stoatman Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Just a thought , I know the Honda engineers have done a pretty good job with the engine (B18C4). but I was just wondering how you would go about adding say about 20 HP. SOmetimes I feel like it could do with a little more shove and I dont really want to change the car. Are there any easy mods and how much do people think it could cost ??.

Sega Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Induction usually is where you start, combined with exhaust, cant say exactly what you will get BHP wise though not having a B18 myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastgtir Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 20 bhp will cost a fair bit. £1500-ish plus labour..Straight through exhaust with de-cat 2.5" £200Integra type-r Airbox with cold air feed. £50Skunk 2 intake manifold with 68mm Throttle body £2504-1 Exhaust manifold - Aftermarket or OEM like DC2 2.5 JDM one. £250-£500Integra Type r Cams £175-£300Chipped ECU with a remap, should give you 20 bhp and good raise in torque £120 for a chipped ecu - remap from £100-£300The cheaper way is to add an aggresive gearbox like a s80.. The shorter revs will really make you feel like you've got more power and grunt! Coupled with a lighter flywheel/uprated clutch.. Still not cheap, cost you around £850 for parts plus labour - Box £350-£600, Clutch and flywheel £200-£500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sega Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I reckon you could do that a bit cheaper without skimping on anything if you are willing to do some searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoatman Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Crikey , maybe i'll leave the old girl standard. Its still good to drive , i'll save up and put the £1500 and trade in and get an accord type r . Keep it in the family ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastgtir Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 The mb is as quick as a type r accord!have had both and prefer the civic.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyricer Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 X2 the vti is more drive able and lighter the b18 feels more zingy! But I do love the interior of the atr!! 2.5 k to turbo it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 when you get 20 more bhp you will be like ....... its not enough lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoatman Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 True enough you can never have too much. !. Got to love the accord's seats though . Thats pretty much the worst thing in my aerodeck , the seats are pants. Need to upgrade but I never realised seats can be so expensive and its hard to get rails that fit.
