Hey guys I was just wondering, what kind of low buck mods could I do to my KA-E to make it just a little bit more of a monster? I've done the general things already like CAI, new plugs, oils, I've port matched the intake manifold, cleaned everything up a bit, changed all the hoses, etc, etc. I was wondering if there were any little secrets that I could do while everything was still pretty much apart. Reason for me doing this is bcuz for one, I love 240's. Second, I really wanna see how much I could squeeze outta this baby. And third, my cousin (H23 prelude) and neighbor (Mazda 3 /2.3L) talk trash on my car all day. If you guys would be cool enough to help me shut these guys up, I'll let you know how they take the beating.

I have an e and have unloaded a lot in fully rebuilding it. They are expensive to get a lot of power out of unless you turbo, in that case go to the ka-t forum because i have no knowledge of turbos. Otherwise get better plugs, wires, grounding, exhaust, cut weight(free), run octane additive, get and safc or something to fine tune what you have. otherwise instead of trying to straight line your friends modded engines just spin cookies around them

(just a thought) but you could go with a supercharger, just as expensive as a turbo, but its easier to install and less worry (least in my opinion)

-but if you're tired of your friends ragging on you just make fun of them about their front wheel drive cars (i'm a rear-wheel drive bandwagoner btw, lol)

see my thread in this section about SOHC vacuum line removal!

I dunno about your emissions or what not though

this will get rid of the SCV, AIV, EGR, Charcoal Canister, and some other SH1T
