i decide i am going to go all engine in my car such i dont know a thing about superchargers and turbos. these are the mods i am planning on doing.
1. 33# injectors
2. K&N intake or weapon R (i dont know which one i like better)
3. JBP Vortex T304 Stainless 4-1 Header
4. 3" straight pipe
5. ZZ Performance Throttlebody adapter plate idk if should get and LSJ one OR LS4 what do you guys think about it?
6. Clutch Kits

so i waz wondering after i do all of this would i need to get it tuned?
and maybe later after i learn more about SC/TC ill go SC
do you guys have any advise i could use?

 

you need a tune

 

Supercharging or turboing a car is really simple to do, but if your really not comfortable with it stat na. Maybe even run you some nitrous that would make it a lot funnier.

 

umm ya dnt need a 3 inch exhuast, unless u want to be heard a mile away. and ur mod list well could use some work, idk wht ur plans are but IMO u should do alot more research. cuase it seems like ur interested in modifying but ya dont quite kno wht ur doing yet. no disrespect, we've all been there, but before u go blowing money spend the time reading and do it right.

 

okay thanks you guys. so what do you guys think of my build? any advise on what i should put on or scrap? i plan to do some of these mods 4 months from now.and i really want to go supercharged but i just dont know anything about thats. lol

 

Its not "simple" to do. there are always complications and problems. nothing is easy, especially on a money pits "cars"

 

none taken man i am farly new to mods. like ino i want to at least a CAi and headers. so what would you suggest?

 

If you wanna go supercharged then dont even bother with the injectors or the intake..

 

umm well how i look at a build is, What do u want as a final outcome? What is going to make u happy everytime u get in the driver seat, What is gonna make u feel good everytime u look at ur car?

If ya buy a CAI and u want to go turbo... now u cant use that CAI u just bought for 200 bucks... or that header u just spent 300 or more on... or u go supercharged.. and IMO cooling mods are thee most important and they come first, others will tell u no. well iv been down that road and i broken and melted just about everything in these motors. Heat is thee enemy. But if i were u id spend sometime and really think what it is u want to do. Look at other peoples work and take there ideas and change them and make them ur own. just like i did, mine is very different and all custom and rare. luckly for u, there is an entire list of **** to do to these cars now, and all the fails and all the success stories to go by and learn from. ya need help i can guide u but remember "It Pays to Play"

 

um im sorry what iz IMO?
and okay i dont want to go turbo because i dont want to send my enigine sky high so thats out of my mind.
and i thought on a supercharger you can add a CAi and headers. and i was wanting around 300whp 100 400whp. but i waz told i need to go turbo for anything above 350ish

 

IMO = in my opinion.

To get 400whp, yes, you need a turbo.

 

IMO = In my opinion ... welcome to the internet

 

i agree with you too i hate seeing my car hit 180 in the temperature gauge. a mechanic told me itz normal but i hate it.lol
and takes all.lol i have been in the internet but thats a new one for me lol.
so to answer my question can i use the CAI and headers on a supercharger?

 

Normal operating temp is around 189.

You can use a header on a supercharged motor, but you can't use a CAI made for the 2.4 if you go supercharged if I recall correctly. I think the inlet gets flipped to the other side of the car.

 

If u can get the zzp SC kit u can get a intake. If u piece it together u can put a CAI cause I have one. I'm supercharged. And I love it! Right now I'm running 2 psi and I think the blower is bad. But even with that its still quick. U can put everything on ur 2.4 just like they said do research. But to me it was worth it.

 

If you keep the boost low, its very dependable with a good tune man. And you are not going to get 300whp with bolt ons. Not gonna happen.

 

I agree ^^^^ with bolts ons and stage 2 good tune I see 240-260. That's solid if u want a quick car.

 

okay thanks. like i said i would like 300whp.lol but if not possible then 260 iz fine too.lol
Manny how much WHP do you have? and what kind of fuel would i need
92?

 

Lose that jbp header.

 

I'm gonna dyno around the end of the month so can't say. Also gonna get 3"header exhaust from zzp so I will be around the numbers I said. I use 91 right u don't have to go up til u go stage 2. I'm in Denver so it's different. Look on zzperformance.com look at their kits alot of questions are answered on their website. Also u can email them their knowledge. Is amazing.

 

oh okay How come? if you dont mind asking. what wrong with them? and what iz better?


and manny45 thanks for that.lol

 

no problem also to clarify... if u piece ur supercharger together and dont get a kit for it... u will have to get the 2.0 LSJ CAI cause it does get flipped. If u get the zzp kit it says on their website that it wont be a issue.

im also wondering why he is saying to lose the header... There shouldnt be a issue....

 

Im just saying to lose the JBP. Go with one of zzp headers. I tried to get the JBP noodle header to fit on my car and it was beyond a headache and once it was all torqued down it caused the coolant crossover pipe to leak. Not to mention with that particular header its well known that it pretty much just changes the sound and doesnt add too much power. Especially in supercharged applications. If your on a budget go with the badmab header. if you can afford more go with the zzp longtube,

 

Lol nothing is easy everyone makes is sound like it's so hard and it only takes a pro to do it. I guess it might be simple for some and most just think it's the end if the world to change there plugs lol. Guess we should say don't ever work on your own car only let the guy with a piece a paper work on your car. But to the one with the thread just make sure you do some looking around and find the answers you need.

 

it is a pain especially if u are piecing it together... but like u said just look for the answers and get everything u checked off before u start and find a person who can tune ur car...if u dont want the hassle of piecing ur car get the kit... but if u really want to do this no matter of how much the pain u will reap the benefits.
