Don't forget floor mats ...... I think I read that good floor mats are worth 15 HP easy.....
Oh, and big, trunk mounted speakers can yield extra down force for track days, the louder they get, the more down force generated - good for 5 sec increase in lap times .....

I guess you are saying that with these mod(s) - not one mod btw- that you will decreasing weight and therefore in theory increase HP. Although the reality is you are not gaining any HP obviously, but in fact by reducing weight actually increasing the effectiveness of the present HP. If you think these mods will be this effective for you then my fellow Evo owner you have alot to learn.

I think the most weight reduction you will see from the mods is probably 90 lbs and this is a "give you a break" figure. This alone will not net you much more than .02 off you 1/4 time. As far as your downgrading to 2.25 inch exhaust, I am not sure what the line of thinking there is. There has been some research that shows a 2.5 inch downpipe can yield higher hp #'s than a 3" one, but as far as the rest of the exhaust I have not seen any evidence of this. I sincerely hope someone helps you with these questions. I would give one of the tuners a call, Buschur, Turbo Trix, Vishnu, etc... they have a vast amount of knowledge and also can sell you some of these products.

If you are really joking, then I fell for it, and I'm the idiot!!!!! I hope this is true.... ")

the cheapest and most reliable way to gain horsepower and to make your car faster is to just lie about it. it has worked for years. my evo for example has 996 hp and runs deep 7's. i have just under $1200 in mods and the air still blows cold. i am willing to give anyone a ride but i need at least a days notice because i convert back to stock pretty often. i would hate for someone to show up for a ride and not be able to give them a real 7 second pass.

Ok, so i was sitting at work today talking to Chinto from the message forum and im having my brother help install his EBC. Well, i am getting jealous of him now that he's not stock anymore. Here's what i thought would be a nasty setup with just one bolt on.

Gialla hood = 15hp
RC2 Rims saving about 6lbs per rim = 45 hp
Front bumper (from the suggestion of Chinto) = 30 hp
Downgrading the exhasut to a 2.25 = 36hp (much better than any turbo back, if you ask me)

now its a good thing my dad works with computers, cause id have never ever thought of this.

that nets me 126hp out of one bolt on. Amazing

thats roughly 400 hp...which means a mid 12 or better 1/4

i remember yellow fever was telling me to get a boost controller, but f that...i have gotten much more power out of this than any MBC can offer. I love shrimp btw.

I read a post by malibu jack saying to clean all the outsides of all piping to reduce weight and increase tq and hp substantially...ill have to try that.

Btw...you may think this is bs, but coming from a son's father who lets him drive his 85 hp hyndai excel...i think i have a bit more expertise on this.

Thanks for your attention guys. Please let me know if you approve or disapprove of my calculations.



*all info is not factual.
Alittle background history:

otnihc mobil: why u want smaller exaust
TodayIsForgotten: smaller exhaust gives you more hp dude
otnihc mobil: no..
TodayIsForgotten: uh, dude
otnihc mobil: noo...
TodayIsForgotten: gialla hood = 15hp, dont mess with me, my dad is a computer guru
TodayIsForgotten: i know what im talking about
otnihc mobil: ya just like my lizard stickers give me 20 each cuz they are custom made
TodayIsForgotten: probably, i dont know personally aesthetics
TodayIsForgotten: but if thats what you claim,then its right
TodayIsForgotten: so anyhow, yea if i downgrade to a 2.25 inch exhaust
otnihc mobil: why?
TodayIsForgotten: *sigh* MORE HP
TodayIsForgotten: smaller piping = more flow
otnihc mobil: how!? it dont make sence
TodayIsForgotten: god damnit
otnihc mobil: no.. bigger pipeing = mor flow
TodayIsForgotten: omg, wrong
otnihc mobil: less preasure
TodayIsForgotten: if a^2 = ab over 2 then obi won kanobi is a bisexual
TodayIsForgotten: thus, less piping = more air flow
TodayIsForgotten: you can disagree with my formula all you want, but its a page right out of my man isaac newton's book
TodayIsForgotten: i was only kidding
otnihc mobil: ok so why dont u make the pipeing .0025" and be a god of air flow
TodayIsForgotten: no
TodayIsForgotten: too risky
TodayIsForgotten: will really harm the transmission
TodayIsForgotten: so much power from that size man
TodayIsForgotten: plus you run the risk of back pressure
otnihc mobil: how would the exaust harm the tranny

*all info is not factual.
the best most informative post ever on this board.............. bar none
it backed by factual info
what facts you ask??
well...........obi is bisexual .......there i said it.......he is!
f.y.i.
martha stuart is actually erik estrada
well i gotta go this water is too cold for me
later

Wow, for those who took this thread seriously...no comment. Thought a change of pace would be cool, but i see a select few got your panties in a bunch. Good laugh on the dude who actually thought i was serious. For those who missed the *all info is not factual...poor schooling? Its a joke, lighten up...shizit.

but on the lighter side of things, i will be installing mbc, flash and exhaust hoping to pit me at a 12.9...if and when i take my car to the track...but by then ill probably have a gialla hood or something and rims...possibly 12.8? who knows... later

So jdm stickers really doesn't add 30hp???? The honda guys says it does. I was assuming since honda are so realiable, so are the owners. j/k take no offense! lol

Thanks for the compliment air...i though myself and chinto where the only ones who found it funny. I was dying and when no one caught on i thought there MUST be something wrong with me. Anytime man...i know the feeling of going nuts...everyone at my place of work kept asking if i was looking at **** or something.

Alias - it depends on what stickers you put on buddy...type r's usually work well. id stay away from accord stickers though...and type s's as well...

Chinto - glad you got the ebc all fixed up in the few places where it wasnt getting a reading.
