How can I make 20HP?

[JDM_GUY]

I have a full 2.5" exhaust, a 2.5" CAI with K&N filter. Full limited slip diff.
What other mods within a cost factor of 10 gran, can I produce an additional 20HP or some what close to it? Staying NA that is.

How much would a EM give me?

Nitrous Assisted

cams,ecu,headers,port intake you have alot of options thats off the top of my head, Check ignition timing

[Clerique]

Sell the swap, put the difference and get a B18C swap.
Don't say I didn't tell ya!

[CD4Accord]

You running 2.5" without any header or any head or internal engine work?
I would consider that quite counterproductive, and you probably lacking badly on the low end...

Start with a header from a reputable company (basically buy something NOT sold here) and then cam and tune...

to add Get an ITR swap

actually JDM 2.5 is tooo big for a Stock b16a

20whp on a $10k budget

as Hatch suggest NOS 50 shot

HSI to get 20whp is ecu to tune,proper header, some cams and intake


but from my messin with my b16 and b20

best coin spent is on a 98 + ITR swap

-and Yes a B18c ITR is the answer to all NA B-series needs

u must be insane to spend 10 000 to get 20hp

*option 1 :staying n/a
u can get cams , port the head , shave the head , get a hondata .

*option 2: NOS = easy cheap power , a properly tuned b16a on nos will beat any stock /slightly modded k series on the 1/4 mile any day.

budget builds are becoming a thing of the past it seems , most ppl buy a set of
unnecessary stuff for their cars ask people who have fast cars and make power on the dyno for advise not men who go street drags and beat up a set of dead cars and think they are fast.

ask your self what goals u want, do you want to beat sr20det s, or sr20de s


if u want to be beating sr20det s constantly , u know boost or heavy nos is the option

[A172]

^i think you should be a bit more specific as your statements could still be a bit misleading

beating a sr20det is a walk in the park....any deadhorse cud pwn one of those

aim to wash sr's running high boost/ big tobos and management

[haydn28]

well a172 most of the n/a guys think a K series is fast but i've Personally tuned a 1.3L 4efte engine on 8psi td04 turbo that will beat any stock / slightly moded K series .

it goes to show that n/a costing $$$$$$ does not make sense compared to boost which is nice on the pocket. which is my point just opening the doors of power and not making any false statements here too . keeping this in mind jdm guy can make his own decision

[Rooki3]

10k for 20HP

WTF??

bai take that 10k to the bank & get a loan for B18C-r

[Clerique]

Who the hell talking bout drag racin' and beatin' SR20s?

Steups!

[No Fear at all!!!]

NNNOOOOSSSSS!!!!! go NNOOSSSS!!!! Cheap and easy to use..
According to what you want to do..CLERIQ gave a good suggestion in going B18c-R and let cleriq give you some advice on proper gearing...
However, if you want to stay in the B16A area the spirits of NOS are speaking!!!!

[Hirotoshi]

stage 2 cams,adj cam gears with full valvetrain mods,mild porting, type r pistons & reduce your exhaust to 2-2.25 inch tubing,get on the dyno & tune .

[JDM_GUY]

I am not building a drag machine, If I was the NOS would be the option. I am building a car to drive and enjoy especially on the winding roads. My suspension and brakes are alright for now, just was interested in a little more power.
I guess I will take a B18C route.

[wagonrunner]

Steups!

tunnel vision still affects many brother. That's their barrier.

[CD4Accord]

If you begin to add more power you will soon realise that your suspension and brakes wont be "alright" for long....

Who advised you on putting a 2.5" exhaust? we can all unanimously agree that you did a piece of arseness there...
On my F20B2 with a built up head I am running 2.25" and that is still slightly too big until I do further head work....

[mugen power]

I have a full 2.5" exhaust

Like you don't know what you have.

This vehicle has a 2.38" manderel bent Fugistsubo catback.

[CD4Accord]

Very good design of exhaust but still far too big for your application...

I guess that leaves you no choice but to build up to meet it...

Take a look at the N/A for noobs sticky.. great start

[Rooki3]

wasting time keepin it N/A, boost on a budget & you'll gain 100hp easy

[CD4Accord]

I agree that boosting is the ideal option, but if he said he wants 20, i telling him how to make 20 haha

[bluesteel29]

link ah case ah nos octane boost,slap on ah blox or skunk2 intake manifold n call it a day until ya could link d 18...

[speedemonz]

BOOST DA SH!T !!!!!!!!!!!! 8psi tuned on that engine sweet..............

[High_Speed_Imports]

20hp not whp. Which with cams and a hondata he will surely pass his goal

[VexXx Dogg]

Who the hell talking bout drag racin' and beatin' SR20s?

Steups!

Cuz you know a couple of sr20's would fetch prime one week before race wars.
