How can I add Some HP???, Easy ways to add horse power? Options

[6strngs]

I figured that much a place on this website tells us that to get the max out of our upgrades to reset our ECU everytime we upgrade it's pretty darn easy they tell us how to do it and im still getin my throttle body spacers then I will dyno the car again and ill let you all know how much hp I have and what upgrades I have.if anyone can dyno test thier car try reseting ur ECU then dyno the car let us all know if it's true

it's to reset the computer so it can adjust itself. if you add more air then you'd run lean, so the ECU compensates for it. you don't necessarily need to reset the ECU, after some time it will just automatically adjust itself.

so your saying resetting the ECU is stupid but dual cold air intakes and mini leaf blowers are smart?

lmfaooooo

no. I didn't say anything even remotely close to that. I explained WHY resetting the ECU works, but said it's not necessary because it will just reset itself after time. AND I never approved of the dual CAI or electric turbos. notice how I said he would have no more than 120 at the wheels? A near-stock (injen intake) GT makes like 110-115.

i wasnt talkin to you playa! i was talking to the other kid who said throttle body spacers on our cars make hp

this website tells us that to get the max out of our upgrades to reset our ECU

N/A, Turbo, Supercharged, and NOS

Either way, you are going to be spending a good bit of money for a proper set up on a high mileage motor.

I will start with NOS. Great cheap HP boost right. If you look at the big picture,.... On a high mileage motor, you are gonna need a rebuild after every 15,000 miles. All of those gaskets and all of that work starts to add up. On top of using fuel management for proper firing.; You can use NOS without fuel management, but you increase the risk of detonation.

Next comes Supercharging. You are pull power to make power. Although, this would seem inefficient, ithe amount of power taken to make more power can be greatly decreased with the use of smaller pullies, standalone management, etc.Superchargers are also expensive, though.

MmmMMmm, turbos. I prefer turbocharging to anything. It is cheap, efficient, and easy. With a lil bit of research and math, you can take a great turbo system and make it blow. If you have the money, kits for our cars start at 2,400. If you are lacking on cash, you can put one together from used parts and ebay for about 600. Again, research makes this efficient.

N/A. You will spensd more time and money on your motor then any other option. But, you will eventually be doing an essential N/A set up, just about neway you go. I started working N/A and am now working toward turbo. Every vehicle I have had were all N/A. Harder to tune, but you can get a greater increase in HP.


Of course, you can run NOS on a supercharged, turbocharged, or NA engine. But, increased heat means increased maintenance. I also have to say, I am not putting down any for of tuning. Just presenting my views. One mans vice is always gonna break some other guys perspective.

just do an engine swap to an st205?
