Honda/Acura engines are high-performance machines right out of the box. Some models have more room for improvement than others, but on the whole, if you want to make more power, you have to make smart changes. This book will help you make the performance changes that work.

In the completely revised and updated second edition of this best-selling book, author Joe Pettit covers the fundamentals of high-performance engine tuning so you understand why performance modifications work—or don't work. Then, he shows you how to perform those modifications, from bolting on an air intake system to building a stronger bottom end. Experts like Oscar Jackson of Jackson Racing, Rob Smith of RPS, and Russ Collins of RC Engineering also provide expert guidance on improving Honda performance.

Chapters include: Bolt-on Performance Guide • Tuning the Airflow Path • Building Bottom-End Tech • Choosing the Timing Cams • Tuning Fuel Injection • Ignition Tuning • Hot Street and Strip Combinations • Hooking Up the Power.

There's also a special chapter on a turbocharged CRX with 825-horsepower B18C1, and appendixes that cover Engine IDs and Specs, Understanding VTEC, Blueprinting a B16A1 Buildup, and a complete source guide to Honda parts suppliers. It's the information you need to make your Honda faster.
