a Vuddy of mine has a GSR swap in his 95 civic..but for some reason running 17s. he is in 3rd gear at the end of the 1/4 and doing bout 83 mph. could it be the tranny is made for top end or a LS tranny?

Not getting traction? Can't drive? Engine is fuxored? Hard to diagnose the problem without a timeslip.

I don't understand the last part of your post, but if you're saying he has an LS tranny, then yea, that could be a problem too.

Longest B series transmission...that could be part of the problem.

My car with minor bolt ons ran a low 15...and i believe a 99 Civic is heavier than a 95. I would check the tranny....because i ran a 17 flat after i spun all 1st and 2nd and shifted way to early into 3rd...bogged to about 3500 rpms. It could be alot of different things

still should be faster than a 17 even with and ls trans . plus i think ls's are faster than that

umm, a GSR swapped civic running 17's.... check the driver

Ouch. funny though.

im not trying to be mean haha im really not... but i dont think theres "something wrong" with his motor.... i think i'd be able to tell if my b18c1 felt slower than a d16, or if it was bogging... i really believe its just the driver... and the transmission question.... even with longer gears, i dont think it would cause a whole second and a half in the 1/4 mile, do you? or maybe im wrong

Time for a tune-up?

well, maybe it is the driver..who knows. ive riden in that car and the top end is outrageous. you can get to 130 mph no problem. is there a certain method of launching?
