I have all my bolts on NOW WHAT

I have a 01 coupe 5 speed with AEM CAI, AEM pulleys, DC headers, DC short shifter, exhaust system, denso plugs.


I want to know if there is anything that would give some more HP.

bigger injectors, super chip , or something ...


NOT NOS or TURBO ... I want all motor ...

any Ideas

um.

to get faster times on the 1/4 get a new clutch.....flywheel.....ignition system....Aem cam gear....some lighter rims..some nitto555rs....and i dunno wut else.
you wanna go faster ...drop some weight
Ignition system and Apexi V-AFC and some dyno time.

From there you're gonna have to start dipping into the engine internals. higher compression pistons, springs, retainers, cam shaft, etc. Dropping wieght will help out too.
if you want to spend some $$$ go to www.gude.com they have cams and new heads.
since you modded all the "air" side.. get some fuel upgrade. get a fuel pressure riser.

fpr is more non technical mod, its better to have a VAFC so you can tune the exact fuel needs at certain RPMs and throttle positions.
I've heard some people are having problems tuning VAFC in 5 speed cars. automatic trany is much easier to tune ....


correct me if I'm wrong ....


Superchip for I4 engines don't know if they make them ..... you also don't get much Hp ... it would be nice to look more into that ..


what you think ?

VAFC and a FPR would help but not much. Those two combined with dyno tuning shouldnt give you more than 5-10 hp. If you want to go all motor, over-stroke the 2.3 to 2.5 with high compression pistons. Port and polish the head and get a cam with 3 angle valves. With all of that, you can probably push 200 at the fly with all of those mods. You can also get a bored out throttle body and a bored out intake manifold.
I think drag on has the right ideas. Without doing some bottom end work it won't get much higher all motor.

For some better breating and fuel delivery personally if I had a 4 cyl, I'd go with a new intake manifold(dunno if they make them prefab, if not just get it ported), cam, ported TB, port and polished head, high volume fuel pump, FPR, Fuel Rail, high volume injectors, vafc to tune that puppy in. To get it moving faster exedy clutch, maybe 16"s(the bigger you go the worse the launch) with either nitto 555rs if I wasn't ever going to drive it in the rain, or some falken azenis for great launches and nice daily driving.


But then again if I had a 4cyl my happy ass wouldn't be waiting years for comptech to get off their butt, and I'd probably have a drag turbo kit on it, or a JR super if I didn't ever want to upgrade it any further. I like turbos' better because if you need more poop, you can punch the block out, drop in some nice blower slugs, find a stroked crank, and crank the boost up. Supers are kind of limited. If you really wanted some ponies FI or nitrous is the only way to go, either that or drop a chevy 350 in. There truely is no replacement for displacement, if you want to get some nuts out of a small engine you can punch it out, boost it, or spray it, no way around it.

thats funny as fuck ..... can't fit a chevy 350 in there man :D

that is going to cost as much as a new motor


..... Damm I wish I had 4 grands .. to turbo my motor ....
how bout your intake manifold, you forget about that
you saying you got all the bolt on's
you didnt mention
an over bore throttle body or an intake manifold??

might wanna double check you components
what good is an intake manifold for me ? ...

How much $$$ ?

I never heard anyone with one or upgraded one ..
intake manifold cost anywhere from an average like
250 or 300

i would like what co. has upgrades for the accord intake manifold
it would be kinda rare to find one for the f22

but i know the h22 has the type -s manifold,
that shit is hot..
Too bad there is no manufactors that make the intake manifold for the Accords. You will just have to port it yourself or take it to a machine shop or engine performance shop to do it. :( I am currently thinking boring out my throttle body and the only place that I know of that does this is www.proflow.com and www.jgenginedynamics.com.
theres a 1990 civic around here with a 350 in the back seat, just a thought
there's shop down the road from me that specializes in odd conversions. they have a mini cooper(original not the new one) with a blown 350 in it. They raised the hood, cut the bottom off of the windshield, moved the firewall back, the driver sits dead center in the back seat straddling the tranny with the diff under his ass, the drive shaft is pretty much two U-Joints with about 3"s of shaft in between. they have split brakes so you can feather one side or the other to steer it when the front is in the air, which is pretty much where the front end live when you have your foot on the gas. It's insane. They've done an old 911s with a 454, the back of the block sits about a foot behind the driver. Their latest project is a blown 454 in a gen 2 rx-7, that should be interesting.

Anything is possible if you have the cash and want to be different.
