ok. i have a '99 VTEC (tiptronic)

everytime i race or step on it. my car is like a civic dx til 3000 rpm. i mean its horrible. like one time i raced a civic n i wuz losing up to that point. after i pass 3000rpm its alrite, but i lose crucial time during that sucky moment. if anyone could help PLZ PLZ help me. thx

oh.. btw. ive already reset ecu n cleaned o2 sensors.

thx

 

Your car is an auto so its got much longer gears than a typical 5sp...To help low end power pulleys seem to be one of the best mods. To launch your auto better hold down the break and rev it up, your torque converter should let you rev to something like 2000rpm i beleive....

Ummm 2 more things, resetting your ecu does not help, in fact actually a read a thread a while back explaining how it actually hurts...and last thing, save up your $ u would spend on mods and get a 5sp swap if you wanna go fast

 

thx for the reply usfrob22. but i already rev it up to 2000. but it still sux til 3000rpm. but by pulleys u mean unothodox pulleys rite? is it ez to install?

 

Best mod to do to a N/A automatic car would be to get a better torque converter. That will help your launches dramatically. You will be either beating or keeping up with manuals off the line.

 

Yes definatley get a better tourque converter with a stall... Itll allow you to stall your car to around 3200rpm... Check out his site http://www.levelten.com

 

diagnosis: you drive an auto honda

 

well duh eram. lol.

ok.. about the tourque converter... are there any sideeffects to the high end? cuz i dont wanna lose any of the high end power. also.. can i install it myself or is it sumthing i gotta get done at a shop? thx in advanced.
