Can someone help me with this?
 
I wanted to know what kind of parts I should get to make my car, faster off the line. All I have now is an intake, I dont really know that much about engine mods. Anyone have any suggestions?

exhaust...turbo...header...supercharger...n2o...an ything...it all depends on what you wanna pay turbo is great but header and exhaust (catback) will help you out too...n2o is the cheapest at first but you cant use it all the time and needs to be refilled

Civickid0to60 01-21-2003 04:48 PM

i was looking at headers, any type of brands you could recommend?

dc sports is the best bang for your buck...go with 4-2-1 over 4-1 if you want off the line power

well we can start with your intake, is it a short ram or cold air? A cold air will deliver more torque while the short ram will be better in the high end. a clutch would be nice so you can transfer your power better, as well as a limited slip differential. a supercharger would definitely be nice, though maybe a little out of budget if you are going piece by piece. Lighter wheels, weight reduction, better tires. All these will play into getting off the line. Suspension, knowing how to launch. Think about everything that goes into getting the car moving and first/second gear.

or when you say off the line are you saying low end power, which your car does not have. Do research and look for products that give you low end torque and help to shift the powerband to the left.

cause that's not a good mod for someone that wants more from their car and only has an intake. At least beef up your motor a little bit before going n20.

you can easily run nitrous on a stock motor as long as you dont go crazy with it

Faster off the line.... suspension, clutch. After that, get an exhaust next, it will help your top end. Then grab a header and you'll have the basic bolt on air flow mods done.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't go to the track much, and nitrous is stupid unless you're at a track. And that's true, you can run nitrous on a stock motor, I used to run it on my D series, but I just don't think it would be a good move for him to get. ;)

i have a tanabe cat-back system, guess i shoulda mentioned that earlier.

pdiggitydogg 01-22-2003 08:42 PM

well if you decide to get a header that means you wont be doing the turbo route...unless you want to throw away around $150...and in that case give it to me...
If you get a header you can always go supercharger later on and not waste any money

lowering your car and getting wider tires to widen your contact patch will definitely help especially to get rid of the shitty will hop of a stock front wheel drive
