hehe

Won't be the case for me ...

I know that the engine I've got now is not worth modifying, but the swap is not an option for me ... don't wanna deal with any insurance problems. My premium is already high enough ...

So all I need now is to get a little bit of extra juice out of that little engine and wait for my ins. to do down ...


thanks for your input guys.

Is the car a 5spd or auto? If swapping isn't an option you might want to try AEM pulleys and Unorthidox underdrive pulley. I was going to get my intake ported and polished but I got the swap instead. Doing that and installing an overbored throttle body should give you some juice.

That would be me. My old car was a 92 EX-V, although I thought they were only available in 92.

It's 5spd.

Thanks man, I'll add it all to my list

Do you know any good stores where I could buy the pulleys?
And would I be able to do the job myself, or should it be done at a shop ?

Thanks!

You might want to check around for the pulley kit I think Speedtech can get em. Those you could probably do yourself, but the underdrive pulley you'll need to put the car up on a hoist.

if you're running amps and stuff I don't recommend getting the pulley for your alternator, I've heard that the pulley for the alternator will cause your alternator to fry if you're running too many electronics inside your car
