Where to start?
Thursday, July 07, 2005 12:04 AM
I drive an '01 Z24. I wanna start doing performance mods. I really want to work to boost the car. But i have no idea where to start. I'll be super grateful for any help. Thanks.

The FAQ is a good start.

First thing to know is that there is no chip or module that works for our car. Write that down in your head and stick it in front of everything else.

read the FAQ for some ideas. whats good whats not. do research before you buy something. like you dont want to buy a header when you are planning on turbo later on.

Agreed with the things above the FAQ is good.

If you want to turbo, ask yourself how soon, then start looking at things that you can use with the turbo. Look into pulleys, short shifter if manual or shiftplus if auto, Possibly into some gauges that would work well, wideband O2 is a good choice, egt, fuel pressure, oil pressure.

If you look in my profile it will give you a list of the bolt ons and maybe give you some ideas but for sure reading up will help you invest money wisely.

Very good tip. How soon do you want to turbo??? Couple months, well truely unless your made of money save it for the turbo kit.
Couple years do the basic intake, header, TB, pulley's etc... You can always sell a header, and intake.
