What will speed up my 0-4000 rpm time?

I've noticed thats my week area. I can take off farely well but getting it over 4000 takes longer then anything else. Once i pass 4000 i am fine. You guys know of anything?

bolt-on's

Hondas make power above 4K!

Lightweight flywheel
Supercharger
Head work
Intake manifold Work
Simple bolt-on wont improve much of anything but noise. Intake, header, high-flow, cat-back exhaust should all be 1 mod. Doing 1 by itself really doesn't do anything besides the noise again.

2L of displacment. :bigthumb: (if you could call it that)

dont go below 4000 just rev the snot out of it every where you go then you will not have to worry about the power loss. But really theres nothing you can do unless you change the motor to at least a d16. I beleive you have a 1.5 with the TB going Si motor would help you alot, least of all go with the fuel injection off a si.

first things first go with the mpfi and u will b happier

Something foreign to Honda's...it's name is TORQUE. I love the saying "my lug nuts require more torque then your honda makes"

haha thats what i was thinking... or you could retard your timing, but that will take away your top end, or you could get a smaller exhaust, but that would also take away from the top end... so basically its a compramise...

Are you serious? You do know what HP is right?!


Catchy phrases are what makes people think its okay to have no HP. :rolleyes:

here we go again (ducks for cover) :comprage1

yeah... hp = torque *5252/rpm ;) can't have one with out the other...

also ducks for cover http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/comprage1.gif

You guys - :p

the biggest thing you can do to make your car rev faster is a LIGHTENED FLYWHEEL.

Drivetrain is the most overlooked thing.

flywheel, clutch, Short gear ratio, Lightweight wheels, LSD

try a EXEDY flywheel, i traded my RC car for a Bran-new 8.5 lb one.

Oh FFS - you guys all beat me to the punch on the torque bashing :( No fair :comprage1

You'd think that after all these months people would get it right - obviously not :biggrin2:

1 clydesdale could pull a beer wagon that weighed 33,000lbs - 1 foot in 1 minute or 500 pounds-feet per second.
:bloated:

8.5lbs is a little harsh for everday street driving

for me header, such a difference..

no bashing guys, its something i used to say when i was totally domestic... but at the same time its true. advertisments list HP figures because thats what most people know of b/c alot of the newer cars are high reving, unlike back in the day when HP and TQ were close together, mostly with ft-lbs being higher... and yes i know the equation, thanks for it again tho... but to answer your question, torque.

i dont give a fuck my engine comes straight out of the box with torque so now all i need is top end :eek7:

Maybe a smaller exhaust diameter?
It's a compromise.
Just get balanced.
