i have about 200.00 and i dont know what to do with it.....i want to make my car faster...but is there anyway i can without adding bpu's....if so can someone please tell and what are simple engine upgrades i can do? thanx alot peace yall

 

you should first let us know what you've got!

 

Take a driving course....its fun too!

 

Since its a 94 i would say tuneup. new plugs wires distributor cap rotor. If its already running like a champ aem cai.

 

I concurr with MRSmith there, tune up , or if its already up to snuff... aem cai or injen cai.

 

A driving school would be fun, but I don't have that kind of extra money laying around. Get a tuneup, make sure all your fluids are nice an pretty, check the plugs, wires, that stuff. Make sure everything is in good working order before you add any performance stuff.

If everything checks out I'd invest in a CAI, but beware the dreaded hydrolock. Do the research, most people get the CAI but personally I chose the Short Ram for peace of mind.

But, almost definately an intake if you aren't down with the driving school.

 

don't forget to get the valves done when u do the tune up

 

hey sorry for asking but what is a cai?

 

CAI = Cold Air Intake.

This is an intake system where the car is fed with cooler air for more power. Generally, each 10 degrees drop in temp = 1% more HP. A filter on a stick aka short ram intake will probably be able suck in more air than a stock system, but if the air is much warmer (like the air in the engine bay), you may not gain much, or even any HP or TQ...

There is usually a compromise, and with the CAI there is usually some threat of "water-suck" where you can get a certain amt of water into your motor. Water doesn't compress very well, so things break.

AEM is prob the most popular CAI, and they offer the Bypass valve to help prevent hydrolock. There is some debate on the efficacy. The Comptech Icebox system is supposed to be much better at preventing hydrolock.

Good luck,
