hey guys just looking for some advise on what to do next im supercharged header w/exaust and ice box what should i do now im a 01 with 5at and dont want to burn the tranny..... am i SOL? any advise would be much appreciated i need a winter project thanks!

 

cosmetics?

 

Sell it? j/k

How about a custom car stereo?

 

scalbert's intercooler for the supercharger

 

custom fit TL kit? audio system?

 

winter=audio

 

get a intercooled/centrifical supercharger setup hehe

 

swap the tranny 4 a 6mt

 

Tranny reinforcement.
Suspension? You didn't list any.
Whee/tires?
Nitrous?

 

Do you have an HBP?
Intercooler/e-manage.

 

Yeah are you running the High Boost Pulley yet?

If so then the only real major performance upgrade left is the Intercooler. Is Steve still making these packages?

Lightweight wheels, UR 12v Crank pulley & New Rubber. Would help too.

Otherwise like everyone stated, its cosmetic/audio time which will actually decrease performance once you start adding some weight to the car.

How about your suspension? Sways, springs, shocks, strut-bar? Are you still running the stock brakes?

Still lots of stuff left, if you haven't already done them.

 

since your 5AT if you get an aftermarket tranny like one from speed distributors, you will actually gain a little power as their TQ converter is much more efficient. about $3k and worth it IMO.

you can also increase your block to 3.5L for more TQ and get custom pistons for lowered compression so maybe you can run more boost (max boost pulley) i wouldn't use that pulley on stock engine internals or w/o the intercooler. PM scalbert he makes the intercooler for the SC'd CL-S

like the others stated theres a lot you can still do... i would get a better suspension and a BBK from either rotora or brembo, lighter wheels, and some cosmetic mods. having a nice audio system isn't bad too.

there IS one guy who has a direct port nitrous system and a SC. he has an aftermarket transmission and a sick custom audio/visual setup on his ride. do a search

good luck

where is this speed distributors?.

 

Scalbert is no longer making the IC kits unless there is an order of 4-5+ at a time. (at least that's the last I heard)

You can go with the E-Manage though. Leaning out your car a little will pick up a significant amount of power.

 

florida. dean beaty is a member on this forum and a great person to contact @ speed distributors, i think his handle is deansblackcls.

 

You can speak with Jason too @ Speed Distirbutors

 

i have ebaich springs in now with tokico illuminas allso have a set of comptechs but not useing also have both comptech sway bars and no body work but a stock wing

interested in the inter cooler and in need of some help hooking up some gauges cant find a darn 3 gauge pillar that fits nice

also have 1 hx2 with a amp thats it for stereo im more of a speed junkie

 

tranny is only 3 grand!!!!! ?????? i allready bought a second block cause i got it cheap but its just a 3.2 not looking on getting to crazy with the 3.5 but the tranny is a thought im allready on my second and dealer said they wont fix again!!! damn punks i had all my stuff installed factory !!!!! but i know that customer service will ok it i allso have the 7 year 100k extended used car warrenty from them


thanks for all the info guys!

ohh allso i have 19" chrome niche f-16's with toyos

 

ok just added 2 10" kicker l5's and a 600.1 amp with bass knob cant belive how loud it is !!but still need more where can i find a triple gauge pod that fits good and matches time for some gauges!!

 

They don't make a triple gauge pod for our cars. They do make a double though.

I have Autometer boost and fuel PSI gauges. Let me know if you need help picking out gauges.

 

hey thanks for that info i was thinking about doing boost and a/f ratio allthough i wanted to do a tranny temp too any other ideas maybe ill go with those dual gauges that monitor 2 things at once then i can do 4 tings total also....how does that pod line up and does it match good??? thanks again!!

 

It matches up great to my ebony interior. The fit is 97% perfect. You really can't tell it isn't OEM unless you look at it hard.

I wouldn't worry about a tranny temp gauge. Overheating isn't what breaks the transmission, its lack of fluid/lubrication that does. And you'd have to figure out what the optimal operating temperature is, which I have no idea.

If you go with the dual gauge setup I'd choose the Boost/Fuel psi for starters. And then pick up a wideband O2 to monitor your AFR. I recently purchased the AEM unit that includes the sensor and the guage for $405 shipped from www.rpmoutlet.com

Check it out here. It will fit in the gauge pod.

im ordering the double gauge pod and thinking about doing an autometer boost gauge and a/f ratio gauge in that double..... ps how accurate are our temp gauges ?? mine never moves once warm..

 

The temp gauge isn't really that accurate, like most OEM gauges. Although, monitoring water temperature isn't as important as monitoring boost, fuel pressure, or A/F. Also, with the autometer A/F gauge, it doesn't so the actual value, only the general range: (rich, stoich, lean). Also, you'll need a wideband controller in addtion to the autometer A/F gauge. I would reccomend the AEM unit for the lowest cost, most bang for the buck, A/F meter.
