Ita 92 civic hatchback dx ?

What Kirk said. If you're having the rears lockup prematurely (i.e. before they "lift off" the ground on corner entry), you might want to try stock or stock equivalent pads to reduce braking torque back there.

will do. thanks guys.

During my SCCA School I locked up the rear tires ALOT, while still going straight, at turn 1 at Roebling. I scaried the hell out of my friends (and probably the students directly behind me) a number of times because of the HUGE amount of smoke the RA-1s were throwing up. I ended up replaceing the 913's from carbotech with Advance auto parts "good" shoes. That alleaviated the lock up problem in the rear. I'll just have to keep an eye on them and keep an extra set of shoes around just incase.

Our '92 H/B has completed its transition into an ITB DX. Drivetrain is built and dyno'd. On a brand new motor, it did ~4-5whp less than the typical "average hp/lb" ratio of ITB. I'm hoping that after I get it out and run a weekend on it, it'll break in some more and that power number will come up a little bit. As it is, you're not winning an ARRC in it. I may take it out, shake it down, and break it in at Mid Ohio during the Friday test day before the May 22-23rd National. If I do, we'll see how it's breaking in and how it's doing.

if you were 4-5 shy that means you were at

2345lb/17(lb/hp)-5hp * 0.85(to convert to from hp to whp)

~113whp?

113.3whp to be exact. Torque was real close to the same number. I'd love to just make the "average" of ~117-118whp, as you know it'll be one of the better handling and braking cars out there. It'll come up a little as it gets broken in, but we'll have to wait and see how much.

out of curiosity, Kevin is this an all out build or "standard bolt-ons with a well done engine rebuild,chipped P06, etc?"

what ECU, header, etc... got you there? I'm happy to hear that the car is close to the target, especially given that it was weighted with larger than the standard expected gain (16v and all that).

keep it up!
