i/h/e/p setup and t damper

[e246]

Well i was wondering of the people who have done the full i/h/e/pulley setup how much power and acceleration you gained, and if it helped in the higher gear passing power.. Also for those who got a torque damper can ya gimme a review of what it helped and what got better...

[navylife59]

I can tell you that I have seen several tC's with this same setup kickin butt on cars that you would not think they could against. Not street brawler status, but impressing the other guy nonetheless. With this setup I would expect around 160~165WHP. With a proper tune witha piggy back controller and 93Octane, I would expect to see upwards to 180WHP. If you live in a warmer climate, you can easily do a TB water bypass for a little bit more.

BTW...Run a 50 shot wet nitrous to elevate to near street brawler status.

Torque damper FTW. All the guys in my club have them. I dont, cuz I'm an auto but Theyre awesome. I drove The car before and after, and ther is a huge difference. Only bad thing is that your car rattles a lot. But if you dont care, get one.....NOW.

[e246]

alright cool.. well hopefully, i mean since i have bills its all i can do for power rigth now i hope i get a real nice increase, ive studied im gonna get the best of everything ark n2 exhaust, individua s pipe, megan header (not best but good lol), nst pulley kit, and injen cai, with the ingalls t damper.. Im hoping to gain 25 plus whp.. I got almost all the money for it.. Anyone know any good sites i cant find the injen cai for less than 260 shipped..

Stay away from the Megan header. It is not worth it, your better off with the Strup/DC-Sports/copy by a few others header. Trust me, you will be kicking yourself if you don't.

[e246]

well whats wrong withem cus i already have them. I got a good used deal on them for 200 buks with only 2k miles onem...

[bdis3]

everything is wrong with their headers. quality is the most. They work tho.

[e246]

ok
thanks

is it still true, that if you change to a lightweight crank pulley you run the risk of damaging the oil pump, which could induce actual crank problems?

i know there was something that could go wrong with crank pulleys...

[navylife59]

The 2AZ-FE has 2 balance shafts that keeps harmonics in check. I know what you mean about busted oil pump drive shafts. I had one on a 302 (transplant from a '77 Ford Granada) in my '79 Mercury Capri. Let's just say squeak, squeak, blah. I have full confidence in the 2AZ-FE. I have been running a LW pulley since about 6K miles.

Megan headers will turn a bad color then start rusting on you. Fitment has been a problem.

Going along with the Lightweight pulley talk, I have been running one since last December and although it hasn't been a year I have had no issues.

[e246]

how do you like the lightweight pulley did it make the car put you bak harder in the seat and help the higher gears in power.. Im gonna be getting this with my i/h/e setup.. and what should i get underdrive or light cranks, and can you get the alt and water pump pulleys when you have a system??

[JRBRUIN7@aol.com]

Yea I definetly noticed a difference with the lighter pulley, thats all i have thought I didn't touch the alternator or the water pump pulleys. If your gonna have a system don't go underdriven your alternator is going to have to work that much harder to put out what it needs to.

Well the agency pulley was the first thing I put on when I first got my car and I kinda noticed a difference and I haven't had any problem for like a year now I think its been a year

As far as I could tell just by word of mouth the megan headers suck, everyone was telling me not to get them, so when I got my headers I got the mmw headers just because it came with a s pipe.

When I get my laptop fixed ill post pictures.
Stupid virus!

[navylife59]

Man, sorry about your laptop. Those Honda guys are so jealous of us that they will do anything FTW.

[thaipnoy]

[navylife59]
