How can I gain horse power without going bankrupt or spending an entire weekend in the garage? Well here is your answer, these are the 3 easy ways to gain horsepower with out spending the big dollars or even spending more than an hour under your car.
1.Intake-
Installing an cold air intake in your car and greatly affect you cars hp from 3-15hp depending on whether you purchase a full intake or just the filter/cone. Now days you can purchase a cold air intake or the cone just about any where auto parts are sold. Ebay is quickly becoming one of the highest selling auto parts site and you can find great deals there if you know where to look.Installing a cold air intake normally take about 30-45 minutes depending on the style you get and normally only need a screwdriver to install them.
2.Spark Plugs-
Spark plugs have came a long way since there inception. Now days we have triple platinum diamond fire 4 prong plugs that have a hotter spark than ever before. Having more efficient cleaner spark going to your engine allows the fuel to burn cleaner and faster creating more energy/HP. Your normal spark plug change can vary depending on the engine and amount of cylinders as well. Normally it takes about 3-6 minutes per plug to change and you can pick up a top notch plug at any local automotive store or online.
3.Headers-
Headers as we all know are a great start to a free flowing exhaust for your engine that if you purchase the correct ones are a simple bolt on application.I recently install headers onto my d15 honda motor and saw an significant increase and it only took about an hour to install in the driveway.Plus headers(once again depending on which you purchase) can give you a great sound to your engine as well. Your normal header can take anywhere form 50-65 mintutes to install and normally only require a few basic wrenches and breaker bars.
