Thread: TVS swap?

i have about a 4g budget to play with come tax time, (for changing power adder, im going to do other mods earlier)
but for now, i want to get my car into the 5 second 0-60 class, with the v8 chargers, the 370z etc,
from what i udnerstand the cheapest way to do that would be headers, intake, e85 injectors and tune?
without the e85 that would still be 3.4 teritory right?

from what i understand when it comes to the 3.4 a good intake and headers (along with the plugs and tstat) is enough my first set of mods budget is about 600$

thats worth about 60hp right (with a 3.2)? These cars will run straight e85 without tuning the fuel tables? I thought the tables had to be changed.

So just drop in the e85 and go? 42lb injectors and just fill up with e85 and that's it?

Hmmm wasn't aware of that, so when you wanna put 93 back in you just go fill up when the 85 is gone?

Im guessing this mod would mean e85 only until, i got a tune for the injectors for pump gas

Wow. Was never aware of the simplicity. One more question though, what happens if you don't swap the injectors when going back to 93? Thanks for the info and sorry for thread jacking.

hmm 60hp should definitely get me into the upper 5 second range, how does this play with intercooling the engine?

Well its not my DD, so i could definitely make this work, add a cam and the intercooler, and evo watch out

Well mines my dd and it's only one station in the area. Hmmm. Seems like an easy power boost and just have to swap injectors when wanting to go back to 93
