possible gains from basic n/a Mods

[r3dsk4r3]

hello.


i was wondering, since these upgrades seem to be common, what one could expect to see in the way of some bolt-ons.

Intake (any)
Skunk2 intake manifold
Race header
exhaust
pulleys
iridium plugs/new wires
cam tuning (done correctly)

also.... I know for larger engines there is an exhaust component called and offroad x or h pipe. it eliminates the catalytic converter from the exhaust system, freeing up the flow. i am new to smaller engines and was wondering if there was anything like this, and what it is called...

if there is add it to the stuff up top.

sorry to be a pain, but the manufacturers seem to make claims of huge hp gains.

i think i might have found what i was looking for...

from the description that seems to replace the catalytic converter...

yes but unless your going turbo, you "smaller" engine needs a certain amount of backpressure for low end torque. so getting a compltley free flowing exhaust may not be a good idea.

[civickiller]

its up to him, he sacrifices low end tq for top end tq.

[Greenblurr93]

true, but i believe civics dont have a lot of torque as it is, so why sacrifice?

[civickiller]

because when your racing, you arnt in the low tq, your in the high rpm tq

[Greenblurr93]

i know this, but he never said he was racing, either way, its up to him.
