i got a 03 civic lx and when i go to take off it seems like the car dont rev fast enough and just got shitty take off anyone know how to adjust it so it will rev faster to see if that will help or anyone have any idea what will.

 

dont drive to fast.....Trust me

 

why do you say not to drive to fast thats the only way to drive

 

what are you even asking? rev faster??? i dont get what your asking. maybe you should read up on the FAQ and learn more about your car before you try to go fast

 

What were you expecting? D17A1 = 115hp @ 6100 RPM. It's not a "fast" car.

 

i aint tryin to make it faster im trying to make it respond to my foot faster and i know that its a D17 i just want it to not hesitate when i first punch it i want it to respond as fast as i can push the pedal. do you understand im not tryin to make a race car a just want when i push the gas down i want it not to hesitate just go if that aint clear enough then i dont know how else to explain it.

 

You have an automatic transmission?

 

no its a 5 speed but i gotta rev so much when i go to take off or it bogs down like its going to die thats why i want it to respond faster if there is anyway that i can even make it.

 

well a light weight flywheel would typically give you a slightly faster rev... but no matter what you do I don't think there is going to be an answer to satisfy you

 

Well, you don't have a vtec engine. There isn't going to be any extra "umphf" when you punch the throttle. (not as if it makes a huge difference with a D17, anyway) They're just not made to race around town. They're gas sipping, econo-cars.

 

yeah well thats what i figured i didnt think there was anything i could do with out just straight putting some performance parts on it. thank youall for tryin to help ill be sure to let ya know if i figure anyting else out.

 

You can tighten up the throttle cable a little more.

 

Bolt-on performance parts do basically nothing for a N/A D17. Your only realistic option, if you want more power from your car, is a k-swap. I mean, there are parts you can put on/in it, but for the same money you can get a k20 which is, at least, a reliable powerplant and a good base.

 

It has no torque. No torque = no power to turn things = no quick pickup.

 

Get an intake like AEM or K&N, and an exhaust.

It will not be that much faster, but you will have alot better throttle response.

and I believe the cheapest way would be to get a Stiffy- (Engine Torque dampener).I think it is 100 or 150 bucks...(looks tight too).

.....lol

I get what you're saying OP.. you could get a lighter flywheel or tighten up the throttle cable (which could cause problems if not done properly.. but those are about the only realistic things you can do... yea thats all i can think of.. and its already been posted

Not in the lower RPMs which is what he's looking for.

Am I incorrect? No. Being vtec kicks in at what .. 2800 RPM's? Doesn't take but a second, maybe two, before it kicks in. More importantly, that you 'conveniently' forgot to quote(not as if it makes a huge difference with a D17, anyway They're just not made to race around town. They're gas sipping, econo-cars.

I like how you minimize my input in an effort to make me look like a total moron while providing your own "super-tech" quality input..

Very helpful. Honda-Tech is lucky to have you.

 

I was going to say something mean but never mind.......

hahahahaha

(Low RPM throttle response) and (honda) have never been used in the same sentence

I can see it now.....

Honda K20As have good low RPM throttle response.

There

 

ok, I take that back........in general, no throttle response/no torque at low RPM..... any 4 cyclinder honda motor under 2.0-2.4 is basically gutless.

Now I ride a sport bike all the time, so 99% of cars do not seem to have torque/speed/accel to me any more

more horse power then my civic and alot more throttle response. Especialy after the second set of injectors open up

I have to correct you on this one too.

Ever riden in an EG with B18C-R motor? Has a lot of low end torque to me

 

slap on some Type R compounds and just launch at every light.

 

just follow this:
