should i get nitrous? i mean im tired of having a slow car. i would like to win races against cars i thought i could beat... I have an i-4 engine auto tranny. should i or shouldnt i? I know its not safe right? What do yall think?

 

your engine will take a decent shot of nos, but it all depends on how badly you wanna win races. personally i'd save the money for a turbo or swap, but nitrous is definetly an option.

 

ok but what if i went a safer route... what if i stuck with headers and pulleys? how much hp will i gain with intake headers and pulleys?

 

If you want a faster car.

Sell your Accord and buy a different one! Until then don't ruin your warranty! At least wait for it to run out.

Accumulate money for the time being.

 

Nah, those bolt on won't do good to accord ( I came to realize that after I put cai and exhaust on my car) , don't know if I put header the car will be different.
But my decision is to get swap definitely !!!
Until then gotta work my *** off !!! and save money
or just save money and get 03 V6 accord = 240 HP

 

taking off those 18" wheels might speed you up a bit...I know there have been numerous discussions on rotational mass and unsprung weight, so i wont bother to delve into the matter. As far as nitrous, its your best bet for CHEAP speed in a straight line racing situation...just make sure that you install it properly, and with an engine as new as yours, a 50 shot shouldnt hurt. change out your plugs for colder ones and run higher octane fuel to prevent detonation

 

nitrous is only unsafe when istalled or used incorrectley.

 

'01 i4 auto accord

AEM Cold Air Intake/DC 4-2-1 Header/APEX-I WS w/ 55 shot zex dry

w/o nitrous: 117hp, 115tq
w/ nitrous: 157hp, 155 tq

i may be off on the tq like 2-3, i lost my dyno sheet.

Yeah, the automatic transmission really kills the power, i'm gonna go get a manual swap when i can.

damn those numbers arent to bad. but yea...a manual tranny will be the next best thing to do.

 

I made 162hp and 176ft lbs on 550psi bottle pressure @ the wheels. btw this was a 5 speed... and 55 shot n20/ fuel jet.

could make more but I was not taking the bottle out in the sun cause I was lazy... no heater.
