can you guys give me some ideas on a possible next mod for my 95 LS, please. I already have the bolt ons (I/H/E) and some motor mounts and a short shifter and now im looking for something more. i want to stay under $1000 if possible. Any help greatly appreciated, i just want to make sure i didnt over look anything before i decide. Thanks

yea not under a grand.

id say pick up a good suspension set-up like gc/koni yellow. a suspension is one of the best mods ive got on my car...to me its the most noticable mod compared to normal bolt ons.

 

well get stuff that will help you later when u do get ur turbo, such as: intake manifold (tb), injectors ect...thats what im in the process of doing

 

just throw it into savings until you have ($x) for your turbo.... $1000 is a good start...and it's a huge step to a turbo

 

I like the idea of a TB and a intake manifold, what are you guys running and what did you pay? any more ideas?

if your planning on cranking up the power you might want to look into beefing up the suspension first....if not you wont be able to put the power down good.

 

You could probably chip it and definitely have it tuned for under 1g. Dyno it and have the shop mod the ecu to run a little leaner, you should get some gains for relatively cheap.

 

I say put in cams, crower 403s or skunk2, you want to put in springs and retainers to, so should be around 700-800 bucks.

This man speeks the truth. Beef your suspension up or spend that money and get some track time in.

second that...

 

you all are missing the point, he wants more power, but as the saying goes...."power is nothing without control". suspension needs to be beefed up in order to take full advantage of the power.

You are very correct Before you start adding an insane amount of power to a vehicle that was never meant for "adding power" you are going to need to beef up the OE suspension to specs that are made to handle that output of power. Handling, control, etc are overlooked all too often.

 

cams

 

yeah i am looking for power, and i dont think im going to make enough power to need more suspension than i have already for under 1k. thanks for the suggestions cams and springs/retainers sounds good too, what would give me more of a gain, cams or intake manifold? thanks for the help, keep it coming!

are you running a stock suspension you accually never mention, so i thought you might have still been running stock. and you can beef you suspension up enought for 800. koni/custom rate gcs.

 

Def. put in cams, suspension is not that big of deal, 15 more horsepower is not gonna make the car hard to handel with stock suspension, after that put in an intake man. and get it tuned on hondata.

 

LSD!!!!!! order up a quaiffe dude. disclaimer: make sure you actually have really good wheels and tires you will be amazed at how much better this car can be with good rubber and a lsd.

yea you think a suspension only help in the corners? suspension help with traction issue, the car wont lurch back as much when launching with a stiffer suspension then with a stock one. trust me i would have choosen a suspension over most of the mods that i did before i got my suspension.

 

dude if you want to turbo that bitch dont waste your time on cams and tuning. this will have to be redone when the turbo is kickin. suspension is very important. it will make your car quicker both in a straight line and around the corners. Good rubber and wheels to accomodate it plus good suspension, and i mean good, not just some shitty drop springs will make your car so much better. My buddy did koni yellows and h&r springs with some 16x7 rotas with eagle f1 tires on a beat up 94 ls and that thing was alot of fun. HUGE IMPROVEMENT
