avmaxfan · 26th December 2007, 13:51

Guys,I am a getting 2007 6 -Speed manual Honda CR-V soon,so I wanted to know about the various options I have to boost the performance of the car.I will be grateful if you can list all the stuff that I can use.I just want a marginal increase in the power and acceleration,I will be happy with a 15HP gain

Thanks

Hi

Congrats on your new CRV. The manual is anyday a great one to drive. I think it has adequate power already. Is it worth sacrificing warranty for just 15 BHP ? I think not, but if you must - get the FFE & Conical Filter, that should be enough to "make you feel more power" !!!

Cheers

well i suggest you get a standalone ecu. that should give you the gains you need. then after a while you can get a k&n apollo or a green storm cold air intake and a free flow exhaust.

I think FFE & Intake job is the best way to get a little bit more out of your car, but dont expect 15bhp. Realistically somewhere around 9bhp.

Is it advisable to mod the car while its brand new?I intend to mod the car the next day I get it.

not really.. wait atleast for 1000-1500kms before you do anything,

BUSA · 26th December 2007, 19:10

Ideally wait till 2nd service to get things done, around 5000kms to be precise.

simply_sunny001 · 26th December 2007, 19:14

it doesnt make much sense buying a new vehicle for Mods as it will void the warranty,but it depends on personal choice

K&N and FFE should be a good starting point though
