Crx Delsol 1/4 mile times..

Of all the reviews in motor and wheels magazine that i have seen of the b16 crx they only make low 16s for the quarter mile. Around the 16.3 mark carrying close to 140kmh over the line. That is on a proper correvit and stuff and they generally run at least a half tank and its generally a two way average. But on a dead flat track and perfect day they'll still struggle to crack a 16flat. This is on a correvit though, if you take one to willowbank or something im sure you'll run slightly quicker. Times are always about 0.3s quicker out at the strips than motor and wheels achieve on the correvit. They aren't rockets but they are certainly full of potential and sound full on!

yeh they do sound full on, but what honda doesnt with a pod
why do u need to go so fast when u look so good :D

Exactly right mate!!!

I did a ET of 16.050 on my second ever run at Willowbank in my Delsol. Car was stock except for CAI and heavy ass rims & Goodyear Eagle F1's. Plus I also found my CAI came off at the Throttle body after the run.

I have seen documentation of 15.7 for a stock Delsol.

Hope that helps.

BTW: Nice Avatar Jason. Top car that one was sad to see it go. :thumbsup:

wow, not a bad time, nice speed for a stock 1.6 comapred to alot of other cars in its league.

As I said, I ran a 16.3 in my NON vtec 97 model civic, also 1.6. It was stock, just had pod and cannon muffler. If anyone is in Melb and wants to take thier car down the strip just for fun, come along to heathcote this sunday, I should be taking my stock GSI down.

Can meet up beforehand if anyone wants???

Will bump this up for some new info from my race at tonight Wicked Wednesday Meet - WSID

My Run - First Timer

Model: 1997 Crx Delsol
Engine: B16a2
Power: 130hp/wheels = 98kw/w (Dyno Dynamics Shootout - Castle Hill Exhaust)
Mods: X-force Headers + Exhaust, all else stock.
Best E.T & MPH : 15.512 @ 89.39mph
60ft: 2.268
Tyres: 14" Stockers up front on 18psi (for above run), 18's on back.
Notes: Slightly slipping clutch, Pretty bad shocks, Full tank of fuel, 7000rpm launch for above.

My mate was also there who pulled a 15.6 with HD clutch & 4kg flywheel his first runs also.

Edit: Times were consistent from 15.5-15.7 and a shitty 16.041 run as well.

I've ran a couple times... wish I could recall my trap speed, best ET was 15.9s

for a D16Z6 powered del sol, short ram intake and dc exhaust manifold.. all else stock.

A b16 powered sol should have no problems running in the mid to high 15's with a decent driver. Just keep the 17" wheels and the stereo equiptment away.

No joke, I think its really possible to crack the 14's in a basically stock delsol.

Heard that the rear bar acts as a parachute and its possible to remove .3 seconds off E.T by creating a lightweight diffuser or chopping it.

Add some slicks for 8000rpm launch, new clutch and better shocks, CAI, retune and im there... Needs way more low-midrange torque though, so an upgraded ITB & Manifold would be a good start.

wow this thread is ancient hehe

I still didn't end up getting a del sol, still driving the GSI around... ran a 15.8 at heathcote though.... del sol may or may not be slower buteither way, they're alot more unique.

Abso-freaking-lutely.


Been working with a couple people with a few different diffuser designs... one guy had one already to test until it was ran over by someone else backing out of a garage... that'll teach him to leave it laying around!

Saxman - what materials and designs have they come up with so far? Very interesting...

Any information on net about these you might know of>? Cant find a thing!!
