besides turbo what will give me some good extra power?

thanks for any help guys

 

1. Cold Air Intake
2. Header + Exuahst System
3. Dry shot of Nitrous
4. Injectors, Fuel Rail, FuelPressure Regulator, Fuel Pump

Only thing I can suggest that you wont have more than a day of down time on

EDIT:

Also you can remove some parts off you car.
Air Resonator
Space Tire
Rear Windshield Wiper Assembly
Winshield wash pump and resavoir (spelling bad)
a/c if you got it.
Remove power steering if you got it that will save a few pounds and free up some hp

NOS

 

Some agressive camshafts, cam sprockets, and a good port and polish job will add some hp. Tuning is key however. If you want to make major power turbo is the way to go. Want to know why people always say that the best way to make hp is going turbo? Because it is.

pounds yes power not much.

 

thanks for the input guys... any more?

 

head work (cams, p&p, valvetrain), pistons, rods, intake manifold, throttle body to match port size of manifold inlet, and most importantly TUNING!!! skip the cam gears and put that cash into the tuning process in the form of good engine management.....and as stated before fuel system mods can't do anything but help as well for Red01teg's input

it all hinges on what kind of budget you have and honestly your final aspirations of what you want to get out of the car power and reliability wise

 

I have the same motor... If all you kare about is more power, the cheapest and most HP gain is NOS. Other then that, since you don't want turbo, the best thing would be to swap the motor. K20(rsx) motors are getting popular now as swaps.
Most cases with NOS, the motor won't last as long with spraying all the time and using it for a dd(daily driver). Trust me, spraying gets addicting, ask anyone. Its a lot safer then back in the day, but it will put a major wear on the motor ans eventually you will have to rebuild or get a new one.

 

nothing besides nos and turbo will give you any considerable performance increases unless you want to build an ls-vtec. the motor simply does not have enough head flow or displacement to be formidable as a NA motor.

 

i will eventually do turbo.. exceopt i don twant ot have a tock engine pretyt mcuh and jsut slap on a kit... iwould liek to buiild my motor atleast a little bit first

go post in the type r forum if you want to see what im talking about. im trying to tell you as nicely as humanly possible. but some people just have to learn the hard way.

 

its allowed to be my favorite car.. ive been posting in every forum almost in here... well.. car related anyways.. and who gives a flying **** about the name? yah so waht... i like the car

 

you can like it, but you can't have that kinda name on these forums without getting flamed for it

go post in the type r forum and tell them you have an ls

 

well ive been posting in here for two years and doood is the only one to mention it.. and think of it this way...

so since my screen name reflects my favorite car.... shouldnt dood be posting in the homosexual forum.. cus thats what he likes....? exactly... its jsut a screen name.. im not gunna ssume hes gay for having dooood as his name.. who gives a ****

 

why the hell would i post in that forum? i don thave a type R jsutbecause of my screen name.. wow some people are immature WHO CARES ITS A SCREEN NAME GET A LIFE

 

all you are doing is alienating yourself, if you would have just taken it with a grain of salt your thread might be yielding useful info instead of this BS

most ppl pick usernames that describe them or a hobby, not what they like, not that its wrong, but ppl get touchy when the type R comes up

hell if i took a cue from you, my name could be "*******"

 

i was just trying to give you a heads up. way to overreact. but what should i have expected, you're 17.

 

"shouldnt dood be posting in the homosexual forum.. cus thats what he likes....? exactly."

word^^
