just installed a bigger ram-air (Simota), Denso Iridium spark plugs and a Hondata300 tuned ECU...my previous bhp was
120@6350 rpm... anyone have any idea how much more bhp i gained? coz the acceleration and the top speed is a frickin sleeper!
thanks y'all!

Which engine? Probably about 130bhp now... the spark plugs will add barely anything, just make the car start better and be more efficient. The induction kit needs a proper place to draw still, cool air from to be effective. And the ECU- is it tuned for your car? Or someone else's?

it's a D15Y7 Vtec single-cam...the ECU was tuned at a nearby Honda garage... probably need to adjust gear timings as well...
Good engine. A closer-ratio gearbox will work wonders on it. Try the gearbox from a D14-engined car.

yeah a good choice indeed...i did add a 4-speed close ratio gearbox and twin-plate idle for smoother revs...
u prob gained 5hp if ur lucky if the engine is completely stock with no internal work done its not gonna make that much of a difference besides the way the intake sounds
if your ever trying to sell the hondata plz lmk lol

did some internal work...port and polish, camshaft and headers...
o niceee then the hondata was a good choice with the right tuning u will notice a nice difference
