I have a obd1 motor i am swapping for an obd2, and i wanted to know what kind of performance upgrade would i get by changing my stock intake manifold to a skunk 2 intake manifold and throttle body upgrade my fuel rail and injectors without dyno

 

Can't believe i just wasted my time reading this.

 

i know it was a weird question but im going non-vtec

 

8-10hp?

 

hmm, lets add it up:

S2 intake mani -230
TB - 120-150
fuel rail (useless) - 100
injectors - 200

If you go with a bigger TB then youll need porting the IM to match - 50


Dont forget a tune for your shiny new injectors!

so 100 or so for chipped ECU (if you dont have the skills to chip it)
200 for tune
100 for dyno time


im close to over $1000 just to run your set up which will get you 10-15 more power.


:edit: youll probably need a new fuel pump since the OE is probably going to fail soon. +80 bucks.. dont forget to change your fuel filter. +20

this is how my Ls runs now..there was a few cars in front so i was holding 80 for a while

 

over $1000 for just 10-15hp doesn't seem worth it at all

 

so it runs like high 16's low 17's just like the rest of them? whats the point?

 

Nice blaring music and launc that bogged you down to 3 grand. What a useless post

 

there are other ways to make power.. just have to look at others builds, figure out a power goal, and most of all, have $$$


going fast isnt cheap!

fast
reliable
cheap

pick 2 and the 3rd is what its not

 

ok no need for fuel injecters man and fuel rale will do nothing for u outher than raise ur pimp ricer status you dont havfe the comp are boost to worry about needing bigger injecter if i was you id KISS (keep it simple stupid)

git a desent intake (being 100% honest what my had has had best luck with is a AEM intake)
git a hedder (a nock off ITR hedder will work just fine)
git a desent 2.5" exhoust
git a litend flywheel (fadanza, exady......)
might as well git a desent clutch you wont need any thing huge (im running a exady 3 puc and exady flywheel in my hatch)

the clutch and flywheel are if you are a 5 speed if ur car is a auto well thin id just leave it alone and drive it if it is a 5 speed might look into finding a b16 are a GSR tranny to replace ur ls shorten up the gearing a bit make it a little bit more fun

beond this untell u wana git into spending some money in a rebuild to up youre comp and do some head work you dont need any thing else all that would be a wast of money

 

it was a slight hill i know and it wasn't a useless post

 

im going to buy and ECU but what i want to know is..since i have a auto is there a difference in ECU's from auto to manual?..meaning is there a specific ECU i need since i have an auto?
