headers exhaust cold air intake

 

Welcome to HAN, u could start with a cold air intake, headers and exaust. That should get u to about 130 hp depending on the quality of ur mods.

 

ok thanks.. like where should i look on ebay mayb?
now with the cold air intake ive looked at those.. can i just get the K&N filter or do i need the whole set up?

 

U could find some preety cheap intakes on ebay, look for cold air intakes they will give u more hp than ram air intakes. I got an aem v2 it cost me 265.oo u could find one on ebay used for like 150.oo ish or cheaper

 

A header, intake and exhaust put together will net you about 10-15hp max.

 

My intake by itself gives me 11 hp to da flywheel,( started 154 hp on a stock b16a2 ended up with 165hp)

 

from one lx owner to another, do yourself a favor, and don't spend money on engine mods for the car.

i/h/e doesn't yeild much power for the money you're spending.

just focus on other things, stereo, exterior/interior, suspension, things like that. leave the engine stock and enjoy the good gas milage

if you want to go fast, be prepared to spend alot of money on a motor swap. but since you're 16, just use the car to learn to drive.

 

thats a big negative, there's no way you can get to that number on a d16y7, even at the crank.

 

:werd: hit the nail on the head.
