More Power off the line
 

hey guys, i was just wondering if there was anything out there (other than the obvious turbo and s/c) that would give me a little bit more torque(s/p?) off the line? i have a 99 ex auto ( i know i know.. it sucks) and i need some more off the line power baaad.

thanks guyz

nope not really, a H22 swap

RE: More Power off the line
 

displacement. like a b20 swap or like marty said a Hswap

RE: More Power off the line
 

maybe i/h/e would give you some more ft lb of torque down low were you want it... d-series really only have ok power in the midrange.

RE: More Power off the line
 

well there is always the overlooked..............smaller diameter tires. youll be suprised how much faster you can get out of the hole with a 20" tall tire. also a higher stall tq converter will help........but with an auto not much will help. do a 5spd conversion for the time being.

thanks guys, and i would give it a tranny swap if i... ( im ashamed to say it) only knew how to drive stick.... i dont know how... , how did most of you guys learn? because manual cars are pretty hard to find now-a-days

RE: More Power off the line
 

Driving a manual is not difficult at all. The easiest way to learn is to just know someone that has one and have them teach you. Other than that you'll have to get creative.

Yeah driving stick is over rated...It isn't that hard at all, I was driving stick when I was 14<---little dumb ass kid

my buddy who has a 93 si hatch, taught me when i got my car, he told me to leave my foot half on the clutch, half depressed. and start hiting the gas breinging it to about 2,000 rpm and to slowly let go of the clutch, it takes practise but you have way more controll of the car once u do get it . yo uhave to feel the popint were the clutch engages oonto the flywheel . you can feel it trust me , that was jsut for starting in first gear!

very over rated, 2-3 days youll have it. practice on a friends POS, then drive your hooked up ride

RE: More Power off the line
 

agreed^^ i learned on m moms accord

RE: More Power off the line
 

Just either sell the car you have and buy a 5speed, or do the swap. that is how i learnt, i traded my 92 Tercel for a 90 Civic Si(was a bad idea at the time) it was a POS i taught myself, then found the car needed more work then i thought, sold it for $500 and bought another car that was a 5speed.

RE: More Power off the line
 

just get in a learn. Men know how to drive stick when they come out of the womb.
