My current setup is an AEM CAI, JDM DC header, Skunk II stage one cams, Action Kevlar clutch, and Fidanza flywheel. I have a VAFC on the way soon to be followed by a 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust and FPR. So in terms of engine or acceleration aiding mods where can I go from here? I'm thinking maybe I could use some injectors? Ideas please.

 

Weight reduction?
I'd say get rid of the vafc and get something that can extract more power out of your engine. (hondata, powerfc)

 

Sell 4.40 tranny and get 4.785 tranny. No power extracting from your motor but you can get about 20 butt dyno horsepower out of it.

 

Well I just bought the VAFC and plan on living with it for a while since I have such a mild setup. I'll get something better when I go 2.0liter.

I really don't feel like pulling my tranny for a FD install either unless I can get some fellow HT members to help out. Pulling a tranny by yourself isn't fun.

 

You have just about every power upgrade bolt on for the ITR. Maybe some underdrive pulleys?

 

replace vafc with hondata, get a better header --> if you plan to stay all motor, you will need these either way.. injectors are more needed for high rpm - so you don' have to raise fuel pressure, maybe 270's or get larger injectors if you do plan to rebuild motor.

may i suggest a snail?

 

yeah i dont think bigger injectors will be needed with your setup. I'd opt for a better header like Toda or maybe SMSP. Then get a FD as your next mod after that.

 

JDM or ATS final drive?

 

hondata
and injectors.
then just drive your car more. put the extra money into track days or for gas taking small road trips.

your car is plenty fast, just enjoy it

 

Do you have traction?, You might want to think about it as your power goes up...

 

17" Concept neepers. They will help w/ traction.

Check yo, IM.

 

Slicks!

 

Cam gears.

 

I would suggest hondata and injectors as well. These won't necessarily make much more peak power, but you will be able to tune the motor more precisely, giving you a smoother power curve and a generally better-running motor.

The reason I suggest the injectors is what I witnessed while doing some experimental tuning with a friend. We noticed that a B17A (same size injectors as the B18C) with ITR cams and IM ran the injectors at 100% duty cycle at everything past 7500 rpm. The Motec Lambda meter showed a/f ratios as lean as 16.5:1 + at over 8000 rpm. This was on a very mild motor (still had stock cast iron exhaust manifold) that displaces 100 fewer cc's than a B18C.

 

cam gears for the fpr and those cams yo

or pullies...

theres really not much else that bolts rite on

 

All i can think of are..
(as long as you keeping your skunk2 stage 1 cams)
-You could always upgrade your cams more than stage 1+)
-Cam gears
-Fule regulator
-Bigger injector
-Lighter flywheel
-weight redution.

sorry i dont know if it helped at all but that's all i can think of right now.


Oh yeah. i forgot something.

there'zzz Boost for joo too

yank those cams out and buy a turbo...just my .02

 

Well I already have cam gears. Looks like injectors might be on the list. The only other thing I could come up with is a Hondata intake manifold gasket.

 

Take the money, drive up to VA and let Sakai work his magic

 

ditto.

Go with a good header like toda, smsp, hytech...

ditch the "junk" cams and get spec a's...

97+ prelude (290cc) injectors

ATS final drive you big sissy

SLICKS, y0!

More $.....
