ok heres the thing a freind of mine jus got an 01 S2K he wants to get some stuff for it n i suggest a few things he should get please tell me what u think Toda header, Comptech cat-back, Apex'i Vafc 2, and K&N cai... also i got a ? about the K&N intake on their website it seems that the sri make more power than the cai but since he's gonna get it tuned wouldnt it b better to go along w/ the cai cause that'll give him more power all around?

 

huh? its hard to read one really long sentence. the K&N FIPK makes most power.

 

what is his budget?

The header on the car is already good. Here is what I would do (in order)

1) CAI
2) Exhaust and test pipe (preferably single)
3) 4.57 Gears
4) AEM EMS (if it is over his budget, then VAFC-II)
5) Header

These parts will probably cost him a little over $2000. He can also get a used SC kit for $3000 which would be the best thing to do

 

go straight to FI, small stuffs on S just a waste more money and make alot of noise

yeah his buget on mods is gonna b low 2500- 3g's at max......he's gonna wanna keep it n/a.... he wants it to sounds good but also gain a lil pep too......also no 1 answered the originals guestions about the particualars mods that i suggested to his r they good?

 

he's gonna gain an extremely extremely small "peck". he can buy a used great condition reliable supercharger with that. but hey he can waste his money if he wants.

That parts list can hit over 5k easily. Just a rough estimate:

CAI - 200 for AEM or 1300 for J's
Exhaust/test pipe - 1000+
Gears - 600-1000 installed
AEM EMS + tuning - 1500+
Header - 1000+

 

thats why im keeping mine stock, n/a suck for this car,

and i dont wanna blow my money on a blower. booze and hookers are funner.

 

Here is what I would do. Costs $3000 with installation

Comptech Ice Box $350
Spugen Single $500
Test Pipe $100
Megan Header $350
VAFC-II $250
Install and Dyno $400

4.57 Gears $1000 installed

TOTAL: $3000

With all these, the car will easily hit 13.3-13.4 on the track with a good launch

 

i'd rather waste my money and gain no power n/a then to be considered fi with a measily supercharger. Superchargers make baby power on the S

 

i am curious to know how much of an improvement would changing the gears be.

I have an 00 so i have the shorter gears....

What are the stock gears....

and are you talkin about the diff?

stock internal with plug and play piggy back, what do you expect.

if you going to go all out, sideway did make 234odd hp, per liter

with the N/A mod, you are only moving the powerband up top, or something else, stock part are so effiecent in the first place. well, good luck and have fun with it

how do you have shorter gears? 00-03 have the same gears and final drives 04-07 have shorter gears and same final drive.

Yea the Transmission gearing is diff. but i dont know the diff. in the 2!!!

 

superchargers make there power up top aswell

 

4.77 gears and either greddy emanage or AEM EMS. thats it.

 

00-03 AP1'S have a longer 1-5 and a shorter 6th than ap2's.

 

I say scrap all that and get gears since i saw that the budget is 2500. Just get 4.57 or 4.77. Best bang for the buck out of any mod for the S. With the money left over, get the CAI intake, than the single exhaust system.

 

It depends on your friends budget. For an exhaust with proven gains and that sounds great, i would recommend the j's racing 60rs

 

with the price of I/H/E, youd net more with a EMS and a tune.
