hi mate, welcome to tc

ive heard that vtec controllers are s;;t
a full system (exhaust i presume?)
high lift cams, ive had cams in my civic type r and it beat normal integras type r
so they do make a lot of differance

some mad jap fella done it before it came in

a lot of my mates drove my car and cokpared it to other civic type r
and they all said it was way over 200 bhp, and i done no tuning to that car myself
when i got a timing belt done, the cams were pink, thats all i know

Intake headers make a difference on those.

Re: where to sart on my dc2?

yeah intake and exhaust (headers) manifold,
remap will lower the vtec as well so you come into the power earlier

if youve got money supercharge it

I've heard that vtec controllers are pretty good. I'd go for the supercharger on that engine!

cheers!!!!!!
what kind of supercharger? if i got a new manifold for the teg would i have to get an diffrent one if superchared it? cause i ken u do if u turbo it?? cheers

Re: where to sart on my dc2?

The supercharger doesn't affect the exhaust manifold it generally connects between the filter and the intake manifold though. You can make most fit in most applications.

Poly bushes are also worth considering. Prevtec just has his prelude done and was very impressed with the improved handling.

Re: where to sart on my dc2?

I get told alot of things that i should do but it all depends on what you want out of the car. Mepersonally, i just want a fast N/A car that puts it to stock Skylines and things like that. All i have is a highflow exhaust and i am getting k-pro on the stock motor in about 8 months, maybe some lighter wheels too . Was told that airbox andfilters is fine but you can go a highflow filter but keep standard box as they are really good as is. This site i foundhas heaps of helpful tips.

Now this is a thread revival! I used to own a Honda back when this was started! The stock intake in Hondas are quite good from the factory but of course there is always room for improvement. Lightweight flywheel is a good idea and of course plenty of breathing mods. After that the only way will be forced induction.
