[VTEC DEMON]

I´ve been doing numbers and it´s like 5 whp tops; what do you guys think??

 

[electricsheep]

there's always been a big debate whether bolt-ons are worth it...

i'm not sure about the numbers though...

 

[OmegaDelSol]

Don't expect the gains the manufacturer claims. I'd say with a VTEC model, with good I/H/E would probably add 5-8 hp maybe. Check super street mags, like older ones. They actualy run the #'s with and without. I like the way they make the car sound along with the more free flowing air. They also look good.

yep thats about it, just bolt ons expect 5-8 hp although I have seen some go over 15 but by removing cat and doing other thing with out having to change or touch any internal parts

yea

yea but what if later you are planing on going turbo or supercharging, wont ihe be a must, just for better airflow.

What about free bees

I was thinking making adding more horises for free, indexing spark plugs for example..,
Any one got any other ideas?

i/e/h are must when you go supercharger, when you go turbo the only thing that remains is the exhaust system.

some ideas , you can advance your timing to 18 degrees and if you live in worm climate or in the summer you can do a throttle body bypass(remove hot water from throttle body)

its all about balance. there are 3 main components for combusiton.
1. air
2. ignition
3. fuel

from factory, hondas or any other cars come with optimal balance of those 3 components. many people like myself upgrades the "air" portion withe the basic i/h/e. since only the "air" sided is boosted the gain is very minimal since the balance between the 3 has been altered. but when you upgrade all three components, the gain is much greater and beneficial.

so

for air upgrade: i/h/e
for ignition: ignitnion box like msd. wires and nice plugs
for fuel: fuel pressure regulator

That is wery logical. By providing all those parameters, engine should run more efficiently. What about adjustin mass flow sensors, O2, sensor, or any other electronic components?
Got any ideas?

 

[boostaholic]

im not really sure about that but i presume you can do a lot of tuning with the apex vtech controller after you get all the mods, or get an aftermarket ecu.

Hey look at it this way...

Thats more power than you had before, sure maybe it cost a little more, but when you meet up with somebody whos got the same exact car, won't you be glad you've got that CAI and exhaust to blow by and throw your hazards on?
