some questions

[pashka]

hi guys, i got 98 year CRX and have few questions :

1.that unichips i seen for sale, is it worth to buy or better wait and get apexi Vtech controller? also how much i am lookng to spend for instalation and tune?
2.how i can make my car go faster on low revs ? ( ts got good top end but at low revs its feels like a bit slow accelaration response )
3. with full exhaust with extractors,air intake,Vtech controller and cams how much power i can get out of b16a

thanks for any help :)

Do u have the B16a2 model?
If do.

1. Personally i think neither the unichip or the Apexi Vtec controller will do you any good unless youve done some internal work in your engine.

2. I think the Best way to get more short end torque is to stroke ur car to a 2L or change the block to a CRV block:D or do a b18b conversion hehe

3. I have no idea.. but youll definatley get more than standard:thumbsup: if done properly

hmmmm i have no idea to be honest what sort of engine i got :D
its an 98 year model but
also do u reckon air intake pipe from ontera type r will fit on my b16a(2) :)

[jackosimm]

you should have a B16A2

Vtec controllers arent that useful as Qwoootz just mentioned...

when you race/give your car a hit, your car doesnt come down from 6krpm (unless your a big granny shifter)... thats if you go to 8krpm in each gear... so do you really wanna spend all that money doing a bigger block conversion to make better low end???

intake, cams, extractors, and exhaust will get you pretty good power... i wouldnt waste my time with vtec controllers or a bigger block unless you were going to do a lot more work...

thanks fpr help then ill just waite with controller and just will do exhaust and intake for now
i think that type r intake pipe should fit to my car , i looked at the pictures of engine bays and the dosnt really looks different

Hrmm i was going to do the same, but i heard the ones from our cars are better??? or it was just a waste of $$ as all u get from it is a nice LOUD sound :cool:

guys i connected air intake pipe today and its so loud , even on the idle u can hear how filter sucks tha air
anyways on my original pipe i hd that air hose connected and some sort of sensor as well but on that stainless steel pipe is only one hole for air hose so i just diskenected that senser and didt connected back but the car is seem running fine with no problems
does any one know what that sensor for?? and should i make custom hole in the pipe to connect it back?
please help
thanks

IF IM UNDERSTANDING YOU CORRENTLY..

that sensor is your oxygen sensor. it detects how much oxygen is going in and it will inject the fuel according the the air:fuel ratio to combust. so yeh. i think you should connect it.

[pashka]

so people who is got that aluminium pipes, how did u connect them back? did u had to made custom holes?

if u look at this one (i got the same pipe) its got only one hole for hose too and that it, strange how they makes them i think they forgot about those sensors:)

[mrwillz]

that no good.
look like ur rite, no o2 sensor hole.

[Qwooootz]

you got the wrong pipe then u shud of got the one with the the 2 holes/

[pashka]

nah i got 2 holes but hole for that sensor is way too small but anyways 2morrow i gonna get exhaust done so ill tell them to make that ole biggaer so i can fit that sensor on there :)

i think the apexi VAFCII, unichip actually quite effective in achieving the extra few kw's at the wheels by corrected air/fuel mixture.
that is if, you have got headers/intake and all that sorta newbie mods done.
you notice that the vtec transition becomes more noticeable(aggressive etc..) after 'these' mods are done, not the best air/fuel mixture as you have changed honda's configurement.

apexi VAFCII/unichip and other piggybacks, good but definitely not bang for buck if your only playing in the minor leagues.
