How well will this go?

[hondavti25]

hey guys just wanna know how well this would go in my EJ8 full 2.5" exhuast with a high flow cat Skunk2 Intake manifold and a CAI with a K&N pod with it tuned with a Vafc
its something to go with while i wait for a turbo set up in the next year or so.

full sick, it would. you'll be almost as fast as me. check out my kill list below for proof!

on a side note, that's a stupid question with no answer. your car will go this |--------------| well .

[xtercii]

What do you mean by how well would it go? It’s like asking ppl how would I feel after eating a bowl of pho, how do you answer this…

[czy_sol87]

fish man is right though, how are ppl surpost to know how ur car is gonna run after these mods...
CAI is a good mod, and will increase response
so is the high flow cat...
2.5" exhaust is a little big for the d-series, might lose power, u said ur gonna go turbo...the 2.5" is ok for turbo, but u'll gain more with 3", up to u though
also the skunks2 IM, more air but no way to use it, ie cams
so all these mods might increase power, might not

k yeah sorry was just after really is it money well spent or not and the exhuast is 2 and 1/4 sorry its in atm i am getting a better quality when i go turbo so ill be 3 when i am turbo but yeah so you wouldnt get the SKunk2 until turbo?

i think you should just save all that money for a turbo kit.

all that gear thats "just to get you by.." would almost add up to a basic bolt on kit anyway.

well said jas...
leave it the way it is and save the money for ur turbo kit, theres no point spending $400 on a IM, CAI, VAFC and a tune when ur gonna turbo it within the next year
all these mods will add up to $1k or more...
with the turbo kit, ur gonna have to sell, most of the parts anyway, u cant use the CAI, exhaust, not recomended to use the VAFC for tunning of a turbo setup...

[fishman]

what did i say. agreed with everyone else here, don't bother wasting your money when you're gonna fully sick turbo it anyways.

You should spend that money on a nice set of 18" chromies. Then you're only a turbo away from subwoofer sick yo!

[bennjamin]

another honest opinon.
Your car is a SOHC 1.6 - nothing short of a turob kit will make any more power on it. The mods you listed will give a nicer and smoother feel to the car but thats it.

i reckon its a waste of money if your goner go turbo. you might need bigger piping, like 2.5inch if your turbo. not too sure. dont have much knowledge on turbo. anyway with that setup atm ull loose torque with 2 1/4 and if the cold air intake piping is too long ull again loose more torque.
just an axelback for now should be fine, then get the setup after u go turbo.
otherwise ur wasting your money, as the setup will be pretty costy

[hondavti25]

well atm i just have a pod on the end of wher my air box was and cat back installed with no cat so yeah ... and i havnt really felt a loose at all a couple mates think its a lil quicker nothing drematic but yeah just a couple comments

well could any one suggest NA mods that CAN be used in a turbo set up that will boost my preformance a lil just to have a lil more fun maybe a light wieght fly wheel ? or something?

[Dell99]

if ur going to go turbo and all. Y not just spend the money on getting better brakes first, won't make it go faster but surely its something that needs to be done later
