Has it been tuned professionally? Take it to a tuner and tell them what the problem is. You'd be suprised how big of a difference a good tune can make.

Justin66 · 08-07-2008, 08:15 AM

The cams arnt in yet, and no it hasent been tuned, im still looking for a place around here, chances are ill have to take a trip to Toronto sometime. Anything else?

Underdrive pulley, aluminum flywheel, header/catback ( if you are looking to increase top end).

Underdrive will only free up a few ponies, but with that, adj cam gears, and al flywheel, you will save a lot of weight on your rotating mass

awptickes · 08-07-2008, 08:45 AM

Rotational mass only helps when you had torque there to begin with.

Actually imo if you have less torque, you will see the benefits of the light weight more, as you already have less torque to begin with, so every bit that you lose to the fw is a larger percentage.... if that makes sense.

Also you will see MUCH better engine response

Yes thank you i realize its a 1.6, what do you want from me?

Ill look into the underdrive pullies. I will be getting the adj gears. A light flywheel will be nice. Ill try to knock off some weight out of my car, including my weight

Where do you think it came from!, LOL... happy someone noticed. My xbl name is actually fear caboose 1.

I picked it because I tend to be a little grenade happy at times and kill teammates, so i figured it was fitting.

Justin66 · 08-07-2008, 08:01 PM

Ya i know all about the team killing grenades, sexy

Don't use under drive pulleys on a street car unless you like replacing your accessories. And never use an aftermarket crank pulley on a Honda, use a CTR N1.

caboose · 08-07-2008, 08:21 PM

actually my little icon above my halo guy is the grenade, lol

can't say i didn't warn them

Under drive pulleys save accessories

I have a aftermarket crank pulley too

Blanco · 08-07-2008, 08:23 PM

Not on Hondas.

caboose · 08-07-2008, 08:26 PM

how do you figure

Blanco · 08-07-2008, 08:34 PM

Um, six years of seeing people with underdrive pulleys have burned up alternators? It doesn't take a genius to figure out that fire's hot.

Sorry whats CTR N1?

Blanco · 08-07-2008, 10:45 PM

Civic Type R N1 racing pulley. It only has room for the alternator belt and is essentially an OEM lightweight crank pulley.

Justin66 · 08-08-2008, 04:59 PM
