Getting more power out of the H3

  

jpress -> Getting more power out of the H3 (5/10/2007 1:36:22 PM)

Without putting a turbo, has anyone had any luck adding to the takeoff speed of the H3? Once it's going it's no problem as you all know, but from a dead stop, it's pretty bad!

air in....air out. intake, exhaust, PCM programming, header.

I was wondering when Dennis's patience was going to run out.[:)]
(I must admit he's been pretty good with the newbies so far)[:D][:D][:D]

My experience is that "take off speed" with H3 is good, add snow and ice and it becomes great!

Otherwise, check out the SS Trailblazer forums.

Wow, this thread is a wealth of helpful info.

jpress, you may have figured this out on your own by now, but if you go to the main forum page, and under the "Brand Reviews" list, look in either the "Intake, Headers, & Exhaust" and/or "PCM & Fuel Systems" sections.  Scan through the threads there and you will find alot of good detailed information, unlike in this thread.

I too will be attempting to give a bit more pep to my H3, and it seems the most straightforward route (as with any vehicle really) w/o getting too involved, is the old step up for a better air filter/intake, exhaust, and perhaps a custom tune.  Shouldn't break the bank and should make a sig difference.

I don't need mine to be wicked fast, I have other rides for that, but I wouldn't mind a little more juice.

unlike this thread? Listen greenshirt...exactly what would you like us to tell him? I'm thinking my advise was pretty sound......without tearing into the motor or adding turbos or blowers what I listed is the ony real power upgrades for the h3......sorry if my reply didn't meet your ten post standards[8|][8|][8|]

bwahahahahahaa ... damn Impy .. who pi$$ed in your wheaties this morning bro!??  Ohh well, whatcha gunna do when you got a 10 post wonder doggin' ya n the correct info ... I guess you could've added parts numbers, where to order from, pricing, install instructions, dyno sheets, and all that other good stuff to that post .. but then again ... any half wit knew what you ment Impy :-) 

importkiller -> RE: Getting more power out of the H3 (5/11/2007 10:35:29 AM)

next time I'll scan the install instruction sheets , include detailed photos, and attempt to give him a cyber reach-around[:D][:D]

ZYNE -> RE: Getting more power out of the H3 (5/11/2007 10:43:20 AM)

LMAO!  ... man, nothing like trying to be helpfull and get dogged for it doode ... had it not been for the search function being cranky right now I would've suggested using it since you can dog the crap outa it with no response .. suits some folks better hehehehee

greenshirt77 -> RE: Getting more power out of the H3 (5/11/2007 1:37:37 PM)

Oh, I get it.  You guys are veterans here, and newbs are fair game.  I am and have been a member of many car/truck/motorcycle forums and I know how it works.  Pick on the newbs is a common theme.  I'm sure you have a lot of fun with it.  Go ahead and jab, my skin is thick.
To shed some light, I wasn't even commenting on anyone's post specifically in terms of being unhelpful.  Truth is, I actually would say that your post made the most sense, albiet in about as summarized a manner as possible.
I was just trying to help someone else find some more detailed info.
Guess I'll wait until I have a million or so posts under my belt before I think about doing that again.[8|]

importkiller -> RE: Getting more power out of the H3 (5/11/2007 1:48:10 PM)

nah, we don't pick on all newbies.....we actually like some of em[:D]

IMO, I think the truck is dog slow.  No matter where in the rpm range you are.  It needs a lot of help.  Is there a well known custom tuner for the H3's?  I know with my last truck, there were a couple of people that were very highly regarded for tuning.  The one company I found for the H3 tune wanted the pcm so they could tune it.  Do these trucks not have a flash tuner available?

Along with the standard bolt-ons, as mentioned above, these can add a nice amount of power.  What about stuff like a larger throttle body or a cam?  Are they available?

Yes there is a "highly regarded" person(people)for tuning your H3- the one that wants you to send them the PCM so they can tune it-PCM for Less. My dog is slow, not my H3.[;)]
