clutch ownt give u more hosrepower itll just grab ur gear quivker and harder thus shorter shifting time

Whoa whoa....all you need is a cam upgrade and a tune on chrome or something and that would do your engine good. Who said anything about an engine swap??
And a clutch gives you about as much HP as a sticker would.

alright...so if i upgrade to zex 59100 cam and tune on chrome, which means what exactly, this will improve my overall hp? any idea where and how much?

thanks guys

a clutch/flywheel won't net anymore power (you might even loose a little torque with a lighter flywheel) but it'll help get the power to the ground better.

A cam is a good way of increasing power, provided you have the supporting mods and get the car tuned after the cam swap.

yeah i noticed the torque loss with the light flywheel i put on on my ej

u don't actually like feel a difference u just feel something different about the way ur car accelerates...a negative feeling ahah

even if ur car is completely stock u should still tune it? even if u only changed a cam?

changing a cam is definatetely when you need to tune. Think about it, you're changing when and how much air is entering/exiting your engine, so you need to adjust how much fuel and when the spark is being fired (ignition timing) just to keep things on the safe side, nevermind to make the most out of the cam.

true ok so then i come to this question ive always wondered, besides a weight difference, how does an after market header give more oerformance than a stock one?

civicEJ1

because they say i/h/e doesnt give u that much more power

it'll help the engine breathe as well as it can. Its basically an air pump, so the more air it can intake and exhale essentially the more force from the combustion of air/fuel will be transferred onto the the piston forcing it downward, thus making more power.
There is an incredible amount that goes into a gasoline internal combustion engine in terms of producing useable power, intake/header/exhaust are part of the equation and usually what people do first to their cars to gain a little more power.

hey zeeman, I got a little question if u don't mind. would a chipped p75 ecu be able to run a b16a2? or this is really not recommended? I bought a car that had a "chipped p28" running a b16a2 but when I opened the ecu it says p75, and it has a chip on it, I can get you a pic. is this healthy? because I feel its running way too rich and it idles funny.

also wondering if you have b16 base chip for this ecu? I'm looking to re-chip it see if it solves the problem.

as long as the vtec components are present, there shouldn't be any problems unless its not a b16 program on the chip.

I can hook you up with a stock b16 chip, PM me.

MrX

pm'd. thanks

zeeman tuned my d16a6 minime and it screams when it hits vtec!

I miss my h22 eg vtec.. now that was a vtec you could feel...

BWek

All these crazy kids with Single cams and vtec Eh Andrew.... My Y7 worked over a few z6's and d15b's lol hey you know crazychinaman his uber nice d15b... ya I walked him on the highway with my EK

dam Im gonna miss my y7 Fyi it just threw a rod made a couple nice holes picking up a D15B not looking forward to it

Ah I need you to add Vtak to my Ecu next time i see ya
