325's are I-6 btw...just to clarify, but wow, hard to belive but i'll take your word for it. GO HONDA! LoL

 

Yeah man, F23s have a high satisfaction for those who need a good economy car with a kick. It runs smooth, and fullfills the prophecy of a RELIABLE Honda.

I have had only throttle body issues, and had it cleaned out. I have noticed a decrease in mileage since I got it in 2001, but its also because of the CAI, DC Headers, and Apex Exhuast (its not loud) I've slapped on it. I got in a major accident that nearly totalled the car, but my love for it brought it back to life. And its still good. I've dropped the car, but its too low and I'm partying at scrape central, so I think I may raise it back to stock height, but leave it on the Tokico Illuminas (I think theyre fun to play with).

I am thinking for that torque boost at low end power you can simply get a pulley system. However, it will work your alternator more. I think its worth it however, if you're really enthusiastic about the sportiness of your car. Good luck dude.

 

pulley's to boost low end power? :eh:

 

vtec in our accords 5-6 gen kicks in at around 2300 rpm at full throtle. and aroud 3100 in crusing conditions.
but vtec kicking in will not instantly give u all the xtra power all that xtra power comes at high rpm. i'm never below 3-4k rpm and vtec is always running. thats why i get around 15-18mpg.
in FEB my car game me a record low of 11mpg.

 

dam didnt even realize how old this was

 

are you sure about that? that's insanely low for a factory setting. :eh:

 

yes 999% sure.

 

i highly doubt that honda would set vtec so low in a car who's primary purpose is a grocery getter :thinking:

vtec in my b18c1 doesnt crossover until 4400 :eh:

 

^^ thats why u guys get more mpg. i'm pretty sure that for h22 its higher.

 

oh yeah, i've also got a vtec light, when i'm on the highway, i try keeping it under 80. 80 or over my light turns on! saves me some gas.
