performance Upgrade or ??

[mackkcam]

Is this upgrade would really give me a change in my performance? if yes, how much (in percentage).

Ride: Honda City 96 1.3 (all stock)
Upgrades:
Air Intake (standard Simota + K&N filter) + HTW (hi-tension wires);
do Port & Polish, then
Install headers (4-1, is the suggested, i think) + Exhaust pipe + Mufflers 1.5" inltet (i think);
install Dome Pistons;
Mild cam - CAM-5

would there be any performance, or somethin missing or something wrong,
not a turbo setup, just improve stock car performance..

I am guessing the gain will be less than 10 hp. But I am no expert.

why don't you just drop in a d15b surplus so you'll have VTEC? there's really no substitute for real displacement, you know.

ang mahal ng aabutin ng mods na ni-lista mo. might as well get a bigger engine and start from there.

ano yung mild cam? cam-5? camgears? if camgears... why? on a 1.3 car the gain won't be that much. even if you find a way to put everything you listed in the engine (at considerable expense), malayo pa din sa performance ng STOCK 1.5 or 1.5 engine yan na may vtec.

^^ +1... tama mas mura pa kabit ng d15b kesa sa upgrade mo. iba talaga younger bro ng b series! sa city pa nakalagay, halimao yan bro! no need for turbo and bla bla upgrade, stock d15b is a powerful engine.

Maybe get 20hp out of it... I don't know the pistons you're talking about... the compression would be the telling factor.

But most important is engine management. Get a Hondata for your engine or even the Unichip. Auto_Xer says that the City's box has fightback at low rpms, but you can tune for lots more power at high rpms. Friend just finished his car... IHE (intake, header, exhaust) net him only 12-15 hp more than stock... with the Unichip, he got another 11 hp... PEAK. 15 hp more in the midrange.

But for the 1.3, spending a ton of money making a 60 whp car 90 whp is pointless. You could upgrade rather cheaply to the 1.5, which would get 85 whp already without touching the inside of the engine (up to 100+ whp with IHE and chip only).

For the cost of what you're looking at, pistons, PnP, camshafts, etcetera, you can even get Speedlab's turbo kit. 120-140 whp from a 1.3. Now that's value.

Doing the mods you have in mind are okay for a spec-racer looking for an advantage, but truthfully, even with those mods, a 1.5 jazz with a simple IHE tune-up woud still leave you for dead.

ic, so how much naman kaya aabutin ung D15B engine?? ( ito ba ung nsa Civic Vtech na 1.5??) magkanu kaya abutin yun? well, comments lng nung mekanik ng tito ko, kung konting performance lng ang habol, pero kung slight perfromance lng ang plan? IHE ba pwede na? then maintain maintain and maintain na lng??

ung I ba sa Intake is Air Intake lng? di ba may isa pang intake? sa may exhaust manifold ba yun? medyo nalilito ako eh, hehe

plan ko lng tlga is a Day2Day driving na may Edge, simple car performance lng, magkakabit kc ako ng audio sa trunk and medyo mabigat kasi, im not on Drag, pero circuit pwede pa, medyo napupurohan ko muna ung sa Suspension ko para pagliko ko sa Tight Curves, mag drift school sana ako, kaso mukha "ATA"ng kayang i-self na lng ang pag aaral? pero not tried it yet, hanap pa ako 2nd hand na gulongs...

If there would be any performance gains, it would probably not be worth the cost to attain it starting from the existing 1.3L engine. An engine swap with a D15 or D16 engine would be simpler and attain more power while the engine and exhaust is still stock.

Yes it does. The outlet of your exhaust system has an effect on your power. I just don't know what's ideal for your set-up.

ay ganun ba, so problem nga ung sa midpipes, try ko icheck with the shops I have called up kung meron silang 1 and 3/4 na pipings...

Add ko na rin, Feedbacks from HP racing? have called them up also, medyo 2x the price ng mga headers sa other aftermarket shops...

[niky]

What's the price?
