hp gain

hey I have a 91 accord dx (f22a1) that has about 220,000 miles on it i was wondering what could i do the get the most power out of it without going turbo or a swap?

[halfazn]

start with a tune up, then read the forums more

OH MAN YOUR IN FOR IT .... LOL

one of the most important things to remember on this site is use the SEARCH , all this kinda stuff is in there just take some time and look , If i had a penny for each time this thread was posted , id be a millionaire by now ,,

just playing but seriously its all about what you want to reach as a goal , start with basics like exhaust , intake, ect.

hot damn.....repost

The best thing for you and your F22a1 125hp engine is to not ask n00b questions like this before searching.

Asshat.

As mentioned search. And try to figure out your hp goals and if you plan on stayin with your motor or swappin it out.

simple answer.....bc i'm generous today....I/H/E, underdrive pulleys, basic ignition, fuel upgrades, ground wire kit and a good SERVICE!!!!
u can actually get 1hp or so by just chaning the injectors to a higher flowing 2lbs more.....add in a fpr to add maybe another 1-2hp (after some basic 2min tuning)...however the fuel and ignition upgrades are not really for power but for throttle response and better gas mileage and such

the biggest gaisn of the above listed would be I/H/E and Underdrive pulleys!.....

now search search search search, there's enough threads out there to keep you busy for days. and remember search b4 u post bc chances are 90% of the time the issue has been covered

How would adding more fuel create more power? Unless your putting more air in... Wouldn't you be losing power?

You said after some tuning, but why would you do that when the stock ecu has been proven to make the most power?

I don't know, that just doesnt make sense to me. Better gas mileage after adding fuel?

[pretty_ricky302]

cold air intake $35
header $70+
hi flow cat $30
Muffler $100
exhaust piping $75
spark plugs $25
spark plug wires $50

vtec emblem $10 = 5 hp (depends on your geographic location)...

the stock ecu is programmed to have the most power and efficiency when given the regular amount of air and fuel, start adding mroe fuel and more air, and suddenly the stock ecu isnt the best anymore

well that is assuming u have an intake mod, a higher flowing tb wil add even more power. i was watching one of my friends get his 94 accord dynoed after each mod added....and the larger injectors added 1hp and by increasing the fuel pressure up 5 psi he got an additional 2hp....this was on a stock ecu btw. after the ecu was swapped, he gained an additional like 2 or 3 hp i beleive after the fuel pressure was adjusted again to compensate for the more agrresive fuel/air curves....umm lets c what else i could throw in there.....he also put on a underdrive crank pulley...not the set just the crank and he gained 8.3hp.....

and as the the gas mileage...lol.....even with larger injectors, the ecu will narrow the time the injectors will open by (in milliseconds), and due to the lesser load on the injectors that will increase the life of them...o and the better spray pattern also helps.....it adds more fuel but the computer alters that to a small degree...i think our cars can handle a 330cc injector. anyways, yea new injectors do help along with a fpr. not alot but it does help.

[92ex]

ok. that sounds more plausible. it just seemed you were saying put bigger injectors in and more fuel and you'll have more power.

And for not touching the internals of the f22, the stock ecu is the best.
