I am getting my G coupe in about a month, and I am trying to get an estimate as to how much I will probably spend bumping my G's horses up to 300 (or more). I'm a noob at modding, so I need as much help as possible. Would a nice CAI do it? What would you do, or what have you done?

 

Your going to need more then that

 

lol like?

 

What year is the G you're looking for? Cause you do know cars lose horsepower over time... So you'll probably need 30-40 more hp to get 300. A CAI won't do it. A plenum spacer will only give you about 10 extra horsepower. Just invest in JDM stickers, a carbon fiber hood, a 4 foot spoiler, and you'll be good to go.

 

If you want 300+HP then force Induction will do it. But other then that, every bolt on and a tune will do it. But chsieh is right, what year are you looking at?

 

Search around and you can find a lot of info on mods.

If you're talking 300 WHP.... you're going to have to spend a lot of money considering that most stock G's put down between 230 and 245 WHP.

You'd need at least a 100% full exhaust system(headers, HFC's/Test Pipes, Cat-Back exhaust), aftermarket intake, aftermarket plenum or spacer, cams, lightweight flywheel, and a good tune. Even with all that, I doubt you'd still have 300 WHP.

If you want big power, you should consider getting a turbo or supercharger setup but that will set you back about $10K to do it right.

 

I thought G's put down 280ish?

 

hummm.... you lose 20% of the power to the wheels.

 

I am looking at 03-04, cosidering my budget.

Would a CAI help? And also, it may be my mod noobiness coming in, but I can't tell if you're serious or not about the stickers and the 4 foot spoiler lol.

 

You might want to look into an already modded G. Plenty of turbo and supercharged 35's out there that are putting 300 or more to the wheels.

 

you might get 9hp at the most. but you will not notice it at all. the only thing you will know is the noise.

 

What exactly is forced induction? And how much would it cost me lol.

 

FI is turbo or supercharger and nos

 

but that are also a couple g's above my budget. Yes, I might end up putting down that difference in mods to an unmodded G, but that's over time.

 

And the supercharger is about 10k?
