OFFICIAL "What Mods Should I Buy for my Coupe?" Thread
#949
Wow that's a lot of engine mods all at once LOL. Personally, I prefer to do one at a time so that I know exactly what I'm getting from each mod (it also helps to pinpoint any issues or problems that come up as well). If you are going to put that many mods in at one time, I would highly recommend that you get a tune right after to get the most out of them.

high flow cats or test pipes? Also, aftermarket y pipes or leave'em stock?Is the Osiris tune worth the money? My friend is just trying to maxed out the stock motor w/o using forced induction and nitrous. He's just trying to get the most for his money...w/o spending $5k+ on a f.i. kit just to get 350whp on pump gas.

You bought the wrong car if you're looking for cheap power, should have gotten an Evo or STI.

If you want your car to pass smog than go with the cats. A tune will work best when you have some breathing mods to go with it. Good luck trying to get any real power out of a N/A setup. An aggressive set of cams w/springs combined with breather mods and an ECU reflash should give decent gains but will probably be around $3-4K, and nowhere near 350whp.

So just got a 2003 6mt g35 about a month ago and now I have 1300 dollars in grad money.. Car has mirror tint, injen intake and exhaust, and still has the stock 17 inch chrome rims.. Where should I go with the 1300 dollars? also my brother in law said he would do any 1 thing to my car for me for free because his buddy owns a shop, what should I get him to do? Thanks for any help!

Better yet tell him to check into the do it yourself sts rear mount turbo....Only like 5 k for entire kit and you can hook up yourself, then you do not need to waste money on exhaust either. You get about 350 whp and 400 ft lbs. Sound is crazy sick. http://www.ststurbo.com/

$1300 = decent wheels, but w/o tires. Maybe used wheels and tires. Otherwise, with that much you could do a nice injen exhaust to go with intake and have your buddy install it. You should enough left over for a motordyne spacer. Or I really like the new motordyne shockwave vdx2 dual exhaust, you can not go wrong with motordyne, ex-rocket scientist turned VQ35 guru, this guy knows his air flows and everything, expect motordyne products to be top quality. Just a little over your $1300, but at least you can get FREE install from buddy. http://www.motordyneengineering.com/index.php?cPath=2_9

Sry, thought I read, injen cai. I would have said wheels but in another thread some guy was saying it looks "rice" to put "cheap" wheels on a G. And by cheap he meant anything not $2500 w/o tires.
Get your head lights done up and stretch the money, hell you could do a body kit and have your buddy paint and install.
