I was crusing to work the other day and this dude in a b16 hatch pulls up from behind and revs the shit out of his car. It was a 5thgen, I look over thinking what a douche bag. I only knew it was a b-series swap because it didn't sound like a SOHC does, so i asked what he had. He had an Si swap header/exhaust, "racering radiator", and CAI. Me in my little 4 door that was looking like complete crap with a black front bumper and no side skirts and steelies on the front reved back but not enough to make the BOV go off. I just wanted him to think I was a regular ricer. We both got good launches and were pretty even though 1st but my 1st gear was much shorter than his. After He shifted into 2nd I began to take a small lead. As soon as I shifted into 3rd when my gears get longer and I can really build boost I gained proabbly 2 1/2 or so cars. Not bad for a d17a2 on stock injectors with an SF FMU on 6psi. This was the 1st hatch swapped hatch I beat on this setup, in fact the only one ive raced. But I have beaten an LS/Vtec frankenstein Interga with Header, Exhasut, CAI and a chip with this setup. It was about the same outcome.

Apprently a guy in an EVO XIII must have seen this, and pulled up next to me at the next light after the hatch gave a thumbs up and turned. Guys says that was a nice run wanna go against me? not those exact words but to that extent. I look over laugh and say yeah your gonan kill me. I ask him what he has, and downpipe/exhaust, boost controller, bigger injectors, BOV, and Dyno tunned with some kind of electronic tunning. Then I say why not I've lost before after turboing my civic but have yet to been against a car such out of my class. SO basically as soon as the light turns green he takes off, as any AWD should. And just kills me.

I just got my E-manage in this week, and have installed the PnP adapeter and boost sensor. As soon as I get my Greddy Cable I can load my map in I made and work off those and tune it with a wide band. I'll be boosting at 8 daily and be able to switch it over to 12-13 with my dual boost controller if I really wanna give somebody a run. Then im going to dyno tune it as soon as I know I can get my dyno time to about 2 hours, cause im broke.

your gears aren't long enough to build decent boost in 1st or 2nd??? that's weird.

and wtf does that evo need injectors for if that's all he has

Well in first it almost nevers builds boost. It wil lboost uyp to 4-5 in 2nd, and full boost in 3rd. It is like this because As a turbo is spooling at like 70k rpm or somethign liek that. And it takes time to spool, so it dosen;t fully spool until 3rd. As the the Evo i have no clue not my car.
