Hey j.w what i can do to my car to get some hp with out adding a turbo and a estimate of the hp gain from each item. Im asking because i might junk the idea of putting the turbo in my car and also if i do put the turbo in i dont have to rely on the turbo only for the hp.

On a side note whats a better exhaust system borla or HKS, or what do u think is the best system for hp but also sound good 2? I think HKS is the better system.

 

dual apexi n1 catback, gut cats

Nozzzzz

 

Racingbeat's catback system. It has a deep tone; not ricey.

 

Intake, Header, Exhaust.

 

Full RB exhaust FTW. Good low-end gains and amazing sound. Quiet during normal driving but loud when you stomp the gas.
My current setup: RB cat-replacement pipe, RB pre-silencer, RB Y-Pipe, RB TII mufflers
Lovin' it.

 

ok. im up late so here it goes.

full standalone WILL make a big difference.

fuel system upgrade. if you want to really get into it think about a better flow
delivery system like bored out fuel rails.

better intake system. you could include some type of ram air intake if you wanted.

upgraded ignition (add boxes. coils. wires. stick with NGK plugs.)

full exhaust. good headers, high flow everything else. you could make this all yourself to save a little cash.

and last but not least, engine porting. for a street car or dd nothing past a street port otherwise you'll loose mileage and possibly braek local laws.


thats most the main engine things. after that its trans, diff box and suspension.

 

o ok kool ty! i was wondering about that, now i was going some research the RB headers n that exhaust system said u needed a pip that i cant think of the name of it now i lookedo n that rx7 shopping site these was like 500$ the 1 form RB was like a little less i think...i might do that, i looked under my car n the cat n down pip looked rusted like that bight reddish color, once i getta job ill doo all that stuff




side note i know i gotta redo my suspension my spring r rusting on 1 side, i was lookign at the RB springs, shocks look brand new tho

 

oo nice wa i was looking to do exactly...how much it cost in total? n where u find? right form there site?


side note i gotta Weapon r air intake...but im thinking of extending it to the front of the car becuase it sucks in super hott air.....same with the airbox as well


another side note is there a posting or a how to on porting? n ty all most of the stuff u said i knew jsut not in that full detail




So im looking at a good...2-3 grand but probably a 20-30hp gain probably

 

i hate to discourage but unless you've had a lot of experience with engine building i would leave the porting to a professional. your engine will most likely last longer that way.

 

o ok...ya i no a few ppl that can do it....how much for a professional to do it? im guessing like a grand or so

 

There's a shop in town that is an authorized RB dealer so I got my exhaust from them. I was lucky because they had a used RB CR pipe and Pre-silencer which they sold to me cheap. All together with labour, it cost me $1200 Canadian. Worth every penny. Note that I got the T2 RB mufflers instead of the NA ones. They're a little less restrictive, tip is bigger, and sound is deeper. 100% Rice Free.

 

wonder if i could get the turbo version because i might turbo my car
