Sorry for the pic of my screen but it was the only way I could seem to keep them together

Apart from the aeromods, what are the other approaches you're considering to increase the efficiency of your car?

I have been reading up on water injection and think I might give that a try. the car has little power and really dose not like hills. I would like to find some sort of scan gauge as well but everything I have found is for 96 and newer.

I think you may have to use a MPGuino for that one since it is pre-OBDII. Here is the link for the MPGuino

"It still works for just about any car with fuel injection, but for cars built before 1996, there is no OBD-II option. "


My car is carbureted, will it still work?
every thing I have seen says fuel injected

Unless there is some sort of air intake sensor or some way to meter air or fuel into the engine, it won't work sadly.

Convert it to fuel injection or maybe an engine swap is a good target. I don't know much about Hondas, but Toyotas have a semi standard bolt pattern on their transmissions, so engine swaps are mechanically simple, just the electronics that can be the fun part.

The template included with the tool is actually not quite right. It's a bit too shallow.

My recommendation is to use this tool:

Image Overlay Utility

And this template:




Then, when you have them overlayed, hit the "printscreen" key on your keyboard, open MSPaint, and paste, and it should paste a shot of your screen.
