well i didn't have a mod list until i have to part out everything now and need to keep track what i have sold and what i have left, and how much money i have got from all the parts!?

Dyno'ed it few years ago on a dynojet, with stock internal and just basic bolt on parts i think i had about 175 to 176whp...need to find my dyno sheet...

SB, some people .. also listed what engine oil they have used as 改車 ..

My list .. he he .

Esso gas .. Husky gas .. Mohawk .. Shell ... etc .... LOL

for me, it's just a list to keep track how much money i have spent and too bad i have forgotten to keep track with my gas receipt or else i will use that too

moreover, if one is doing nothing more than basic service, using cheap oil and doing it in regular interval ~ i think those are listed in your factory manual already and no one would really be interested to know!? yet if you love your car and in MY PERSONAL OPINION, car maintenance is more important than car mod, why not?

too bad gas is sth that you have to fill, and yet you can't fill it more often than you are supposed to (you just gotta use it before you can fill), unless one says: oh i only use race gas from the states only, then i think u should consider that as a mod too...

peace

nope, i only used a V-AFCII to adjust the vtec point (for a more linear curve) and played around with the air fuel ratio a little bit when it's on the dyno with the wide band o2; air fuel ratio doesn't do much with performance gain as the ecu might have reset the setting after awhile but on the dyno i still got 4 to 5 whp more (and it seems the ecu doesn't reset the setting for the dyno that i have done after that "tune")...

i am sure if i get aftermarket ECU i can get more performance out from the engine but at the same time engine will wear down quicker (especially on the B series VTEC engine, not like the K series the B series likes to burn oil when it's in VTEC and when one tries to get more power from it he probably has to top up the oil every other gas fill)...

also for B series is pretty old school technology so changing I/H/E you don't need a tune as bad as the K series; K series's monitor with more sensors and you will need a tune to get out that extra performance?!

TODA is the most conservative design for all rpm gain and power, i won't call it a race header...

I know people who work for car design studios and these are very talented people.
Changing a few tires, brake pads, suspension, headlights, mufflers etc are just hobbies for the kids. I am not saying it is not fun doing so, but you guys are more capable than doing just that.

sorry guys but i have to agree with peter on this, changing tires / brake pads / suspension / headlights / mufflers etc are just hobbies for the kids, IF YOU ARE JUST GOING TO BUY SOME PARTS AND PUT THEM ON WITHOUT THINKING WHAT YOU ACTUALLY NEED OR WHAT YOUR CAR NEEDS. It's so hard to do it right, especially the first time; that's why those "talented" people just choose to design cars that we can still upgrade afterward....

that's why we are not kids and we choose to do it right, get the right stuff for the car's need!

It's "big brake kit". I flip out when I see people wanting to buy some sort of kit to break their cars.

before the upgrade, it's big BREAK kit, cuz without it chance of crashing / breaking the car is higher...

after the upgrade, it's big BRAKE kit, cuz it will let you stop faster...

多謝提點，我地落場果陣的確係有用呢隻電油:

OMG, now u tell everyone we cheated at track day? in a way i think with race gas the car is soooo sluggish without tune, yet it protects the engine from wearing out much better i think....

can't always go by dyno chart, unless you really really know how to tell the diff between charts / if you are just going to build the exact same setup; yet i am sure 90% the poster won't have 100% of the list...

try to narrow down what u want and go for it; like we installed a supercharger for a FiT today and once you get there, u know what u want next
