gotcha lmao. i mean you can do the forge upgrade. that would be more cost efficient.

 

The bpv with sri was cool at first and all but I don't think its as loud as a bov. It gets close but I gott be at like 20 psi to get it loud. Lol. I'm contemplating doing it since I'm in the market for charge pipes and another tune anyways and I have a hks sitting around. Personally I like the attention it brings at the local car meets and such. Like how people spend 500 for an exhaust that gets .561724 hp when tuned

 

again not all exhausts are the same just like not all charge piping is the same...thicker gauges, higher quality stainless, different resonators, mufflers, flanges etc etc. just like people complain about intercooler prices....they arent all the same.... i only know one company using garret cores atm...i forget what hahn uses but all the rest are using over seas cores im pretty sure as they wont specify.

 

I'm just saying how people pay for things not worth the price to attract attention. I'm so guilty of that. Lol. I'm guessing that's why hahns intercoolers cost twice as much?

 

i was just messin around ppl lol idc what you do to your cars

 

How is it that this thread has gone 3 pages when the answer the op was looking for lies in the first 10 posted replies???

LOL awesome without everyone here my day would be boring. I hope you all don't mind that you are part of breaking up my boredom.

 

Same reason why I been posting. I post here then creep on the e85 thread praying for more info and good news.

 

ok then since this page is so popular i wont add another page with my other questions and to the guy that said do some searches in the threads its all been said before f that i will ask my own questions in my own way if you dont like it man skip past it and its cool your not an a hole you are just kinda lame but w/e thanks for advise to get to my points i am thinking im gonna put myself on a 5000 dollar budget i might not spend all of it seeing how i might do most of the work myself but im thinking upgrade all pipes and get dp not sure which brands im going for yet but do the turbo upgrade and not sure which turbo kit yet and cams and meth kit i want the dp to have a cut out and im not going cat back because i want it to be quite under normal driving conditions but anyway a meth kit and intercooler if anyone has input to add extras or what they think then post

 

Holy hell!!! $5000 I could do some damage with that right there... but one big thing remains... the transmission which in these cars tend to be rather... ummm delicate sometimes.

Catless DP: Treadstone, ZZP, MPx, Badmab
Exhaust: no resonator and a borla or something... I'm getting one, got a little too much highway drone with 3 inches of nothing the whole way
Intake: I would say SRI because of easy cleaning access
Tune: Trifecta base with the E85 that is soon to be released and an HP tune combo file
Intercooler piping: one with a BOV... and a MAF Relocate to the Lower CP
Intercooler: I like my TR8, or the ZZP one but the roads here blow and the ZZP hangs lower then I like.
Turbo: BNR stage 2 for me but Treadstone has a sick mani that bolts to a T3 style turbo, ZZP has some upgrades there as well.

 

wow i really hope the tranny holds cause that was one of the reasons i got this car i wanted the srt 4 but my roommate had one and his tranny sucked dodge like put the tranny from a dacota in their srt 4 and it sucked gears popped out gears grinded i wonder what ours will hold

 

Well ZZP runs a modified LNF trans in their 10 second LSJ cobalt. I would check into some rotated mounts and stuff reduce wheel hop. From reading on here and elsewhere the wheelhop seems to be the critical ***** in the trans armor. I don't NLS mine some guys do so its really up to you. I'm not sure which trans dodge put in the SRT-4 but I hear good and bad abaout it... seems like a real tossup, the LNF trans will be good as long as you don't get too crazy. I don't own a shop car like ZZP's so I shift mine with care since I have to pay to play.

 

exactly no matter what you do pay to play....IF i were you op and you plan to upgrade the turbo i would just hold off on the bov for now and when the time comes get your charge piping with the bov and a maf relocation. the bpv is perfectly fine up to 24psi. do the airbox mod for now and save up for your turbo kit this way you are not trying to sell stock replacement parts later. all turbo kits require different intakes downpipes and most you can reuse stock style charge pipes but like i said i would just save up and do this all at once with that kind of budget

 

see everyone says oh just add an intake and u can here ur BPV.

problem is only one intake was proven to flow better than a modified stock box. when I had my car. we werent hitting over 450 hp. even with the aftermarket turbo. the ECu still needed to be figured out. especially HP tuners.

call me rice all u want. but with the stock bpv spring and stock modified intake box. i could never hear it. So when I installed a BOV kit on it. it showed me true PSI blow off. i loved it

 

My coupe has a Tial Q BOV, and my Sedan has a Forge BPV. The forge is just as loud as the Tial Q when an SRI is on.

 

I hear my forge fine with the ZZP Intake elbow and modded Air box on my sedan

 

Just get the ZZP turbo upgrade package..... it will save you money down the road.

 

key word forged.

not forged. stock for stock.

 

yeah im gonna have to get that because i am upgrading the turbo but not doing the upgrade kit i want a brand new turbo to have power when i want it

just dont know which one any ideas on the best kit from turbonetics

 

Personally I dislike turbonetics. That's just me....borg and warner and pte are the best to me

 

Our turbo right now is quite sufficient. It works very well for a factory turbo car. Now there are good upgrades but you will start to see increased spool times but they are more efficient as far as flow goes.

 

Get one of these to make your turbo sound louder too:
YouTube - Honda Civic Turbo Muffler Exhaust Sound

 

My car is decent on stock turbo with a conservative tune i like it jsut gonna go a little more agresive on the tune and ill be happy. And i have a stock bpv with the treadstone intake and i hear it just fine

 

And yea Ryan the exhaust is a little to loud for me to. gotta get at least a muffler or resonator

 

ZZP comes with a brand new turbo....
its on the record holding car for the fastest LNF...

you can also get a kit with a BOV

Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance

but hey do what you want, you can get a turbonetics T66 on there take 6K rpms to hit full spool and have 1K rpms of 500WHP

 

Might as well just put a VTAK sticker on the car while your at it haha
