if u really want low end power then u probably dont want to own a honda. with that said, a jsrc is a good mod for low end torque and power.

As far as internal mods are concerned....Stroking the engine and getting a lower rod ratio will improve low-end torque. A bigger bore adds more meat all over the powerband. Getting a 4-2-1 header, and a long AEM/INJEN/IceMan style intake will help in the 2000-4000 RPM range, which is our *low-end* area. Other than that most of the stuff designed for our engines has the goal of extending the torque (and hence more horsepower) into the upper RPM range...like the 5000-8000+ range.

So as you can see, the only real way to add power down low, is to either add more displacement to the engine or go with a turbo or supercharger....personally I think a turbo that spools up at about 2000-3000 RPM would be better than a supercharger.

But my next project will probably be a turboed 2.1L B18B....the displacement and rod ratio of the thing would make it like a VW motor.....tons of meat down low.
