Default free hp for your crx?

could anyone validate how true is the below technique to gain that little extra hp from your stock engine?

1.) index your spark plug
2.) relocate IAT sensor
3.) isolate fuel lines
4.) by pass coolant on t/b


the one im kinda worried about is relocating IAT sensor? for a dx model where is the IAT located?

nothing on that list will work except maybe the spark plugs indexing. Depending on your application running a different temperature spark plug will help.

i'm getting ready to do #4 to my car and i know i'll make a few hp. I plan on removing the fitv and making a block off plate, the iacv will stay and the hoses will be looped w/o coolant. I'm also getting a hondata IM gasket which will make the coolant bypass mod more effective. The only way heat will be able to transfer to my IM is through the studs. It's proven to reduce intake air temps.

All it suppose to do is read a lower air tempature so it throughs more fuel in. like tricking it. its the white sensor on the intake manifold.

I think it's in the top of the 3rd thing for our b2s, but don't do it, it's no good. It'll just get you bad gas mileage and run you rich. Free power = timing, also.
