I see this guy all the time after I get out at work. Last time we meet he smoked me pretty good 2-3 cars by 3rd gear. Well that was when I had my CEL problems. I fixed those and now the car felt better but I couldnt really tell or measure it against anything. Last night I got my chance, he took of while in front of me so I decided to drop it and follow, well to my surprise I was pacing with him pretty good over 100mph.
Then we get a light, we both just take off normally then punch it. He pretty much gets a car ahead of me off the start but it stayed about a car lenght behind till the top of 3rd...rather than 3 car lenghts :) All he says he has done is a chip. I think he is a friend of someone on this borad. He has the modoptions sticker on the side and it's a white Jetta.
I will be adding a CTR intake cam and a new muffler once my return gets here and then it will hit the dyno...yeah yeah no boost yet but I need to take care of some debt before I blow it on the car again.

Yeah, stock 1.8t's are kinda bs. My friend had one and I could beat him 50% of the time with my accord. But now he has a P Chip, BOV, new trubo, down pipe, and a few other things and he spanks people left and right. My friend in his GSR with CAI/H/EX can't keep up with him.

Neuspeed doesn't make a p-chip for an upgraded turbo.
Steve, I wonder if this is the guy that you raced, then he claimed he had an upgraded turbo....lol

a stock 1.8t should beat a gsr with those mods....at least at this altitude

dnvr, where you cruising around 104th last night? I saw an older black volvo and it tried to play with my civic(I got lazy and didnt race).
Actually I am the guy. I have a chip (APR), Half a cai (the other half got stolen at a car show), and a forge 007. She is quick. Yet I usually dont take her as far as I can. I always race you when Im leaving work.
Yes your civic is doin pretty well. I think Im going to do my turbo back exhaust soon. That should help the performance of the car a little. I also found a heck of a deal on a new turbo and manifold. Both for about 700. Plus a bosst controller. I should be fine at about a level 1 - 1.1 bar. Ill also be looking into swapping out the injectors for slightly larger ones. My goal is only around 300 hp.
Its been fun racing you man.
And my name is spelled Sean Murray.
I dont really know anyone off of here. Plus most of you hate me and my good friend Casper. I help him run www.COSR.com.
Either way its always fun to give someone a run. I guess next time Ill try taking her up to 7100 instead of 5600 while racing you, Never hurts to experiment.
Oh I forgot, she is a 2001 VW Jetta Wolfy AWW. so yeah I had no issues with gsr's when I was stock.

Yeah before my civic was in limp mode with all these check engine codes (knock sensor, 02). I was racing you with a few problems that finally got corrected. If I see you again we should go from a launch, even though you would beat me but it's all good. I just wanna see how much a difference the cam made.
5600 :D had to rub it in a little didn't you! I wish I was pushing double digit boost levels...
Hope to see ya after work again ;) Always get home faster that way...
Also I have a B16 not a GSR motor if that is what you where refering too in the last post...

me thinks his civic is doing pretty damn good to even stay close to a boosted car with a little more engine,especially since he has no boost.
Ted---get boost-you wont regret it-
i know you had problems trying out a supercharger,but it's worth the effort
i want to try a little experiment with my hatchie this summer
try supercharger/turbo combo
i need to build the engine up more first

I always take my Jetta up to 7100 when I am racing someone. IT really does put you back in the powerband better after a shift. If I see you around we will have to run man, I drive a white AWP 1.8T Jetta. I have a Forge 007, CAI, APR chip and ATP 3 inch DP. Ted just race me:D But remind me to shut off my traction control, I always forget.:) What kind of exhaust you thinking of going with? My next upgrades are a front mount and upgraded turbo.
Uncertain as to the company yet. I want a 3" turbo back. I just wannt it in place for when I actually upgrade the turbo..
Im going to price my exhaust both custom made and online order. weigh goods and bads. then eventually buy it. Just havent had time. I do a lot of coding recently. So that equates to me having little time
