So say your engine is rated 100hp at the crank (just to make this easy), you are making 80-85 wheel horsepower. So if you are making 240 at the crank, you are looking at 204 whp (using a 15% loss) and if you have 280 hp at the crank, you are putting 238 hp to the wheels. In other words, you have to make 353 crank horsepower to have 300 hp at the wheels (still assuming just a 15% loss). _____________________________ 1994 Accord LX four door Bomz SRI w/ K&N filter 194k miles (in reply to legionofone) Post #: 16

If your looking for more like +40, thats can be done. I'd say i/h/e, a cam and cam gears, a tune, and some pulleys would be a few pretty good mods to get you going. AEM and Unorthodox make pulleys. DC or Comptech would be a great header, but OBX is supposed to be good (and cheaper) as well. For cat backs, Apexi and Greddy are great bets. There's also magnaflow, tanabe...plenty more. I know AEM should have a cam gear for your make/model, and I'm not sure if there are any aftermarket V6 accord cams so, you'd have to do a regrind if you can't find one.

Sport Compact Car just ran a dyno on a brand new Honda Fit, stock. Its rated 109hp at the crank, it put down 95 on the dyno. Thats a 13% loss, and on a brand new car. Now factor in that any car more than a couple years old is not still putting out the hp it was brand new, and 15-20% is indeed reasonable. _____________________________ 1994 Accord LX four door Bomz SRI w/ K&N filter 194k miles (in reply to tom15425) Post #: 21

(Headers and Intake) I want a larger TB and Manifold but I would have to have my hood reshaped....for an additional few ponies..... Headers were about $360 and SRI was about $150. stock V6 03+ accords are 190hp at the wheels when running stock 87 octane it comes up to about 200 with higher octane. These cars are most likely underrated in hp department due to the fact that people are dyno higher than stick by amounts that are not dyno or production differences....problem with these cars is: blocks are slightly shorter (by 1/4" I believe) and you cannot use things like CL type S cam on them headers are out since exhaust collectors are cast into cylander heads same basic flawed 5sp auto from the acura cars until at least 2008 when they get the new 4 shaft design) There was one guy who fabbed all the pipe work to get a CL type S blower into his 7th gen but he paid a crapload of cash to get it done...you can find him in the 7th gen section of v6performance.net. at first the the manual 7th gen V6 accords got the same intake (or similar) as the CL type S and they were making more HP although still advertised at 240hp. now all the v6 Accords appear to have the CL type S intake (or a variation of it) BTW going from from 260hp to 307hp is 18.XX%. The headers alone were worth 30hp and the intake was worth 17hp < Message edited by YeuEmMaiMai -- 12/3/2006 10:23:15 AM > _____________________________ Jesus is Salvation White 2002 Acura CL type S. 68K and change Criminals thrive upon the intolerence of society''s understanding.....and political correctness (in reply to xterminal01) Post #: 22
