What else can i do besides i/h/e that will boost my power and wont be too too costly, any help is appreciated.

 

new pullies...

definitely pullies. Helps the low end torque so you'll have power from low to high.

 

i heard that pullies arent really worth it, what do you think? im hoping that with a cold air intake, headers, and cat back exhaust, and maybe pullies, i would be able to keep up with a type s

 

oh ok, so pullies it is, should i get the pulley set which comes with 3 pullies, and with the CAI, headers, cat back, and pullies, would i hang with a type s?

 

what else could i do?

 

they say the only pully that really makes a difference is the crank pulley so try to read up ont that.

you can also bore out the throttle body for less than $200 im sure. but you'll have some downtime with the car while that gets done.

 

what about getting a tl type s or cl type s throttle body, which one would work, and with all this will i be able to take a tl type s?

 

From my experience, the most fun comes from changing the suspension. Springs, sways, shocks + strut bars, should give you more bang per buck than intake, headers, catback + pulleys. There's no point of going fast if your car handles like a boat.

 

Perhaps a STOCK one. Keep in mind, most members here mod their cars as well. If you ever ran across a TL that wanted to "run"....chances are they're not stock.

 

well i plan to do skunk2 coiloovers with kyb gas shocks, and sway bars, but i wanna get the performance part down too.

 

Well yea i figured that, just trying to make up for the power between a tl-p, and a tl-s, wanted the s but couldnt afford one, so with i/h/e, pullies, and type s throttle body, hopefully the difference wont be as large.

 

Pulleys definitely make a nice gain in power, especially near redline.

As for the throttle body, I don't know how much you'll really get out of it with out a port matched intake manifold.

 

oh, i dunno if i wanna go that far, i wanna do stuff i could do myself, but if just puttin a type s throttle body on will help ill do it.

Any other mods? i just got my tax check and i have money to fool around with

 

mrsteve, what setup do you have? i see u rana 14.1 very respectable

 

I will be installing my TypeS throttle body very soon. If I can get time, I'll have it dynoed (before/after) Next for me:

TypeS CAI to replace my TLP CAI
MDX intake manifold (jury still out as to whether or not it will work)
TypeS cams
Dyno tune my VAFC

 

ok cool let me know how it goes

 

drive with race gas!

 

 

Yeah and use octane booster.

 

i was kidding, too pricey for daily driving.....

 

Not to mention it wouldn't help performance at all.

 

i thought an higher octane gas should provide better results compared to to pump gas?

 

Unfortunately you thought wrong.

Unless forced induction is added or ignition timing is significantly advanced the only fuel you'll need is what is required by the manufacturer.

 

I also looking for my next performance mod for my TL-S.

Currently have Comptech headers, Icebox, springs, sways, Unichip, UR crank pulley, Michelin Pilots Sport A/S tires, & Mugen cooling mods.


Options out of price range are Supercharger & Turbo. NOS & aftermarket wheels not a consideration.

 

how about strapping like 400 horses to the front evnd of the car and poking at them with needles and making them go fast. and then get a boom box with wroom wroom sounds

ahh neways, i think ur next viable option would be pullies.

 

Full catback exhaust, King Motorsports throttle body (with port matched intake manifold), polished injector bases.

After that you are pretty much done. Although I don't know how much all the port and polished work will cost... you'll need another UniChip tune after that work is performed too.

 

so basically the line up is intake headers exhaust pullies, chip, which i cant find, and throttle body?

 

The UniChip isn't available for the TL-P, yet

 

yes pretty much for the most of us...

 

Already have the King Motorsports throttle body. Forgot to mention that one on my list.

Have not done the port matching on the manifold yet. I may do the B-pipe with the stock mufflers as my next mod.

 

Any gains from the new TB?

 

Nos!!!!

 

To tell you the truth, I could not tell any difference after I had the throttle body bored out.

I could tell a difference with the UR crank pulley, but I really don't think the larger throttle body gave me any gains. At most 1-2 whp. Not really worth the $150, IMHO.



I would not consider NOS as I plan on keeping my car for a few more years and don't want to damage the engine. Don't think NOS is very practical for daily driving.
