hey all. so i purchased the lindsey racing instant horsepower kit and am satisfied with the results of those parts but now im craving something more. im not exactly rich or anything and am in college so i cant really afford anything major. but i was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for what i should do next. i was thinking about doing suspension but im not sure what i should get first.
if anyone can just point me in the right direction that would be great. i still drive the car everyday so i dont want to go too crazy just yet. eventually though i do want to go to the track with it.

join a club mark the calender get to a driving event .. you will then have better idea .. i would say the next power upgrade and most cost effective e 85 conversion wich is injectors chip etc

TheLlamaGod

what would the price be around for an e85 conversion? are there any downsides to doing it? i know theres a station pretty close to my house

Opps sorry I thought you had the bigger lindsey kit ..
sorry i really think the next step power wise is bigger exhaust
there is a good DIY thread posted on making your own and getting some one to weld it .
also they one pops up on here every couple of months for 500 or so ..
then i would say some kind of boost control/ waste gate upgrade like Lindsey dual port ..
then you can look at fueling up.. E85 is not worth doing unless you have good boost control to milk the octane from it.

I say exhaust as an exhaust always makes power and its heaps safer than winding the boost up.

TheLlamaGod

well the kit i bought has a 3.0 fpr, boost enhancer, chip set, and wastegate shimms. im running 14 psi
i didnt think exhaust was worth the money and wouldnt i need a new chip if i got a bigger exhaust?

I'd say get a test pipe. I might be a little off but I think it is around 80% of gain that a full exhaust would give but for as low as $150-200 used.

Rogue_Ant

Yep, exhaust or a test-pipe...

TheLlamaGod

with a test pipe would i not be able to pass smog?

Rogue_Ant

Correct.

ehall

I think what he was trying to say was no, most likely not.

TheLlamaGod

well i think i would like to still pass smog for now and maybe do some suspension since its all stock right now. what is something to do first. i noticed alot of people get koni yellows but idk if thats something to do first or if thats later on

Rogue_Ant

Well if your expecting to pass smog, then there is not an inexpensive exhaust option...

TheLlamaGod

does a test pipe weld in or is it something i can easily remove and put the stock stuff back on so i can pass smog

gt37vgt

you will pass smog with a 4" metal core cat but it does add $200 to the system

My bursch test pipe bolts in.
