small modes like cold air intake & catback exhoust, new upgrade plugs &wires will improve performance. but if you want "huge" gain go tubo if you have the $$$... how much hp are we talking, you cant expect to much out of (ka)

If its an old engine, replace the coolant temperature sensor which seems to be regularly faulty. They cost maybe $20. Mine was toast at 170,000km on my 95KA.

My car felt soooo much better after I replaced it. It was entirely faster. Best money I ever spent! Read the comments further down the post.

Nitrous is cheap for a smaller shot (+50 rwhp or so). It can get really expensive for all the supporting mods if you want to run a larger 100+ shot.

ROFL.

Five MILLION pounds of torque. That's gangster. Repost.....but gangster.

The crankshaft weighs 600,000lbs and the entire engine weighs 4.6 million lbs.

lol, pretty piss-poor discrete output though. 4.27hp/liter, not exactly S2000 territory.

For the record, if that thing DID put out 120hp/liter, it'd be putting out 3,057,600hp.

That would be insane to see.. I mean, for something that big, 102rpms seems like pretty damn fast.
