So i just upgraded from my 99 Integra to my 2003 G35 and i dnt have much knowledge in the car as a newbie what are some upgrades that can be cheaply done ? ECU ETC....

 

Welcome to the G community. Nice upgrade. I guess you can start with exhaust or cai

 

Thanx..... and ya ive been looking at exhausts is there a good set that comes with headers and all?..... cai?.... i have a Stillen Intake and Axis Rims thats all right now

 

Id say exhaust wise man your gonna have to research cause when it comes to it, its all personal prefrence. I will say if you have the cash to spend momentum performance makes some REALLY nice stuff i would check them out. If not then a popular option is getting an HKS replica exhaust which is for the most part same quality same materials and design just thousands cheaper. As for headers on our cars is a PITA to install but if you want em go for it! Also dont forget to search around though, a lot of the questions you probably have, have already been answered. Plus the forum members appreciate it a lot too. Other than that welcome to the forum, our community, and owning a G!

 

Best mods bang for buck... Performance air filter, Motordyne Plenum Spacer, Z-Tube, High Flow Cats or Test Pipes. All increase the crazy air flow restrictive designs or our engine. Good luck with everything and remember... before you create a thread to ask a question, search search search. Just abt everything u can think of has been asked and answered at some point on this forum. Welcome & post some pics to get some love and better feedback!

 

yes doing research is the best way to go. you may not find what your looking for but you will learn a whole bunch of other things about your car by just reading threads.

 

Any of the basic breather mods you can do for your 03' G coupe aren't going to give you any substantial gains.
That's not to say you shouldn't mod, but don't expect a 30hp increase.
The only mod that will make a big difference is forced induction, but then your talkin big bucks.
Like AzuMaster mentioned above catback exhaust, ztube, hfc or test pipes and MD spacer are a good start.

 

Spend the first month of so of your time on this forum just reading and searching. You will find TONS of information. If you have any questions in the first 30 days, go back and search again. It is all here.

If you search by RELEVANCE you will get much better results.

 

Thanx everyone for the response I tried these forums before when I had my integra seemed like a lot of newbie hating but I got a lot info with the G community thanx again!!!!

Not so fast my friend. I have the following power mods:

R2C intake
MD ART pipes V2.2
MD Resonated XYZ
MD resonated mid pipe
MD VQ TT exhaust
MD 5/16" spacer
Osiris tune

And all of these mods took me from 220/201 stock to 260/240 so I got 40/39 with my mods. Not FI territory and they weren't cheap, but effective nonetheless. And yes, I'm a Motordyne *****.

 

That's easily close to $3K with all of your bolt on & tunes if my math is right & you bought new. OP can find a used TT Kit for close to that price & run a safe low boost like 6-8Psi & see gains close to 100hp to the wheels. What we are simply trying to tell him is that its very expensive in terms of how much u put in with bolt ons compared to how much power u actually get back from that investment. Its not a car that can be cheaply modded for higher HP. Not to mention every car is different and you seem to have a very good set up as well as an excellent tuner to get those #s. Great job bro!! My set up is similar & I only gained 30whp.

 

Its not that simple check out some of the "is it really worth it" threads on my350 FI section (ill find the link if you would like) listen to some of our stories and how much it really takes just to run 6-8psi safely.

The only somewhat *cheap* way to make power on a VQ is N20, which can be just as safe if done right.
