I put it in around every 1500-2000 miles. After i fill up. No need to go crazy and add fuel injector cleaner every time. And i can remember when i was a kid my dad using lucas.

thx for the reply. it's 4cly auto. what is I,H,E ? thx
I'm just worring about being another honda tranny victim. MPG is less an issue comapring to the tranny bill. What I'm experiencing is not tranny slipping, right?
The tranny is not slipping. If you don't feel any jerks in gear changes your fine. You will know if it's slipping trust me. Mine sometimes slips into neutral for a second. The tranny is very scar to worry about for us lol. But your fine. Maybe you might need a tune up?

with the mileage and all when was your last tune up? your mpg seems off and considering your power reduction i would say. new ignition, sparks plugs, cap, rotor, wires. then also consider your air filter. when was your last oil change? these being bad can really kill performance and mileage. also do you notice any rough idling with the car?

If you really want to make it significantly faster, I can help you locate a really nice nitrous setup.

For me what it does is when I first start driving it when it goes to shift into 2nd it will slip into neutral for like a second then go into 2nd gear. So usually when the tranny slips it generally goes into neutral. I'm sure if you search up tranny problems on here you'll find a lot of them.

^ He's a hustler, be careful!

just kidding. Great kit for the $$$.


I think we just might be dealing with the fact that Honda's are not Formula 1 cars... at least not the ones us consumers can purchase.

A lot of people are making posts like they intend to augment at 100HP or above. At this level, the gas part of the wet system can pool, throwing off the A/F majorly ..... leading to engine damage or death. Direct port is mandatory for this kind of shot. Direct port is more expensive than a single fogger setup.

My buddy actually would like to spray 80HP on his S2000, but needs the money. If it's still around when he gets back on his feet, that'll be 1 super fast car! It already redlines at 9200!!!
