I got a 96 5speed with intake and ypipe. What do you guys think I should do next for the best 'bang for the buck'?? Any suggestions on mods appreciated. Some listed below:

short throw shifter
MEVI
ECU
cat-back exhaust
lighter rims...
??
??

 

Id either go for the ECU or MEVI

 

i would do ecu i guess, i have a 97, but i have one more mod i want to get before the ecu upgrade which is the underdrive pulley

 

i would get a mevi. But i think u like the track a lot and its not that useful on the track so i would get a UDP or a ecu, preferably udp since its a lot cheaper

 

Nitrous, if you're talking about bang for the buck.

 

Turbo or supercharger, if you're talking about bang for the buck.

 

ECU without a DOUBT

 

damn you guys with pre-99s and your ECUs....

Havent people been having problems with UDP's? Ive read stuff like they have trouble starting their car, sometimes they cant, etc etc. Anyone have some experience with that?! Cuz that may be my next mod...

My choice: ECU/Mevi and you'll have a highway monster...
Track Choice: Catback/UDP/lighter rims and you'll be set...

what exactly are the gains from a udp. hp?? faster revs?? Someone fill me in.

Is it noticeable on the'butt dyno'??

Which is the best udp? ONe that doesn't cause any problems?

I've heard that all those supposed problems from the UDP are untrue. Things such as a not-so-cold A/C, poor starts, or alternator problems just don't show-up. I could be wrong but I've never heard of anyone with one saying that they occur.

 

if not boost or supercharge...i would go with intake, y-pipe, cat-back..

 

Naaaawwwwsss.

UDP- 5 HP $110
ECU- 15 HP $450
MEVI- 0 HP (switch gets blown all the time) or 30 HP at redline $750

nitrous- 50-125 HP $250-800

 

Come on man. Nitrous is cool but I want something that will give me power all the time without having to switch a button or something.
