N/A mods

I'm trying to decide on wether to give up on searching for a turbo2 and buying and N/A or not, and I was wondering what kind of power gains/ timeslips I could expect from an N/A with a single HKS exhaust, Apexi intake, some upgraded fuel injectors and an Apexi SAFC.... Doesnt have to be the same manufacturer or anything, just something like those mods.. Thanks alot!



Btw... I know that a bunch of people are going to yell at me for searching, but alot of times that forum doesnt work anyway so... spare me the post-whoring.

Don't bother with the NA if your looking for good time slips. Getting in the 15s solidly(mid or low) without MAJOR weight reduction or N20 is hard to do with an NA. If you want a TII to begin with then wait it out until you can find one.

Ill second that ****. If you want good timeslips, start out turbo. If you want to prove you are a man, pull an Aaron Cake and slap a turbo on an N/A.

Last I checked a S/C and NOS wasn't N/A. He didn't mention these in his intended mods, so how is this helpful? Or were you just bragging?


Original poster... N/A's are quick cars, but by no means fast. You need a form of forced induction if you want to keep it streetable and make it fast.

I meant my post as you can make a N/A FC fast, it just takes some boost, or PP.

Hell No ! i wasn't bragging i am 17 and poor, that is just the set-up i would like to run someday.

Well that boost makes it not an NA anymore.
