ok now that i got a HP boost thanks to my headers. i definitly need low-end power! the car is so ****ing weak under 3500rpm it's not even funny


is there any way to produce more torque other than S/C ???


thx


@cUr@-TL

 

nope..increase displacement..?

 

only pullies will give you some low end and its not much:o(

 

nice sig...how was the fit of the headers?

 

thanks.



the headers fit perfectly! no problems at all



oh.. would port & polish help torque?

@cUr@-TL

 

not much, other than the 3.5 upgrade or a SC your kinda stuck with what ya got.

 

this is kinda of a stretch...maybe you could rig a valve on the exhaust piping like on the ferrari 575m....back preausre increases torque or somehitng

 

port and polish? lol all that does is basically clean the internals of your engine..for about 2-3k cuz its a lotta work...not worth it at all.

 

Get a G35 or Corvette. There's no way you're gonna satisfy your lust for torque with a Honda engine. They're high-revvers, not torque monsters.

 

get nissan 3.5 engine , good for 274tq.

 

couldn't have said it better myself

 

You aren't playing Gran Turismo...Not really and a lot of $$$ anyway...

Why'd you buy an Acura if you wanted a lot of torque?

 

some cams should help you out if you have a good mechanic determine what ratio you would need for low end power

 

Oh well i guess im stuck with what i got. remind me to get a nissan when i sell my TL... :o



@cUr@-TL

 

Sorry cams available for theTL.

 

what i am doing to increase torque is im will be getting and exhaust cutout and reversing it. What it will do is only keep one muffler flowing for increased back pressure and an rpm swithc will have it open when v tec hits. I will get the best of both worlds and vtec wil sound awesome when my intake and now dual mufllers are wailing at the same time. i did this before on my 2.5 litre duratec contour motor and got really good results from it.

 

bigman, keep us updated



@cUr@-TL

 

With regards to the backpressure issue, deep within this header article is a discussion about "backpressure" and the relative effect on performance.

http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/november02/nerds/

Here is the relevant quote:

"An old hot rodders tale is that headers produce more power by reducing backpressure and by the long individual runners preventing the exhaust blast from one cylinder from blowing into the next cylinder, contaminating the charge on overlap. While this is partially true it is not the primary reason why headers produce more power than a stock manifold. "

 

I take it that you meant that no cams are available?

 

take some of the neons out, it will help u be faster and get more power to the ground.

 

i hate you :p
