  • The Full Send Turbo Civic finally gets drag slicks! I have wanted to install drag slicks on my turbo Honda Civic for years, but I have been spending most of my time replacing blown motors. Today I finally install a set of 24.5x9 13" slicks on my Honda Civic. I can't wait to see how hard this thing pulls when I get it down to Florida to do some serious drag racing.

    The first ride height would have been safer. Take into account decel and braking at the end of the track, your front springs look really soft and the fender might make contact with the tire

    • @boosted_john

      Interesting point. I think I’ll be fine, but if that happens, I’ll raise the height at the track.

  • @Richie_RHD

    just finished the video, it appears what your trying to accomplish is a fuel cut by tricking the ecu into thinking you are braking on decel? if this is the case to no lift shift the cut must be with ignition. one way to accomplish this is by running the 12v signal wire from the ecu, to a 3 way toggle switch, to the center prong, then pick a direction and run a wire from another prong to the ignition coil of the dizzy, this in essence is a completed circuit as it was previous, now what you can do is run the other prong to the clutch switch, then out of the clutch switch to the ignition coil as well, so when you flip the toggle switch to the "NLS" side the circuit goes from ecu to toggle center then down to clutch switch then from clutch switch to ignition coil. this will allow you to break that circuit when you activate the clutch switch, the back feed from the clutch switch wire to the other toggle wire will run a dead end and be fine. This will all work as described on one condition.... the clutch switch works as a closed circuit when pressed "foot off the clutch" and open circuit when the switch extends.. i cant remember which direction the switch is. if its behind the arm or in front of(firewall side). if it is factory behind the arm this will not work and you will have to install a switch or modify the clutch switch to operate as the aforementioned design, otherwise the ignition will cut without the clutch pressed and operate with it depressed (opposite of that your after) there is ways around this like mounting the clutch switch on the backside of the arm but requiring it to flex with the throw of the arm after being depressed (ford brake switch operate like this for reference) or find a comparable style switch to mount in the factory hole, leaving your circuit looped in rest and open on pedal press........ i hope this all made some kind of sense... or finally you can get a strain gauge for the shifter to cut ignition when shifting. personally id go that direction but either way you do it, with a syncroed setup, your going to wear the trans out pretty quick. dogboxes arent cheap, but worth. i went from a 9.55 to 8.9 same setup jsut from a helical syncro setup to a straight cut dogbox.

    @danzamp9761 Рік тому +3

    I'm pretty sure you just need to use only the clutch switch and it will fix your problem.
    Clutch switches are a normally closed circuit meaning a complete circuit until the switch is depressed. Brake light switches are normally open circuit so pressing the brake pedal closes the circuit and brake lights come on. Hope this helps

  • @micknaughty
    @micknaughty Рік тому +4

    Seems like you'd need a relay to send a +12 signal to the switch when you press the clutch in by grounding the relay circuit. Or have the clutch switch complete the circuit for the ground of the switch when pressed and have the switch always +12 active. But not knowing the exact parts being used I cant say for sure. I assume what ever activates the rpm limiter for flat foot needs to see a +/- to activate. That would decide how you wire the pedal switch really.

    • @gabewilson81
      @gabewilson81 Рік тому

      actually way simpler than that. you have 2 wires off the clutch safety switch, bypass the switch by splicing the two wires together since you dont need it anyway. now you have 2 wires off the switch itself. one goes to ground, the other goes into one of hondatas switched ground inputs, and then you set the correct input to turn on flat foot shifting. anytime that input sees a ground it will trigger the flat foot shifting limiter (may have to check the box that inverts the input in hondata)

    Ride height can still go down a little bit if you ask me. Clutch shifting is actually the handicap compared to nlts. Running an 11 on your setup should be really easy. I'd almost bet you could run a 11.3 or so

      @Boosted John launch at 6.5k slip clutch a little while loading on the ebrake. Go for a 1.6 60ft with 7psi in slicks. Will probably scare you first time. It's a rush lol

    • @TurboChris90
      @TurboChris90 Рік тому +1

      Yup, I agree, this car should run 11s no problem. That is of course after you get the preloading down. First time at the track with slicks can be a bit shocking haha, nothing like actually having some traction…it’s a whole nother animal with slicks. Good luck and have fun.

    So when you were rolling it thought you were shifting that's why the limiter, was working backwards, you need to get factory cruise cancel switch it goes in front of pedal and will open as soon as your pressing pedal not all the way down.
