Get the hondata IMG and the Throttle body heat gasket this will add a few ponies on the dyno by reducing the heat transfer to those area's thats all i can think really there are no tuning programs out yet.

 

You could get a throttle body spacer, throttle body gasket and intake manifold gasket as stated.

You're pretty much maxed out for bolt ons.

 

are you looking for just bolt-ons ?

mods you could do :

port matching

turbo kits

supercharger kits

full engine builds inc... pistons con rods valve train

NOS

you could get an EMS and have it tuned

and i see your trying to make horsepower have you thought about upgrading your brakes too whats the point of have a butt load of power if you cant control it LOL

 

ive seen dyno shets and have talk to tuners about the hondata intake mainifold gaskets and have not seen to much gain from them maybe 2hp dont waste your money

 

peak 2whp is not much
but if its in that range throughout the entire rpm then its worth 55 bucks

 

If this is a bad post delete, otherwise meh

Cheap, flat rate gain throughout.

Of course gaskets don't net a huge hp gain. But it helps control temps/seals. Your motor is only as strong as it's weakest link, quality parts no matter how small are important.

 

Now that your car can better inhale and exhale the brain itself doesn't know how to. The reflash will solve that problem. Go supercharge and you can still keep your intake and headers.

this is my next purchase. really good results for the money.

 

im doin an all motor build up so my next mods are SSR header and AJP intake manifold, then comes skunk 2 throttle body, then exhaust.... yes exhaust is last on my list becasue i think the OEM is good enough for now, even tho more flow would be better but i want to start from the engine bay out. afterwards comes stage 2 cluth with a, 10 0r 9 lb flywheel.

 

isn't the AJP manifold just powder coated stock manifold?.. I didn't think they ported them or anything.. just made 'em look pretty

I hope you've got the tuning worked out for the throttle body, and do realize how flywheels that weight suck for anything other than AutoX or track use.

Actually, a 3% power difference can be expected. For the price it's worth it for some people.

Care to post the dyno's you are referring to?


Why even bother with an intake either? Its only 5 HP difference for $250

 

some of you are dooche bags.........
1hp-----2hp-----200hp........... its hp, and ill take it.

 

Get NST (Not Stop Tuning?) Pulleys, they add a bit of power.

My bad, I did a search of the page for 'pulley' and it didn't get anything so I gave it the go-ahead.

 

question do u have a problem passing smog with the dc race headers

 

ummmm, as far as i know. any car with headers isn't gunna pass smog........

 

I think hes refering to the lack of a Cat...
