10th Gen Civic 1/4 Mile Times

[maddmatt02]

Just wanted to say congrats to you for running this time at Pacific Raceway. The day you raced at that track wasn't freezing cold but the temps was around 65F. Not too bad either. Humidity was in the low 50F range, which was cool too. I notice the track layout is from north to south. The wind that day was blowing from north to south at around 10mph or so. While you were doing your 1/4 mile run (Ticket showed 6:08pm), there was a 16mph gust of wind blowing in the same direction as you were racing (North to South). This gust of wind blow was recorded at around 5:53pm. HERE

I have to look at details like this since I am going after this 1/4 mile time in the CVT once I get it. It's all in good fun. I just thought that was.....interesting.

Well that link takes me to a weather page showing the Renton Municipal Airport which is 14 miles NNW from Pacific Raceways as the crow flies (looking up Kent, WA brings up SeaTac Intl Airport about 14 miles NW) and also shows the 13th of June when I actually raced on the 15th. On top of that the airport is near a large body of water and generally pretty open all around it without much to block the wind, while the track is in a pretty heavily wooded area. Also, the track runs east to west, not north to south. If you want to put any N/S direction to it, it actually goes south to north... but barely.

I looked up the airport you linked to and at 6:06 which is closer the the 6:08 time of my run it shows an ESE wind of 4.6 while SeaTac showed SSE of 9.2 at 5:53 (dont have another data point until 6:25 there). Neither would help me while I am racing WNW basically right into the wind if it indeed made it through the trees. Temps look right around 60 degrees.

And to answer your youtube comment, I had runs in the 14s because this was my first time ever racing this car at the track, and I was pretty much improving with each one.

Thanks for the clarification Maddmatt02. Regardless, that's a nice 1/4 mile time and trap speed. It gives me something to look forward to, try to beat, just for fun.

Getting .708 my first trip I really hoped to get .6xx next time but I forgot how to drive apparently. Took me a while just to break 13.999...

Next time I go though I should have what's needed I hope, and I don't plan on going for a long time so it should be easy. When are you getting your Civic again?

The plan is next Friday or Saturday (11/10,11/11) if things work out right. I've always ran my cars pretty hard right out the gate so if I pick it up on 11/10, I'll be heading to the track for some baseline runs. I have no plan on staying on 87 octane beyond that first tank so. Meanwhile.....just reading a LOT to capitalize on the Civic platform's strengths and weaknesses. Not seeing much in the way of 1/4 mile testing except from you and a handful of others. So I am thankful for what you've provided thusfar. Hoping for some friendly competition with the manual folks.

The Type R's 1/4 mile times being posted are very interesting btw.

 

[maddmatt02]

oh yeah I don't baby my cars for the first thousand or anything like what "they" say to do... I just don't beat on it cold or sit at a constant rpm/light load and cruise but I sure as hell open her up frequently! 5 brand new vehicles and no problems with the "motoman" style break-in, although if the problems arent expected to arise until 100k I haven't had any long enough. But I was doing WOT pulls in my 9th accord from day one and got 70k trouble free miles out of it.

About what I got out of my '59 Ford before the engine blew.

Anyone with significant mods able to post an actual 0-60 time? I know that PRL's calculated time was very low - just curious if anyone with similar mods has clocked a sub-6.0 s 0-60?

Also curious if using 19 inch wheels would be enough to tip 2nd gear up to be able to hit 60 mph? If so, I'd imagine that those 0-60 times would drop significantly.

No V-Box, so I'm just using the calculator like PRL is, but based on the slip I posted, 5.42 on stock tires with the intake coupler and tuning on 93.

For you other folks that are interested in using a 0-60 mph calculator, here is one you can use that uses your 1/8th mile time and mph.
0-60mph Calculator

I know everyone isn't great with the internet and using search engines and such. Hope that helps.

 

[maddmatt02]

I just used that link and I don't know how accurate that is but if so color me impressed!

based off my 2 best runs my 0-60 was 4.77 and 4.87. I know on the street I am not getting that low at all though but obviously I hook at the track way better. Going by the last log I looked at just using time stamps and vss data I got a 5.7 0-60 but I am pretty sure I have seen a 5.4 in one of my logs, maybe the 5.7 I got while on pump and got the 5.4 on e25, I'm going to have to go try again and see what I can get on the street.

anyways here's the 2 slips that matter.

Those are great times Matt. I plan on hitting up the track this Friday (11/10/17) to get some baseline numbers. Totally stock, no changing tire pressures, no weight reduction, 87 octane...stock. I have a week off after Friday so will be doing some modifications and run again on Friday 11/17/17 pending weather. Both days I will be at Cecil County Raceway. Hope to see some folks out.

Place bets on what I'll run with this slow CVT.

 

[maddmatt02]

Completely stock on 87 I'll guess something around 15.7 I really have no idea to be honest I don't even know what they say a stock CVT is capable of...

And I don't think that's directed at me but I had no weight reduction. And I forget when I messed with tire pressure the first time (I think my 13.7 was before but not sure) but didn't at all the second time and got 13.802/887 as my best to runs that.

How many you plan on doing without your trick to see how much it helps this platform?

early in the night i would say 15.5 - 15.8
then later in the night once it starts to heat soak it may dip into the 16.1 - 16.5

Nah Matt, not directed to you at all. I had to put that out there just in case I get lucky on a run or two. I will only try 'my trick' on one run. I'm hoping to get 4 runs at a minimum. That's only to test regular mashing the gas pedal in 'D'. Then one run in 'S'. One run in 'L'. Then one run in 'L' with the Myxal Two-Step. I have no expectations. This is all just a learning curve at the moment. Possibly a reality check as so many people hate this tranny. Will see!

 

[maddmatt02]

I have to admit I haven't driven a CVT CivicX so the programming might make me like it a little more but my 9th Accord non sport/no paddles (I picked color over transmission) the CVT was nice for the family car/in traffic but for trying to have fun I HATED it. Then of course a couple years later Honda gave me the big F U and made the 6MT available in WOP... I actually almost got the 17 Accord sport 6mt.

Anyways back to 1/4 mile times. Good luck at the track.
