I have a 99 gsr hatch with is stock. I hit 14.4 at the track with street tires-khumos. I have :

skunk2 intake manifold
3" short ram w/ foam filter
2" exhaust with high flow cat
P28 chip/9k
DC 4-2-1 header
aem fuel rail
aem fuel filter
gsr fuel pump
h22 throttle body
gsr radiator
b&m fuel regulator
everything else is stock

Is there anything else I can upgrade externally with out internal upgrades on the engine?

yeah get a fidanza flywheel and upgrade the clutch you will really love the way it revs then. also don't forget about nitruos

 

I'm talking about stuff like bigger injectors or throttle body? would those make a difference with my setup?

 

i did a 13.8 with a bone stock GSR in my hatch you should be running a lil faster then what you are

 

The biggest difference will come from proper tuning that chipped ecu is a joke - hondata ect.

my daly driver b16 with bolts on befoe and after s100 tuning - oh and the gs mileage is way better too

 

if your trying not to spend alot of money and get alittle more power look at getting a better header something like the megan 4-1 you can find them for around $150-$200 new.a diy ground kit, lighter fly wheel/ clutch,alittle big exhaust like 2'' 1/2,intakemanifold like blox, sk2 you can find them on the board all the time for good prices. and no the injectors and throttle body will not help you; your car is stock still. and look into hondata and get it tuned .

 

true 2 1/2 exhaust, throw away that header and get an rmf, get hondata (chrome, uberdata) which ever and clutch and flywheel and ul be in 13's easily

 

hondata and get rid of that POS header

second.

add, get a j's style intake. like the password jdm one, and kteller exhaust w/ straight through oval muffler. check sponsors section for deals..

and also some better tires. whether you want to get drag radials, or street slicks.

 

Cold Air intake, Hondata, better header.

**** the j's inatke i lost 12whp and 8 tq at the wheels **** that get something like the aem type r intake if any.

 

did you get it tuned? what was your setup

 

sell your gsr tranny and use that money + $300 and get a b16 or itr tranny. You can also add a 4.7fd to your current gsr tranny.

I have not gotton it tuned yet. Just ran with what I got. I will have to invest in a fuel management system then...

 

i was talking to the guy above my last post.

 

bro get some slick i ran 14.2 on a bone stock ls just had b16 tranny blox man. slick 22/15/8 MT non lsd and enegry bushing inserts in the motor mount no internals. And my 13.8 on couple dx 2000 w/gsr same set up

j's intake blows for drag racing...to many dyno sheets where aem cai just kills j's from about 5k on....i myself own a real j's intake and went back to my aem cai...

 

If i am reading your mods correctly then u don't have any upgraded cams. Are you reving to 9k? If so, I am sure that is Killing you. Your cams aren't worth a **** over 8200rpms and probably be better shifting a little lower than that. Not to mention you don't have an upgraded valve train. Get some cams, cam gears, valve train. RM22 with chip and valve train are around 1k and some cam gears are around $110(aem 5 bolts). Then if you have money up grade the exhaust system. Then tune it! I know u said no internal work but u will need some for more power and that is minimal internal work.

 

as stated above. a good cam package like the Rocket m22x will do you good too...

 

Most over looked is SUSPENSION. Get some full coilovers($~650) and polyurethane motor mounts($50)....eliminate that wheel hop. Sway/tie bars too! Don't know if u have power steering or A/C but eliminating the belts would be FREE HP! Hell dropin the A/C would be some weight too. Depends on what u wanna do.

 

get a traction bar and drag radials..stage 1 axles..ctr crank pulleyand tune with hondata...good luck
