Best Throttle mod ever

[hanley.manor]

ok guys, i did the advance timing mod last night. The results from doing it is beyond expectation and to be honest astounding.

OK, my girlfriend has 2007 Honda civic (1.8 litre all stock) 2 door auto. I have the 2.0 sedan M3 auto. About two weeks ago we decided to do a lil drag racing, for shits n giggles. I thought i would have smashed her lil civic but Boy I was Wrong. WE did it from a dig, She immediately started to pull away from me about a car and half and held that for the entire race. Top speed we stop about 85 or 90. So last nigh i did the advance timing mod! I felt a difference today on my way to work, seem like all the laziness and hesitation was gone. I told my GF we had to do this race again! So this time the race went like this. I pulled her off the line and jumped a car ahead and stayed that way all the way to 90.

Many cars run engine coolant through the throttle body in order to warm it up so the throttle body doesn't get filled with ice due to a mix of cold temps, humidity, and condensation. This is done because car manufacturers cannot design a car to work for "most" people, they are expected to make cars that work in any condition.

Hey, Thanks.

I have seen one of those, and heard about another, but have been hesitant to mess with it. Didn't one of the write-ups circulating the boards require the use of a voltmeter? The "Best Throttle Mod Ever" doesn't. What's the difference between the two? Is one more effective than the other?

I may try this when I get home tonight. Seems simple enough. Thanks

Following in the footsteps of other pioneering EcoModders, forum member MetroMPG fabricated a prototype aerodynamic boat tail and got encouraging results: a 15% increase in fuel economy at 90 km/h / 56 mph, measured in A-B-A testing. Follow the discussion, construction and testing of the mock-up, and view a YouTube video of the results.

I'm not a big "poster" (obviously with my post count at 1) but I felt compelled to with this mod.
Simple and surprisingly effective. Literally threw me back in my seat during the test ride, coming off my first stop sign.
Thanks to Enviros for this write-up, ForteSX2.4 for all the info and tmccorkel for the volt meter pix.
I managed to hit the mark on the first attempt.

I just did this on my 2.0 Auto. And one must be careful with Automatics to not over adjust. If you do you will be cruising around at about 25MPH with your foot off the gas!

[rumlesj1]

so i brought my 2.0 in for servicing and i asked the dealer if they could "fix" the dead spot. they told me that there is no fix, also that i was the first person to complain about the problem. i asked if they could adjust the TPS to .99 because they got the tools to do it, and they told me that that wont make any difference. i just decided im going to go and do it myself this week,

[BuhbaForte]

I always wondered about this but didn't know there was a fix until I saw this article in the Forte newsletter. I may try this myself or bring it up to my friend at his shop. Thanks for the tutorial, I hope this works.

I am so bummed! I was excited when I saw this mod but mine came adjusted already. Almost looks like the screws have been messed with by the dealership. I never really had the dead spot to complain about. I bought my 2.4 5DR SX 1 year ago this May.

[bryanguystatus]

My five door didn't have the dead spot either.
