what does a stage three cluch and flywheel do for a car? (1995 acura integra rs)?

well an upgraded clutch and flywheel, helps hold the horsepower and tourque created by an enhanced engine. If you have done any serious motor upgrades(i.e. big turbo, bore, port polish and big time spray) yeah you need a better than stock clutch

Smaller cog on the engine, larger on wheel or Axel.\nThat combination will give you more top end but a \nslower bottom end, meaning that it will take more\ntime to get to top speed. A larger cog on engine and\na smaller cog on wheel or axel will give you a higher \nbottom end but you won't get a faster top end.

The flywheel is on the rear of the crankshaft on a clutch driven car (manual tranny). It is the surface to which your clutch plates engage when you let out your clutch. It also has teeth around the edge. Your starter engages these teeth when you crank the engine over to start it.

well you can go force induction (turbo, supercharger)\nneed basics, intake, headers, exhaust.\nthen you can go cams, camgears, injectors, larger throttle body, pully system, hondata chipped ECU.\nNote, after you put anything on your S2000. you need to get your VAFC calibrated.  specs will change since your adding after market parts and its set for stock

not much dude, i think that they are only different by something like .5 secs! i think they hover around 7.5 secs for the RSX and 7 secs for the S or something like that. if i was gonna turbo the car i'd get the regular RSX then the type S ,the compression is INSANLY high and a turbo would only give it trouble..

Yeah, sure those "high performance brakes" will give you an excellent boost in horsepower. Wtf? Add a few stickers, and a really large exhaust pipe, and you'll be drag racing before you know it!\n\nAttempt to reduce the weight of the car, and add performance add-on's to the engine and the exhaust system, so the exhaust can flow faster and more efficiently. The "add-ons" will help you produce more power, but weight is an issue.

since with no motor it stopped the only possible answer is 100%\n\nthe motor had to accelerate the mass so FOR A TIME less than 100% but once the mass was in motion the only power requirement was that required to overcome drag ( friction )\n\nthe interesting part is that if you remove the cylinder and run the motor only the same answer still applies\n\nif you want a different answer then you can rephrase the question - what amount of 'power' did the motor impart to the flywheel or what amount of 'power' was used to accelerate the flywheel ( the power will always be 100% used so you need the kilowatts or horsepower or some other measurement for a useful answer )

That is a little difficult to help you with in e-mail!  What is it- Bicknell, Teo, etc.?  If you call the company that made the car they can help you.  Or get someone else with a four bar car to help you get it set up close to good and you can fine tune it for your own driving style from there.  where do you race?

You're talking 2 totally different trans-axle types.If you haven't done anything like this before,don't try.You're begging for headaches.\nA friend of mine once wanted more performance from a dune buggy,he went to a junk yard & found a Porsche engine from a roll-over(same trans-axle configuration).You also can't beat a horizontally opposed engine for ease of repairs.

There is a gear, at the end of the cam shaft, that drives the distributor shaft. On the other end of the cam shaft, is a gear that is driven by a chain, or belt, that is driven by a gear on the crank shaft. They all work together to 'time' the ignition of the fuel/air mixture compressed in the cylinder. Read 'Chiltons', refer to your car's year and model.

This means matching the engine speed before gear engagement to the engine speed after gear engagement, when switching gears.\n\nThere's no point to it other than smoothness, or if you want to power shift (for example shift from 4th to 5th without using the clutch).\n\n---\n\nNo, it might increase wear because of longer clutch engagement.\n\nI'm not sure what you mean by momentum.\n\nRev matching will be required in a dog box transmission, but has no benefit in a standard transmission which has synchronizers (synchros) to mechanically match the revolutions for you. That includes basically every transmission built in the last 20 years.

I have raced cars legally and illegally in the past and the best way to downshift and get full acceleration is as follows:for example if you are changing from 4th to 3rd(or any other gears) to accelerate or overtake a slower vehicle you should press the clutch,change to neutral,blip the throttle(jab the throttle peddle momentarily just to raise your revs to match your engine speed to the wheels or you will lock up your wheels or get a jolt),then put it into the desired gear you want and release the clutch.You have to do it lightning quick for it to work properly.\nAnother useful tip to be an even faster driver is learning to use the brakes and change gear at exactly the same time when on a twisty winding country road (when going into corners which you have to change down for)this is called heal and toe.First you have to learn left foot braking and get used to the force you apply to the brake peddle with your left foot.At first you might press to much(everyone does this at first because you don't realise how sensitive it is)oh yeh make there are no cars behind you.once you have got used to that start doing it all the time when racing on a road anywhere (as long as it's safe).The trick is when coming to a bend that you have to brake and change down gear for is to use your left foot to do the braking and change gears normally with your right foot so you can leave your braking till later and closer to the bend,because your right foot is already changing down the gears and your braking whilst you are changing gear instead of having to do the same things with your right foot wich takes longer and more distance.\nWhen you come to a fast bend that you don't need to change down for but need to lift off the accerator don't do it.Just gently dab the brakes instead of lifting therefore your car is still accelerating and keeps it momentum through the bend which is alot faster(thats what micheal schumacher does in his f1 car) but your brakes will take a battering if you keep doing it.\nThey are the basics of how to drive a car very fast I have beat faster cars than mine using these things as well as others.If you want any more info on how to drive a car really fast e-mail me igenockey@yahoo.com.Hope I helped and just be bloody careful because it is easy to mess up.

I can barely understand your question, but I'll try my best to answer it.\n\nThe short answer is that you cannot put a 1.8 litre engine into a 1.3 litre engine car. the JPJ will not allow you to do that. You're better off selling your car and buying a real GTi, or better yet, get the new R3.

An H3 only has 220hp from it's Inline 5-cylinder giving it a power-to-weight ratio only slightly better than a 1.5L Toyota Yaris (ouch!). To get more power consider the following:\n\n* Get a more aggressive air intake system\n* Headers - you'll increase power and fuel efficiency\n* Get a high flow muffler\n* Look into a performance chip\n* Wait and buy an H3 when GM finally gets a V8 to market (likely the 5.3 or 4.8)

Go tall it not only gives you more low end torque but adds horses in the entire power band. Not to mention if you get one thats ported it helps atomize the air/fuel mixture giving you better efficiency and power.

The syncromesh, as in the 1966 3 speed 6 cyl mustang, requires you to shift into first gear when the car is completely stopped.  If you attempt to engage first gear without completely stopping the car you will strip the first gear.  Believe me, I did.  It is a royal pain when driving slowly in traffic, people beep at you when you stop in slow moving traffic.  They have NO idea that I need to stop, they just think I can't drive.  Syncro requires the operator to Syncronize the speed with the gear.\n\n\nA constant mesh transmission, on the other hand, can be shifted into any gear regardless of the cars speed.  Modern vehicles do not use syncromesh gear boxes any more, they were phased out in the sixties.
