Advice regarding about performance... (EG-6)

Yakuza SG

my car now is stock engine...

i am considering this few options to mod to improve performance

1) Cold air induction or the normal air intake with the stainless steel piping
2) E-68 twin air intake
3) Pivot volt stabiliser ( 6 grounding wire 12 MM )
4) Crank pulley ( does it improve throttle respond by alot ?? )
5) Exedy single clutch
6) Apexi SAFC 2
7) SARD fuel regulator

i'm not modding to win a REX or EVO just simple modding

Any person can give advice on the mods i mentioned...

Thanks...

its advisable to get someone to do everything at oe go for u, since they will be able to decide how to best integrate all the add ons, for maximum operating harmony.

hi,

hmm,saw yr 'list' of mod...

Heard tat the E68 works well for honda car.But i myself dun believe.(sorry juz my opion)

Perhaps U should include these as well:

1.sparks plugs
2.upgrade yr exhaust (Aman or Fong kim)
3.Piggy bag ECU Orbit(Tune by a very pro Jap,NA car cost less than $1k)

bo liao SG

Agreed......
cos if u go get al the stuff u wan form 1 place den go other place fix, they may "chop" you...better let some "well-known" to do civic "place" to do ur honda ba..Better mah, anything can go back...

Mayb "tong" ur pipe,air-intake,etc....lots of "poison" can be done....hehe...

bo liao SG

1.Colder air or change to bigger intercooler cos air wil be denser...
2.Tis ah...No comment...depends lah....
3.Get HKS mayb better?
4.Er...well...got differance, mayb few degree to "advance" it lor...
5.Tis not bad, got friend use..but run in took him 1 week to get best performance...he say, i dunno...
6.Got Blitz also mah...
7.Er...tis i dunno..sorry.
Twisted Evil .Put final-drive(Travelled longer distance wid same rev)
.Change injectors....(more"c.c or ml" more oil mah...)
Put Cam(It pulls the rpm faster)
Can be chip or turbo(If chip better get those not"DEAD" chips,save for futher upgrade.if turbo, u may need big intercooler as wat i write at 1.Al tis is of cos u got good foundations inside ur vehicle already if not, u put liao..true la,,very fast, but how long can ur car take it..get my point.. Very Happy

Haha,where got simple mod, (No offence)te way i see mayb i know wat u wan...no need win rex cos gearing diff mah...BUT...if can glue to rex starting from stop 1st,2nd,3rd gear already Shocked Shocked Shocked RIGHT?!?!?!?!hahahaha...if my vehicle can do it... Twisted Evil ....but which cannot...sigh Crying or Very sad on a day i damm "tu lan"after magnet to it from 1st to 3rd gear,best is if got traffic light place, next traffic light, slow down beside te rex den say..hmmmm u driving a TS???? lolxx..(No Offence to ppl tat drive rex, jus joking only nia..pai say pai say)
If ur honda really fast till can glue STI....den u ask te driver, "Hallow, ur "impreza TS" put the rear wiper how much har?Look lik real 1 lea... Laughing

Haha, dunno if u tink this way, but tat wat i tink....lolx.Even if my max speed at 160km/h but pulls lik rex,tat feeling.....i'm contented

1 very important point...BRAKES!!!!! Change Rotors to crossdrill & slotted..better if got the 4 or 6 pot caliper..cos u can be super fast but cun stop in time..no point..Lastly i feel is hv better tires tat will stick to ground...)

I am having some of these mods on my ride now. Here are my feedbacks and comments:

For the air intake mods, I find that there is an improvement in pickup and throttle response. However, some said that this effect is temporary, and that the ECU will override them after a while. Or some actually says that because you have gotten use to the effect, you will think that it is losing its effect, ahaha, cheem?

Volt stabilisers dun think have much effect on smooth engine running, but should have more effect on getting better effect from your stereos.

Crank pulley, I dun feel much effect. I checked the weight diff. Although, reduction in the weight is 30%, but bloody hell the stock pulley is just 1.8kg. I was thinking - how much engine power do you need to spin this thing? Hence, I feel that this probably explain why I do not feel much effect. But it does look nice spinning inside my engine bay. Mine is metallic blue.

Clutch.... mine is auto , never tried, no comments,

SAFC2 - optimises HP by maximising air/fuel ratio. But to benefit and to be safe, you will have to have it tuned via dyno. So do up all your other mods b4 fixing this up, else you will have to re-tune again each time you do a mod. Itz $200-$300 for each tune.

Fuel regulator - Heard from comments it does help in overcoming the "flat" when you throttle from idling to 2000 rpm, by keeping the fuel pressure up. Haven't tried this yet, but comments does indicate that it is effective.

But take note , mods for improving performance will worsen your fuel consumption.

Dude, this car is very nice to play wif.....

save up a bit of money first be4 u attempt anything....

one of the must...
1) air intake system
2) exhaust
3) Vtec controller
4) ECU
5) lowering of suspension to corner better

Braking system can wait cos generally the brakes are gd enuff for such upgrades.. but well if u like to tailgate others..... do consider to change your pots to a higher numbers.....

The above upgrades will not dratically change everything but do helps in a way or another for further upgrades to be done on the car... Mr. Green
