I own a European Spec Honda Integra Type R (1998) with the B18C6 engine.
I use my Integra for drag racing. I've got the stock ECU and on the dyno I get 250 bhp in 3rd gear. When I try it on the road i get some wheelspin in 3rd gear with semi slicks. I have a very low gearbox because I've changed the gear ratios.
When I finish the quarter mile I'm at 8700 rpm in 4th gear and i've still got plenty of power there according to the dyno.
My problem is that whatever I do and whichever gear ratios I use the JDM Integra Type R's still get 2mph more than me with the same Elapsed Time! I worked hard to do 13.7 sec at 101mph with consistent 2.0 sec 60 foot times and an occasional 1.9 sec 60'!! The JDM ITR's seem to do 13.5 sec without effort with 2.2 and 2.1 sec 60 foot times. They even have less power on the dyno than me and the're using the same dyno as me to test their cars!
I was thinking that JDM spec ECU's have a speed limiter at 180 kph. Could the Euro Spec ECU's have some sort of power limiter when I go above a certain speed???
Thanks for your help! B)
