you "can't" do? ok.. if you answered this question, then well you would be a rich man because everyone would do it. there are only a few tricks to free up hp. you can remove your balancer shaft. maybe get a REAL tune (hondata, neptune, etc) your "spoon" program is probably a knockoff off of ebay that is pure crap. you could modify your collector to 2.5 inches.

2. Does anyine know where to get a vtec assembly i burnt mine up i was trying to wire it to a switch that i was going to place under the gas pedel so that no matter what rpm when ever i floor it vtec engages but i wired it worng and burnt it up so anyone that knows where to get one other than a $336 one from a damn honda dealership that would help out alot!

good job. junkyard or ebay. or just learn that your mistake is a $336 mistake.

3. If anyone knows how to wire vtec up the way i am talking abot and not burn it up would also be a great help!

yeah you run two wires from the ecu to the selonoid. its not that hard dude.

4. I want to Cam my motor but i dont want to rebuilb the whole thing im good with just doing cams valves springs and retaners whats the best way to go?

why would you need to rebuild the whole thing? its a good thing if you want more power but if you are putting in mild cams, that should be fine. again, you have to throw down some $$$ if you want gains

whatever ques anyone knows about please help you fellow lude brother out i would greatly apperciate it

yes, here are a few

1. learn how to type/spell
2. learn how to search on the forum
3. learn that hp costs $$$

I know that hp cost money,trust me I've put enough in it to know that,
and I just joined this site so I'm new to searching on it,so with that being said, I wrote this for a few answers not a few smartass comments!
Thanks

P.S- Is my grammer good enough for you this time?

grammar is funny on this site....

I would highly suggest keeping your car stock...for a little while at least. Look around and see what other people have done to their cars. Half the stuff I did to mine, I wish I didn't do. (exhaust....yeah) Believe me, mods get expensive

It doesn't take too much to write a question you know. I like to give answers along with some words of "wisdom". Take it or leave it, it's an online forum with lots of opinions. I'm giving you my take on things. I gave you some real suggestions and you had nothing to say but this? I'm displeased.

Learning quick are we? You probably would have heard less if:

1. You joined pre-owner movement (because it used to be tame in here)
2. A good portion of active members left, I've got to make up for the normal "attitude" around here.

Oh wow, why in the world would you want to do this? So if you floor it at 2K vtec kicks in? Have fun with that.

This forum has been around for 7 years. Most of what you are asking has been answered, AND most people here are tired of re answering them.

We aren't being assholes (well, except for maybe petern ), we're just asking (requesting) that you use some common sense, and search for things. We were all knew at once, and we learned the same way by listening, reading, and searching. Not posting every time we have a question, like how to change the turn signal fluid.



PS

proof read your posts. PO is very anal about grammar and not sounding like you are ignorant or come from the ghetto (most of us are well educated individuals who have no interest in trying to read poorly written posts).

Buy a used dry nitrous kit. Seriously, there are no N/A mods that give you as much bang for the buck.

Go to a junkyard or find someone online that is parting their car out.

There is no point it wiring up your vtec solenoid to a microswitch, as if it were nitrous. Vtec doesn't work like that. It's set to a certain rpm for a reason. If you want to mess with vtec, go buy yourself a VAFC and read the N/A forum for recommended crossover settings. Huge deviations from the factory rpm set point will LOSE you power. Either buy a nitrous kit, or learn how to revmatch and shift your car to stay near the vtec engagement point.

You don't need a full rebuild unless your engine is old and/or losing power. Do compression and leakdown tests to check the health of your engine. You don't need to do block work just because you're doing head work. But remember that the more agressive the cams, the more they'd benefit from higher compression pistons.

Good luck.

P.S. - It's spelled "grammar."
