i was wondering what mod is best to gain more torque on our vic...

last time i asked they said bigger TB. so start boreing lol =)

K&N typhoon intake
kamikaze header
aem power steering pulley
sun hyper voltage system
keep stock exhaust

i thought intakes typically lowered low end..... i know that a pully will certainly work

you change your a/f ratio to bump torque. i know an lsd distributes said torque evenly so that would help. its my fav mod :-) but usually anything that bumps hp bumps tq too.

yea i gained 2wtq across the rpm band after fuel tuning. Also intake gave 2-8wtq and only 1whp.

i was plannin on gettin a high output alternator, aem tru power pulley, and an optima battery to start...i heard that I/H/E doesnt give much power and its mostly for noise?

I agree with gearbox, defently keep stop exhaust! however it suffers in higher rpms and freeway driving. You can tell major differnce between the two there

whats the point of the high output alternator?

the alternator isnt gonna give you power at the wheels, maybe if u have 5 15" subs @ 1000 watts each you'll need that.

 
Rep Power: 313

he's prolly gonna get the higheroutput alt. so when he put the aem pulley on it and it slows it down, it's still does produces like a stock with a normal pulley or better

just curious has anyone actually ever wasted money to try and build an N/a powerhouse out of a d17?

i was plannin to get a high output alt. not for power. cause i read in one of the thread that the pulley makes the light dim...so just getting it to power the lights. just gettin it like what booba saying...

i think that would draw just as much as a stock alternator without a pulley.

 
Rep Power: 813

yea ho alternator will rob more hp from the engine.

hey gearbox just a few qucik questions does the kamakaze header give alot more hp or tq than say a hp racing header? and how much hp if any does the hyper ground system give ? also why didnt you recommend crank pulley

 
Rep Power: 813

crank pulley ruins motor. kamikaze I noticed more midrange than a generic ebay header. I believe it is equal length but I haven't measured the tubes yet. On an lx the kamikaze replaces the cat so thats even more gains. Just won't pass emissions. Hyper voltage system gives noticable improvement in throttle response. I took it off for a day and the car just didn't have the same pickup.

where can i get the hyper voltage system? and is it easy to install or is there a DIY thread here?

 
Rep Power: 813

hook one cable to positive battery terminal and the other to negative terminal. Two wires, thats it. i got mine from optauto.com and its the multirev MR version.

ok i plan to do an all motor d17 when my warranty runs out. i will tell you how it goes in a couple of years

Ok, great. I'll check back here in 2007.

wow thanks for that info, how does crank pulley ruin motor? what if its a balanced unorthodox?

wow that some good info gear!...so the only pulley worth gettin is the aem tru power pulley and that's it right? or is there other ones you recommend? i know i'm diffinitely not gettin a damn crank pulley.

 
Rep Power: 813

i wouldn't use the alternator pulley either, just aem power steering if you want to be safe. Replace stock crank pulley when you do timing belt cause it gets old too.

is dere a prob with the aem tru power pulley too? cause i wanted to get it because i saw some guy on hear sayin it help with the throttle response w/a 1-2 hp gain.

 
Rep Power: 813

my alternator died. the shop guy said the pulley was making it so the alt had to work non stop to keep charging the battery. So it died. The ps is a different system and pulley is okay for that.

damn i was gonna get a ho alternator i thought it would give power not take it, my friend put a gsr alternator on his b16 and he said it felt much better

just wondering gearbox, did you also get the hyper ground kit also? i was looking on that site where you said you got the voltage system and the description said that it's supposed to complement the hyper ground kit.

thanks

 
Rep Power: 813

well i have upgraded ground wires yes. just replaced the factory ones with 4 gauge wire. theres a diy somewhere i did. i'm actually thinking about getting a different intake again lol. the weapon r one. i have to change my post tho. keep the stock header unless you have the engine ported. otherwise the holes are the same size so it won't matter gettin a different one.
