City Mods - Basic Information for Beginner

Hai guys,

I feel it is good for me to share some information on Honda City mods. I'm not a "sifu" or "master" in this arena, there is no harm for me share the knowledge.

Honda City Basic Modification

This topic will focus on how you can improve your car performance with a guide / sources where you guys can find all the parts and installation place. Some of Honda city owners always asked how to improve their car performance and what is the best modification that their can have in order to improve the car performance. For me this is very subjective topic and based on the owners budget and interest on how far owners commitment in this arena.

For this topic, i only focus in enhancing the Honda City stock engine in order to squeeze out the juice from the stock L15 engine.

Stage 1

This is the 1st stage of modification the should be focus by City owners - Upgrading your extractor and piping. This to provide a better exhaust flow and to give your car better breathing space. Based on my experience and involvement in this arena, the best piping size that City owners can opt is;

N/A Engine

• 0.1inch - 0.2inch from the original piping size (for Automatic Transmission)
• 0.15inch - 0.3inch from the original piping size (for Manual Transmission)

Turbo / Supercharge Engine

• Up to the turbo capacity

This upgrade will provide around 10% - 20% increase in HP & trouqe, you can feel the different in your car acceleration.

Stage 2

This 2nd stage of modification which will touch in replacing your spark plug, crank pully and performance air filter / Open port air filter / Air Ram

In this stage it is suggested that the City  to change their spark plug to iridium spark plug. As this spark will reduce the hot spot that generate by the normal spark plug. There a lot of brand that you guys can opt to, currently i'm using Denso - IK series. This will improve your car performance up to 4% (result is varies based on the type of car)

Another mods that City Owners can do is through the replacement of original crankshaft to the lightweight version of crank shaft. This replacement will provide a better response from your engine either on the low or the high end of engine trouqe. The suggested brand that City Owners can target for this lightweight Crank Pully is Mytheology or other local brand that available for L15 engine

The others focus by the City Owners through the replacement of stock air filter either to the high performance air filter. The replacement from this stock air filter to higher performance air filter or Open Port style Air Filter will give City Owners around 3% - 4% (Drop in Version) and up to 10% (open port version) increase in performance. The reliable brand that available in market is such as K&N, Apexi, HKS or SIMOTA.
