So, Gearbox, in your personal opinion what parts would you say made the power? Exhaust, intake, maybe the cam gear? Wich combo, cause you know some of those parts helped more than others just wondering if you could feel wich ones.

so much for believing there was hope in an auto trans, but still im sure you get high 30s mpg dont you gearbox? i wish i had my manual now, o well i think i know what im going to do now

actually haven't measured mileage yet. last i saw city 26 and highway 42 before exhaust.

this is just imo on these estimates based on what i've seen on the dyno

vafcII - 1 or 2 hp across the powerband. i almost didn't need it looking at the a/f. I think the richness of the stock ecu and all the mods cancelled out. They only added +1 and I'm running 14:1 at hi throttle. They added some low throttle too.

typhoon intake - 1 or 2 hp but gained more low end. Much better acceleration from a stop.

pnp head and header around 10whp, made the most gain by itself without any other mods.

exhaust around 3-5 hp and the rest cam gear.

Its hard to say because its an auto so i'm sure a manual would be alot different as far as power goes. But the car does feel alot more responsive when you get on the gas.

I'm sorry dude but I feel bad for you. You have done all that and still nothing. I have a 2005 Civic VP and it ran 95hp and 98lb stock. I have added a Nopi #1 muffler and #1 intake and it now runs 105hp and 113lb. I don't know how much time ya'll took on your tuning, but you need to do some more.

how much was the pnp?

Damn as much as you spent on all that I think you'd have had enough to turbo... I would have gone that route...JMO... Or save it and just do a swap..

thats funny I was pulling about that with my AEM intake and exhaust .. but of course now I still have the turbo.. quite interesting results though

you guys have to remember this is an auto. It starts low at 90whp and every mod you add gives less hp than it would on a manual.

pnp cost $740 for the work, $150 for headbolts and gaskets, and $250 for labor (friends installed it, took 12 hours with breaks).

ok man everyone on here is say that its not much HP....

I know what your saying man and I feel you cause my rides and auto too... But I'm done w/ mods unless I go turbo or swap... JMO...I dont know though cause turbo would be more fun you know BOV sounds and spoolin sounds and such but a swap would be much more reliable... Those are just my thoughts..

hey my auto is a monster to waht it began as with an AEM intake and exhaust.. the poor automatic put down 90 hp and 90 ft lb of torque then I went boost crazy and had the Tranny built using the TCI auto master overhaul kit and torque converter as well as stage 2 SV halfshafts from Drive shaft shop. After all was said and done running 12 psi on a built auto matic tranny while keeping it sleeperish as possible

Ashhole

iTrader: (5)

wow didnt realize pnp was so expensive. so you did hte whole thing in one day?

SLO REX

iTrader: (19)

Yes, I am sure those two mods added 10 hp...I am calling BS.

Also keep the d17 n/a going bro, not many left that are going for hp...

acidbaby

iTrader: (15)

plus you are saying that you are making quite a bit more torque than HP
intake and exhaust with tuning dont do that...
maybe thats what the side of the box told you!
if it was that easy there are alot more people with your setup.
beleive me we have tried them ALL!!!

nice you have an auto right? See once it gets cold my car really starts to feel good. Then when summer comes I start complaining

Ashhole

iTrader: (5)

i love cold weather. car so much more repsonsive

Valdeezy

Yeah I'm callin that sketchy at far. There is now way exhaust and an intake 10 hp and 15lb or tq. I'm at 114 hp and 108lb of tq and thats with what u have plus a VFAC and a header. I would say go get redynoed the guy lied to ya.

joe6680

Gearbox did you do a throttle body heater bypass? That may help a little and its like 2.00 for a hose.

gearbox

iTrader: (95)

it its useless and can affect idle. It only lowers intake temps by 1 or 2 degrees. Anyway...this setup was a failure and I'm now saving for turbo.

So THAT's what you bought my injectors for lol

gearbox

iTrader: (95)

haha! i hope this is a lesson for everyone. Don't put dumb NA mods on your car. You will spend double what you would on a turbo and make 1/2 the power.

iTrader: (11)

Some people respect N/A more, and it's easier to be a sleeper

dadawads

I saw a dyno result from a 5 spd manual LS Integra... the basic one most guys have. It had 122 WHP. So if you increase your hp by 10, you're matching the Integra. (Manual EXs typical have 111 WHP) Not bad at all.
