motor help
I have a 01 ex coupe. im planning on putting skunk2 springs, camber kit, and strut tower bars. I was wondering what i could do to the motor besides intake, exhaust, and headers. i cant afford to do turbo right now. what could i do that would make a noticeable difference?
Re: motor help
Not much. But how much are you looking to spend. I/H/E wont do too much on our engines, you should spend the money doing a really good tune up. Flush everything and change all oils and fluids. And one more thing, skunk 2 springs on stock shocks will blow. So you should get a milder drop if you want stock springs, OR buy some Konis and ground control coilovers if you want to be slammed. But that's just my 2 cents

Re: motor help
I personally would put a Crower stage 2 cam with valve spring upgrade... hence why I have one up for sale! I figured the stage 1 wasnt enough, and the stage 3 was a little too serious, so stage 2 fit my blend of streetability and performance. I have an LX so I was going to swap heads and all this other nonsense, where as you already have a better platform to start out with (D17a2)
