does a splitfire high tension wire and spark plug give an advantage toa car?(part.96 vti civic auto.trans.)?

a plug is a plug and wire is a wire..the only diffence is how long it will last..and how resistant it is to electrical loss.......use stock plugs.....just like buying bosh 4 plugs for a car..and most the time they suck....

yea.. just gotta kno how to to drive.. better in tiptronic or stick tho.. and u can race a crappy car but its better to do it wiith a stock v8, v12.. or the new w12 volkswagon/audi engine... talk abt rippin stock ass!

No , At least not the ones you buy at the automotive stores..\nThe idea is that magnets can change the polarity of the petroleum molecules and increase the combustion efficiency\n Now in theory "Yes" it would work. Magnets can soften water by the same effect . They cause the magnetic bonds to change (line up) cause the bond to breakdown and metals in water can not bond to form calcium deposits and rust stains..But gasoline is not introduced into the combustion chamber in a free flow manner..If you could place magnets That contain a very Strong field ( about 3 times stronger than the one the stores sale) and place them right at the fuel injection port. You could see an increase in burn efficiency\n\nNow you ask how do I know this. If you look up Elwood Haynes on the Internet. You well see he was one of America's automotive pioneers. just about all of my family since Elwood have been in the automotive.aerospace industry.. Before I became a hospice Pastor I worked as a experimental aerospace engine designer. developing new high temp alloys for jet engines and other projects..So I am not yanking your tail with this answer. If you want to buy something that will give you better performance and gas mileage buy a copper core spark plug and there are spark plug wires made that contain sequential fire capacitors in them. They are expensive but do work..So i don't' know the name of the wires but I could find out for you..

Just jam yer foot on the brake, then stomp the gas.  The engine will overpower the brake on the driven wheel.  \n\nYou are already screwing up your car, why not burn up the brakes too?

On GM cars with point type ignition systems like yours (vehicles made before 1974), there are two small terminals, one on each side of the large center one that connects to the positive side of the battery. The small terminal with a letter "S" near it is the one that activates the starter when you turn the key. Many times GM used a purple wire going to this and it was slightly larger in diameter than the other small wire. The other terminal has a letter "R" near it and is used to provide a full 12 volts to the ignition system for a hotter spark only when starting in order to start more easily. This wire lead back to the power supply side of the ignition coil. If you connect the small wires to the wrong terminals don't worry because the only problem will be when you turn the key nothing happens. Many times people have connected them wrong and when it wouldn't crank they simply switched the wires and they were ready to go. If there are any other small wires, it should have a large diameter ring to attach where the positive battery cable goes. This is how some GM cars had a feed that lead back to the alternator so the battery could be charged.

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.

That is a function of\n\nH = I^2 R t {a quantity of heat generated by a current applied for a time across a resistance}\n\nH=Heat in joules {1 joule = .24 calories\nI=Current in amperes\nR=resistance in ohms\nt=time in seconds\n\nIf you wanted to make the equation a rate\nJ/s=I^2•R \n\nSo what you need to know essentially is the resistance of your wire and its heat dissipating capacity\nthen you can balance the impedance with heat loss\n\nAs for a cigarette lighter in a car look at the fuse size and multiply by 12 volts to get wattage {a rate}\n\nA thinner wire will have a greater resistance\nA longer wire will have a greater resistance\nand both will lead to greater heat loss through surface area\n\nThe best thing you could do is place a rheostat and an ammeter in series with your wire and experiment\n\nAlso remember that the resistance of your element will increase slightly as it grows hot this principle is called impedance

You better find out if your transmission can handle the extra power your planning on adding with that turbo.  I would suggest you do more research on this before you buy it.

yes it will i swapped a integra motor into my HF CRX this car weighs 1800 pounds came stock with 67 horsepower and when i put the 135 horse integra motor from japan in it with the HF trans it went 90 mph in 2nd gear and got there real fast  it ran a 15.20 at pomona fair grounds it was a tight fit to say the least changing the fan belts was a bummer but possible theres kits out there you wont have to cut or weld just bolt up different adapter plates and motor mounts dont forget to get the computer and wiring harness from the vtech without that forget it

I have been a mechanic for some time and enjoy tuning on my hot rod, when buying things for performance for new cars(fuel injected and computers) be sure to do your research and never buy from someone who doesn't warranty and give support.

There have been different systems in the past 30yrs. For a general concept check out the link below.\n\nDepending on what you are looking for: EFI electronic fuel injection, TBI throttle body injection, CBI central body injection, CPI central port injection or SCPI sequential central port injection or MFI multi-port fuel injection (which is most popular nowadays) you can get an idea of what it is at this link.\nFor a specific version based on the vehicle you own, try a Hanes service manual.

You have to richen your air/fuel mixture to allow unburned fuel to exit your exhaust the sparkplugs in the kit should be installed in your exhaust pipes, as the unburned fuel exits the sparkplugs will ignite it and there you go. i'd stay away from the propane or adding more gas. way dangerous.

there in the cylinder heads easiest way is to follow the spark plug wires down next to the exhaust manifolds..when the wire turns in, you found a plug....

Eliminating backpressure in an exhaust system always creates more horsepower and more torque. Headers are excellent. The more efficient the exhaust system, the greater the power gains. \n\nThere are lots and lots of good brands of mufflers, catalytic convertors, and headers out there. In terms of mufflers, some of the best ones are: Flowmaster, Borla, Corsa, Hooker, etc. \n\nThere are lots of ways to increase performance, mate. Use high quality spark plugs, and spark plug wires. MSD ignition creates a more powerful spark, as well. Synthetic oils for the engine can also add power. Get a nice tune up using high quality parts. \n\nGood luck.

If you are putting in an X-pipe then you are doing cat-back but anyway i had bassani on 89 mustang 5.0L with trick flow every thing and it sounded great but i was a little over 400 HP it will depend on your application

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.

depends on what muffler u get. many do a great job, look at ones from Flow master, Borla ,Hooker just to name a few. They all have specs on what they sell. After market Headers will inprove the over all flow of exhaust gas as long as u upsize the down pipe and main pipe all the way back to the muffler. Use only stainless steel and stay away from the cheep crap.  also get a NEW o2 senser so the computer can know what is going on. Bosch makes a good one.
