You need to peddle it a little and unfortunately short shift in both the top of 1st and 2nd, yeah not having say another 400-500rpm sucks as you have to shift into 3rd. But yeah 100% get those R888R on and it’ll make loads of difference I’m sure 🙌 great video fella!

[@davemorris6747]

Absolutely agree. I’ve done faster pulls by changing up short of the Rev limiter. I also find hot tyres helps a lot. Some of my best hooked pulls have been after I’ve been driving at 70 mph and pull up at a set of lights. If I’m just driving around locally although the car is up to temp the tyres aren’t as I’ve only been cruising around at low speeds.

@@TacticalToolbox you 100% should get the Hasport 62A's... NIGHT AND DAY difference. The launches will feel so much better and it firms up everything. Even the shifting will improve.

If Acuity released a detent and selector spring, Id go Acuity over Hybrid, but last I checked, Acuity didnt have a FK8 spring kit yet.

Don’t just dump the clutch when launching , try feathering it just a little right at the engagement point. This will definitely need to happen when you get the 888s. Also 1800 might be too low of rpm.

The type r's in the drag racing clips, kinda sound like an ecoboost. The lower compression turbo engines. Also for your 0-60, maybe you should try not red lining your 1st gear so much, and bouncing it off the limiter for a split sec. Maybe that could help you out a little.

Small correction. There is now also the XDI replacement high pressure fuel pump. With the stock, OEM injectors and OEM tank fuel pump, this is capable of producing around 480 HP.

The XDI fuel pump is also capable up to 8500 RPM, according to their website information. I read elsewhere that is better to limit it to 7800 RPM, but I cannot recall where I read that.

[@Fk8_Theory]

Your shifting is much improved!!

[@koifish1le996]

from my experience launching the car, at redline it cuts throttle so when you smack the limiter at each shift for anything more than a few tenths of a second, you lose nearly half a second in the 0-60. you can tell by the pitching of the camera angle that the car is pitching forward before the shifter even moves, this is showcasing the throttle cut. shifting at 5700 works best from what i found, especially since the power kinda fades off after 5252 rpm

[@TORQToolbox]

That's really good to know man, I'll try that

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

I bet if you would have done before and after 60-130 testing where traction isn’t a factor as much, you’d notice a much better improvement. These new turbo k series motors are way more torquey than the old n/a motors were. A good set of Toyo r888r’s would help a ton as well.

[@Ferny8800]

you should get a gauge for the ethanol since the hondata apps reads via bluetooth theres a delay.

[@ecoboost04]

I wouldnt spend much time chasing 0-60 times when modding a turbo fwd car. Once you keep adding power, that number will eventually stay the same or deminish/get worse due to traction. Thats why people will ask for the 60-130 times, really shows how the cars parts and tune work together and pull it through the powerband.

Couldn't believe it. I prefer just sticking to roll races now.

[@DanVilla7]

Then car pulls real hard, I feel a lot of your issue with time is your waiting to long to shift. Banging the rev limiter is just costing you time also cutting fuel as well. Try shifting 2-300 rpm earlier I can almost guarantee it will help reduce your times My Accord 2.0t with a sub and child seats in it ran a 5.4 0-60 with a ktuner and catted downpipe. I know your car is way quicker

[@JacesOwnWorld]

I never launch my FWD MK7 GTI 6spd manual IS38 400whp because: 1. It just hurts the clutch so much and not worth a clutch upgrade just to launch the car 2. No matter how well you do on the launch in the street, the 0-60mph time will always be slow compared to a RWD or AWD setup. My stock E46 M3 did 4.8 seconds all day long, with less power than my modified MK7 GTI, all because it’s RWD. 2. No matter the tire mods, suspension, how well you launch it, it will always be slow. So for these reasons, I only focus on what it’s good at, and thats roll races.

People want to argue how you can setup a FWD car to launch wel, and then talk about drag strip times when discussing street driven vehicles. Well, I find that odd because drag strip vs the street are completely different scenarios haha, but to put it in perspective, the CTR that did a 10.2 at the drag for the world record, if a RWD car had the same power as that CTR, the time would be in the 9’s.

The gear ratios on most Honda's are not for the best 0-60 times. More like for taking off from a dead stop on a hill with a fully loaded car without the need to slip the clutch, making a shift to third necessary to reach 60. It's high time Honda made 1st and 2nd gear taller. Soo...when u add power, they just spin like crazy. They now have high torque motors and do not need short lower gears. A 0-80 or 1/4 mile time would be more representative of your added power. I know your trying to keep things legal on the street. Enjoy!
