Recommendations

[blaknoize]

Anybody have any recommendations on which type of throttlebody/intake kit combination works well? Or better yet does it matter? I'm considering purchasing some new bolt on goods for my bday and would like to know.

And of course, it cant be baller status, just dollar menunair status guys.

Thanks

What's your complete mods list right now?

engine / mileage

[blaknoize]

Mileage is estimated at 143,xxx
Full 2.25 inch exhaust and header.
No other mods, unless u count that Obd-0 ECU as a mod, but it hasnt been chipped.
At least to my knowledge

[Vteckidd]

LS motor?

Dont bother with a TB.

Get a good header, you can get a megan racing JDM header for $150

[blaknoize]

Well it already has a DC header 4to1
And yes, I forgot that the motor itself counts as a mod in this car.

[BABY J]

Ok....

I'd def get into an OBD1 conversion as one of my top prioroties. SlowMotion can tune Uber (if that's more affordable to you, but you know I am a Hondata man).

My 1st order of business would be (if I had your car) the conversion to OBD1. Followed close by tuning what you have on the dyno. I've always had the luxury of parking a car while I am modding it, so 1 tune after the build. BUT, in your case...

1) buy the parts for OBD1 conversion
2) chipped ECU
3) nice street cams w/ adj gears
4) 50 shot wet nitrous
5) traction bars

Take the 1st 3 items, get them installed and tuned on the dyno

Then add the gas/bars later and call it a day.

It also never hurts to add a beefier ignition when you are spraying.

5 RAGE/HYTECH TRi-Y HEADERS!!! 30 DAY SPECIAL!! WONT LAST!!!

[blaknoize]

Chalk the nitrous, I'm just trying to reach roughly 160-170hp. So the Obd-0 isnt better for overall top-end horsepower?

But I will most definantly look into the first 3 items and I get it tuned from someone over there in WV. Since the first 3 are actually reachable. So no need for a TB? Just a nice Air intake. EBay here I come.

[blaknoize]

Thats a baller header right there, but its oh so pretty.

i say screw upgrades and get your motor dialed in first!

I've got most of the crap for an OBD1 conversion...

And by most, I mean an ECU (PR4...actually, I told Mr. Kidd it'd be his...depends on what happens here, I guess) and the injectors and pigtails and I might even have an extra fuel rail? I think I've also got an extra exhaust manifold/downpipe and O2 sensor...

I'd have to check, but I've got like 3 different OBD1 pigtails...LoL.

You'll still need your dizzy. I can't remember what else...

basically, let me know if you go OBD1 so I can get you some goodies. I've gotta get the crap outta my basement.

[blaknoize]

Will do. And... get my motor dialed in?
The only problem was the vacuum lines. Once I get a new radiator and thermostat in, the motor will be mostly ok. But it has developed a "trying to die" sensation on occasion. IDK... but I'ma look into it. Runs great though runnin with DSM's!!

[JDMJAYDC2]

so your motor is acting up and your racing dsm's

i smell another getting outta the game thread

FIX UR MOTOR! get it tip top shape then mod!!! your throwing money at a bottomless pit buying performance before doing basic maint.

get your motor dialed in first aka fix all your small problems then upgrade

LOL reps (if i can)

[BABY J]

put 2 turbos on it - roll on the spring - 25lb srping. it'll hold

[blaknoize]

U cant smell it if I dont cook it.

IDK if its a problem and that lil "race" we had was before the car got warm enough. No thermostat and 5degree weather, so u kno, it just idled as if it was warming up. So I had no idea. As for the problem itself. I'm mistified as always.

[blaknoize]

And whats with u always assuming I dont do basic maintence????
I dont get that, its like ur the only person that even says that. I'm not THAT retarded. Everything that needed to be done has been done. Like when u buy a used car period. Oil/air/fuel filters, transmisson oil changed, radiator will be flushed and filled whenever i get a new one as well as that thermostat, new timingbelt. Everything on the chassis itself is new, seeing as I did all that with the other motor.

I MAY get a new waterpump, but it works fine. What the ELSE am I suppose to do then? Since u seem to know it all, all the time for me.

Yea I admit, I made 2 of those gettin outta the game threads, but u cant seem to understand that all this movin and disorganization fuks someone up. I mean... I've done it 4 times already. And havin no car AND no place to live makes it even harder, so I freaked out a lil. IDK y u act like I cant do anything for myself. I need help often, but I want to make sure, so I DONT put money into a useless machine.

i dont even feel like opening another window to search your post just to quote them all here ben has more time than me therefore left you what he said. I'm no hater kid but i have seen you in action at the bp so i know how you treat a car baby j and JDM_EK4 can all vouch. Hell you revved a cold ass motor on a cold day for no reason and im on your case?? If i can remember correctly lol hell i was the one that took time out of my day to post all those motor options for you lmao! My point is we all took time out to HELP your ass out with your countless threads asking this and that and this. I never once complained or said something like umm how bout searching. My problem with you is WE HELP YOU! we tell you what to do and you dont do it you do what you want to do. Then when it blows up in your face as did the bashing of OG skinny did you come and say oh im sorry and all this crap. Im done with you kid! You say im on your case then i wont be im done helping, giving my .2 on anything you post from here on out. Hell when you were fawked i told ben to put my engine work on hold so YOU could get home. So you know what hell throw another Boost controller on your stock motor in a state that the locals dont know about engine swaps, add more mods that you cant do yourself but dont pm me or waste threads asking dumb questions when EVERYONE here has told you to take your time and follow the course that everyone else has. We do that for a reason.

Cause it works!!!

[EvasiveEF9]

**sigh**

Kid...kid....easy. Let's back it up. When you FIRST joined here, we welcomed you and said that yes, we're a family, we welcome anyone to come around, BUT, we tend to be sarcastic and brutal, pretty much. I know because I'm the one that usually warns people after I welcome them with something along those lines.

Next...you JUST stated you raced a DSM while your car has issues...the thermostat for example. If the engine isn't running it's proper temperature, the motor will not perform properly, thus causing more problems, or starting some to begin with. For example, if the motor is too hot, engine oil can thin-out, and shave metal or put a hole in the side of the block...or...finally, it can seize a piston in the cylinder. Not to mention the fact that if it's too hot, metal expands. What do you think that's doing to your moving components at their contact points? To the other extreme, a cold motor has oil that HASN'T been thinned out, and can cause too high or too low of oil pressure because it can't suck up the thick oil quick enough, or because it's trying to put too much oil (law of physics on affect of temperature to density) through the lines and in the contact points. All this aside, you still have to think of how the temperature is affecting your exhaust. It can burn up a cat converter, and will throw misreadings to an o2 sensor, causing it to cause the computer to try to make up the difference and give more or less fuel, which throws off your compression and everything. Not to mention, you know what happens when you take a really hot piece of glass and put it in cold water...it shatters. Again...imagine what the laws of physics are doing to your motor? All this comes together to bring up my next point...you pushed a motor (racing a DSM) before it was warmed up. You're not even supposed to drive a car until it reads on your temp gauge in the car. Hell, they actually say you're not supposed to drive it at all until it reaches normal opp. temp.

Building cars is about experience and experiences. I've done just about every project on my car without the help of someone else's experience. I'm not saying DON'T ask us for help. But I AM saying don't be skirred to think for yourself.

[JDMJAYDC2]

lol i did feel like it just so i dont get a pm from you talking ish like i normally do

Anybody have any recommendations on which type of throttlebody/intake kit combination works well? Or better yet does it matter? I'm considering purchasing some new bolt on goods for my bday and would like to know.

Thanks

what performance parts are you trying to get??

Mileage is estimated at 143,xxx
Full 2.25 inch exhaust and header.
No other mods, unless u count that Obd-0 ECU as a mod, but it hasnt been chipped.
At least to my knowledge

This clearly shows you know nothing about what your "mods" are going to be
my guess is you havent even done a leakdown test yet huh dont know what that is Oh yeah thats what EVERYONE told you to do when OG-skinny sold you a "bad motor"

and now my fav. of your posts i did this in real life

Will do. And... get my motor dialed in?
The only problem was the vacuum lines. Once I get a new radiator and thermostat in, the motor will be mostly ok. But it has developed a "trying to die" sensation on occasion. IDK... but I'ma look into it. Runs great though runnin with DSM's!!

yeah the thermostat and radiator arent really that important in a state where its cold?? but hey like you said "I'm not THAT retarded ok buddy

lets finally this genius logic quote.....

U cant smell it if I dont cook it.

IDK if its a problem and that lil "race" we had was before the car got warm enough. No thermostat and 5degree weather, so u kno, it just idled as if it was warming up. So I had no idea. As for the problem itself. I'm mistified as always.

lol what is there more to say you yourself! You even say your mistified as always so which is it are you a noob or do you know basic maint.

If your a complete noob then do like i did pm ppl, find out info, search other forums. do all of this then you wont post useless crap.

But if you are a car genius then please help me because last time i checked running your car without a thermostat UNTUNED was a dumb idea but hey i havent had the same motor you have in your car for a couple of WEEKS for oh i dont know 7 years so i dont know much about it

[EvasiveEF9]

Jermaine...easy, man...

[Grimm Reeper]

lol wow I can tell that he may or may not have something to say, but since he's a smart-ass ; he'll definitely have a reply for you Jay


REPPED

[Grimm Reeper]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to JDMJAYDC2 again.


Next time man

[KevinT707]

TB will do nothing for you right now. Get an Ebay intake (if you don't already have one) + AEBS intake manifold. Since you already have a DC header and 2.25" exhaust then that's about all the power you'll make with bolt-ons.

Actually, get a lightened flywheel and while the tranny is out go ahead and upgrade the clutch. It will make a big difference.

[JDMJAYDC2]

he is past that stage kevin motor is in the car already

[bigdare23]

CATFIGHT!!!!

[KevinT707]

he is past that stage kevin motor is in the car already

I know that foo, I'm just saying if he was to swap a clutch then he mine as well get a lightened flywheel also dufus.

[JDMJAYDC2]

who else want some beat him down beat you down!

[BABY J]

Owe.



Muay.




God.


That is all.

[toonz]

Buy my rex

[EvasiveEF9]

Toonz, you're selling? wtf?

[toonz]

I'm building another rex

[EvasiveEF9]

..oh. LoL.

[blaknoize]

Yea I'ma smartass. And really dont know much. I post out here for everyone to see, so I dont just have to ask 1 person. And I always end up asking Ben or Dare. There are plenty others here, so I wanna see what everyone has to say.

No need to run myself into the ground. I was just asking about parts, cuz... well I like to go fast. I'll stop posting then and take down my sig.

I dont wanna embarrass this squad anymore than I need to. I just wanted some friends.

[blaknoize]

Well with all this going on and me always pissin people off (been like 2 straight weeks of it) it just doesnt seem like anyone even likes me bein a part of this squad.

I'm always askin for ****, never givin anything, laggin behind, always needing help, yet I cant seem to do anything for u guys or toward the group. And the picking out my own quotes like QD doesnt help it either.

[bigdare23]

chill j

[blaknoize]

And that was the completely "mod" list. IDK what u guys consider mods compared to waht i consider mods. I dont really like to do that and he didnt really give me any information about his motor. As u guys know, mine used to be all stock and it was going to stay that way.

A header was all it came with, IDK what the standard ECU is for an LS motor. Cuz I kno u can chip them or even exchange ECU's (if I'm correct)

[EvasiveEF9]

J, man...settle your ass down... Just at least respect...please? I'll buy you some 5guys.
