What are some low cost options to give more torque to my 91 accord I want to get off the line faster?

Answer 1

Low cost = Bolt On's

You have a few options

Intake - Go to your local auto spot and pick up an intake tube and air filter. Both will run you about $60. You'll get a nice pick up from the low end of the power band and under full throttle, the car will sound even better.

Exhaust - Don't change your stock exhaust. Aftermarket exhausts release backpressure and unless you are running a turbo or supercharger on the engine, it's pretty much for show, and no go.

Vehicle Weight - Lighten up your load. If you have a trunk full of audio or the car is full of just useless stuff, dump it. Weight reduction is a great way to get off the line faster.

If you have a automatic, a new torque converter can hook you up. If you have a stick, you can really take advantage of the above to the fullest.

Good luck tuning.

how about getting rid of the riceburner & get some good old AMERICAN horsepower. reliable V-8's are great, but there are tons of high power, high torque v-6's out there that will spank ANY honda. Savvy?

put smaller diameter tires on the drive wheels. Its like changing the final drive ratio.

Answer 6

a pond of C4 under the rear end should work...
What do you want? Why not go buy a "sports car" if it NEEDS to be fast. You probably have one of those crappy sounding mufflers too, huh?
