Hey guy's im sure it's been brought up a thousand times but...

How do you get the N/A to put down some power???

I know the 13b(turbo), but im looking for some easy tricks, parts...

 

exhuast and intake

 

Every time you use the 'search' button your car will magically gain 10hp. Eventually it will grow a turbo...

Ok. To make an N/a Go. Step 1 : Pull Motor... Step 2 : Buy Turbo Motor. Done. I've seen some decent results from exhaust and intake. Be careful when buying exhaust as N/a's require backpressure to engage 5th + 6th ports. After exhaust and intake, get yourself some carbs and slap those on. With tuning you get amazing result but it wont be as fast as a stock turbo II .

 

S5's don't.
They use the airpump to activate the aux ports.

And CARBS?
As in more than one?

Anyways, seems like removing the FI system would be a step backwards but "amazing results" would be interesting.

 

+1. Pretty much. Catalytic converter, muffler, 5th and 6th port activation (s4), cold air intake, VDI (s4). Do a search for details.
s4 = 1986-1988. s5=1989-1991. You don't need to worry about things marked "s4" if you own an s5.

A properly tuned carbeurator can make a little more peak horsepower than fuel injection, but the rest of your powerband will suffer so overall your car will be slower. Not to mention worsened gas mileage and emissions. Don't do it.

 

buy it a nice lobster dinner
Exhaust first - open her up from the ports to the bumper - ditch the cat, make your own way to open the aux ports, cone filter, some ducting of you want. After that a lil port job and some fuel/ignition management and you can get those little guys to make some good power. My old N/A would pull on TII's

 

well heres my five cents.... five, 2 for FI, 2 for CARB and 1 for turbo...

1.. if you dont want to turbo, then ignore half the response here.

if you are deciding to stay fuel injection, i highly recommend, first thing you do is make sure the car is running 100%.
next like everyone else says, do intake and full exhaust (anywhere from 400-1000+ depending on new or used parts, this includes, intake filter and filter isolation, headers, "cat" replacement or presilencer, then the cat back), and you can attemp to fine tune the engine with a wide band and afc looking (600 here...)...

next thing to do is start stripping everything you do not need... keep the airpump, you gain next to nothing without it, but a headache to actuate the 5th and 6th from my understanding from a couple of members here when i questioned it. lighter the better, you will probably not likely to make pass 160 whp, the fc3s is a 2800lbs + beast fully loaded. do the math. nothing like free power.

now moving right along, you can start porting the motor.. which is not ideal until you blow something, or.. if you are rich. start off with all your intake manifolds, and then if still not satisfied, take the block apart and streetport or whatever you prefer...

carbs run great, i had a carbsetup... to me running a mikuni, full exhaust, is WAY faster than most "intake and exhaust" FI cars i've driven, i cannot say the same about something with a little management. but as far as i am concern up to this day, my carb setup was quite a bit faster, and quite alot cheaper to setup.. (i am selling it now, cos i cannot justify taking apart my perfectly working fi car to make it carb at this time.)

i myself is going fuel injection with mods, and i just need to see how much quicker can fi go compare to my carb setup.

 

Just tell her "come on babe, put out... I'm a very mature 22 year old..."
But really follow what Mechanic said. Full exhaust will make you feel invincible.
Also do some searching...

 

BS, stock s4 t2's are so damned slow its amazing. between the turbo lag from all the catts and choked exh/intake and the lead weight of a flywheel.



ITBs/webers rock. Make n/a rotaries sound way betta




turbos arent the end all be all of rotaries.

don't set your hopes too high and they wont be shattered
most ive seen for n/a's w/ everything under the sun is about 180-190rwhp, w/ some occassional exceptions of 200-220rwhp.
huge race car ports can do 300 and some change at the fly but you dont want that.

you probably wont reach any of those numbers.
