How many horses on the following: '94 Integra Gs-R with the following mods: Dinan ECU, GReddy SP2 cat-back exhaust, DC Sports Polished Stainless Steel headers, and Magnecor Competition 8.5mm Spark Plug Wires.

Thanks

 

This was your choice for first post?

 

FYI: don't post without reading the rules.

to answer your question, HP will vary from car to car, but i'll guess around 150-155 for your setup. the stock intake is gonna hurt you, and the plug wires wont do anything.

ps. i didn't know Dinan made stuff for honda, i thought they were a BMW company?

 

dinan eCU? wtf?


uhhh with just a header and exhuast, <150

i got 152 w/ exhuast, AEM CAI and 70mm TB + vafc

159 w/ exhuast, header, itr cams and vafc (no intake)

Okay......not sure about that whole Dinan ECU thing.

But an aftermarket ECU on your car with those mods won't do anything. If you want anything ECU related at all, look into some sort of engine management system like Hondata, Haltec, Motec, AEM EMS, etc. Those Jet chips and Power chips you see everywhere won't do anything.

Your plug wires won't do anything either.

So what are you left with? Your cat back exhaust and your header. Those are both pretty good. I would add a cold air intake to that list. It's not expensive and will probably net the most power out of everything.

I'd say you'd probably gain maybe 5-10 or so wheel horsepower on top. Nothing much, nothing really noticeable, but it's a good start.

 

Truthfully, don't expect more than 2-3hp.

Agreed. May 5 for benefit of the doubt.

yep.

 

Hrmmm... you are from Brookfield...
I've helped my friend out who lives in Brookfield... i should help you out

 

Sorry for posting without reading rules. I'm just starting to get into the performance car area, and thought this would be a good place to ask questions...I guess I was wrong. This is just a car I'm considering buying, I know it needs a good intake. Anyway, if anyone in the Chicagoland-area (Gerbilo?) knows of any decent cars, preferably at least lightly modded, for under $8k (I know, not a big budget), PLEASE let me know. Thanks, and sorry for my ignorance.

 

Pay a shop to dyno it.

Pay extra and they will tune it too so you get the max performacne out of your engine.

Why would you want a car that someone already doen the work too it, who in god name know how the car is treated and condition. Just buy a stock car and work your way up and learn while yyour at it. I hate to see people that buy car already modified, i point to one thing and ask, they would be like i dont know.

 

Because I have no source of income right now, and my mom is financing this car, but no way in God's name would she pay for me to mod it. Also, I'm getting whatever car I decide on checked out by a good mechanic.

 

If you want a modded car, go for a simple mods. For example, i'm sure a car with intake, headers, and exhaust are not going to be driven as harsh as turbo charged cars.

 

There are tons of cars in this area, you just have to figure out what you want and what you need. Go look for it.

If you have any questions i'll try to help you out, but remember, the search button here is very useful and just using some thought you can figure a lot out.

 

I used the search button, and came up with NOTHING in the area that interested me. Anywway, I'm now looking a 1997 Mustang GT w/ a 4.6L V8.

 

Dude, I already went for a 4.6 stang. came and went. being from chicagoland, it is a very poor idea, but I guess if you wanna do drifting, the winter and a stang are a great combo. I drove sideways from december to april more than I drove in a straight line. not a good idea, unless you like drifting...like i said...

maybe 2 1/2

 

I hate mustangs

 

lol, dude, figure out what the **** you want before you start asking random questions...

http://www.autotrader.com look in the paper, look on the street, I found plenty of cars available....

 

i dont think '97 is a good vintage for mustangs. i hear '93 down and '98 up are what you want for performance.

 

93 and down is what you want if you want cheap and fast...5.0 pushrod V8 making 215hp go go mullet mobile
in 96 they introduced the modular 4.6. the GT is powered by a 215hp SOHC V8
99 is the current generation with better output for motors still a 4.6l SOHC but rated at 260hp

I was actually going to buy a 97 Mustang... SVT Cobra. 305hp stock DOHC 4.6

I live in chicago though and I realized it was stupid. 15mpg on premium and RWD in chicago winters is stupid.

It is a damn nice car(the Cobra) but it just wasn't practical.

The 4.6 is one of the shittiest motors on Earth.

not necessarily true at all. ricers with i/h/e and a window sticker think they're fast as **** and can outhandle mclarens so they beat the **** out of their cars showing off their ****. people with turbo'd cars putting out respective numbers usually know how to maintain their car a lot better and thus treat it better.

but anyway, back to the original point so keymaster, bolt ons and an ecu will not give you much power at all. even if it does, it probably won't be noticeable. learn about your car first before you go modding it.
