I was curious to know what the cheapest performace mod is, since I'm on a tight budget. One of my friends told me that getting an exaust system put in is the cheapest, but I'm not sure...

Ben

 

you can always begin with removing that stock air box and replacing it with a pop intake. full exhaust systems ain't cheap. just start with an intake and work your way up from there.

 

 

cheapest mod? advance the timing. its free.
second cheapest? throttle body coolant bypass..less than $3
intake is third and you'll notice a good difference from it (approx. $40). after that, probably underdrive pulley, removed AC belt and then its on to the exhaust but that gets costly.

How do you do that? Just curious.....

 

cheapest is stickers...

exhaust by far isn't the cheapest to do

 

how much gains you'll think he'll see? 10+ HP?

as for how to advance the timing...go here:

on a VE, you loosen CAS, turn toward the rear of the car, tighten and call it a day.

 

FSTB or RSB

 

hey fellas you missed the important one! if you're driving a manual, knowing how to DRIVE it would be by far the cheapest and best. hell even an auto there's a few trick sto get the best launch.

 

driving technique is not a mod

 

it is for Russ anything he drives, automatic 10s, no question!!!

 

whats a good intake filter to replace the stock air box?? the JWT pop charger seems a little on the high side or would it be better to replace the whole piping?

 

One good one that I know of by experience is the K&N cone air filter. It added a noticealbe amount of horsepower and all you have to do is " recharge " or clean it every now and then? I'm not sure on the exact mileage of when to clean it?

 

i went with a k&n filter and custom adapter to fit it on.. good mod... moderate price for good results.. you could go with a cheaper filter.. but i trust k&n's quality

 

 

did you buy that custom adapter? or made it yourself?

 

normaly the kit comes with the little metal plate you just screw in.

 

at first i used an adapter from a 91-96 300zx but it didn't fit right and had a 4" opening (ours run on 3") so i made a custom one out of the old air box... but i recently ordered a k&n filter from warpspeed and dallas just threw in an adapter for me.
