I have about 150 to play with. should i go with something like the UDP or port and polish on the tb? or just save money for some 4.30 gears?

 

WHy do you want underdrive pullys? From what I hear it should only be put in race cars. I think your car will overheat in traffic. I would get some pineapple racing sleeves

 

pineapple racing sleeves? thanks for the info on the UDP, i had one on my 3000GT and it didn't seem to hurt it much, didn't help out awhole lot either...

 

when i bought the car the guy said he removed the 6 port's . i'm guessing it's just 'open' all the time now?

 

well that might be hurting you a bit on mileage. I don't know it it is better on a street ported motor though. do you have the little actuators? or the rods that move the sleeves?

 

i believe so....but i'm not sure what they look like

here's what he told me he removed:
Air Control Valve,Variable Dynamic Intake
6-port Induction, All Emissions systems

 

Have you ever taken off your LIM? you would know for sure like that.

 

nope, haven't taken that off, anyother way to tell?

 

If you have a camera take some pics of the LIM. If you have the little rods and actuators you could still have them. I am not sure though since your car is an S5 and I only have seen S4 cars. the catuators are little barrel shaped things and they hook up to the rods that rotate.

 

i'll try to get some pics for you , do i need to take off the LIM or just take pics of it?

 

well just pix right now. I don't want you to have to take your whole intake off. that way I can see what is gone and what is not. I would be able to tell for sure but it will give you a general idea.

 

Underdrive pulleys are great for street cars. My car never overheats and the battery is always charged.

If the previous owner removed the 6-port system, he probably removed the acutator rods and all. Pineapple racing sleeves wouldnt work unless you still had the rods and sleeves.

Port and polish your intake manifold or get a header if I were you.

 

sorry i didnt read your sig, you already have a header.

 

who does a port and polish on the intake manifold?

 

There is a write-up on it in the archive. Its something you have to do yourself though.
