN2R, there are also dc5R, Dc2R released the same year as s2K, so these are not a sport cars, right??,
or sport cars must have lsd?o therwise its not sport car

[SPEEDCORE]

If I'm on the same page as UNLS1... we are talking about cars currently on offer by Honda Australia.

You mentioned Type R... so taking the above into consideration I interpreted your Type R as being the FN2R.

Anyway... enough of this shit.... test drove an FD2 manual earlier in the week.... I say low 9's... anyone talking about these things in the 7 second range 0-100 is on drugs.

[bodaas]

another fn haters hehehe

[SPEEDCORE]

Not at all actually. Its a decent car... just not one that should wear a red badge in my opinion.

[bodaas]

wrong mate,,
the one that shouldnt red badge in my opinion, is AUDM DC5R, its not even real type R k20, but it got lsd right?

[ej20i]

LOLZ...man u saw the time on my RSM, is my RSM on drugs??
im just waiting till i got no fuel left on the car and i'll do a video capture on it okae...

i didnt see it myself....tell us again how does the RSM measure your speed etc ? a gyro or splices your speedo ?

anyway , as i stated before my car with 141kw at the engine and only 980kg can muster 158km/h down the main straight of wakefield , only1.16s with my noob driving
Your car with XXXkw and XXXXkg (fill me in lol) hits 170 down the main straight , but only 1.22's but 7 seconds to 100?

[SPEEDCORE]

im just waiting till i got no fuel left on the car and i'll do a video capture on it okae...

Okay :)

[ej20i]

to be honest...i have no idea how many kw and how heavy my car is...but i'll post up the top speed on my rsm here...(i wouldnt be doing 170 on a road) and i havent been on a dyno so the top speed on the rsm was from the track...
and rsm connects to the ecu and makes an adjustments to the speed as i have bigger wheels and more mass inside the car..

[Jo_e]

.(i wouldnt be doing 170 on a road)
lies...lol

[SPEEDCORE]

wrong mate,,
the one that shouldnt red badge in my opinion, is AUDM DC5R, its not even real type R k20, but it got lsd right?

....and brembos yada yada yada....

We are talking about current models for sale by Honda Australia at present so please don't bring older models into it.

Again.... if you truely believe that you are getting your OZ FD1/2 0-100 in the 7 second bracket... put down the pipe.

[Tofu]

the rsm is not very accurate, it says my auto dc5 (118kw and 1290kg) does 0-100km/h in 7.8s and 1/4mile in 15.8s, but I went to the drags and i did 16.5s

[.k.]

why isnt starlet a sports car? i used to love mine and i wish i hadnt sold it they're so rare.. i see one gt like once every couple of months.. and harry off the forums is running mid-low 11's in his

[iversonruls]

my mate drove his civic FD1 to wakefield, max he could get was ard 150. and lap time speed was ard 1.24. (the speed was according to the speedo)

20km/h difference seems to be a lot

[migoreng]

when you launch you may wheelspin 40kph but your car is actaully moving slower during that time
once the tyres pick up grip then you are on your way to 100kph anyway..

so is there a problem with starting the timing from the moment the wheels start spinning til when your speedo hits 100kph?
11 seconds?? typical family car does 0-100kph in 10 seconds errr

is that how these speed devices work?

if you wheel spin then the device will pick up you did 0-40kph in one or two seconds bu t physically your car doesn't move from 0-40kph in 2 seconds it's just the sensors in the wheels..

you could wheel spin like crazy on a wet road and the device would think you did 0-100kph in 5 seconds right?
lol

[Havocwreaker]

I'm going to assume that the Honda engineers are half competent and have mounted the rotation sensors on the rear wheels of the FDs. They won't suffer from wheel spin any any circumstances.

As for attaining accurate 0-100 times, I don't think that the digital readout is an accurate measure. I notice that there's some lag in the readout it delivers.
I might suggest the use of a MoTeC g sensor if you really want an accurate reading.

[yfin]

The RSM is fairly accurate BUT only with the G-sensor device fitted. Over the 1/4 the difference on my Euro was 0.1 seconds between the RSM with G-Sensor and the slip time.

The other thing is the RSM has to be set up properly - ie calibrate the speed using a GPS device. The RSM is using the Civic electronic speedo to determine the speed (by tapping the ECU harness). The problem is the speedo does not necessarily equate to "actual speed".

If the current model Civic Type R is anything to go by - some Honda speedos are highly inaccurate and can report dash speeds of 100kph when the vehicle is actually travelling as low as 92kph (verified by GPS). The situation becomes even worse if you alter the rolling diameter (eg by fitting incorrect tyres to suit rims). Have you changed the rims/tyres on your Civic away from factory size?

In short, I can say without hesitiation that you have not got a hope in hell of getting an almost stock FD to achieve the 0-100kph (real speed) time your RSM is quoting unless the road is downhill.

Can't really use the 0-100 time off the street because streets are almost never dead flat. Go to WSID.

its from goign to the drags with my friends with FN2R, ep3r, DC5R and my DC5S.
all 3 are pretty much stock, and the FN2R always gets a slower trap time.
But it could be just the drivers.

anyway, so do we have proof of the FD doing 7s yet?

Fn2Rs are fkn shit, soz guys

i love them, they look awesome, but performance is a complete utter let down

fkn honda, sif pull off a marketing ploy like that on us....

6.6 0-100 my fkn ass, lol

:thumbsup:Go Timmey:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I can hear the VTEC!!!;)

Just imagine without the subs and by yourself you will be pulling Type R times. Go the R18

[bodaas]

ehm .im totally honest with you
your video showed your car took 0-100 at 9 s something
i could see straight away from your video, by looking at the speedo

you hit 100 km/h more than 9 seconds

[ej20i]

the whole video was 9 seconds....not like i launch strait away...look at the rsm read out

[SPEEDCORE]

Thanks for the effort.... I do seriously appreciate it.

Though I see 9 second 0-100... based on video time and car speedo.
Nothing to sneeze at though.... I think that is actually really really decent for the FD1.. congrats.

[bodaas]

when your video started, i could listen the wheel spin straight way right,
then
the speedo hit 1 km/h then 23 km/h
then you count it untill your speedo reach 100

i counted 9 second, could be somewhere around 9.3 9.4 9.5

i dont trust that rsm

edit: when your video stop, your speedo reach 102 km/h right?

[LD_Mart]

i def reckon high nines after watching it several times....
even maybe a 10

[ej20i]

u guys reckon so??so theres something wrong with the rsm??
yea the speedo hits 102 when the vid ends.

[SPEEDCORE]

Yup I saw the 102.....

I doubt there is something wrong with the RSM dude.... moreso a case of lacking info to calculate a more accurate reading, ie. the G sensor as yfin mentioned.

In saying that... I have no idea how that would effect the outcome of the topspeed reading you had of 170 at the track.... maybe someone else can chime in.

[bodaas]

if rsm counted from 40km/h to 100km/h
you definately would get 7.9 s,,

this car takes 2-3 s from 0-40km/h, pretty long delay

[denot]

i think it counts 23km/h as 0km/h but still counts 102km/h as 100km/h

coz when you count from 23 to 102 its around 7.9 sec

[markCivicVti]

I haven't seen the vid... but anyone one with a FD knows the digital speedo lags bad... keep that in mind... good on ya for giving it a go!

[bennjamin]

...just not on public streets please.
This type of behavior CAN lead to your car getting pulled over and receiving a fine.

So , dont 0-100 or ANY test to your car on the open road :)

[ej20i]

it wasnt on the open road...dont worry...hehehhe
it was a dead end road with no traffic
heheheheheheehhe....

[Havocwreaker]

Out of interest, what modifications have you made to you car?

[SPEEDCORE]

Could you also tell us how you are spinning the R18 to 7594?

[ej20i]

i only got twin loop exhaust with straight pipe out of the headers...and thats it.
and umm with the 7594 rpm, that scared the crap outa me too...was in third gear in wakie on the 2nd bend, wasnt thinking rite and dumped it to 2nd rev went beyond redline...scared the sht outa me...thot the engine was gona blow...i saw it with my own eyes...slamed on the brakes straight away.......

[SPEEDCORE]

I'm not familiar with Wakie so was it a mishift wanting to go into 4th or trying to engine brake WAY too much?

Should have clutched in not slammed the brakes on BTW.

[ej20i]

it was a WAY WAY WAY WAY too much engine braking...hehehe
yea...i paniced and all i thought about was brake muffaker....hahaha

[6-SpeedManual]

hey guys, wad is your 0~100 time??
wheels magazine says 11 seconds...
i tested mine...displayed on the rsm the best was 7.60 seconds
second best was 7.80 seconds
all ive done to the engine is removal of extractor and new twin loop exhaust!!!does it sound rite to u guys??

i dunno how you got such a good time but even my friend's 180 type-x turbo can't get 7's that easy :confused: so how many times have you tried doing 0-100 with your rsm?

[ej20i]

ive been doing it like 10+ times...but yea i guess theres something wrong with my rsm...maybe the inavailability of the g~sensor...

[Sherweeeny]

why dont u just look at the speedo and count?

[UNLS1]

lol why is thread still going?
its a civic 1.8lt we are talking about not a bloody car with big HP! lol

[Sherweeeny]

alright, i timed mine tonight, without gay machines, on a flat, without redlining (so i didnt absolutely whore through the gears... that much), got 8 seconds (give or take a little) on both occasions

[enkay]

lol. do u still have your beemer?

[ej20i]

8 seconds??aint that close 2 mine??

[Frost_FD]

8 secs is correct, i use to do 8 secs but now probably 9 since my car weighs close to 1.5tonne

[beeza]

yea 7.8 is fast... my best was a 8.4 but deffinataly not 11 seconds

hehe 11 seconds is me.

No wait,I'm down to 10.5 seconds now lol :p

Stupid auto :thumbdwn:

[Sherweeeny]

lol. do u still have your beemer?

yaaah


8 seconds??aint that close 2 mine??

didnt you say 7.4 for the 1.8l?

[ej20i]

7.4,7.6,7.8...they were the list i think...yea for the 1.8

[nny911]

alright, i timed mine tonight, without gay machines, on a flat, without redlining (so i didnt absolutely whore through the gears... that much), got 8 seconds (give or take a little) on both occasions

well now if u think about it if sherweeeny got 8 seconds not even redlining ej20i's numbers arent that far off from it.

[Sherweeeny]

well now if u think about it if sherweeeny got 8 seconds not even redlining ej20i's numbers arent that far off from it.

yeah but i was just off redline and mine is the 2.0l? so the 1.8 is quicker?

[ej20i]

aint the vti was meant to be quiker than the sport since the sport was heavier??

[markCivicVti]

only up till 100km/hr then the extra torque kicks in.

[ej20i]

is that for the sport or vti?

[markCivicVti]

Bigger capacity engine = more torque... so sport.

[Sherweeeny]

yes but im sure that there isnt that much weight difference, and that their power output isnt exactly the same? (torque aside)

i just find it odd that a car with around 100kw is getting low 7's 0-100

[FallenAngel]

AT the FLY, i'd give it high 70's or low 80's ATW

[FallenAngel]

here we go guys,
with only two bar down for fuel with 2 12" subs in the boot and 2 ppl in the car..
the first attempt, forgot to video with only 1 person in the car,
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z257/ej20i/RSM.jpg

2nd attempt, with 2 ppl in the car 1 to video and me
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z257/ej20i/th_V010908_1946.jpg (http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z257/ej20i/?action=view&current=V010908_1946.flv)
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z257/ej20i/P010908_1946.jpg

both attempt, change gear at around 6000~6500 rev...not redlined..at all

and this is the foto of my top speed at wakie..since i woudnt be doing that at all on the streets
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z257/ej20i/170ks.jpg

This is awhile back but i only just realized it...

Just wondering how the hell did u hit 170km/h on the straight... I can bearly hit 160km/h by then end and that's pretty late braking at wakie.

Also with the vid i noticed that u changed into 3rd gear before u hit 100. It would have been quicker to leave it in 2nd to the 100 rather than to lose those milliseconds changing gears.

I highly think that the RSM is inaccurate... although this is going by what you've posted and not by my experience.

[ej20i]

i was feeling sorry for the engine to rev that high kinda thing
hahaha
didnt want to hit 7594 anymore hahaha

[Sherweeeny]

dude i just counted that video you posted, took over 9 secs to hit 100... but thats just my counting... i can post up my video if you want so you can compare.

[yfin]

i just find it odd that a car with around 100kw is getting low 7's 0-100

The testing isn't accurate at all. Are there any independent tests that come close (ie magazines using GPS test equipment)? What about drag times - anyone with slips for this model? To get in the low to mid 7s that would be in the mid 15s down the 1/4 I would expect.

[rk 86 wa]

^ i had slips somewhere ill dig up when i can be bothered

low 16s for me, you can blame my driving tires what ever you want but i dont think that you can shave close to a sec off and get mid 15s in a close to stock fd LOL

yes i think that RSM is inaccurate, is impossible for a non turbo with minor mod fd1 using stock brake to hit 170+ on wake straight without crashing, :D

my friend's RX8 best run was 1:15:xx and he only got 15x on the straight,

[applio]

dude i just counted that video you posted, took over 9 secs to hit 100... but thats just my counting... i can post up my video if you want so you can compare.

the video show that your car is a 10sec car which pretty much most FD1 civic can achieve

[Sherweeeny]

ive heard an automatic Civic Vti would beat a CTR to 100 because its lighter.

[jaybot]

yeah me too.. why don't every one who got the CTR or ITR just ditch the car and all get civic sports? coz by the way every one talking around here,,, FD1 is the fastest.. lol.

Common all FD1 owners,, unless you guys mod the Fxxk out of your cars. no Freaken way any of FD1 can come up with time even close to a CTR or ITR.

[Banzai69]

this is strange that now you guys mentioned it..

i drive an Auto Civic VTI 1.8, totally stock.

On the highway in front of my workplace, if i floor my accelerator, I reach the speed limit pretty fast (about 4 or 5 seconds tops, from 0 to about 70kph). As i am highly law abiding, I don't generally push the car thereafter although i am sure i should hit 100kph given a couple more seconds extra. And to answer one of the queries on page 1 or page 2, i notice my speedometer to be inaccurate. At 100kph, on my GPS and those highway speedometers, i am actually just travelling at about 95kph. So to be travelling at 100kph, my speedometer should probably be reading as 105kph instead.

er... i thought they're talkg about how fast FD1 is... not Civic Sports... :confused:

[jaybot]

errr.... sorry my mistake. lets all ditch the ctr n itr and also ditch civic sports lets get Vti fd1... lol

I seriously doubt your 0-100 in around 7-8 seconds, especially in an auto.

[Sherweeeny]

no its true

Civic Vti auto > Lamborghini

[cracker]

yeah ive actually beated a lambo too...but mine is vti-l and so that means it has uber ivtec **** ejaculation exhaust super airflow system
