Mission Impossible:Get to NA 150 WHP:Do you accept?

status report:

guy in the brown uniform dropped this off for me.

Magnaflow 2.25" Stainless Steel catback with 4" "slashed and rolled" tip.




if this is Magnaflow's idea of a "rolled tip" they got problems, one of the deciding factors was I liked the classy non ricer look of there exhuast tips. and I get this.



I got this for $350 +free shipping from performancepeddler.com, looks like the saying "you get what you pay for" rings true again. The box was slapped together with ducktape. I opened the package and loose bolts and gaskets everyhwere. Had to make sure I didnt throw anything out.Oh well. what can you do. live and learn. Hopefully if I have time Ill have my header and catback installed tomorrow.

i got the 5sp, tuning a camgear w/ a stock camshaft really doesnt do much, but it will still control when the valves open and close, mine made a small diff on the dyno, not much but w/ tuning the vafc and retarding or advancing it, just trying it out the numbers moved somewhat...

thanks Ill look into a cam gear.but ive heard it doesnt add hp just moves your powerband around. whcih brand you recommend skunk2, aem or obx?

not obx any others are good, as long as there not 3 way adjustables cause they are crappy 5 way or better....

cant believe my luck!! ECU and Jet Package delivered on the same day!!



Jet provided instructions, upgrade specifications, ecu locatin chart, and return shipping box. The upgrade leaves an area for you to fill in your engine mods and car specs(make, model,year ,etc).

Also it states what exactly they do "Modify fuel and ignition and ignition curves from 1500 rpm to WOT. Aggressive ignition advance curve in the JET program requires the use of 89 Octane gasoline, 91 or better recommended for best gains." States majority of Honda engines net 8-10 hp gain

ill be sending it in tomorrow, its gonna be a LONG weekend, is it too good to be true? lets wait and see.

got a question guys, how do I go about solving the immobilizer problem with a different ecu?

also went to friends shop to get exhaust and headers installed. But I forgot to take one thing into account. My car originally came from JERSEY!!= RUSTED TO OBLIVION. All the exhaust bolts and flanges were rusted into one solid mass of rusted metal. How do you east coast guys install exhausts.




see that nub there? originally that was the back of a bolt till the snow and salt got to it

seems like the bolt fused together with the gasket. You cant tell where one ends and one begins.

oh well at least I got my comptech 22mm rear sway installed. Yeah and the endlinks are rusted and stripped now too, so I guess im gonna have to add new endlinks to my list

who said size doesnt matter?


see that orangy black pipe, thats my rustbucket stock exhaust

looks like im gonna have to get my exhaust hacked off at a muffler shop.
