Hey guys, just wanted to get your opinions.

I drive a 2002 Acura 1.7EL, and I have a header back (KamiKaze Header, Apexi WS2).
I was wondering what kinda results (whether I lose power, gain power....or do nothing at alll except noise) I would get if I put in the J's Power Chamber (http://www.torontocivics.com/tccv5fo...=power+chamber)

I've looked at the other threads:
http://www.torontocivics.com/tccv5fo...=power+chamber
http://www.torontocivics.com/tccv5fo...=power+chamber

But I wanted to see if anyone with my same engine (and also with a header back) has tried the power chamber.

i dont think that intake is available for your motor

Kyoshiro

Really?
The first sentence says:
"The POWER CHAMBER INTAKE is specially designed for B and D series motor"
Mine is a D series motor?

szuberi

not all d series motors are the same...your throttle body opens upward instead of sideways. this intake is only meant for TBs fixed sideways. Is your motor the same as D16W9?

Kyoshiro

Oh shucks,
Mine is D17A2
So I guess it's different
My mistake!

i'd use a short-ram intake anyways.

i've got the A1 version of your engine...get an injen cai...best intake for our engine...your not gonna get huge gains for this engine anyway but you will get a little bit more up top...looks nice in the engine bay and sounds great too...it'll do better than a short ram...

If you want to make any type of real power in a d-series engine you need 3 things!
1.Compression
2.Carbs
3.Beefey Cam

all that u posted is a waste of $. Your number 1 answer should be FI=turbo

T-MacK

Obviously a turbo is the best way to make power in any car???
If your staying NA how is this a waste of time???
I have a fully built from the bottom up ZC sohc that walks on most DOHC's. Pushing close to 170whp and I'm running 1/4 mile in the 13's.
I'd hardly call that a waste of money there son!

yea thayts what people keep tellin me i can rebuild my d cuzz it is brning oil right now and htne turbo it or get what ive always dreamt about a b16 but what do u have in urs howd u get it to push 170

Its not like I can't afford a B16 or K swap for that matter....I just like being the underdog. I have a K swapped SIR for when I need to flex my muscle!
Anyways my engine is assembled with mostly BISI parts.
ZC sohc non vtec,Bisi custom level 2.2 cam ,Bisi camgear, Bisi valvetrain,Bisi header,P29 pistons, 0,40" shaved off the block,arp bolts everywhere, stock rods with arp rod bolts,Z6 IM, Hondata TB and IM gaskets, Password JDM CF intake witha 2.25" custom exhaust followed by a vibrant black stealth muffler, SI tranny, exedy stage 1 with resurfaced stock fly wheel. Tuned on chrome with the redline set to 8000rpm. Compression is in the 12's so 94 octane only.
Thats all I can think of....I'm probaly missing ****. The engine is in my EG which only weighs 2040lbs with half tank of gas in it....So it hauls ***. I pullled a best of 13.8" and that was on street tires.
