okay i have an automatic i30...the thing is...which mods are the best when it comes to performance?(other than switching to manual)...which has the most noticeable gain in anything?? anyone out there with an automatic that has a heavily modified 96 i30?

 

First get a cold air intake, then start with the y-pipe and full exhaust, all that could add somehwere near 20hp and you will feel it, tho the y-pipe can be expensive, and i dont really know where or how to get a "budget y-pipe". If you really are speed-crazed, Nitrous is a good, cheap option that will add a s hi t ton of horsepower...

 

Any mods for a manual are perfectly acceptable for an auto (except items that are directly related to the 5-speed set up). Start with an intake (CAI or HAI), y-pipe, and then b-pipe. I dynoed out an extra 29 whp and 19 ft/lb of torque with that set up.

 

so like...300$ worth of mods for 29 whp?? whats a b-pipe? i know what a y is but whats a b? i just want a nice comfortable drive, but with a car that can drop a hammer on civics...

 

my plan is to make my i30 the one of the most luxurious and sportiest infinitis around... so heres what i had in plan....

Tein H-Class Springs, tokicko struts, undecided rims,headrest monitors, 3200 watt audio, cefiro grille and headlights, suicide trunk and rear door conversions,shaved side moldings,cf front lip, stillen sideskirts,hks exhaust, budget y-pipe, K & N air intake w/ nismo head, two tone interior, custom glow gauges,,,,

i'll leave it at that...heheh but yeah, dont know exactly how long it'll take but it shouldnt be that long...prolly 2 years as long as my luck with my 30 gets better...

 

hehe, you should be able to to do that to most civics without buying any mods

 

hahah my car has been through so much that it got WHUPPED by a Ford Focus 2 door...i was embarassed as heck...glad no one was around to see it...im having tranny probs...

 

A focus??? He must have been heavily modded

 

Uggh, I wouldnt tell many people about that, if u were 5speed, he'd be GONE

 

It must have been the driver, cause even as an auto I couldnt see it

 

Get the car checked out ASAP

 

B-pipe is pretty much the pipe between the cat and the muffler.

 

I was in a buddy's G35 sedan auto, he was driving and he was surprised how quick a Focus SVT, was he thought he could run away from it but it held it's own. The car probably weighs around 2400lbs

 

Dumb question but would like to know the reason: why will the horsepower increase by changing the exhaust pipe ?!?

 

less restriction = better flow & better flow = more power (hence intake also)

 

it was a manual and sounded heavily modded...im stock and auto...heheh...i cant really recall...but i dont really think he beat me...i think he just like tailed...til i had to break for a dip...

 

um..... i have an automatic.

 

That sounds like a pretty good plan to me. The suicide doors and trunk could get expensive though.

The b-pipe is the section of piping betweeen the cat and the muffler. I got about 8whp alone from it beacuse it removes restrictive bends and crimps in the exhaust, and anyone that has done the exhaust knows that Nissan gave this car one st!tty stock exhaust.

Definitly do the two toned interior leather it looks slick!

Here is mine, it is not that hard to install.

 

man that aint enough power!!!!!!!!!! i dont know why you guys think that is enough to beat hondas? maybe a SOHC but only f@g posers race sohc's

 

Ok buddy... I don't know what planet you have been living on, but 29 whp is a lot for a bolt on exhaust and intake. That is like over 35bhp!! I am probably running around 225 bhp with maybe 230 block ft/lb. of torque. I know those are not the numbers you got from your turbo, but they are damned good N/A gains. Just a few days ago I ate my friends 95 Honda Civic SI with headers, cams, and cat back for breakfast!! I had at least two car lenghts on him!!

You think only f@g posers race sohcs, huh? So someone who races an 04 Acura TL with 270 hp sohc 6sp is a f@g poser, huh? Well, those things beat the Infiniti G35/ Nissan Skyline in the quarter mile pal!

 

what they hell are you talking about

 

I think he might be drinking power steering fluid......

 

Who made your seat covers? thats deffinetly what I want to get once my stock leather wears out.

 

looks tight...but i want it to match the darker shade of brown my door handle thingies are.... check out the pics of the door things...

ppl who know nothing about making a car outta scratch...

 

chill out bro, when i say sohc's im mean d16's.
and that 95 si has a sohc d16 vtec, so all that work he has done is a little less than equal to about a stock b16. if you didnt know the the 95 si starts at 125 @ the crank. so your happy about that????

 

Normally, but I forgot to mention that he did the an Integra GSR engine swap and that engine is DOHC and rated at about 195 bhp so you're god damn right I am happy about that!! We were about tied for hp, but even with the reduced weigh, he did not have the torque to keep up!

 

The new seat leather was from www.leatherseats.com. The colors are Sandstone (tan) which is an exact match for the OEM tan, Driftwood (brown), which is an exact match for the center console and dash area.

 

hey bro my boy has a prelude type s in his civic and a gsr in a hatch cannot see his tail light so you thinking you did something great a gsr come with 178 hp to the crank and your boy probably keep power steering /ac so he id probably pushing 150hp on a cool night so get your **** straight bro

 

You get your **** straight.... GSR "TYPE-R" is 195 crank not 178. In 1997, Acura introduced a highly modified version of the 1.8-liter from the GS-R for its high-performance "Type-R" model. All-new connecting rods are hand-torqued, ports are hand-polished, while a new forged-steel crankshaft comes with counterweights made with special metallurgy techniques to reduce vibration and bending fatigue. The revised engine includes oval intake springs, dual-exhaust valve springs, thin-stemmed valves and lighter die-cast aluminum pistons with molybdenum-coated skirts. Additional oiling passages and new crowns help boost the compression ratio from 10.0:1 to 10.6:1. In addition, a special camshaft gives higher lift and longer overlap to match a bigger-bore exhaust and freer-breathing exhaust manifold, which features a single wide runner per cylinder rather than smaller twin passages. Finally, the crackle-red finish on the engine's cam cover help set it apart visually from the GS-R's engine.

Also, I don't care what your boy's civic does or has, I whipped that Civic SI w/ that engine swap.

So i guess this means you give up? If not tell me where I am wrong instead of using smilies....

 

you not worth any more of my time....thats all

 

Fine with me. It is not really worth my time to explain things to people who don't have it right, and refuse to accept the truth.

 

So with all that power you beat a civic with prob 225 hp? What are you running in the 1/4? what other cars have you beat? Also is your car auto or man?

 

Also I would like to say a gsr and type r engine are 2 differant engines. They have everything different. Even the motor codes are different b18c for gsr and b18c5 for type R. That is why when you said GSR engine he probally said that they were 178hp and not 195hp

 

dont bother hes a rock

 

It is difficult to say. For example, the 5th gen maxima 3.0L is putting out more horse power than the 4th gen, and the engine codes are different too (VQ30DE vs VQ30DEK) all the k represents is that the engine has been changed in some various manner, and yet most people would consider it the same engine. The engine codes in this case are similar as well. b- being the engine model, 18 being the displacement (1800cm^3, 3000 cm^3) and so on. I did not know the engine codes, but I did know that it was a variation of the GSR engine so I just simply called it a GSR engine. Also, this guy claims that the standard GSR engine put out 178 bhp, when it only put out 170 bhp, so his info was horse **** to begin with.

But, you are right, I should have said that it was a type-r in the begining.

As far as my 1/4 mile time goes, my best ET is 14.77. There are many other members that have far surpassed that number, but I am still proud of it.

As far as cars that I have recently beat besides the civic si w/ gsr type r engine, headers, cams, down pipe, fart can, and intake are: 94 Maxima SE with fart can (held pretty good from 1st and 2nd gear, gave me a good run, but he lost), 94-97 Accord with fart can, 93-97 Lexus GS 300 (totally desroyed), 95-99 Eclipse gst with fart can (a little more difficult but still one by about a car lengh or more, the turbo put him at 210 bhp and 214 btq at 2800 lbs.), 94-03 Mustang GT (beat by about two car lenghts last winter, she seemed unmoded mechanicaly, but that car is rated at 215 bhp at 3100 lbs., pretty gutless for a V8), A Ford Focus SVT with headers, intake, and down pipe (more than three car lenghts) other than that my other races include civics, camerys and asorted trucks, which never even came close.

To be honest, I don't really street race too much. I like to keep it legal at the track. Most of my races are amongst friends down there, where it is safe to race.

 

are you just just ****ed because you could not ever get your **** staight? Or are you always like this?

 

your running 14.7's dont talk to me anymore slow poke
