I want to gain more low end torque......Does any1 have any suggestion on how i can accomplish this.

 

1) Get a real cold air intake, lose the Injen.
2) Get that y-pipe asap.
3) Do some weight reduction, lose the subs.

 

thx.....i was thinking.....is it worth getting the cattman intake and taking the injen off......

 

Injen style CAI is actually a WAI. Place Racing made the only true CAI for our cars. I suggest you get an ECU upgrade or a piggyback unit to do some A/F tuning and ignition advance.

 

either get the Place Racing style cai or use the stock if you dont care about noise, get that Y pipe ASAP, if you still want more tourque then find a spare ECU to send in and get it upgraded by Technosquare -Ryan

 

Cattman/Place Racing/Warpspeed intakes ....are they setup the same way....

 

Ypipe does not add any low end.

 

Sc/tc ..........

 

so what it still will help his car relize its potential

 

dont wanna spend that much .....especaily when all other things will need to be upgraded.

 

i would love to sc or tc but just not gonna happen

 

Cattman/Place Racing/Warpspeed intakes...are they all the same

 

Yes, they are the same.

 

yea not much you can really bolt on to give you more low end. a lot of stuff is geared towards mid-high end. like VI, Y pipes, turbo's

your 18's and subs will slow you down a bit tho. but i assume you got them for a reason, so i'm not going to tell you to take it off. but thats one way to get you to go a little quicker.

 

yea ...i like how they look and sounds

 

put your stock intake back on, the place racing one is a glorified $50 intake.. i had it, it took away from the low end.. get a y-pipe, underdrive pulleys, and lose your 18" rims.. you cant have everything, so you have to decide between what you want more, performance, or style and a system

 

well i want a little of all.......it doesnt hurt to try and get a little of everything.....but i understand where u comin from

 

those are corsica's you have on your car rite?

 

what are u talking about?

 

Giovanna Corsica's... i had those wheels too

 

Yea they are....not bad for 1g

 

no.. those are a high quality rim.. i wish mine had help up better but the chrome started to peel

 

did u use them in the winter

 

wait, so the place racing CAI works or doesnt. i thought the .org fact was that no intake is better than stock.

 

slap on a 3.5

 

everyone has their one theroies. Your dyno butt is diffrent from mines. What a lot ppl get confused about is that sound= power/speed.

 

Time for a v8 swap....

 

slap?..
sweet...

 

not sure about your butt or whatever your talkin about, i guess someone needs to show some dyno's
how much is that place racing true cai

 

And udp really help all the way across the bored. Well at least that's what they say. My car reved faster when I had mine one but I didn't even gain a tenth in the 1320 so I don't know??

 

Udp gains are really small, not something you notice in the old 1320. Unless you have a clock that does XX:XX.xxxxxxxx.... or something i think it helps you rev match when your racing and stuff. Very last mod in my opinion.

 

I can see UDP good for running starts. Also It should be a middle mod since it is only 80-90 from Motostrom not a last mod. Swapping for a 3.5 will help a lot for low end. Exhaust doesn't help for the extreme low-end that you are looking for, but guarenteed you will like it. We are both suffering from that terrible invention they call automatic transmission. I should shoot whoever thought of it.

To everyone else ... how does a TC help in low end if it has to spool up? I can see a SC, but I was under this thought that Turbo doesn't kick in till like 3K RPM.

 

Depends oh how big it is

 

they were on the car during the winter but i was not yet the owner.

 

that could be the reason....salt eats up the chrome

 

1- a y-pipe does help low end.
2- the best intake for low end in the stock one
3- underdrive pulleys do help low end
4- i highly doubt this kid is looking to swap motors out, so why do some people make it sound like thats the only thing to do..
5- tc also could stand for torque converter, which is the "clutch" for your automatic transmission. once again, your talking ALOT of work for minimal gains.
6- you can also get a lightened flywheel.. but once again.. not worth doing for what your looking to accomplish..

 

I just took off my injen and put the stock 1 back on....runs great....i did the thread for pics of engone bay

 

y pipe gives an extra 12-15 hp in the 4500 + rpm range

 

High Stall TQ?

 

i was wondering how much is to upgrade ECU or get a new upgraded one?
