Honda Performance: Is It Achievable?

No doubt if you are reading this article you are looking to make your Honda go faster. The good news for you is that there are thousands of Honda performance parts already available that can dramatically increase the horsepower your Honda engine delivers and therefore increase it’s performance.

When Honda engineers design a car there are a number of different standards and protocols that they must conform to. These protocols, of which you don’t need to follow, lead to several inefficiencies in the design of their engines. Luckily aftermarket parts manufacturers have created systems to solve these issue so you can get the maximum Honda performance out of your car. The engineers must build a car which passes strict emissions, sound and comfort rules and regulations but luckily they don’t apply to you.

The first, and most important step, is to make sure that the engine can breathe properly. Begin on the intake side of the engine by upgrading your Honda air intake. Preferably get a cold air intake system which routes cold air from behind the front bumper straight into your engine. Cold air will always make more power than warm air.

The next step is the move to the other side and eliminate the factory exhausts system. The headers in particular are a major Honda performance obstruction. These should be replaced with aftermarket stainless steel headers with either a 4-2-1 or a 4-1 design, depending on what sort of power you wish to achieve. A larger bore exhaust pipe must then be added so the exhaust gasses can flow freely out the exhaust system.

The standard ECU (computer) is fine for a standard engine but now that you have upgraded it the ECU itself needs to be upgraded. You need to upgrade to a system which offers maximum tune-ability if you want to take advantage of your new parts.

Once all this is complete it is likely that your car will have been completely transformed.With these modifications you can probably expect a good thirty per cent extra power, but this will depend on which Honda model you have. Remember the key to Honda performance is getting your engine to breathe properly.
