suggestions

[jono828]

I have a aem cai in my 94 si. Im puttin a spec stage 1 clutch in my car next week. I have plans of putting a greddy evo exhaust and stainless steel greddy headers. Besides that, Im not sure what i want to do. Any suggestions in terms of engine work besides forced induction, I wanna keep my car naturally aspirated.

Since you're doing your clutch you should get a lightweight flywheel at the same time. Pulleys are a good idea, some people don't like aftermarket crank pulleys but I haven't had any trouble with mine. Cam gears to help with the tuning. Stage 1 cam (I wouldn't recommend stage 2 for street use). Titanium valve spring retainers and stiffer valve springs so you don't float the valves - maybe a fuel pump or rails for better throttle response. ECU or a Hondata...these are the reasons why us tuners are always broke.

if i were gettin cam gears, do i have to get the ecu tuned for the change w/ the new cam gears?

You don't have to, but it would help to upgrade the ECU or chip it. But like I said earlier since you are installing a clutch and you're going to have the tranny out, you should do the flywheel at the same time.

i kno i should get a lightweight flywheel but i have heard that the rpms dropm off really quickly when there is a lightweight flywheel. Is that true? And has anyone heard anything about spec clutches?

Thats the point of a lightweight flywheel. It increases reponse, and allows the RPMs to drop quickly allowing faster shifts.

During downshifting, rpms can drop off very quickly if u have a lightweight flywheel. i live near new york city and im in a lot of stop and go traffic i dont wanna be concerned about

I heard somewhere that cam gears are pointless unless you have an aftermarket camshaft.

I too am installing a stage one clutch but where can we find a not so pricey flywheel?

You can keep the RPMs up between shifts with the throttle - just don't let up completely on the accelerator while shifting. Keep the RPMs between 2500-3500 between shifts when you're just cruising, or if you're racing don't let the RPMs fall below 4500-5000. It takes practice to do it smoothly and it helps to have a short-shift kit.

With good throttle and clutch control I can shift into the next gear without dropping any RPMs, whether I am racing or just cruising. I've never heard of anyone who un-installed a lightweight flywheel because they didn't like it - it makes your car extremely responsive to the accelerator.

thanks for the replies. Im still debating whether im gonna do. I kno i should but it all rests on how much money i have.

There are some reasonably priced flywheels from this website
