What aftermarket parts give the biggest hp increase on h22 motor - Honda Prelude Forum

BlackwidowLude · 01-04-2003, 08:23 PM

ok, need some help here guys,,,

what parts would you say give a h22 the biggest hp gains, such as header, vafc, etc.

i got a 93 vtec with the following for performance:
act stage 2 clutch
cold air intake
breather filter
nx kit is on its way
aem fuel rail is on its way
exhaust

I say cams.

[SUB[EX] · 01-04-2003, 10:13 PM

Well its kinda hard to say.
If you get cams or any other stuff like that the gains will be minimal without intake/header/exaust. You gota kinda work your way up.

But it looks like your on your way, i would go with a Header first.
I wish i had parts on the way for my baby.

/\/\ very true, my bad, I thought you already had those parts. Deff. do i/h/e before cams.

BlackwidowLude · 01-05-2003, 01:23 PM

i already have the parts listed above in the thread<<<<

SMSP header, i think it made 182 with a cai and flywheel only...

ah, here it is:

"This is a stock H22A with a stock ECU, CAI and lightened flywheel."
182.81hp, 144.30 torque

i believe the prototype header is going for sale soon

wats an smsp header and where can i buy one?

i believe the answer lies in the correst balance of parts....i have i/h/e/vafc/cam gears...and running a GSR ecu...ive never dynoed mt car, but i would assume its WHP output is quite healthy....im gonna guess it at around 190-195 whp....it has pulled 101.79mph in the 1/4 traps...best time is 14.006...aem is the best intake....i believe greddy and SMSP are the best header....apex N1 is the best performing exhaust...ive tried others..and cam gears make a very good difference...even though people swore they6 do nothing with stock cams...they gained me 3 tenths in the 1/4....and these were harder tenths seeing as i went from 14.3 to 14.0...as your times drop...it takes exponentially more power to drop tenths...peace

im guessing pullies wont give you anything, also why CAI?? will short ram give the same results seeing you mostly want torque for 1/4.

Well more low end torque will maybe help you get through 1st gear. As far as torque in general you always want more. If you gain torque farther up in the powerband you will effectively gain more hp. Pullies give gains all across the board anyway so they will help in the 1/4 mile.

in this order I would go
I/H/E/P/CAMS+CAMgears/VAFC/FRAIL+FPR/Ignition/NOS/C&R Radiator+colder thermostat

some of those can be reversed

Hey preluderacer, I am impressed as hell at the word "exponentially"

that sounds like a great word, now I am sure that me and a few other members would like to know what the hell it means?

i god i come to the board to get away from calculus, and hear it is, more math terms for my daily viewing pleasure. shoot me now

sorry for the whore post: I would say get the usual I/H/E first... doesnt matter what order, just get them. then go for the big stuff, V-AFC, gears, and when all is said and done, get your car dyno tuned.
