How to increase power on Prelude

[est1989]

x force headers are like 400 bucks sure u dont get as much gain as toda headers which is the reason why toda headers are 900 bucks... what is the power gain difference between toda and xforce is it worth that extra 500bucks? i honestly dont think so...

p.s i dont think toda make headers for bb6 anyway

anyone know where to buy a cai for abb6?
beside jdmyard and ebay

make ur own it'll be cheaper, only cost me $190 and the most expensive part was the k&n pod

Yeah difference would be nominal kw or so, not enough to justify the extra $500, usually people who are chasing every bit of kw are the ones who buy them, or JDM whores.

i built my CIA for like $80. If you goto an exhaust shop they can make something for you and you can buy the silicone connectors. That way you can design whatever you want.

i dunno my pod alone ended up costin me 140 or 150 cant remember was so long ago

theres a knob in the engine bay which sets the car from normal, to race spec, just locate it and turn it up to full, youll then have alot more power and torque.

I thought they removed that from the 98 onwards preludes unless they had the milano red duco.

nah i still got mine in my car man.

If you cant get enough of your v-tec then you can use a v-tec controller to adjust when you v-tec kicks in yo!
It's not too expensive either.. my prelude is non-vtec though =(
heres a site which can give you an idea on how much they cost

vtec controllers do not give you extra power, they merely alter the engagement point which, for a stock or lightly modified vehicle, can actually work against you. as has been said before, a lot of very talented honda engineers worked very hard to ensure the engagement point was at the optimum level so its usually best not to fiddle with it

as above,

they only change the power going to the solenoid, they dont change the fuel / timing maps.

waist of time and money if you dont do it right.

not to mention hondas civics too

mate, my b18c civic eg will kick most of the prelude ass, i cant say all, but but standard H22 vtec and b18c civic, no way prelude win, i am talking about 250kg of difference
