so yea my s13 is getting a new engine...still ka but it is high compression with sohc internals...2 ehaust cams(might upgrade to bc cams....should i) and everything else is stock..ratio is 11:4:1.......i want to get some bolt ons like headers intake and exhaust..for an intake i was thinking fujita or injen(help me pick) for headers i was thinking about obx or my friends used hotshot(help me pick) and for exhaust i was planning on buying the hks hi power....i dont want to worry about modding anything to fit.i wana be able to buy it and put it on the car..

i was also thinking about getting my ecu tuned by emanage..its 170 on ebay(should i do it or run stock ecu)

no need for a tuned ecu, just run an safc and call it a day. i vote for the hks hi power but just make sure you get it in 2.5" piping

SAFC, Hot Shot Headers, Apexi N1 Dual exhaust, and whatever intake you like ( most are the same).

the hotshot headers and n1 dual combo sounds awesome!!!

for the intake relocate your battery and run a short bend of piping to place the filter where teh battery used to be

I would think a good tune would be the best mod that you could do...but that's just me.

imo a tne on an NA is a waste if all you have is bolt ons and cams. an expensive tune won't be worth it over an safc

Go with a batery relocate and keep the intake on the cold side of the engine bay!! then spend the extra money not spent on a CIA for a good qualty air filter! NO CHEAP APC PAPER CONE! 2.5" HKS sounds good for the N/A exhaust .

Probably about three hours if you take I4 to I75 south.
