We Make Horsepower. Period.

Sick and Slick, I'm not just talking about the cars either.

On Friday I was out for half of the day when I lost a battle with some funky shrimp. I came in to find a 94 Honda Accord coupe and a 2003 Honda S2000. The owner of the Accord had purchased a Bride GIAS Kevlar seat from us and we were making custom mounting brackets. This wasn’t your mom’s Accord though. This beautiful white coupe had a H22A swap, and was sitting very nicely on some CCW wheels. I didn’t know you could get those wheels in a four lug pattern, and I certainly didn’t know that were folks out there willing to throw down that kind of cheddar for these wheels to go on their Accord. Obviously this is a man that takes pride in his car and I really appreciate that. Having had a 94 coupe myself I will always have a sweet spot for the car. Mine was not even close to this level though. This customer will be returning for a wire tuck in the near future. Maybe we can persuade a turbo kit in there too. ;-)

Another car was already on the dyno awaiting my return. On thursday we had received a 2003 S2000. This customer had previously been here to get a K&N cold air intake, one of our headers, and a GReddy CAT back exhaust installed. This visit we were installing a Innovate Wide Band O2 gauge, ported throttle body, AEM fuel pressure regulator, Apex’i AFC-Neo (with Boomslang plug-n-play harness), and an upgraded thermostat and fan switch. We also modified his stock fuel rail to accept a fuel pressure gauge. After all the new toys were installed I was to do some tuning. An original baseline run showed the car was making 185 whp. After all of the upgrades were done and tuning was finished the car yielded just over 208 whp. Thats a gain of 23 peak whp, with massive gains throughout the entire power band. The car feels completely different from 4500 rpm all the way to redline. There are not too many bolt-ons left for this car and a supercharger has already been mentioned for a future project. Our customer has stated that the vehicle will be paid off in early summer and that is when he will be looking to push it into the 300′s and beyond.
