I installed a SRI on my 97 Civic coupe D16Y7. It is a similar type to the one in the DIY section. However I have little low end power, and the car is really lazy to take off. I was wondering if i need to upgrade the exhaust as well or is there something i missed when installing the SRI. It tends to burn alot of fuel as well even though it was recently tuned. What do you guys think?

 

do you have a CEL? did you connect all the sensors? you shouldn't have lost power... maybe your car was just weak to start with? seriously though, you won't really notice THAT much power; you'll notice the better throttle response. how do you know it's burning more fuel by the way?

 

i dont think a sri will make u burn a lot of fuel , dont expect a sri to give you a whole lot of hp its bearly noticiable

 

Ok. One thing i notice is thatI have to push the gas pedal a quarter of the way down before it starts to rev. I am not sure if that was before or after the SRI install. I have good power after second gear but the taking off is really slow. Before the SRI install, a full tank lasted 6 days now I have to refuel again on the beginning of the 6th day. I will have to get someone check the throttle cable for play.
When installing the SRI I followed all the directions in the DIY section.

 

installing a SRI is quite simple i really dont think that u messed up anything

Should i try adjusting the throttle cable?

 

Na, you're fine but, did you put the IAT sensor back?

 

yea the sensor is back in, it doesnt fit snuggly but it is in

 

well when i installed mine, i definitly noticed it right away, i love it. what kind of SRI is it?
