So far i have a v2 intake and tomorrow i am ordering evo2 exhaust and dc headers. I was wondering what else i could do to see good gains in hp(besides boost)? Would it be worth it for me to get hondata or some other kind of chip? just looking for some suggestions...sorry if this sounds kind of noob haha cause thats what i am

 

what engine do you have?

 

H22 its a 97

 

There is a thread in the FAQ part at the top of this forum that has all this type of information.

 

go with a fogger of NOS that will make some huge power....i bet that v2 sounds sick doesnt it???

 

Thanks but not really looking to spray...but yeah the v2 sounds insane when you hit vtec...i know some people say its not worth the money but imo it def is i love the sound of it.

 

If you are set on going with dc headers, think about modifying the collector to 2.5"

Think things through. Once you do these mods, will you be satisfied? Is that all you want to do? If you want to build a lot more power, you will need a better header than dc and a 2.5 exhaust system.

 

yea dude if youre trying to get hp out of bolt-ons stay away from DC Sports crap

unless import tuner and hci told you they were Da BoMb Yo

 

Def not set on dc headers...i was just told they where a good header....what would you guys suggest?

 

Uh oh!!!! NOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

let me just keep this thread civil by saying search

 

not again? I have searched and i thought alot of people use dc headers? I dont understand you said not to get dc so does it really take more than a few seconds to make a few suggestions? if your just gonna say search why even bother posting? im sorry but i just dont get that

 

dude look for a thread titled bad *** header and youll see

it was a bloodbath that spawned from a question like yours

everyone has diff opinions about a few custom header guys

and yea alot of people use dc..it doesnt mean it gives u alot of hp for the buck
kinda like that would you jump off a bridge if your friends did deal

 

and by the way whats with the sig with my quote it in it? did i say something stupid sorry i thought NOS was spray maybe i was wrong.

You would understand what he was talking about if you did search. Search for h22 header or header question... anything like that will help you out. There are posts like yours once every two hours. You must understand that if you frequent this site, it gets old seeing the SAME questions at the top of every page in each forum. The best way to use h-t is to search and read and read and read, and learn and read...etc... and if you have questions on the way, pose them, and we'll help you out. We are not just here to please people who would rather ask than do any research themselves.

 

alrigh thanks and i completely understand where youre coming from and i have researched...and that isnt really what my post was originally about its just that a comment was made about the header i was thinking of so i thought i would just ask for a suggestion...sorry if i caused any problems

and a standalone fuel management system...not a bad way to blow ten thousand bucks

 

Tell you the truth, h22a4's will not give you the power you crave. The engine is simply not big enough for a 3000 pounder.

horrible reply.... Yes, the big block of honda 4 cylinders (excluding the tsx) is not big enough to make the power you crave. Very ignorant statement. Good job

I know what your original post was because I read it. I am just saying that there are plenty of answers out there to the questions you asked in your post and that you should spend a little time sifting through this site to find what you are looking for, and then ask some questions about stuff if something seems unclear.

There is plenty of power to be made with the h22. You will realize that once you start looking around.
