Your mods and gains

[GotToyota?]

I've been wanting to know about your guys' mods, and how they've improved both performance and gas mileage. I've been looking into getting 2.5" exhaust, intake, lightened flywheel, performance clutch, and coilovers. Tell me your mods and how they've improved your car compared to stock.

I have put Borla exhaust and Magnaflow Cat with a Pacesetter header.(2.5") Also I have put Shrick cams in and ported the intake. MHG and K&N. I am adding an electric fan that I got off my Dodge Caravan. It will wire into the temperature sending unit making it go on at 180F. Anything to keep it cool!! I recently bought ST springs and 17" rims with Eagle Pilots. Actually all the stuff I bought for this car was all off the Turbo Supra Guys....LOL Anyway compared to stock the engine is really sweet and Roars!! It handles like a dream. Last night I raced an Elipse and spanked him. I knew he had a turbo cause I could hear his wastegate scream. Still spanked him!! He rolls down his window and goes " does that have a turbo??" I said no and the guy looked dissed!! Ha Ha!!:biglaugh: LOL Long live NA's. We can go too you know!! Nice to see the enthusiasm.

Right now I just have a HKS Super Mega Flow filter. There was a nice increase in power above 4,000 rpm and gas mileage went up by a few miles per gallon.

just an intake before it blew at 148,488 mi.

my only real mod so far was putting a good engine in it since i bought it with a bad engine...so my gain was it ran? :icon_surp

5.Lower gear ratio what it is dont know the last owner put the gears in and all i know is that it has lower gears

Gears that are numerically lower means the car will have a higher top speed, but will accelerate slower than a car with numerically higher gearing the stock NA comes with 4.3 open diff, lsd if it has the sport package. The turbo cars come with either 3.9 in the 87-88 cars and 3.73 in the 89-92 cars. If he swapped out the diff for a numerically lower one it will result in slower acceleration, def not something you want in an na

All I have right now, is 2.5" custom exhaust, with 2 18" resonators. I don't like how much it vibrates inside, when I'm driving with the windows up. I think it's the damned muffler that' too noisy. I should change it.

Everything else is stock. I wanna do some BPU's to raise some HP...

[Fuzz420]

I have a k&n FIPK, and custom 2 3/4 in exhaust from the cat back, i have a "dollar store muffler"(3Aracing from autozone, $50 from a friend).Like mentioned the gains above 4000 are exponential. In closed loop the car has great throttle responce. Overall with these two mods, my gas milage has improved atleat 6mpg

 

[s383mmber1]

Are you in the wrong section?^^^

this is the non-turbo section...

[whudafux]

[Fuzz420]

Oh well in that case, i apologise then

 

[7M-GTE]

My mods are:
Greddy MHG with ARP bolts,Apex-I intake, removed baffle and put in aluminum straight pipe. I don't know the figures but there is better throttle response for sure. There is a drastic loss of power however when the wife is in the car as she does not like the sound when I floor it.
