Thread: 3rd gear is sloooow...

3rd should not be slow. Especially in a b13 no excuses. You need weight reduction and a intake. pulling 3rd to red line the race should be over anyways.

sounds like u need some solonoids.........

You need to get over this third gear fixation. It's not third gear, it's your basically-stock car. Get some basic breathing mods to wake the car up and you'll be good. Third gear will still feel proportionally "slower" than first and second no matter what you do.

Or, turbocharge it. Just be advised that past 250 hp or so the tranny will become the weak link. That third gear is well known to be made of papier-mache.

I shall begin modding then!!! Thanx for the advice guys

I see what you did there.



Dudeman

You mean more power than a stock DET and more power than a modified VE. Read my sig. One B13 VE owner that got spanked even asked me if I was VVL on N1 cams. I just told him "No its just a DE on spray making more power than a VE on N1 cams"

Havent had any transmission problems spraying a 100 shot through out the gears.

And with my mods I average 35-41 MPG highway off the bottle

i agree... with vex... i've used spray before on other cars and no problem yet... it's the easy option on my case i belive...

your not going to beat a mazdaspeed 3 or a 09 civic si with a stock B13, even with bolt-on's its going to be difficult.

do the basic bolt-on's, get the car lighter and spray a 100 shot and your ready.

actually i beat the civic once ... the other one i lost by probably 1 car

k20 ain't got nothin on me...

You never answered my question. Do you have the stock intake airbox and stock header? Just an exhaust?
