ive got a 95 accord lx with some dc sport headers, cut converter, ractive 3 inch exhaust, msd ign, blaster 2 coil, moroso plug wires, aem cold air. what kind of horsepower do u think that would produce? also what should be the next upgrade? i thought about some injectors and fuel rail and reg. any help is greatly appreciated.

 

You've got a 3" exhaust on a NA lx accord???

 

your exhaust piping is to big for the upgrades you got. you might wanna try upgrading your cam and cam gears,then injectors then fuel rail or port and polish your head

You'd be lucky to have as much power as a stock EX.

 

To my knowledge, ractice doesnt make full cat-backs, just mufflers.

115whp at best.

 

VAFC. Port and Polish. Throttle body. Head Work. Anything to help match the 'IN' to the 'OUT' ya know? 3" exhaust is a lot to fill. And besides it pointless because the collecter on a DC Sports header is smaller than 3" so you're wasting back pressure. I bet that's just killing your low to mid range power.

 

He has an LX, so why suggest a VAFC?

Downsize to 2.25 pipes, upgrade fuel system, and do some mild headwork. http://www.jdenginedynamics.com

 

no point in getting a fuel rail unless you are producing 400 hp or more

 

i think the pipe coming off the header is 2 inch or 2 1/4 inch going into the 3 inch ractive muffler. the whole pipe isnt 3 inch.

 

Oh, even better.

 

Then get 2.25 catback pipes.

 

drop the exhaust, and get something better.. 3"?

 

what about some brand of cat-back exhaust? and what about a cam? if i got an oversized cam would i have to bore or stroke anything? as u can see ive just begun to learn all this stuff, so any help is appreciated.

 

to be honest i think it depends on your motor and what kind of shape its in. OBD1 with all your mods should yield about 125whp, give or take about 5whp. Best bet would be a better cam and cam gear, then tuning.

 

any specific kind or size or brand?

 

Not too sure on who makes a cam for the car. If you can find an oldschool JG cam those are pretty good. Not sure on Web or Gude, i think they make a cam for your car

 

enough, do a search or go back pages and pages and start reading
