Throttle response stuff!

Balance shaft removal kit, remove powersteering and air con belts.
Lighter cam gears, larger throttlebody port matched to inlet manifold. Larger bore exhaust ( not too big) and get it remapped.
I could go on but that dhould do for starters.....good quality spark and good quality fuel. Set up ignition timkng properly.

Thanks guys

It is due a service really, so far for my list I've got all fluids+filters, spark plugs, some KV85s up in this ho and it is due belt changes. Was thinking of trotting off to PAW for the belts and hopefully get the valve clearances checked over, bit of a journey from me but I think it'll be worth it.

So I can clean up the EGR thing, is it worth doing something with the VTEC solenoid gadget? I'm sure I've read of some of you guys changing or cleaning something. I like cleaning.

Thanks for the suggestions too Dino

Not into removing the aircon and powersteering, this is just my daily and I want to keep everything pretty much as it is, but I am looking into breathing stuff anyway because IMO that seems like fairly easy power gained without having to get too involved.

If it's a smart move I was thinking maybe just a VAFC set up properly would be a good step?

It's already an expensive year for me so I'll be eating a lot more couscous than I enjoy if I start spending megabucks. This is basic stuff for you lot but I'm not too smart with a tool in my hand.

Cheers

Freebie would be to adjust the throttle cable slack at the throttle body to 5mm

Cleaning up the EGR valve or IACV FITV or Vtec Solenoid gasket won't do anything for gaining performance over standard obviously, but if they are sooty/clogged then they can hinder performance.

Yeah I've seen some of the crap that comes off

Anything else you can think of? Just talking in general now!

Ebay in line fuel line magnetiser
Ebay 10+Bhp power chip
Ebay Battery voltage power booster

Dont listen to Dino. Doesnt know what hes on about. Ebay add REAL power. FACT! Proven. Feedback says so.

as ratty says - plus ebay short ram induction kit

but seriously cleaning the egr,fitv valve and vtec solenoid are all good to do - all you need is a can of carb cleaner so cheap to do.
save the rest fo your money for trip to paw

A lightened flywheel & underdrive crank pulley? While they dont do anything for throttle response the theory behind it is that it allows the engine to rev up quicker / be more reponsive. It might give the same results.

I've thought about this one before as my throttle pedal seems a little loose - like it moves a bit before any tension gets put on the cable. How do you mean adjust the slack to 5mm? Where do you measure the 5mm from?
