Vex : 1993 Accord EX

[Vex]

what are you shifting at?

6300RPM or so, I know we don't make any power after 5700RPM(?) but at a higher RPM shift, the next gear lands at a higher RPM so either way it kind of balances out...

EDIT : Lol, was your comment towards my previous post? My bad...

For DD and around city, I shift anywhere from 2k-2500. I try not to hit 3k.

Have you ever checked the base ignition timing? When is the last time you changed the timing belt.

No I have not, ever since I bought the car it never acted up this way until I put in the cheapo ebay replacement headers. Then it started to pop, bog.. I have no idea why.

Maybe you damaged the o2 sensor and it'd flooding or running lean. Also whens the last time you did a tune-up or checked the vacuum lines for dry rot?

I will check vacuum lines, and probably replace my O2 sensor. When I replaced the downpipe, it looks corroded to hell.

Well guys, I went ahead and put back in the stock header + downpipe and the bogging/popping noise has gone away. The raspiness in my exhaust also disappeared. Car runs A LOT smoother after every shift. When I had the ebay header, after a shift I would feel the car stumble, not sure why.

It also pulls much much better than the ebay header... For anyone reading, I wouldn't waste money on any replacement 4-2-1 header. Simply sand, and repaint your F22A4/6 header!

I can't wait for cams, h22 trans and h23 im. I wants 160-170WHP!

Lol, it's harder than you'd think. I still think that popping was weird. I've never had that problem with eBay headers before. Best advice I can give you is don't buy into hype. Use logic and research.

I have no idea either and I also think it's weird. Though if it got rid of that issue, it's staying off my car.

I will just need to save for bisi headers.

Accorn, do you use your odyssey battery in the winter?

Today is BRA day.

Brand new in box from honda, a 20 year old bra, 20 year old box. Came with fender flaps too of course, but didn't put them on. $83 and some cents

Car looks great man, normally not a big fan of the nose bra but looks real clean on yours.

Thanks guys!

Also, let me get your opinion on these wheels. They are Enkei RP01's. I am really wanting a set. Picture below is photo-shopped.
