I found this link on how to gain 5HP without any mods.....Are you Sh'tten me?....Has anyone ever heard of this? Mind you it was meant for a 350Z I guess they need all the help they can get

FWIW I've done the last Three:

Synthetic Oil

Increase H2O Ratio In Coolant

Throttle Body Coolant Bypass

Don't know if I gained much, but I know I didn't loose horsepower.

 

all smart stuff ... amazing how they all impact engine performance.

That coolant bypass for the 'fast idle' valve on the older Honda motors was always a winner.

Indexing the plugs can be a little tricky trying to get them tight enough while keeping them all facing the same way ... but, most machine shops have shims just for this that makes it MUCH easier and secure.

 

Has anyone ever tried Redline Water Wetter. I use the stuff in my marine engines and know hot rodders swear by the stuff. Here is a link to their web siteWater Wetter

 

I used it in my Jeeps, but never noticed any appreciable difference.

 

there has been several threads regarding water wetter. it does not mix well with the newer coolants regardless of what the bottle says.

considering we live in florida, just thin out the concentration of coolant vs. water. i did this right after i bought my car. just empty your coolant reservoir and refill with distilled water a few times and that will change the coolant vs. water ratio. water cools faster than coolant.

 

^ that's what I did. Make sure you use Distilled Water.

 

I've run water wetter in my S for almost a year. Didn't notice it running cooler per say, but I haven't had any problems either.

 

I use water wetter in my liquid intercooler.

If you're on the dyno you can always find a few more ponies with a bag of ice
