need more torque

[Cavey]

Problem is honda engine's power only comes in high rpm.Imagine driving high rev all the time.

no need so headace, change to turbo engine

To all honda gurus.I've been trying to find answers but most of them unsatisfactory or not to the point.Hope u all can help.
I drive a bb4 prelude manual with 2.2 vtec.Car has been serviced regularly and has no problems.I have a k&n open pod filter and a straight flow exhaust.Catalytic converter has been removed and have one bullet in the exhaust system.My question is how can i improve my low end torque?In high rpm and when the vtec kicks in its fine but when in low rpms i find it very sluggish.I know that hondas in general have very poor low end torque.So what can i do to improve low end torque?Even with cam upgrade the power only comes in in the higher rpm.Thought of turbocharging it but got lot of cons than pros.Hope to get some feedback.Thanx in advance :cool:

change ur straight flow exhaust. straight flow exhausts cause the air to exit rapidly, which is good for high end or when v-tech kicks in but makes car sluggish at low end cause air is absorbed at lower rate.

maybe can try mugen or dc5 exhaust.

also can try micro compressor.

including gearbox? how was the performance compare to h22? a lot difference?

i think power of F20B is about the same as h22a, there are 2 versions of F20B, 1 with 180hp n d other is 200hp.....but the overall engine weight is lighter than H22A, thus make bigger power to weight ratio

Agree on the straight flow exhaust. Open pod air filters will diminish low end torque as well. Straight flow exhausts and open pod filters help increase mid to high end performance but usually at the expense of poor low end torque performance. After all, the power has to come from somewhere right? ;)
