Under the throttle body, there is a special "torque nut". Take a wrench and remove it. Buy a "two-bodied nut" from autozone. Apply these two nuts to where you took out your one nut. More torque, for cheap.

how does that work and what kind of gain if any is that?

 
Rep Power: 0

you really gain more torque from just removing that and putting those different ones on?

so theres no special "torque nut" under the throttle body?

 
Rep Power: 294

Rep Power: 294

what did you have done to your car when you took off the old bolt and put on the new ones?

 
Rep Power: 294

wow........thats all i have to say

 
Rep Power: 274

is this nut thing bullshit?? Sounds like it. I thought this was a thread about the stupid *** movie Torque..

 
Rep Power: 336

ok listen. to get more torque in your engine you need to stroke it. stroke it meaning make the stroke inside the engine longer for each piston. if you don't want to spend that much then get an intake with a different exhaust. an exhaust WITH a muffler. that way you get back pressure for torque. anyway, don't listen to these dorks. its just cause your a noob. anyway, good luck.

so all this about the "toque nut" is bullshit?

 
Rep Power: 312

yes.

 
Rep Power: 0

are there any cheap mods that you could do to gain more torque? I just got a new intake and exhaust.

 
Rep Power: 336

there is no such thing as a cheap mod. you pay money for horsepower. thats how it works. depending on what kind of intake/exhaust you got, you might loose some torque and gain some hp. if you really want torque get a Limited Slip Differential in your ride. it will not make your engine have more torque BUT when all that power gets to the wheels the LSD will make sure it is evenly distributed and it will be faster than stock. if you plan to really make the car fast an LSD is required.

 
Rep Power: 312

not really, by the time u spend enough money to make our slow cars fast, u could of just bought a fast car.....as far as ur intake and exhaust? well if u were looking for low end torque u just raped urself with no lube, looking for high end torque? u just took away from ur bottom end and gave it to the top

 
Rep Power: 0

so your saying either way i loose torque with the intake and exhaust

 
Rep Power: 312

dont loose it, more like move it from the bottom to the top

lol no dude sorry. if you want more torque, honda is not a car to find it. honda is natorious for its lack of torque. if you want torque, get a V8
