So, now i am finally peicing together the parts for my car

currently i have

KN SRI Intake
Flopro Vforce Muffler
TWM STS
Strut bar (not that it matters)

on order are

Clear Image 1 5/8 Header and 2.5" Catless Downpipe
Custom 2.5 Exhaust (into my muffler)
LSJ Injectors/Wiring harness
Tune

So, i figure this should put me around 180-190+ WHP (i will get it dynoed after)

thoughts? anything i am missing out (will get a upper/tranny mount from ttr once i get some more moneys)

next summer i plan on getting a new set of rims and tires (not upgrading tires now since i use them in winter)

so...thoughts?

 

You could fill your tranny mounts

 

you should supercharge that ****

 

like you know, i was going to buy becks set, but i got bills and visa costing me tones of money, + school starting so my work hours are cut, this is all i can afford right now.

 

Why get bigger injectors? You don't need them until you are boosted or possibly nitrous.

 

why not? i have the lsj injectors at my disposle, and my tuner reccomends i upgrade to them

 

I reccomend, trying to lower the IDC first through the tune, based off of you mod list the stock 24#'ers will work just fine. But if you are still seeing IDC's over 85-87% then maube switch them out. But other then that you do have a very nice mod list.


Side note, on the exhaust make sure you add a nice resanator so you dont sound raspy as hell

 

you got a nice list.. basically wut i will have. wut are everyone's thoughts on lightweight crank and alt pulleys? I've had them on my z24 previously and they dynoed a 6-8 WHP gain on average. that could help some of us with 2.4s over the hump. They make the acceleration alot quicker and overall the car becomes more alive for such a simple set of mods. the guy that made them for my cavy is also providing them for balts now.

 

yeah i would be interested in looking into that, they are cheap aswell arnt they?

 

well i bought his alt pulley for like 50 and he discounts the crank cuz he makes them to order, so its like 160 shipped iirc. I imagine if REDFOCZ had these and used a dynojet he'd make 200whp easy, so that's wut im goin for. Im also goin for the light porting of the tb like he did to maximize everything. where u getting tuned at? that one guy that just became a vendor with OverTheTopPerformance is offering affordable tunes, but i think to get the most out of them u have to have HPt.

 

there's nothing wrong with bigger injectors. allows you to add more fuel, and with a proper tune, it's a good performance mod. heck, stage 1 on the SS/SC's is just injectors and a tune. not to mention if you get a good tune it may even increase your gas mileage.

 

also my tuner has tuned alot of stock (pretty much) lsj's

 

here's the prices on the pullies

Alternator Pulley: $55
Crank Pulley & NEW OEM Bolt: $165
Both the alternator and crank pulley $210

 

What else did you plan on using?

 

oh thats not cheap

 

i meant access to ur own so u can datalog through it and send him the info back so he can adjust the tune since he's not local.. did that make sense now?

 

LOL yea a little better, and I was being a smart ass too. I knew what you meant.

 

to push us over the 200whp mark its not too bad. i say its not cheap because ive had the alt pulley since last yr so all i need is the crank pulley

all in good fun

 

MRZ needs to come up with some light weight pulleys for us.

 

EFI Live

I've Downloaded their software and it seems to have a few more options for the LE5, one big feature it allows you to tune the VE table.

 

Sure....I don't understand tuning and the tables and curves and yea ok sure....

 

they are but these are already dyno tested and ive used em before so i trust em as is. i think MRZ's price may be a bit more

 

sooo.... does anyone have any estimated gains on this? id buy both if i can net close to 10whp

 

i gave u the estimated on the pullies.. its about 6-8 on a cavy 2.4 so im assuming our le5 will be similar could be 1-2 whp more. I wont be able to tell u cuz i already have basically full bolt ons so my dyno will be as high as it can be already. But if i get 195+whp then ill kinda see a range
