These vehicles started out with Inline Pro's desired to have a competitive car in every all motor class and to provide a test bed for new products before they are released to their customers. Team Inline Pro and been successful in building vehicles that qualify in the top of their appropriate fields with their 12, 11, and 10 seconds vehicles.
Fred Highland's 12-second 1995 Acura Integra
Fred Highland's 12-second 1995 Acura Integra has been competing in the Street stock class for the last 4 seasons. Last year he was undefeated at every event he attended. Last season, his car was his only mode of transportation to work and to the events which demonstrates the reliability of Inline Pro's combination. The Integra is powered by a B18A with a B16 cylinder head. Inline Pro chooses to run these blocks because they have the deck height and clearance for the stroker crankshafts and are inexpensive to purchase. Inline Pro built the motor with the Inline Pro sleeves and head gasket combination along with a 95mm Eagle crankshaft and rods with custom 84mm Arias pistons. The inline teams runs Honda OEM water pumps, timing belts, and oil pumps in all there vehicles and has found no problems revving these engines to 9000-10000rpm reliably. The block is top off with a Portflow cylinder head with using OEM Honda Type-R valves and inline pro springs with titanium retainers. The cams are a custom set made by Comp Cams for Inline Pro. The Edelbrock intake manifold has been reworked by inline pro and has a 70mm throttle body. To put the power to the ground Inline Pro uses a stock JDM Type-R transmission in conjunction with a Competition Clutch twin disk linked to a set of Stage-5 axles from the Driveshaft Shop. For the fuel injection setup an Inline pro 225lph intank fuel pump with Inline pro 370cc injectors controlled by a Hondata S200 unit. Team Inline Pro uses Hondata in all their race cars and has found it very easy to work with and find power on their in house Dynojet.
Peter and Tommy Chan's 11- second 1992 Honda Civic
The civic is powered by a B18A with a GSR cylinder head. Inline Pro built the motor with Inline Pro sleeves along with a 95mm Eagle Crankshaft and Rods with a custom 86mm Arias Pistons mated to a Inline Pro 86mm Custom head gasket. The Block is toped off with a Portflow cylinder head with custom Comp Cams and OEM Honda valves using Inline Pro valve springs and titanium retainers. The intake manifold is stock Type-R with a 70mm throttle body. The power is put to the ground via a stock JDM Type-R transmission with a 4.78 final drive with a Ram Revolution clutch and Stage-2 Driveshaft Shop axles. For the fuel injection setup an Inline pro 225lph intank fuel pump with Inline pro 370cc injectors controlled by a Hondata S100 unit.
Jeremy Allen's 10-second 1995 Honda Civic
Jeremy's all motor cars have been progressing over his seasons of racing. His first car a 1992 Honda Civic hatchback street car ran a best time of 12.02 @ 109mph two years ago in Maryland. Last season He campaigned a 1995 Honda Civic hatch in IDRC's All motor class and became the IDRC East Coast All Motor Champion. His best time last year was 11.34 @ 117mph which was not the quickest car in the field, but with consistency and reliability on his side it would almost always put him into the finals. For this year he was able to get a lighter chassis when last years car was made into a back up quick class car. With the lighter chassis and some new engine combinations he was able to run in the 10's. The engine is a 2.3 liter B18A with a GSR cylinder head. The motor was assembled by Jeremy with a custom 99mm crankshaft with Eagle rods and custom 86mm Ross Pistons. The Deck height remains the same on the B18A even with the large stroke. Most people would be concerned about the rod ratio and being able to rev the engine, but they have not had a problem revving the motor to 9800rpm reliably. The Portflow cylinder head uses custom Comp Cams and stock OEM Honda valves with Inline Pro valve springs and retainers. The exhaust exits through a custom RS Machine header. The Intake Manifold was originally made for Inline Pro's turbo car, but it netted 15hp on the dyno over a ported OEM GSR manifold which is an impressive gain at the wheels in an all motor car. Power is transmitted by a twin disc Competition Clutch to a Type-R transmission with a Quaife LSD and ATS-USA 4.92 final drive and gear set connected to Stage-5 axles from the Driveshaft shop. Olympic Auto Parts supplied all of Inline Pros cars with NGK spark plugs and wires. The fuel system uses Inline Pro 1000cc injectors to support Methanol controlled by a Hondata S200. The completion of Inline Pro's desire to have a competitive car in every all motor class would not have been possible with out their skilled staff Sam, Jason, Mat, Brian, Stan, Ted, and John.
