so far i have aem intake, hks full cat exhaust (brand new) dc header (brand new) and magna flow hiflow cat (brand new) all this on my h23... when i put all of these on my car seemed to loose my high rpms (around 5,800 rpms) and after that it takes forever to redline...it really does suck but im thinking i still have to brake my exhuast system in...what can i do to increase this rpm range? Are there certain parts for this or how long do i have to wait for it to all brake in?

Don't keep trying to redline your H23 or it's not going to last much longer.

You shouldn't be making any less top-end power with those basic mods, it may just be in your head...though you might look into a larger throttle body because that's a bit of a bottle neck for you right now.

 

there is no break in period for bolt ons.

cams
compression
tuning

 

A simple used SAFC and some tuning may do the trick for you.....It may be leaning out form your moads at higher RPMs. You won't know until you see what your air/fuel situation is.

 

you need to add more VTECH fluid. they stabilize and makes your rpms go faster

 

gosh I hope youre kidding.

 

i dont know how how deep your pockets are but look into either a h22 swap or h23 vtec head swap.....lots more top end power for ya

Not even funny you fvcking Civic bitch.....1st off its an H23 NON VTEC, 2nd its VTEC, 3rd you were dropped on your head as a baby. Back to the Civic forums for you......Don't pass GO, don't collect $200, just kill yourself now!

For $100(safc)+$1-200(tuning) you may be able to get it running a bit better.
Although if possible, some sort of H/F Hybrid could work for you.

 

thanks man...i hate people that are dicks like that...

Typical Civic owner....nuff said.
Pirate McFred is the H/F Non vtec GOD! He'd be the man to read into if you want to build something fun and cheap.

the cams are what gives the H23 NO top end.....

p.s. dont revv your H23 to redline all day long, or else it wont last very long....

 

x2 on no red lining to figure out whats wrong

 

i dont rev my car to redline all day.. only when im running it with my friend...which was like 3 times.... i barley even get on it at all...

for that. Some bigger cams will really help an H23 as far as top-end power.

 

save money and get an h22

get some cams and an ems... cheaper than an h22 swap and you can use those two mods later on if you go FI...

ems yeah.. but as for cams, you want a different profile for turbo.
