What about.....?

[240crawler]

Okay, I just received notice that I am eligible to work Federal DOT with a drug charge in my background. I got a company in Memphis to hire me (I lied more than I ever thought possible) and will make $6200 after tax on a 56 day trip. After the second trip, I want to start modding my 91 coupe. 347 can go in my friend's hatch, he will sell for $250 with locked up engine maybe crank bearing. Tell me if these mods will work together for a daily driver, but still put out decent ***-pull.

Now for the suspension, I think I really need help. I would like to do a complete transplant as my subframe is effed up. Maybe a Z32 or Q45? I have as much knowledge on this as I have on Martian whores.

I definately want to be 1.5 to 2 inches lower, and 10 times more resistant to roll.

what happened to your subframe?

if its a daily driver, it has to pass esmissions, so how are yo ugetting away with no cat?

i want pics of the motor youre building pls.

Its not a bad idea to pay a couple bucks for an Ebay CAI, use the tube, and put a good filter on it. The Ebay filters just seem risky to me - can't help but think they would either not flow well or be so flimsy they aren't going to fully protect your engine.

There is really no need for a Z32 MAF if you aren't making too much power for the MAF on your car right now. You will not get any gains from that.

For a header, I haven't heard much about the one Megan makes. A lot run Hotshot, and a lot run DC Sports (including myself), so go for whatever makes you happy.

I had that Venom PCM, and it did nothing. I think with any of those "performance control modules" they are 99.9% hype.

Like d!ck said, you probably won't pass emissions without a cat. Maybe just go with a high flow so you can get by, or just run a cat until you are done with emissions, then replace it with a test pipe. 2.75" piping is popular, as is 2.25 and 2.5". There was a dyno sheet going around recently on Fresh Alloy that showed someone who got something around 16hp from 3" though.

If you just want to be lower, get some springs and shocks. If you want performance, go with a good set of coilovers. I really don't know much when it comes to suspension either, so they are the best suggestions I can give to you, lol.

those ebay filters are mid grade quality, one of my honda friends got one and it was pre oiled and everything and it was mid grade but.. it lacked a really good filter element( filters the incoming air for pollutions) .. just used the pipe though and make sure you buy a bypass valve just in case the filter get clogged up.. the subframe would be kinda hard, just swap it out with a salvage 240.. no use in doing all that hard work for a little bit of traction if your only putting down 160hp max.. average stock 240s are dynoed at 139 hp and a little more torque.

I had a small drift accident, and lower A-arm and subframe got bent. I am able to drive the car now, but my right rear wheel has about 1 degree positive camber now instead of -2.5. I want to replace the entire subframe so that when I buy the hatch, I will know exactly how to get much better traction. I do not have emissions in TN, we really don't even have a muffler law. I also do not have a digital camera to take pics of my roller, but if I did, I would get them and the S15 that everyone wants to see. If someone lives close to me, I will let them take pictures all day long.

I think an ebay tube with a HKS mega flow would look cool and filter well. I saw an ad for Mega Flow filter for like 39.99 somewhere. As far as the Z32 MAF, I want to buid my NA motor a little, but maybe change cams later for more yank. I do not want to say "what if". I want to know I have the best possible component in each location (keeping in mind some sort of budget-my last name is not Gates). For my header, I will buy whatever is cheapest besides Pacesetter. I already had a Pacesetter, but did not install as directed by the people on this board. Thank you for input on the Venom module, I had heard that they were bogus, but needed another source. Coilovers are an option, but a spring/shock kit would be cheaper. I am not looking for JGTC handling, just an improved stance and less roll.

this cheap HKS you speak of....

for either 20 or 25 you get an equally good knock off APC mushroom filter... actually a GReddy Airinx knock-off, but who is paying attention anyway... and this little doosey is available at your local checker/schucks/kragen

I do not have any of those stores around here. Will Autozone have a good cheap filter, and is the quality as high as HKS?

[DjPantsSpecR]

lol, no prolly not, and to be fair i never said it was anywhere near the quality of HKS

however, i remember about two years ago they tested K&N, HKS, GReddy, APEXi, Blitz, Akimoto, and something else. Without some sort of verification or website to back that up i guess this is all not credible, but they tested how much dirt got through and how much power was made

HKS was crap, so was GReddy and Blitz. They all let in a gang of dirt, all except APEXi and K&N. What is also interesting to note is that these two made more power than the ones that flowed enough to let in a bunch of dirt.

APEXi is hands down the cleanest and free-est flowing, K&N is number 2

who knows where apc fits in here, but hey it was 25 bucks, is always in stock, and prolly lets in the same amount of dirt and makes the same amount of power as the HKS, or the GReddy mushroom filters

You can even buy just the cage, or just the filter, or just the nut that goes in the middle and says HKS for cheaper than it costs to buy one, and HKS sells them

lets see, you really dont need a z32 maf. the only point in putting one in is that the stock maf cant read the amount of air need to supply upwards of 250-300hp. putting one on youre n/a ka will do nothing more than require money and labor. as far as the header goes, id go with hotshot. i have a pacesetter for a dohc if you want to buy it, but like all of them the enamel coating has burnt off. let me know through email, id let it go for like $75 or something.

Sorry for long time in between, but I got off the boat at Memphis to come home for 2 days and i had to check this site. First purchases will be a clutch kit maybe flywheel to be changed at the same time, and new A-arm. I do not know if the machine shop got my A-arm perfect, so I may order a brand new one from a dealer when I get back. Car drives good, but when you turn left and load up the right side, it feels funny and starts to slide. I will be online more when I return, and I will need more of the good advice that I have found here.
