Though I may be swimming up-stream here... Here goes anyway...
In my experience the best bang for your bucks performance gains on normally aspirated B-series powered vehicles is to do these three things first...
1) Fit a light weight flywheel & heavy duty clutch...
2) If you don't already have a DC2 type R gearbox... Get one... (Comes with LSD)*
3) Fit a lower final drive...
* If you already have a DC2R box...
Go one better and get a Cross type gear kit for it...
Though the total power output of the engine remains unchanged...
The usable power realised to the wheels is dramatically improved...
Engine braking is also improved... Engine reliability is not compromised.
Though it's not something you can really show your friends, apart from beating them in a drag race or around the circuit...
What's also a bonus using this as a starting point is when you do perform other engine mods later... They work better a hell of a lot better when combined with the above components...
That is... I/H/E, ECU, Cams, high comp etc...
Cheers
Btw: Great thread guys...
i got rechipped ecu combine with piggyback ECU for a fine tuning ( Dean - ART ) and the rest is bolt on mods.
my car only can rev till 8000rpm only, not bad for a 1.6 twin cam non vtec. with no internal mods. Im pretty much happy with it.
so is insuranceQuote:
