In general, Honda's really don't gain much power from bolt ons. Intake, header, exhaust, if you're lucky ... another 12hp to the wheels.
Based on unbiased sources I've read that's true. The advertised hp of those bolt-ons are usually at high rpm, say 6k and up. The real place to focus is on where you drive normally...up to to 5k, depending on your lead foot.
Generally speaking, I think cams and/or head. Then adding I/H/E would make bigger difference.
Basic bolt ons on the F-series engines IMO should only be done for fun and to gain knowledge about your car and make it a little more to your liking...don't expect to get much in the way of noticeable power gains.
Well i dont know now, cuz i have a 95 lx coupe f22b2 sohc (Suck On Hard Cock) and i have an egay power chip, (not the little radio shack resistor) and a ram air intake and i notice a hell of a diffrence from completely stock, i dyno tested it and im now running 162 hp when stock is like what 150 so thats 12 just from thoes 2 things i mean, i just a spoon chip for my ecu and im curouis to see 7-21 hp lol and a 8200rpm redline, and getting full exhaust, headers, and camgear, fuel injecters i mean you'l be gaining alot more than 12 to the wheels
