Im looking for something to put in my car that will give me cheap easy hp gain i have a exhuast and CAI already i have a 2.2 and cars automatic but i will do a tranny swap later on? any suggestions

 

Buy my used header or 2.4 manifold, cant beat the prices

 

gut it. save money.

 

brags i only have a 2.5 dc sports muffler and a cai my stock pipe size is 1.75 what king of headers are they and what pipe size cause if i buy headers i need to get new pipes

 

I highly doubt you will do a tranmission swap.

 

Its a racing solutions shorty header, same as others out there. But bang for the buck I would do the 2.4 intake mani, proven results, much better power up top.

 

To my knowledge the lap's come from the factory with a manifold similar to a 2.4s.
Header. Not headers.
Agreed


if you have a 2.5" muffler already then just find a stock ss/sc ss/na or ss/tc stock catback piping and it with a new over the axle 2.5" bend and your good.

Header is a pretty cheap gain if you do a downpipe at the same time its a noticeable gain.

Beyond intake and exhaust thought all there is left for the most part is a tune or forced induction...

 

Good call on the LAP I was thinking l61^^^^

 

Beer, a bottle of Jack, and a cheap cigar.

Then save your money until you can do it right.

 

Cheers to that

 

Nitrous. You can pick up a wet kit for about $400. Quick 50-75 hp just sayin lol

 

Way I see it is you can nickel and dime it with no plan, take the cheap route and find out it cost you twice as much in the long run, OR you can save your money, make a plan, and get it right the first time.

And we know the best plans are those made over a bottle of Jack, right?

 

These guys are right.

Honestly to do it right buy a decent header a decent downpipe a good catback and a good intake. After that get a tune. That will be the most you can do pretty much for bolt on hp.

you can do a supercharger or turbo kit if you want more than 180whp. (not sure exactly what a full bolt on tuned LAP can do but figure a bit less than an LE5)

you do need to decide your goals for the car before you start modifying it though.

 

dude how do u know that i wouldnt do a swap even tho i have a ss tranny standard sitting in my garage...i pulled it off a old crashed ss

 

ialot of people have been telling me downpipes are for turbos and some say they arent just for turbos... wats the correct answer because i dont have a turbo

 

I hope you understand how much work that will be. You will have to do alot of modifications to convert your auto to manual. Not too mention its alot easier to bolt on a supercharger or turbo charger. Listen to what Cordia and others are telling you. Do your car up right and you'll get the results you want. Do it half ass and you'll end up wasting major time and money with no results.

 

you wont do a transmission swap cause you dont even know what downpipe is.

 

I could be wrong but pretty sure you need the F23 trans not the F35 trans for the swap. Also you will need a ton of parts. Its honestly best to just get a donor car.

 

and a new ecm cause the auto ecm is not gonna work right without the tcm to interact with. a trans swap is nowhere near as simple as you think, op.

 

Trifecta Tune.

/Thread.

 

I will bet you a $1000 you will not put that SS manual transmission into your car that currently has an automatic tranmission. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

 

Swap in LE5 cams. Honestly, these motors aren't cheap to build, na or boosted. Iv'e tried, and failed miserably. Best na build I've seen was a 2.4 bottom end with a heavily ported head with a big ass set of cams, and every bolt on known to man. Still only 220 hp.

 

Leaf blower + nitrous. Done.

 

and VOILÀ

for 250 it is the best you can do.

i have a LAP video on my YT account. he was stock and i love it.

 

is the trifecta tune legal tho like will it pass inspection
