kid that everyone loves!
ok so i got this 5 speed 91 accord, with a few little performace items such as

- plugs
-intake
-clutch


i think thats it.....


can anyone please tell me what else i should buy thats a fairly easy and that is worth the money to help me gain a bit of speed/HP
etc.



thank you in advanced !
 
Yeah, because it's bound to crack. :) Simply switching to the tubular header off the EX would be good.

What do you consider "easy"?
 
well easy to me is this :)

-unbolt, take off and rebolt on : )

lol


but what brand header would work good for me accord? any of the ones of ebay?
 
ncie so that megan header is a real nice one?


ok ok and one more thing if i buy that does it come with everything i wil need,

hardware,gasgets, ect.

p.s. i will et that one it seems very good!
 
yea it comes with everything you need, its not the best made compared to greddy and stuff like that but your gona get the same power gain from this one and this one will be fine just get the megan
 
kk nice

i have a noob question


whats the differce between the exaust mainafold and the header?


sry if thats a dumb question????????
 
a stock exhaust manifold are very restrictive the insides are really small, the new header is large on the inside and has smooth bends allowing for more power a lot more actually you will notice the difference i would also get a good cold air intake
 
ok ok ok thank you buddie so they are actully the same thing, just a header is a after market exaust mainafold?????? kinda?
 
yea perty much they for the same thing but the header will free up all the extra hp that your stock one is holding back
 
thanks you so much man for real, so basicly it will be a easy install?

form a scale 1-10 10 being hardest to install, what do u think a header is to install.???
 
yes he is jezz thank you man im gonn asave up and buy that megan asap!

thanks!
 
Don't just stop with the header. A more free flowing exhaust past the tailpipe will help. Basically a full 2.5 inch exhaust would help. I'm not sure about smog and emissions standards in wisconson, but removing the catalitic converter will make it a little more free flowing thus freeing up some more power. Usually run about $250 up. -Other simple things include a K&N air filter (much better flowing. 3-10 horsepower gains.) $45 usually. -underdrive pulley. basically it's a replacement for your stock crankshaft/accessory drive pully. It'll spin all the accessories (alternator, a/c, power steering) faster than needed, which will give your car about 5 more hp. $70 - $110 -removing the a/c compressor. Since you're in wisconson, I don't imagine it gets too unreasonably hot there that you couldn't survive without air conditioning. Doing this will free up some horsepower that is wasted in rotating the compressor. Also for a little bit of weight reduction, but not much. Somewhere around 5-10 horsepower could be expected. But if you were to do this though, you'll first have to get it drained by a professional Just a few pointers :) Good luck

Just to be safe if you do get a complete cold air intake, you might want to get a Bypass valve from AEM to be on the safe side, basically what it does is prevents the intake from sucking up water into the engine if you happen to go though a puddle. i would definately recommend it!

2.5" is a little on the large side for an unmodified engine(espeically a stock F22). Running a cat-less setup is usually going to be louder, and annoying. The gains are not that big unless you're running a well-designed header and one that is designed specifically for that application(long-length equal length runners, megaphone, etc.).

Look up the air box mod on CB7tuners.org

A lightweight underdrive crank pulley is bad for a large stroke motor. The stock pulley utilizes a damper that helps reduce torsional vibration. Many aftermarket underdrive pulleys do not have this(there may be some H22 ones but I do not know if they would fit an F22). Underdrive pulleys also underdrive the accessories; the engine turns them slower.

The A/C system in the Accord is pretty heavy(I believe it's around 65lbs when I took everything out). I'd only do this if you can live without A/C and are going to gut the car out(half of the weight comes from the HVAC/lines/drier). Also, the 90-93 Accords are HEAVY! It would be pointless to do a "mild" weight lightening; you''d have to go CF hood, aftermarket seats, etc(stock hood and seats are pretty heavy).

If anything, I'd just do cold-air intake or airbox mod, exhaust, header, H22A transmission, reground cam, .020" milled head, port-match intake manifold, P28 ECU and tune.
