What is the best setup for good reliable midrange power?

 

What RPM range is considered mid-range anyway?

An intake, JDM header, and hi-flow cat would be a good start.

 

A drop-in filter, JDM 4-2-1 Header, cat, and exhaust at first.

 

I would say between 3,000 and 5,000 RPM Range.

 

A B20 Block.....

 

I'll give the inevitable JRSC option. Great low and mid range power, it's like a completely different car. I can be cruising in fifth gear at 75mph and just punch it with no downshift. 100mph is only seconds away.

The downside? It's hard to tune right, expensive, needs a lot of additional parts (some of which aren't cheap), and doesn't make the top end power as advertised.

 

as far as basic bolt-ons go, do what b2fin said. You can also put some cam gears on and get some tuning done as well as ignition timing.

 

no kidding.

 

LOL. Made my day.

 

budget setup:
AEM shortram intake, JDM ITR 4-1 header, carsound cat, apexi ws exhaust, aem cam gears, port flow titanium retainers, portflow springs

screw the budget and do it right set up
AEM CAI, ported TB & intake manifold, SMSP header, carsound 2.5in cat, smsp exhaust, Jun type 2 cams + cam gears, Jun valvetrain, bore ITR block to 84mm & GE sleeves with Endyn pistons, eagle rods

Spoon Cams and AEM cold air intake.

 

the AEM is *** for low/mid-range power...ever seen a dyno plot of one?

The best intake system for mid-range is a Comptech Icebox.

 

Toda Spec B's. +20 hp is common below VTEC.

the mugen airbox is good for mid-range..i sat in a friends car when he installed it. noticable difference.
Also, someone recommended Spoon cams..its a good recommendation. Spoon cams offer loads of mid range power..i gained substantially on my f/i setup..and i have seen dynoplots of ppl with spoon cams compared to stock.

 

JRSC...what else for low-mid? Do we think we're smarter than the Honda engineers? I don' think so boys.

 

1 word


NNAAAAWWWWZZZZZZZZ,

 

That Mugen airbox isn't cheap!

 

midrange power? mustang cobra with 200shot of nos. reliable? ooops!

 

Ive seen more than one dynoplot of AEM/ICEMAN intakes , Dont forget I mentioned SPOON cams also.

(click on link under sig. and than on dyno tests, check under acura )

... the last part of what B18cKiller said

 

I`m happy with drop in filter, 421 header, bigger t/b and crower stage 2 cams..(street/ralley)

Still untuned but noticible harder pull between 4000 and 6000 rpm.
