You're persistent, aren't you? Three separate threads, no responses, and
yet you continue.

A quick Google shows the Rafaga to be a 4-door 2.0L 4cyl vehicle that
appears to be Accord-based. I don't know what other cars used the G20A
engine, but it's seems pretty certain that nobody's ricing these up.

I'd sell it and buy something riceable, like a Civic. Or stuff in a better
engine/transaxle. A V6 from an Accord might do it.

Where are you, anyway?

Look for a steep hill and head downward. A strong tailwind will also
help...

Well in that case, some wild stickers would definitely bump the the HP by
about 15. If you go all out with proper multi-layer vinyl, you could go as
high as +40HP! And for the NFS:U factor, under-car neon is absolutely
necessary - if you can afford it, the pulsing one makes your car fly like a
UFO!

Not that I know what I'm talking about, but I played a lot of NFS:U and
that's as good as real life experience, isn't it? :)

So is this like a Honda Ascot or maybe like an Acura Vigor? If so, maybe
you can dump the US 5 cylinder into it.... it's 2.5 liters.

Cool! You'll have to do your own research and maybe start a Web site with
photos detailing how you did it. Haven't you always wanted to be a pioneer?

Not far off...

The glasses are a lot smaller these days than they used to be.

Parts of some of them are metal (didn't floss when I was a kid).

Maybe you can give us some clue as to what you want to achieve by modifying
your, uh, <adjusts glasses> "Rafaga".

Do you wish to swap engines and transmissions (gearboxes)?
Do you wish to paint your dashboard yellow?
Do you wish to affix stickers to the exterior?
Do you wish to install a park bench to your trunk (boot) lid?
Do you wish to remove one windshield (windscreen) wiper, leaving only the
middle one?
Do you wish to install giant wheels and skinny tires (tyres)?
Do you wish to install headlamps that look blue?
Do you wish to install colorless taillamps?
Do you wish to install "neon" tubes that illuminate the pavement under your
vehicle?
Do you wish to install windshield washer nozzles that glow in the dark?

first off, you could try lowering the head (i'm sorry, but i don't know the
propper english term for that) to boost up the compression rate, and
polishing the intake... it should bring you some extra 5-10% hp. by the way,
how much does the stock 'rafaga' have?

and what kind of a name for a honda is 'rafaga' anyway? :)

Well, if gay-ness was involved, I think my wife would have figured it out
by now (I hope).

To answer a separate post, "Rafaga" is a Spanish word meaning essentially
the equivalent of the French "éclat". Think burst, pop, bang, excitement.

The Rafaga appears to be basically an Honda/Acura Accord/Saber/Vigor, with
the G20A 5-cylinder engine.

Nice pics here:
http://www.luk-korbmacher.de/Autos/g20a.htm

However, I cannot find any torque or horsepower figures for this engine.
Odd. Guess buyers of a sedate 4-door semi-luxury car don't care about such
technicalities.

I figure jimmyd must have been given the vehicle by his parents (how many
teenagers would buy something like that on purpose?), so his problem now is
how to turn it into something less of an old-farts's car. In my day you did
that by removing wheel covers and trim, jacking up the ass-end and putting
a pot-leaf sticker on your chromed diff cover. Simple and cheap.

if the engine is dohc, my guess is it could be similar by power and torque
to an accord f20a, which means roughly 150 hp and 140 Nm torque. if it's
sohc, it could be similar to f20a4 from '94 prelude (i don't have specs for
this one, though)...

could be. still, alot can be done to rice up that car, even if the engine
specs are unknown (head lowering, intake polish, CAI...)...
