funny you telling me u can do a build up I5 to a performance eng IE cam headers and so onI5s are no dogs, and can make a bunch more power with performance addons.
Here is my step by step process to get a V8 in your H3. 1) sell your I5 H3; and, 2) buy an H3 Alpha.
no problems now just want to build the eng alittleThere was kind of a famous Atlas I-6 write-up on the interweb a while ago which was turbo'd and hitting 400hp. If you google it you can probably find it. Same basic engine less one cylinder.
Have you checked your engine's compression ...and is the Variable Cam Timing working properly? My tks 190k mi engine has a low compression cylinder (and some other problems I need to 'deal' with, lol)......my scanner says the VCT isn't actuating (but no codes). The timing chain is probably vibrating in there like crazy, who knows? Well, it runs ok, but those don't things bode well for good hp. Things I need to deal with soon.
Intake, Cat Back Exhaust, PP Throttle Body, Efan Conversion, PCM Tune, aluminum radiator is all it took for my old 07 to make FS Pickups and SUVs look silly at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes open sand drags.funny you telling me u can do a build up I5 to a performance eng IE cam headers and so on
Yeah, and the stock tires are all you need to wheel off road, but you can wheel a bunch better with real tires.i have read that changing to k&n intake does not produce any more horse power in fact the eng is getting what it needs from factory
The I5 produces a fair bit of power already for its displacement, and as long as you're not planning on towing or running overly large tires you can do pretty well with it. It does just fine when offroading as you don't necessarily need lots of power unless you're trying to do extreme trails.
You really should consider incorporating some punctuation. Maybe capitalization. Call me old school. It makes whatever thought you are sharing a little more enjoyable for us to read, versus a non-stop run-on sentence that may or may not end when the letters stop.i am not say i want a race truck just when i pull out to pass i don't have to floor it only to have the car i am passing speeds up and i cant make the pass and have to back down
and pull back behind the car i tried to pass need a little something to give the guy the finger lol
Amen ALPHA X ! By the way my wife has an ALPHA X with 51000 miles and never been off pavement. I was told by a fellow that had a CE like mine that I ran into up in Ouray ( supposedly a GM employee that worked in Shreveport) that even though the ALPHA X wasn’t a limited production, only 464 were made in 2008 because of the pricing structure (Alpha on top of X) and dealers just didn’t order them unless customers special ordered them. Do you have any insight. By the way, he confirmed the number of 500 for the CE’s. I tend to believe about half of what I hear on the trail as well as the forums.You really should consider incorporating some punctuation. Maybe capitalization. Call me old school.

I'm sorry, I don't have an info about the CE's. I have a 2010 H3T Alpha. The X being the roman numeral for 10, as in my 2010.By the way my wife has an ALPHA X with 51000 miles and never been off pavement.

That would do ZERO. Stock H3 PCMs are tuned for 87 and cannot do anything with higher octane alone. To use the higher octane the PCM would need different spark and fuel trims that are beyond stock program parameters. It will drain you wallet faster though.OP, what octane are you running?
If you're running 87 or 88, try bumping up to higher octane rating. See how your tk performs. I can tell the performance diff running higher octane. It might be a cheap no-effort way to get you a scoootch more passing power.
