What sort of gains should I see in my 96 GS-R if I add a dc sports 4-1 header and a skunk2 intake manifold? I've got a J's Racing intake and custom 2.5" exhaust.

 

5-8 hp

 

Just remember to tune after that to get the most out of your mods.

tuning is crazy, A good way to use money wisely, you will notice many gains

Read up on that and search for I/H/E Tune on Team Integra.

He'd probably get a larger power gain from tuning the car with all stock equipment, than just bolting on those mods and not tuning.

Maybe it's just me but 25 seems a little high unless he is using an RMF, SMP, or something along those lines.

And even then it still seems high , I think from those mods its more like 2-3 hp w/o tune 7-10 with tune at the most .

 

I've seen gains of 15 HP for tuning with boltons alone. Don't count on much more. And if you have a person that really knows what they are doing, then the gains will increase.

 

Look At My Sig. I Made 165WHP & 121WTQ With A AEM Type R CAI, JG 65mm TB, Skunk2 I.M., JG 4-2-1 Header With 2-1/4" Collector, 2-1/4" Carsound Cat, And 2-1/4" Exhaust, 165WHP With JUST Bolt-On's, I've Seen Stock Gs-Rs Baseline At Less Than 140WHP, Therefore That Is How I Am Coming Up With A Figure Of 25 WHP W/ Good Tuning, From Personal Experience

 

Its going to be hard to say exactly how much of a gain you'll see from tuning or from those parts. Everyone will get different results from tuning depending upon the type of dyno, weather, elevation, tuner capabilities, etc. There are too many variables.

But the fact is you will notice some gains, with a competent tuner. Even though your peak WHP might not be a significant increase, you might gain more midrange, better idle, and an overall better running car. Which your car will thank you for.

Thanks... I'm probably getting a chipped obd1 this weekend as well.
