Its a 2000 ls, black ext., parchment int. bone stock with 25k miles. stick, payed $11.5k from a honda dealership, which is a good price for orance county where I live. I originally wanted an ek hatch with hopes of savin up for a new motor for it, but I guess i'll have to work with the LS. Suggestions?

how much gain will i see from bolt ons? is it worth investing the time and money, voiding the warranty? ...lsvtec?

 

y not go turbo?

 

bolt ons should add abotu 20 t0 25 hp. depends on what kinda you get.
i would say go turbo.

 

I/H/E really wont add anywhere near 25 whp....With an ls I really would consider turbo. Its a big investment though. You really should set some goals with the car...i.e. what you want to run, if its a drag car, autox beast, power goals...etc.

Good luck. Congrats on the ride.

 

DO U MEAN SO CAL??? MY FRIEND FOUND A 98 ITR FOR 13k
IN IRVINE CA... 56K MILES FROM A LEXUS DEALER

 

you probably won't see anymore than roughly 15-18 hp with i/h/c/e. if your looking for just a liitle more power you could stick with those but if you want serious power and you have deep pockets, i would definitely consider installing a turbo set-up.

 

i/e/h/c pulley kit, suspension/sway bar, tires. you will have a nice responsive car. and is easy to swap in/out if you want to keep the warranty.

if you are going for brute strait line power and dont care about the warranty go turbo.

if your going for autoX/track racing look into a JDM itr tranny, flywheel, cams, IM, ect

The point im trying to get at is that you need to decide what you want from your car.

 

i agree, it totally depends on what you are lookin for in the car. For a bone-stock LS, you won't be making much more hp with i/h/e/c. If you had bought a GS-R it'd be more considerable.

 

LS seems like it's practically made for Turbo
