Hello all.
I just purchased a 94 st hatchback manual. Ive been reading some of the forums and trying to get as much info as possible. I tuned the car up with new plugs, wires, rotor bug, and oil, and Im already loving the car. Basically Im trying to get some more power, with nothing as serious as engine swaps. I was wondering if putting money into st motor is worth it, and what are some good starts besides intakes and headers. thanks. This post has been edited by Gnaredge: Jun 26, 2007 - 1:57 AM |

Mine's a little peppy since I did the headers, high flow cat, piping, exhaust, cai, plugs and wires and regrounding... but it's still slower than hell. I still love her though. We'll see if she picks up at all with the underdrive pulley that should be here on friday. Aside from that, a lot of people will tell you to either turbo it or just do suspension mods. Our cars don't seem to have too much easily attainable power without some serious and expensive modifications.
And welcome to the boards! -------------------- |

I vote engine swap if you want power.

i say if you want a little more power with out swapping the make a turbo kit like i did but it will cost almost the same as a swap , atleast mine has.
