what do you think was the best dollar for hp mod you did to your b16a??

 

I put header, because bolt on wise, that is the best hp gainer you will get. However in all aspect, clutch/flywheel has to be a tie or at least a close second. Aftermarket clutches like ACT and Exedy grab awesome and just make the feel so much better. A good lightweight flywheel will make your B-16A rev like a bike and pull harder as well. If you go with a flywheel, get a chromoly flywheel like a Toda or ACT.

 

my best mod was a properly tuned ecu.

i down graded (if you can really call it that!) from obd-2b to obd-1 and then tuned it

was a more noticeable improvement than my other mods at the time.

but in accordance with your poll,
i guess i would chose a full race header
otherwise i wouldnt bother

but thats just me

 

No option for turbo? That was my best hp/dollar investment.

 

well i got a intake.. oem header.. exhaust.. blox manifold.. fuel rail.. and fpr.. i noticed the best gains off the fpr.. but i'm sure it's only because of those mods.. so i'm a firm believer in getting a fpr after doing any mods.

 

For price and ease of installation I would say header, I got one but have just been too lazy to put it on, gonna try and do that this weekend, no matter what.

 

clutch doesnt add hp, id say a turbo kit.

agreed with^^^... turbo all the way

 

the reason i didnt say turbo is that i just wanted to do simple bolt ons.

if i was covering turbo, i could have said cams, pistons, b18 block and all that stuff. i just wanted too keep it simple. i have a generic intake and a shitty exhaust and was just wanting to know what the next mod should be

and i know the clutch dosent help with hp so to say, but a good clutch and flywheel and help get power from the motor to the wheels

thanks for all the replys! keep them coming

 

fpr I have a flywheel, CTR pulley, AEBS mani, header blah blah. On the dyno made 22 whp between the fpr and timing adjustments

 

What the heck happen to cams?!
That's my vote

 

where is b18 block

 

I think the header was the best choice given, my best upgrade is ITR pistons, or my GSR cams but I take it you want a bolt on upgrade.

 

I got a AEM Hybrid intake and a Kamikaze header, but gotta love the intake!!!

 

a 3 inch cai will make good power gains on a b16..unfortunately i dont think any company makes one...im trying to get a group order on custom made ones..but your battery would have to be relocated...pm me if ur interested..

 

the fpr sounds like a good idea.

thanks again for all the replies!!

keep them coming!!!!

 

I vote for a test pipe by far....$100 bux and gain a good amount of power, i gained 15whp and 5 lbs trq from putting on a test pipe. I had a dc header b4 when i first dynoed, and dynoed crappy...when i opened up the exhaust more with the test pipe is where i really saw the #'s jump. Now all i need to do is finish it off with the full cat-back

 

cams

all that from just a test pipe?
I hate to call BS but can you get the dnyos up I have never heard of gains that high from a test pipe.

Were your gains only at top end any losses?

Not trying to be mean just shocked by this

 

haha the only way i can think a test pipe making 15 whp is if the previous cat was clogged

 

when you guys say cams, are you talking about ctrs, sk2s2, toda, blox, gsr,

also, if i were to put ctr pistons in my b16a, would i have to get it tuned or can it go just as is

 

I say get some GOOD headers(rmf,ssr,hytech,smsp,anr to name a few) then a intake, and a exhaust and something to tune with.

 

Exhaust by far.

Crush bent 2.25 inch exhaust and a test pipe dropped me nearly a full second in the 1/4 (15.1 to 14.3).

getting thee perfect sawp....the ZC

 

wow headers really... you think it makes that big of a dif... I guess if you not looking for a big increase in power... what kind of gains are you guys getting from just headers I'm just curious.
