went up to the track w/ heather’s old civic. stock h swap, dc header, a jeff special cat back. best i could do is 14.8. i seem to not like 4th gear. i cant find the bitch at speed. my 14.8 i missed going into 4th twice. my 2nd and last run, i did it again, butchering 4th shift. i seriously may be able to run the track w/ 3 gears if i shift a little higher. regardless, the car needs a h2b setup, i hate the notchy h shifters. and i need more seat time on the drag strip. im rusty ---

For reference with your run (stock H22 in my EK hatch, first time on a track), I pulled 9.2 1/8ths on bad street tires, launching just under 5k, shifting @ 8k. I’ve seen a lot of people say that H22’s quit breathing over 8k, but I haven’t been on a dyno or seen a decent sheet to show that. ---

I assume that h22 has its correct h22 trans? out of all the h’s i’ve worked with, i’ve never had any 4th gear engagment problems. What I believe helps the shifting is to strap the cables down in the most places you can. Usually civic h22 swaps you loose that rear crossmember cable mount that accords and ludes come with. I’m still firmly against H2B… I’ve had just as many B trans problems as H’s, so all that money for the kit isnt worth it to me. Do you have IAB still running on the swap? that has a little to with making power in a lower vtec engagement. I ususally setup the butterflys to straight vacuum so they are open with WOT. Move the vtec down and your power will come in better at the crossover. ---
