1997 1.6i vtec honda chip

[Denzel]

Hi all, i own a Honda vtec 1.6i vtec and i want to increase the power a bit, i was told that by chipping the car i would get excellent power increase at a fair price! but thing is what chip i install???

any idea's???

Don't bother chipping the engine mate. Not worth it. Is the car standard at the moment?

 

[Denzel]

The car is completely standard, the only thing that i have done is a 63mm exhaust upgrade with Piper Exhaust's. no branch.

why do you say that i must chip the car? please explain i really would like to know!

thanks.

Honda's don't gain much from chipping. You'd be better off with a cold air induction, fast road cams and a 4 branch manifold.

Nasp cars in gerneral from the 1.6 your only looking at 5-7 bhp.
follow princes ideas hes done a lot of reasearh into this

By Installing all of this would i there after need a chip for tunning the air fuel etc. what fast road cams do you suggest?

thanks for all the info guys!

How much power are looking for?

 

[Denzel]

well i was told that my honda has about 118kw i think on the fly??? i would like to bring that to the wheels if possible or round it of to 120kw on the wheels!

what should i do?

 

[Prince]

What's that in BHP?

Getting the power to the wheels can be done.

 

[Denzel]

i think it 158.238 BHP, given this calc!

1 HP = 0.7457 KW / 1KW = 1.341 BHP

Ok...to get 160 bhp to the wheels you'll about another 20/30 bhp. Go for the mods I've already said about above...and get a set of performance tires. Personally I have Lexani tires. Once you have done all of that, get it dyno'd.
