John at KMS told me that I will gain 20% hp if I do not tune it. He said like 40% if I get it tune rite.

The people that are tuning my car said that the stock fuel rail and injecters are fine. I am using a safc.

KMS engine development in covington GA.

Quijano187 · 06-22-2004

cant wait for the results

IronFist · 06-23-2004

I thought KMS made the shitty intake manifold? Are we trusting them again?

Quijano187 · 06-23-2004

Better then DH-racing. Everything was on time like john said.

Green Civic · 06-24-2004

Well engine work is different than a im. I just wait and see the dyno chart to tell the truth.

yeah I rmember that the $500 intake manifold from KMS with short runners.

people lost out power on the bottom end.

looks like it is only good for trubo users who want a bulletproof IM.

gearbox · 06-24-2004

Those ports don't look much bigger than stock IMO. Hopefully it will give you some gain.

How much did u gain from the dh head?

gearbox · 06-25-2004

Well by itself, I didn't notice much difference. I've since put on an intake and added more fuel with a vafcII and noticed a bigger gain. I really need to tune it on a dyno to see the best result. But the DH ports are alot bigger than KMS. Still bigger may not necessarily be better in terms of exhaust flow velocity.

Did u change the timing belt when u put the head on?

bump

RedDragon333 · 06-26-2004

the KMS wasnt a shitty mani it was just a crappy mani for NA users. The word was amazing tho

cwick187 · 06-26-2004

Exactly. the KMS IM was a dissapointment for the N/A people, but FI is a different story...John seems to do pretty good work from what I have seen...I bet the P&P job is better than the DH by far

jrock2324 · 06-26-2004

I am still waiting for the tb everybody. Once that come in I am good togo.

Ershall · 06-26-2004

Skunk2ner · 06-26-2004
