What mods would increase my a20a1 carb engines rpm limit, in terms of revving. like so the tranny would switch gears later, i.e. more top end speed? and does any company make camshafts 4 the '89 lx carbed?

Openloop, Colt, Delta-theres a few companies that do cam regrinds
cheap stuff
1. make sure your throttle linkage is going "all the way down" when you press it all the way down
2. dont own an automatic

heh, just cause your revving higher doesnt mean your making power.
first step is a 5speed.
Header + reground cam + accel or msd coil + new exaughst + good plugs and wires + cold air intake + speed swap
That should give you a nice kick in the pants.

how much is the speed swap? and where can i get one? does APC make one? how much hp can you gain from doing a speed swap?

Damn, this thread is called low-end torque and there's nothing about torque in it. LOL.
No projects. Life consumes my time and money.
Yes, APC makes one, but you have to put the 36" x 10" decal on your windshield first.Originally Posted by NXRacer
heh heh.
well, in case anyone else was wondering, the speed swap with an accord tranny should be about 700 with labor. That's how much it took me to replace mine when it blew--which wasn't pretty.
to swap in a prelude tranny, it should only be like another 100 or 200. I'm not sure which prelude the tranny comes out of, so you will have to search to find out.
hope that helps.

just to clarify so that no noobies/simpleminded folk are confused, 'speed swap' is the 5 speed swap. . . . . i hope nobody really needed that clarification

I my capslock was off.
Yea its a 5 speed swap. Any 86-89 Accord or 84-87 Prelude tranny will work.
And if you want torque in a Honda you might as well fuggabouit, unless you get a turbo.

Advance the ignition timing!
That should prep up the motor to do more torqin!
P.S. Don't forget to add either more fuel to the motor or buy higher octane fuel to
prevent detonation! (very important)
Have fun.
