5k to spend on a 96 VTI-R

[tegsta]

whats the best bang for your buck mods ?

More than anything I want to increase low end torque if possible

the tegra is stock

thanks

oh and allmtr no FI thanks

slap on some dragon stickers and get some chromed rims :P j/k

Well 5K is alot to spend.....

get a full exhaust (headers, hi-flow, catback etc)
air filter
cai

these basic mods should help you car breathe better!! they aren't really the power mods for you to gain big HP!

for low end torque get some 4-2-1 headers

the 4-1 headers will give you more power higher up but you will lose a little lower in the rpm range (not what you wanted)

Seeing as you don't want to go FI, perhapse after the I/H/E you could get an after market ecu (hondata ?) and get it dyno tuned. i'm not sure how much better this will make it run, anyone have personal experience with this ?

also you could put some nice light rims on it (spoon, mugen, etc, etc) and maybe do some suspension work and that will probably be all your money gone

Light weight good quality flywheel
Proper exhaust
Header - something half decent
ECU
Some mild cams..

Prolly be a bit more than 5k including labour..

i/h/e, lightweight flywheel, hd clutch, aftermarket ecu, maybe some cams... have them all tuned properly and you have a bit more power

Sell the car and get a better one with the proceeds

I kid you not :P

fly wheel is good. there are a couple of pairs of toda cams for sale floating around in the marketplace. you'd have to ask the toda man if these would give you more low end torque, they may be tunes more for the high end. i have no idea.

you probably don't need the clutch unless you are doing any launches.
if you are... well, i think you may as well wait until your stock one dies before you replace it (personal opinion)

my bad, whenever i read VTi-R i assume civic.
Neverless, what i said before stands, nothing like a forced b18c. Save another grand of so and see what the tuning shops can put together.
