This will not add power but it will retrieve it quicker: Electronic Throttle Controller. I just added this to my GD3 A/T in D and when it hit 2nd it actually bounced my head back!! twptrade.com 150.00 2 ur door

 

How about putting a Civic Si motor in it???

 

Can't you get a Civic SI for that kind of money?

Have dyno sheet/video?

 

What did you use to retune the ECU after changing the cam shaft? Also, Bisimoto's website does not list a camshaft for the L series engine, did you have it custom made? How much did he charge?

What part number Iridium plugs did you use?

 

Kraftwerks supercharger would give you a huge boost in power but Kraftwerks doesn't make it for the GE. If you do not go FI, you can spend a ton of $ and only get marginal bump in HP.

 

Too bad there's nothing to port out like on my Buick. It picked up ~10 ponies by porting the intake manifold and beveling the heads to make the transition smoother.

At least porting and polishing is cheap. All you need is a Dremel, bits, and new gaskets.

 

you have to call them up and ask them for it. you send out your cam shaft and they custom grind it, and send it back with a new cam gear.

 

as for getting it tuned, i used drt here in new york. they added a chrome chip to the ecu. then it got tuned.

 

What kind of engrish is this?

Reading comprehension>You
I never said it was! I said you get decent gains at less than 1/2 the price. BTW kindly point me to all the GE8 forced induction choices.
well as any fool knows in a 1/4 mile (or get acceleration as you put it) you aren't leveled out at any given RPM for 15 seconds. Come on man, if you are trying to pass yourself off as some supreme know it all, you have to do better than just blow smoke up peoples arses!

 

When running dyno power tests you have run the engine at a constant rpm at each step to get true horsepower. Flash readings are never correct so until the engine has settled at the rpm under steady load for 15 seconds you just have a reading. And most often not accurate.
That has nothing to do with an acceleration test, just with the power available. I've seen many engines with superior power that were outaccelerated by a less powerful engine simply because the lesser engine would rev much quicker. An RX-7 rotary comes to mind. It was equal to any 300 hp Vette in acceleration 60 to 100 mph.

 

If u wanna feel a difference get ur exhaust done it cost me 230$ to get it done and they had to work to get it to fit I had them run2/34" all the way lol but huge difference in low end and passing

 

LOL

Ah cruising the forums today was just the pick me up i needed on this rainy day!

Thx

 

My vote is for the V-tec sticker...you could always skip the NOS kit and just buy the NOS sticker too...but you might want to buy racing seats first..

 

I wonder how much of a power gain I am getting from my NOS floor mats, It must be something awesome!

 

Please note... a VTEC sticker will gain you nothing.. you need the V-Tech sticker for the hp gains. The NOS sticker will do quite well too

'NOS', like 'New Old Stock'? We're going to use vintage parts for a Packard?

I'm getting a PRM intake and a HKS exhaust for a little upgrade, but like people said 4whp add ain't gonna do much evn though it's 5% add. I'm buying these because they sound cool Actually, I read somewhere (don't remember where) about changing sparkplugs to increase about 2 whp. I believe it was Denso IK22. Anyhow, I ran 1/4 mile with my stock GE8 sports AT (no spare tire and the jack) 4 days ago at a local track, and got 3 different times just using "S" mode (no paddles) 17.6 sec @ 80 mph, 17.4 @ 81 mph, 17.3 @ 82 mph with avg reaction time of 0.5 sec. I'm going back as soon as I install an intake & an exhaust to see how much time I can "shave down". I CAN'T WAIT!!! lol

PS: Does Hondata reflash ECU for GE8??? if they do, that should be the cheapest way to increase the HP.

 

Not bad considering Motortrend got 1/4 times of 16.6 @ 84.9 mph in a Manual.
With this little 1.5L car I personally wouldn't concentrate on upping hp but concentrating on other areas.
I wonder if you had it lowered (less uplift drag) and better tires / lighter rims if you would be able to match the manual times.
Keep us posted on your progress.

 

awesome! Can't wait to hear the results.

 

It's hard to measure an 2-6whp on a dyno because fluctuating conditions, even with SAE correction, can show gains or losses that are greater than that.

With the minimal power that the Fit makes and a normal stage, I'd probably be stalling up to 1800 (and praying that I don't piss off the trans and converter) and launching the second the second bulb goes off.

Honestly, I'd bracket the piss out of a Fit. Dial in a little soft and make those guys with their big stall 10.60 cars chase you down and then watch them slam on the brakes as the blow past you at the 1000'.

Sandbagging wins you money.
