because the car is so old, current horse power estimates will be useless. find yourself a dyno.

some other power mods are:

supercharger
turbo
MDX spacer and 4G IM
P2R TB spacer
3.6/3.7 build/swap
6-speed swap

if your looking for speed, weight reduction also plays a big role.

I read that the p2r throttle spacer reall dose not have much gains and not worth it.
will the mdx spacer work with tl-p

and what's you opinion on the mishimoto racing thermostat
guarantee to kick in at 60 dagrees C instead of oem 78 dagrees C

also what do you think about the

you're best off doing a 6spd and tl-s swap

do a build/swap and you'll have plenty of power you need... i've done almost all the bolt-ons possible with a TL-P and well.. imo, it got me nowhere.. lol

I am not trying to spend $$$$ doin a swap I just want to know what els can I do that won't cost to much all I wany is like 300-320 horse power

you could change out the intake manifold for a dual stage one from a type s motor and see some gains, but you're not gonna see that power from a TL-P without some serious money.

if you want 300 horse then youll have to get a tls engine swap, the tlp engine will never give u the desired horse

jjashaa

yea... thats not gonna happen.

You don't want to spend money on the swap, or you don't want to spend a lot of money to get to 300hp? Getting to 200 to the wheels takes a bit of money already, let alone 300+ on a tlp motor.

jocamel911

wait I read that
catback add about 25-30hp
D/C headers add another 25
and aemv2 adds 15 hp

so doin the math
225+25+25+15 = 290

so doin the math
225+25+25+15

jocamel911

so wouldent I get 300 if I add p2r T/B spacer
and if I add MDX I/M spacer??

jocamel911

plus I can pay for a port&polsih my I/M and I think that would add another 5-10 hp

LoL thats not the Way things works Dude.

Actual WHP and CHP are completely different things.
Besides Real Gains arent Equal in All Cars so Dont believe that Stated Gains over some Vendor web page means the real Deal in Your Car.

You Need a Dyno Run to come Back to the Real World..... If you are Hitting 210-220WHP with those Mods it would be Gigantic you could do so Much Better with a TL-S Swap even better a Build but Money is the Enemy Here.

I doubt you are even starting with 225 at the crank like I said in my first post, get it dynoed and see how much power the car has lost over the years.

jocamel911

crap I need a new car I guess what's the news best type s
where I can just add aem v2 headers catback

jocamel911

wait a tick, my engine is pretty new it has a rebuilt engine that's about 3 years old so I should have lost to much power...
