Hello, I'm looking for some opinions and thoughts on some upgrades I want and thinking of doing like Ecu, I/m etc. etc... It's a daily driver besides in the winter thanks any help would be great

 

What are your goals?

What is your budget?

Are you doing the work yourself?

Intake header and exhaust are usually the first three mods. Most times they net very little gain without tuning. Sure it will sound more agressive and the *** dyno will think you added 20-30whp. But put it on the rollers and some actually see a decrease in power and efficiency. Honda did a great job of tuning these engines and the supporting parts.

Now if you have a budget to start changing the engine internals and tuning, I.E. camshafts and an tunable ECU. You will start to see more gains to go along with the larger intake and exhuasts.

It's all about the goals and the budget! if you need this for a reliable daily driver just remember this,

Fast and Reliable is Not Cheap!
Cheap and Fast is not Reliable!

I know I don't want to do Pistons rods and crank right now, I thinking of just doing a I/m and a hondata s300 basically just bolt ons for now just to play around with to and from work once in awhile lol I have a full exhaust already and also have someone to tune it. Just not sure wut mani to get. I also had questions about my head? It's a pde hf1!?? With a stamp of 00 6 c? But thought that it should be a p13/p5m!!!??? Thanks for the help

 

What intake manifold do you have, stock H22A4?

From what I have seen the PDE heads came on the late model H22A4 engines in the US (00-01). Have to check the intake and exhaust port finish and the camshafts to see if it is a Euro-R.

The options for intakes are endless for the H22. Check the all motor forum and look at what guys are using. There is everything from the stock Euro R to a ported Euro-R, gutted H22/H23 intakes and now some K series intakes are available with the use of an H2K adapter plate.

ITB's with a closed plenum setup would be my suggestion!

 

Ok so no go on the s2 pro series intake!?? And wut about Ecu upgrade? S300 or Neptune? And like I've read am looking for blue tinted cams? Cud my mani is a p13!??? And Ecu is a p5m just weird figured everything would match, been awhile since I've messed around with swaps and stuff. But I bought the car 1.5 ago I've always loved them and finally got one just want to do some stuff to it. Thanks for your help!!!

 

Intake mani is p13 stock from the looks of it

 

The other problem is I need to be able to pass emissions lol but thankfully I'm certified for state inspections I live in New Hampshire so that **** is not a big deal!

 

I'm thinking of s300 with tune and s2pro series mani. And maybe tb for now or if I need fuel rail and psi regulator I'll get it then maybe cams eventually but need to figure out wut my head is and has!???

 

Hondatas300 p28 or p72!????? Is it worth not using the itbs or else?

 

I thought about itbs but wasn't sure and wut to get for itb set up!??? No one has that around where I am!!! Thanks

 

Thanks for your help
