Yer ride is always classy lookin' though.

belive it or not but you feel the diff when you drop AC, car feels nimbler, and seems to keep the engine a bit cooler 2 with more air flow in the engine bay and stuff, less weight benifits every aspect of the car so whens the cam and mani going in?

yeah when my ac was removed it helped alot also the power steering removal helped

[BITESIZE]

Messy you should a detailed how to for me. I want to do this.

[89T]

yeah....im planing on taking out my subs.....so it will be faster i hope....i also plan to lose the AC so that is like 100 pounds right there.

good job! but you dont sound so happy about it.
you know to stay n/a there is alot to getting good hp numbers like high compression fully built head,lighten everything from conecting rods to lighter wheels.
i wasn't happy with my numbers either i was hoping for atleast another 50hp more than what i got.

i never asked you what you'r goals are, so what are they?

Messy, you should change your name to "NotSoMessyHonda" cos your car is lookin' good man!

Don't judge a book by it's cover. Messy, a name is a legend. From the words of Joe Dirt. Keep on keepn on!

the poor engine wont go over 6500....but that is where the obd1 swap comes in i can get it tuned for low even even with the cam and once i hit like 3500RPM it should take off...and murder civics.

acg ftw? you can use it to adjust the efficiency range of the cam in conjunction w/ the ecu tuning. but i'm sure you knew that already. but anyways, looks great. i might just say screw the egr on my dc headers, get an o2 bung welded on, and go to town w/ an obd1 swap on my car too. you got me all inspired.

ok....today we installed the Colt tri-flo stage 2 cam and dyno tuned the car. it runs fine. and the idle on it is good. its at like 800rpm

wherever the name messyhonda came from lol.

now u will have to redyno and see how much power that things got

[rudeludenotmean]

the engine hits a wall (cut) at 6400 and wont rev any higher .... don't know why .... Its not in the tune ... grrrr.

at 5800 the cam REALLY starts to take off, but shortly there after, the engines falls on its fac for some reason ... gotta trouble shoot this one.

for some reason it worked on the freeway...reved it up to 7k at WOT.. in 3rd gear...i got up to 90 quick

[Civic Accord Honda]

mine has gone to 7K

[EricW]

I set my rev limit at 6800, since the motor isn't built to go much higher than that with out modifications to the valve train to keep the valves from floating. I would just use a adjustable cam gear and advance it 2 to 4 degrees to pull the power band down to a more usable range. You won't have as much horse power but you'll gain torque which will make the car a little funner to drive.

there's gotta be a way to do this without drilling a damn thing, and i'm gonna figure it out

Why not try EDIS w/ MS? Thats what I'm going with for my EFI setup...

because alot of people talk about they want to do and never get stuff done. im not saying you wont do it but even this swap is an improvement over the stock set up. i got my car to idle even with a stage 2 cam in it. and im still getting 25mpg....only thing its on premium.




THIS SWAP IS NOT HARD all you have to do is get the parts and use some brain power to install it.

[rudeludenotmean]

I concur ... haha

['A20A3']

what tuning system are you running Messy? Hondata?

[gfrg88]

DAMN BROTHA!!! your car has come a LONG way from the last time i saw it on here!!! Good job bro... wat r u using?? CROME ftw!!!

[MessyHonda]

that is an amazing comment coming from you, you used to sit on all these parts and never got stuff done. You have come a long way in the past year. but now your like all giddy and shit, my car this my car that.. it is just funny to watch how stealth you seem to act about it then turn around and swoon about it.
Sorry to call out, no disrespect intended... my point is your car is really REALLY coming together and you are cheesing it up, rightfully so, because I would be excited about it too if my car was morphing that quickley.
