hp cost money, you can't say you don't wanna spend alot..... you eighter want it or not...

if you are looking for mods on a budget, the best thing next would be a udp.

Or some new ricer bulbs, I hear they sky-rocket performance.

So are you manual or auto?

lol its a manual...... I know it costs money.. however a supercharger or turbo is out of the question.... The car is not worth putting the money into.... It is clean and runs great however I am realistic with my expectations...

Catback and exhaust. This will set you back about $600 - $700

hahahahahahahahahaha

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha



















hahahahahahahahaha

yeah, a catback, and an exhaust sytem...

sorry i had to... typically, when someone says "catback" they are reffering to an exhaust system from the cat.... back... they aren't two different things...

Buy a Stillen Super charger. My buddy has one on his Max and it is a huge difference over stock. He is buying the Apexi Super AFC and Snow performance Methanol/water injection kit. He is looking at getting around 400Fwhp. Of course he will be advancing timing, going with a smaller pulley for more boost and dyno tuning it all in.

A $3,742 stillen supercharger makes a differnce? thats weird

madmax96

iTrader: (1)

koolranch

Jez that thats funny... I am waiting until my muffler blows and then I will get a cat back.... thats my next logical step I think....you guys are funny.... I would like a catback without the trashcan look and sound....

If you're overweight and lose some lbs, you'll notice some gains.
250lb becomming 150lb is a big improvement

jdm71488

Cams give top end gains. Get an ECU upgrade.

GodFather

iTrader: (10)

you've gotten cai and y pipe, next stop is ecu upgrade
then udp and finally lightened flywheel+staged clutch kits to grab and chirp.

altogether should get you about 40 hp
i just did my 5lb flywheel and stage 2 spec clutch. i feel much more high end gains. revs much faster than stock in acceleration!

tedo007

iTrader: (6)

get the VTEC stickers and put it on your engine that should give you around 5WHP for sure lol

VIP Maxima

do a complete maintaince.....

change oil (switch to synthetic if u can), air filter, fuel filter, clean tb, change plugs, dump in a bottle of fuel system and injector cleaners. check tire pressure and loose some weight. kinda cheap and the car should perform a little better. dont forget to check the ks and o2 sensors either...

i think near the stock 3.5L stock is good on my 98 ... but yea man..

Heres what I would say:
-midpipe(intake)
-Stillen filter. (IF it rains a lot in your area Dont Do CAI)
-UDP (If you have a large audio system dont bother)
-Catback (Simple for saying full exhaust)
-Peformance Cat. (full exhaust, y-pipe and a performance cat.=Gains)

Bigger mods:
-JWT or TS Ecu
-MEVI or 00VI
-Spray maybe 75 shot.

Since you dont want induction, and I understand then what I listed is the better bang for the buck. Cams will cost a lot and will be a ***** to install or a nice labor bill. Go to the for sale section, im sure you can pick up half of those things for real cheap.

just buy a short shifter or y-pipe or eibach springs or clutch kit or rotors and brakes?

catback and an ecu..

if you're getting an ecu, technosquare has an intro price of 400 (vs. 595 regular) until dec. 15th (there is a thread on it.. read back a few pages for a thread started by chebosto)..

laylow1988

iTrader: (2)

performance cat does nthnh for gains you spend that money for nuthing when you can save for turbo .. but if you want the best hp gains without tb or supercharger is ecu and mevi for under a $1,---
