    peeps........

    I am a newby, just want to ask you guys n talagang magagaling n sa cars
    How do I get a faster throttle response?

    I feel n nd kagad nagrereact yung car pag tinapakan ko yung gas. There are even times for example in 3rd gear parang antagal nya bago bumirit.

    pwede mo i-improve yung exhaust pipes mo.. gaganda throttle response mo nun.. kung gusto mo ng medyo sporty yung sound, change your muffler too.. sa pagpili ng muff, mas mahaba at malaki yung chamber, mas deep yung sound at depende na din sa condition ng resonator mo.. kasi minsan, kahit maganda yung muff, tpos hindi na maganda yung reso, basag na yung sound nya.. wag ka mag aircon, lalakas arangkada mo.. peace

    I'm not an expert on tuning but In my opinion if you take your car to any honda service center, they will just tune or configure your engine back to standard specifications.

    Before we suggest anything, what mods do you currently have on your engine?

    that's NOT an exhaust problem

    sounds like airflow sensor problem

    when you step on the gas pedal, throttle opens, more air goes in, it's read by the airflow sensor, then it signals the ECU to inject more fuel

    but your airflow sensor isnt sending its signals to the ECU fast enough in response to your stepping on the gas

    it's delayed

    maybe dirty sensor

    maybe dirty throttle body

    definitely not exhaust

    well if your motor has a lot of miles on it already you loose response, power and efficiency due to wear and tear, you can bring the life back by rebuilding the motor. you need to remember your motor is 13yrs old in motor life thats old age, if your not burning oil yet you took care of your car good but it wont go back to its rich 100% condition with out a rebuild.

    thank you sir....magandang idea to, very technical. I'll have the sensors checked, anu ba yun papalitan n kaya or lilinisin lang. San b makikita yung ECU? kahit anung shops ba sa manila pwede patignan to baka pagpraktisan lang a, do you know any reliable shops with good mechanics that know these things... improve ko n rin yung exhaust just wat 92corolla2E said. Stock honda civic ito mga sir 1996, la pang mods ito, gusto ko lagyan pero tight budget.

    Gaano ka na katagal nag d drive?
    Compared sa anong car ang response na pinagba basehan mo?
    Arrangkada ba hanap mo? Pag andar ng car mo lipat mo sa second
    gear and stay there till 75kph+, then saka ka mag 3rd gear.

    Then tell us kung yon ang hinahanap mo na response.

    Wala pa problem. Hindi pa nga natin alam kung marunong sya
    mag drive eh. Minsan nasa driver yan.

    Parang ba dahil sa maiinit ang panahon at naiinitan ang driver,
    eh dapat ba tanggalin ang thermostat para lumamig?

    Puede rin mag payong na lang para lumamig.

    Baka kailangan lang baguhin ang driving technique nya.

    eto yung mga gusto kong sagot e (syado kang maangas), malamang ay magaling ka nga n driver. pero marunong naman siguro ako magdrive, may napansin lang ako kaya nagtanung ako. Hindi mo n kelangan magcompare sa ibang car (ewan ko kung bakit naitanung mo pa yun, considering e sa tono mo e masyado ka ng magaling). Compare mo lang yung before and after e alam mo n kung may nagbago! nd mo n kelangan ng ibang comparison.

    mas may sense yung sinabi ni ULS - delayed n ang response, kung marunong ka magdrive mararamdaman naman yan e, nd ko nga lang alam ang problema kaya nagtanung ako dito.

    Kung may iba ka pang idea n mas may sense share mo n lang.......salamat!

    Ganoon talaga sa forum lahat ng klase na sagot matatangap mo,
    meron mild at me extreme ibabasura mo na lang yon hindi mo gusto.
    Ikaw na mag balance ng info according to your taste.

    Pasensia na kung nainis ka sa akin, ganoon kasi talaga itatanong sa iyo ng ibang tao.

    Puede mo check mona mga filters mo kung kelan sila huling pinalitan at kung
    kailangan na silang palitan, then mga cables ng pedal. Then have a friend
    conduct a drivability test, pareho ba complaints nyo. You always have to
    compare, even cars of the same model and age to validate.
    Then mag isolate ka na ng mga sensors etc.

    Try advancing the timing to a few degrees, see what happens

    have your valves checked baka may singaw na.. also critical yung timing to improve engine response..

    mga guys napansin ko lng tlga na may pagkadelay lng tlga ang mga kotse na may ECU compare mo sa wala,mas mabagal ang response nila....pero sa pagkakaalam ko. may solution na dyan and out na sa market! SPRINT BOOSTER ang tawag nila..sabi ng cousin ko 12k daw ang isa pero libre testing dun kinakabit malapit sa pedal hindi pa mavovoid ang warranty nyo. ikakabit muna nila...pag hindi mo nagustohan yng effect tatangalin nila wala bayad libre testing...ask ko lng ulit sa cousin ko kng saan shop yun. try nyo din searh sa yahoo or google...sa youtube may mga video sila.....pwede sa lahat ng 2000-20++ na model na kotse na may ECU..
