Hi,
I want to know what can be done to increase mid range power on a b16a. Current mods:
2.25 exhaust pipping
crome ecu
cai
xforce 4-2-1's

ditch the cai and go back to the stock airbox. modify it maybe with a larger feed to the boxQuote:

cam and ignition timing can be approprately set to favour midrange power. theres not much u can really do for alot of midrange gain. if ur serious about it maybe buy a b20 block and put ur b16 head on it
Interesting comments I remember spending hrs on the dyno playing with CAI and SRI and a ST airbox was no where near them in torque and topend power.Quote:

Without opening up the engine and spending some money and time, a decent torque gain won't be had compared to what could be done for the same money running a larger displacement configuration.
Simple physics and chemistry.
won't increase power but a lower FD or ITR box helps with the b16's pickup
Every intake we tested was tuned to get the max torque and power out of it we spent over 4 days doing this and they ended up being sold as the Plazmaman Intakes,these where tested on a b16a EK,EG,a B16B engine in a EK then onto a ITR B18c,on my own setup I have a custom Hypertune CAI
