Guest piston cruisers Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 as the title says really i drive a man non turbo supra with a full xs power exhaust system and a hks induction kit, just seeing what the next step is with out thowing loads of cash at it really been looking at apexi neo or something like that, all ideas will be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I suddered at this initially..... There are plenty of threads (some in ended in tears).. An apexi neo won't make any difference personally to an NA. I ran a respectable (calced @ SSR) 221bhp which was about right for an NA. The AFR's were spot on and not many gains to be had unless you really throw money at it. No induction kit...again have a search An exhaust will certainly help, the branch manifold from Nic is popular as well, and releases a few horses. However keep your mind clear that there are not HUGE gains to be made without spending big money. *Will dig out dyno with real RWHP on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The HKS mushrooms are not well known for their filtering capability. Plenty of people use them but a lot of people wouldnt touch with a barge pole, me included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 As already said you'll not get big gains on an NA. I'd suggest: 1. Refit the stock airbox with either a stock or TRD panel filter, the stock airbox is not restrictive, provides much better filtering and includes 2 cool air feeds. The HKS mushroom sucks in hot air from the engine bay (loosing you power and response) and provides very poor filtering. 2. Fit a tubular exhaust manifold, this replaces the stock cast manifolds and the first cat, giving you better response and a slight power increase. http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/8473/p1030161sa4.jpg http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1831/p1030162uk1.jpg 3. Loose any unnecessary weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_stevo Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yeah I like them seats, where did you get them from mate and how much didi you pay for them covering? Seen the ebay ones but im still unsure whether they will look right? Also isnt that car an auto? saw it for sale for ages, was even interested in it myself but the auto part put me off.
