What's the next step?
Hey guys just trying to get an idea of what I should do next.
Here's what I have on my 03.5 6mt sedan Blox 5/16 plenum spacer Some off brand cold air intake Stillen gen 1 car back exhaust Nismo short shifter Tein street basic coil overs Nismo all around body kit Stage 1 clutch (if you need details I'll let you know) Pioneer double dinn Jb w3v2 Alpine speaker e in front s in back 20" rim idk the brand Started the wire tuck for the engine bay but need the wheel liner to do the rest Ummmm I think there's more just can't think if it right now. I know that a lot of people are going to say test pipes tune build the motor and so on but I don't have a lot of money to blow but want to do more to get more power or style. So want to know what everyone on here thinks I should do next. Let me know what you all think I should do. Any info is appreciated. Thanks |
You could use a tune :) (see my FS thread).
Nice list! |
Definitely a tune. $500 and it makes a big difference in responsiveness.
|
Be careful what aftermarket cats you invest in. I have the stillen gen 2 and for about a year I ran them with berk HFCs. The increase in torque was dramatic and a tune on top of that was golden. But, I recently went back to stock cats because it was just to loud and obnoxious.
|
Cool guys thanks. But like I said can't blow a whole lot of money. So in this case what tune should I go with. And drkay what hfc would you recommend. I live in souther California and cops here love to pull you over for any little thing.

Op high flow cats are illegal in california, but so is most of what you have done. If you do high flow cats you have to put stock cats, stock intake and remove the plunum spacer when you smog. If you replace or add anything cats or before it has to have a carb number.

I know a place that will over look most the engine mods I've done. I just know that if I do cats he won't pass me and after changing the cats on my buddy's z Its too much work to have to take it off and on. That's the only reason why I'd need to find hfc that are Cali legal if they even exist.

K8netix has ones that will supposedly pass the sniffer, but dont have a carb number so wont pass visual. No aftermarket, other than one designed to oem standards, will pass.
|
The best tune:

Pick up a set of sway bars.
|
Ditch the generic intake and have me install one of my custom setups with proven power and none of the setbacks of typical cold-air setups. PM me if you are interested.
|
I also have a garage full of polished engine parts to dress up the bay and I have a gently used GTspec strut bar.
