Guest van_damme_supra Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 so it's no good? what would be some good bolt on mods then? have exhaust, exhaust header (not yet, but on his way), intake (not that it's a hp mod but still..) and that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Performance in a 2JZ-GE is not huge unless you spend big big money, and if you're looking at a chinese manifold I'm assuming you don't want to spend big big money. Get the power:weight ratio improved, generally that's cheaper Weight Brakes Suspension/geometry Probably the cheapest ways to improve generally the performance of an NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest van_damme_supra Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 i was just watching what they have on ebay. but still won't pay 2000 for a manifold for an n/a though. weight reduction.. i'm not going to buy carbon fibre doors if that is what you meen and i'd like to leave my seats in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 All i had on my n/a was a full stainless exhaust system which was manifold decats, and cat back, and stripped the interior and that made a great difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripping everything out that you just don't need... then yes you need to spend to replace parts you do need (like doors) for lighter ones. Brakes if you are on the standard 2/1 pot config would be good to upgrade - either bigger calipers or better lines/fluid/pads at the least. Later you can brake, the deeper you can go etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest van_damme_supra Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 ok thanks guys looks like i know enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 ok thanks guys looks like i know enough Well if you're delaying going NA-T or NA-TT conversion, just think of what upgrades you can do now that'd still remain post conversion like suspension/brakes etc. No point modding the engine bay if it's bits that are going to come out when/if you convert.
