MonsterTacho said:Hi guys!
would like to ask u all a question. what piping size would u all recommend for a 1.8 mivec set-up for optimal performance? im currently on a 3 inch piping and wondering if its better to go 2.5" or 2.3" for better accelaration and top end.
my engine is very very hot after some city driving. cant even touch the bonnet as it is that hot. ive checked the radiator and theres rust in it and no coolent so i just flushed out the radiator and added new coolent. q: any other way to reduce engine temp? temp indicator is just arund the half mark.
appreciate your feedback! thanks!

MonsterTacho said:Zeneger: shit, thanks for correcting me dude...hehehe
Speedking: so, mr loon's re-chip increase hp or not? hows da mivec kick?
kwai said:dynoed loon's chip......
before rechip i dynoed my car at speedworks......
131 wheel hp
after rechip can feel the pull.......
dynoed at N1 143 wheel hp.....
with some new stuff inside
eg. 18" downpipe = 1hp
ngk plug cable= 1hp
so u can see, loon's chip giv me around 10 wheel hp by just rechip.....
btw, my car is stock 1.6 mivec nia... :D
loon... my secrect recipe....leh? :D
speedking said:kwai...wat is 18" downpipe???? so big??? :o
MonsterTacho said:But honestly, i really dont understand. vtecs are using 2.2", 2.3" piping for 1.6L and 2.5" for 1.8L...and this is the max they go (i think so la). Never heard of 1.8L using 3" (overkill?). But so far, in my car , its quite power lo...
So i start to wonder. Will a 1.8L using a 2.2 or 2.3" inch piping get better performance(HP) than a 3" pipe in terms of overall ability.
Note: all pipings mentioned are straight flow.
