Post by Hobbsie »

my 95 GR's engine is totally stock .. want to add a little bit of power but cant afford anything too crazy.. what do you guys reckon is the best place to start? perhaps a pod filter and cold air intake? any other cheapish mods i can do?

Just be careful with $$$ though coz once you do the first four mods, then the exhaust, you may need to look at a piggyback ECU or your fuel might run a bit lean.

Have a search around the website and it'll give you heaps of ideas.

first replace all the basic stuff: fuel filter, change your oil to something good, gearbox service, sparkies and tappets - IMO

then
do the exhaust first. High flo cat and muffler

then
the intake - the pipe in particular as the stock one is sh*t. make sure u box up the pod.

then
then get an SAFC second hand and fit and tune (about 250 + fitting + tune)

then look at extractors if u like then maybe TB/Manifold upgrade

u can also get a FPR, and RPW manifold insulator gaskets, and play around with the mivec point if it makes any difference after all the other mods
