Just kind of wondering what's next to give me a noticeable gain.
It's chipped and tuned on chrome but I'm thinking of moving to Hondata s3. Is spending the money on it worth it with my bolt ons? Also thinking of a new throttle body? Thanks!

 

Nothing without stating a budget.

 

What man? Are you asking what car it's in?

94 Civic DX coupe.

 

You're supposed to list the car and all the relevant specs. Check the rules please.

 

how did you get that out of someone asking what your budget is?

 

I revised my post.

 

Sorry man new here, yeah he revised the post.
I don't want to go turbo, but I do know that's the quickest way to get power. I'm just not interested in blowing something up and having to restart. Has to be daily driven. I have around 600 but I really would only spend it if I know I'm going to get a decent gain out of it.

 

600? keep saving.

 

$600? Like I said, nothing.

 

do a tune up and save more.

 

Keep saving parts are expensive

 

cams/retune on that budget

 

You can't run decent cams(600.00+) w/o springs+retainers(350$) and the gains would be minimal with his current set up like others are saying:SAVE UP.

 

Get a real header

 

...And gain nothing.

 

Bullshit

 

If you're going to tell me I'm wrong, prove it. A bolt-on header, without a retune, will net you maybe 5whp if you're lucky. $50/HP is a shitty ratio.

 

Not worth it. Waste of money. Repeat after me; "Bolt-ons do not add any significant/substantial amount of power on D/B series engines."

 

for 600 i would get the plm toda replica header and tune

 

x2 With a decent header and a good tune 8-10whp gain isn't unresonable. That DC sure isn't helping....

 

Consider what he has/will have done. 8-10whp over that dc thing ?. I don't think so not without a tune(and even then) which is at least 200+ header 400+ still better to save

 

Yes it's definitely possible with a tune. I don't recommend replica headers but in his situation it wouldn't hurt. He already has a 3" exhaust so that DC header is a bottleneck in his setup.

Gaining 8-10whp from a good header with supporting mods isn't uncommon on GSR.

Where is the tech/data in the all-motor forum at? Their used to be tons of information regarding basically stock bolt-on setups making decent power with xyz header mauf.

 

OK see you'r point on the 3'' exhaut with a near stock header. if i was the OP i'd go with the plm power driven v2 2.75 collector. then yes i'd see the gain. https://www.privatelabelmfg.com/prod...-v2-header.htm

 

The v2 aka bisi replica header has been proven to be the worst header plm offers there has been numerous header test done showing this on the other hand the toda rep has shown it makes really good results

 

Check out the budget header test on this forim that mikeyspec has done
