How to gain more torque, without spending shitloads?

[dslt]

Hey guys, just wondering what mods do i have to do to my jdc2r to gain more torque?

cheers =)

With good I/H/E and well tuned ECU you'll get the best out of the internally stock engine and gain some torque, but to get significant increases then it starts to get expensive ie. stroke, cams, forced induction, do you have a budget to work with?

Perhaps try a lower final drive...

JUN stroker kit. Very expensive though. ~ 10K.

Final drive, clutch and fly will free some up at the wheels along with a little better response. Final drive is best bang for buck, it doesn't actually increase torque at the fly but multiplies it. You will be revving higher and spending more on fuel but that oh so torquey midrange feeling is great.

You won't gain torque but your car will feel more responsive when you reduce the weight of the car.

Alternatively, if you've got a couple of grand to spend, a turbo kit will be the best bet to increase torque.

serious increases in torque cannot be had without either turbo or increase in displacement.

Like wanting more "hp/kw" - why does the thread starter want more torque ? Where ? all thru teh rev range or just at VTEC or where ?

Without spending heaps , the best way to make your car be quicker (IE more pep) is to remove weight from the static and dynamic parts. IE interior , smaller/lighter wheels/flywheel etc. This will make the car "quicker"

You want power for cheap

i wouldn't call it cheap in the long run unless you have some secret numbers people don't know (since you need a dyno and/or tuner) but getting cam gears for their measly price and SAFELY increasing overlap will give you torque and adjust to the rev range you want it at too...

Yeah, i know, i'm only half serious...
But when people talk bout getting power for cheap, there is always going to be a compromise, if you are chasing power, your budget will always go out the door in the end!!
