ok, so after considering everything, id really like to go all motor, cause i mean really, its just bad ***. im not planning on going too crazy, i wanna drive it everyday, but my question was, what should i do. I was thinking of pretty much everything, cams(with cam gears and valves and springs) pistons, rods, stuff like that. i also have a VAFC, but i think i might as well go AEM EMS or GReddy EManage. i dont know, if anyone can help and give me advice as to how to go with a reliable all motor set up, id appreciate it, thanks

 

ur budget!!!?

 

YEA .. HOW MUCH YOU LOOKING TO SPEND??

 

any hp goals?

 

im not looking to spend anything too crazy...maybe like, 2-5 grand at the most? hp goals are nothing, maybe get it up to where it should be at 240, but i dunno, lets just say 2-5 grand, no hp goal

 

if you are going to do internal motor work its going to COST more than 2-5k.

try more like 8-10K.


even if you just get intake, header, exhaust w/ AEM it would cost more than 5k plus tunning.

but it is possible to make 240 whp with just that.

 

a stroker kit alone is your budget...

I/H/E you can swing...Building the head gets expensive also...

nooo way!! ... its gonna cost him more than 5 G's ... think about the labor

 

lol...with a range like $2,000-$5,000, it sounds to me like you need to think about this a little bit more. Not that that amount of money isnt enough, but its a LARGE range, you can do ALOT more for $5,000 than you can with $2,000...n/a wise though, expect to spend alot more to make the kind of power i think you have in mind.

 

I think that if your budget is around 5k, you might get more power from a S/C than going NA. Unless you defenitly want to go NA and tha's it. But for me the S/C will make you run faster and is just a bolt-on-kit.

Good luck!!

 

Get rear gears, yellow box(speedo correction) and reinforced differential. Probably ~ $1400 after labor. 4.44 , 4.57, 4.77 are your main choices. 4.57 would make your car about .4 secs faster in the 1/4 mile. One the track though it depends on how its layed out if you will be faster or not. Sometimes gears can be a disadvantage in autox.

 

if you have 5 G's ... get I/H/E and aem ems and ure set ... J's intake , toda header, spugen single outlet exhaust

I would go with this advice. In fact if I ever modded my S2K it would be with the Rick's 4.57 gears. Right now my project car is the Civic, so I don't have any money for the S.

 

with a 5k budget? I'd do gears, IHE + AEM EMS. may go over a lil but thats would be the set up

 

J's intake = $1200

Spugen Ti = $700

Toda header = $1200

AEM EMS = $1300


do the math .. i round off everything

the t1r 70mm ever come out yet?

 

1200 is a little too much for an intake. well, 2500 is a little much for the dual amuse R1 exhaust..****, everything is expensive for the S

I agree. $1200 is too much. I would just look into the K&N FIPK.

 

i've seen some people running the arc box with the chamber. how's the performance on that? other than people saying heatsoak. any pros?

everyone says heatsoak...but everyone running it says they feel a gain and have no signs of heat soak...

 

cheaper route but it works:

intake = comptech
header = j's or spoon
exhaust = t1r 70mm (whenever it comes out)

those there add up to about 2200-2300

get AEM EMS + Tuning. spend rest of gears
