I know little about the ECU, but don't you have to run 92 Octane? Pulley kit; does this replace the belts?

 

Who else voted besides me and Si?

 

I have no Clue i was jus askin myself that

 

So whaddya say?

 

tell you the truth i dont know if u need to run 92 octane but you dont replace the belts wen u but a pulley kit its the wheels u replace

 

pulley kit is accesory pulleys (alternator, power steering) that underdrives them to free up more hp for acceleration. im not sure abouthte belts though. i thinkyou could adjust it to work, but ive never done it, so im not sure. and yeah, run premium with a ecu upgrade.

 

I run 92 octane at all times so it didnt make a diference with me

 

Thanks sacicons. I guess I should start another thread? LOL. I wasn't planning on asking y'all all these questions until I actually started working on the car. HOWEVER, since we're on the subject. What are (in your opinion) the HP gains for these thingskeeping in mind it's an 03 LX Sedan)

CAI
Exhaust
ECU
Pulley Kit

I'll probably do the CAI right off the bat. I guess what I'm getting at is what order should I do these. I doubt the CAI will increase HP alot on it's own. I'm not looking to build a racer. Just a sleeper that'll pass a stock V-6 Accord,Camry etc.

Thanks in advance. BTW, I forget the thread but you were asking where in Nor-Cal I live. I'm in Brentwood. It's Northeast of Walnut Creek/Concord. Also it's about 25-30 miles NorthWEST of Stockton.

 

im not really sure, try looking at import tuners (the magazine) website, they do the power pages when they test the parts one at a time, im sure theyve done an 01 up civ. i dunno, its worth a try.

 

Thanks sac, I ordered a tuner book on Monday. Yeah, there's a couple of local shops that can probably help me out on it. I work 2-3 days a week in Fremont, home of StreetWize. Don't know if you've heard of them but they do some nice work on exotics. Also, modacar.com is located 15 miles from my house.

Thanks again. Good to see a Nor-Cal in here!
