an intake system adds about 5-10 hp on an other wise stock engine unless the filter was so clogged the engine would barely run

What can i say im an ******* , jeez man dont get ur panties all in a bunch im sure an intake made some difference and like i said the exhaust will definetly make a difference. You'll go faster but down the road i just think you would have been happier with an 8er. Hey maybe not, maybe youll love what your doing and if so good 4 you. Im just goin off of what i would think everybodys different. Im sorry 4 commin off as an ******* that was not my intent.

meh its alright. Im just sick of getting **** for my 6, which is one of the main reason im modding out mine to make it faster, so itll be a respectable 6. Ive lost ONE race in my car even before the intake, beating modded imprezas AWD, modded integras and what not. So according to everyone else around here,im pretty fast,so why not just make myself faster? On a different note, i got this car just under 9 months ago for my 16th birthday, its in immaculant (sp?) condition with low miles and ive yet to have a problem with it. Itd be smarter just to add bolt on mods to get a little more power and keep it until im 18 and sell it and get my Camaro LS1 like ive always wanted.

I plan on supercharging/turbocharging mine in the future.... Everybody has different goals. And engine building is for everyone...

archemedes

my car is already supercharged

yeah but it's only a V6

archemedes

but still should run a good time at teh track (if I ever get around to taking it)

camaro94

and I already have one that's turbocharged.

Engine building is for everyone...true...to an extent. Its really not too difficult you are right. Pretty much anybody who wants to learn how can do it. Doing it right is a whole other matter. WHATS THE FIRING ORDER ON YOUR 6ER!!!!! lol no lookin it up now, lets start with the basics

archemedes

why not look it up, memorizing the firing order isn't that important, basics what is, and how do you use plastigauge

JesasaurusRex

lol how dare you. You take a piece. Put it onto your main or rod bearing torque it down un torque it take the piece out and match it up to the little supplied clearance ruler to tell the clearance. Any other BASIC questions

JesasaurusRex

Also memorizing your firing order is important because the first time i put headers on (LONG LONG time ago, same car tho, yes i love her) i took all the spark plug boots off. And just put them back on by length because i didnt know that it was important for them to be matched up. I had no idea how a distributor worked (i know she doesnt have to worry about that but still) and luckily enough i got all the right spark plug wires on but 2. Then i was like **** she seems slower and sounds shitty (guess thats how headers make it sound ) anywayz posted it on thirdgen.org and got flamed for not knowing it mattered which way you put the plug wires on in relation to the distributor. Fixed it, hauled ***. It is important and in my book is basic. If not in urs whats basic? Knowing how to change your oil?

archemedes

knowing where the service manual is, what's the torque sequence for the cast intake (yes it's different than the aluminum) what I'm saying is don't worry about memorizing know how to get the info first
