Poor Rocky can't get any straight answers. rolleyes.gif

The answer is methodical oil changes, regular tune-ups, not overly beating on your car, and addressing problems before they become big.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

Weight reduction is free...you could take out your sub, but I'm not sure if you'd want to do that.

There really aren't too many free or very cheap ways to get more power out of our cars...

Find the the biggest fan in your house. Strap it to the top of your car and wire it to the battery. That should at least look like you tried to be cheap on performance. Just Kidding.



Oh and when someone asks what the hell it is. Tell them it is a custom turbo! ..................HaHa!

horsepower isnt cheap.

some ways to free up wasted HP on your vehicle:
Weight reduction
remove EGR system
gut cat(s)
remove A/C and powersteering
and most importantly learn to drive the car better

relocate your air filter to the front of your car (in the front bumper)(don't make the tubing bigger than the throttle body)
take out the back seat
smaller 14"-15" wheels
take off your muffler entirely (HAHALOL *cough def at sport compact*)
remove the excess systems-radio is easy, door panels are easy,
short shifter(for manual applications)
spark lugs, wires, cap and rotor, sythetic oil, 2 bottles of octance boost that are a boost in 10 points each(equivelnt to 1pnt=.1octance number so 2 bottles equals 93 octane is now 95)LOL
get rid of your girl
the passenger seat
ect
