0ok, i just got a 98 DX hatch...with a 96 ITR swap...

so far it's got:
Comptech ICE box and bling tube
2.5" cat and exhaust
JDM DC 4-1
exedy clutch

getting soon:
cams, not sure what grind yet...but custom more than likley
RLZ IM
RLZ headwork
2.5" MANDREL exhaust..cause the present stuff is semi cruch

i'm also looking into a 4.9 SRR fd

 

why 200 not 210? Just curious.

Only 2 years ago was it everyone's dream to hit 200whp.

 

oops, that's what i meant to put.....

 

cams and headwork arent needed, but make things a lot easier. properly ported head and nicely matching cams can net very nice gains. higher compression, injectors, cam gears, engine management, good header/exhaust combo, tuning, tuning, tuning.

but max HP isnt worth it if u are sacraficing a lot of torque or midrange hp. you will hear that time and time again in here. max hp isnt most important.

 

i'm fully aware of that....

i'm looking to do a very nice street car.

i want it ot be fun at the strip, auto x, mountains, and around town

 

Sounds like you want some good midrange then.

 

i want a very usable power band


i'm going to get some rods/pistons, head work, IM...and some better exhaust

maybe a bigger TB, light flywheel, n1 pulley if i kill my P/S..

ohh, and i'm a obd-1 chipped ECU *****, and J.Davis is close friend...so he and i will do tuning..

 

is a 4.9FD "too much" for a daily driver?

or would money be better spent else where?

 

Should have just gone with a Drag III kit.

 

i've done turbo to death

i'm just looking for my current daily driver...nice handeling...nice looking car

boost is for cars that are too fast to have to worry about looks...like my eh
