More power

[GTRboy]

Hey guys, just wondering of anyone noes of any easy-to-do ways to increase horsepower on your car, i no of a few but if any could help would be greatly appreciated, i spoke to this at a performace shop who told me some but i cant remember but, he said there are plently of site of it on the net, but i cant seem to find any, if any one can help me with this, would be great

thanks

The coffee tin mod? Adds 10HP!!

[drifta]

yeah buy a skyline hahaha (joke) couldnt help my self

If u can't make additional power then dump some weight , it works just as well.

- and wat is the coffee tin mod?

[EvilElmo]

Hahaha it was some internet joke awhile ago. Lost the link for it.

Basically it told you that if you add a coffee tin over your muffler tip it would add 10HP. Also if you added two red stripes down the middle of your car, thats a further 10HP. etc. etc.

this guy gets an extra 90HP

Being an exhaust fitter that last pic doesn't make me laugh, it makes me cry! WHY!!! WHY!!!

The only free hosrepower that I can think of is a Turbo as it gets its power from spent exhaust gasses.

Here is some mods for N/A engines that might improve power:

Cold air induction, modify and enlarge airbox inlet/outlet and put a bell mouth on the outlet, better flowing airfilter (or pod and cold air box/partition), remove all plastic corrugated intake pipes and make smoother versions out of aluminium tube and smooth rubber bends or aluminium bends and rubber tube (try not to remove vacuum resonance chamber on intake pipe or increase pipe diameter excessively), clean all carbon and oil deposits on throttle body and plenum (or fit larger throttle body or bore out and fit larger vane), Remove any breathers that run from engine to intake and fit oil catch can setup, Next time you change spark plugs choose ones that have a small electrode diameter as this makes it easier for a spark to be produced (reducing the gap slightly also helps in making spark stronger) Ignition Advancing the timing a couple of degrees in some engines might make more power but this is dependant on what octane fuel you use, next time you change engine oil try a fully synthetic high performance friction modified oil (make sure you use the right viscosity of course) this might help reduce friction and drag on engine components, fitting a lower temp thermostat might help drop engine temps for a slightly cooler intake charge, extractors coated in ceramic or wraped in thermal tape, high flow converter and a better flowing exhaust than the factory items will make more power.

Try using some in tank injector cleaner (or get them removed and ultra-sonically cleaned and tested professionaly.)

Run some octane booster/tolulene to raise the octane dont use NOS on a stock engine unless you want a stuffed rings and clutch.

NOTE: This is just a guide, I have no responsability for damage caused to you or your vehicle or the speeding fine that you will get while testing your mods.

here are some easy ways to increase horsepower:

- straight through mandrel-bent exhaust, big, least amoung of bends as possible

- higher flowing air filter than stock

- remap the ECU or get a chip for your ECU

many cars have characteristics that make gaining horsepower easier (eg if you have a gtr then replacing a tiny hose can unlock a great deal of power). a honda site may be able to provide you with some sort of help with this as here we generally only know RB engines (as they're better)

[GTRboy]

how do u get a chip for the ecu and how mcuh is it? and how does it work?

[BIGBLOCKR31COUPE]

You go to a HONDA FORUM and there will be plenty of advice.

My advice is 'buy a Skyline'

Or you could try the 'plug & play' 454 chev mod that I told you about in your last stupid thread.

go to:

www.unichip.com.au

i hope that link works as i made it up but i'm sure that its their site...

costs about $1000 fitted. it changes the air/fuel ratios and timing that the car uses to create the most efficient combustion in your engine. more efficient = more power. the stock ECU is more aimed at protecting the engine and uses too much fuel, thus if you can slightly reduce the amount of fuel (or 'lean out the mixture') then you can gain an extra 10-20kW or so depending on your engine.

easy, but expensive.

good luck...
