+1 for leaving shit alone when it already works fine. You could make good power with the cams and Link then you could save that 300 bucks for something worthwhile. Cam gears, retainers, springs, and valves aren't going to add much if any power. If the head is functioning just fine, leave it on and just toss in the cams. ESchwanz, you're on the right track now! |
Re: scheides old 2G
Wow, I wasn't by any means saying a built head is going to add power... First of all I didn't know it had a 1g head on it let alone a 6 bolt block.
I guess it is a difference of opinions, I just rather spend money on that head and wait a few months to save up for the link. Sooner or later you are going to want to rev it out to 8500+ rpms and you could easily do that with the head listed above. I mean honestly is Link going to add THAT much POWER over a SAFC, probably not a whole lot... |

Like everyone else said. I personally would get Link right away. It's a great investment. If you've never used it, you have no idea what you're missing out on. After link I'd look at saving up some money and finding a set of decent used cams. I personally would not downgrade your injectors. I'd keep the ones you have, or go larger in case you ever want to go E85. |
Re: scheides old 2G
Nice !! So glad I picked up that ECU... its already socketed & ready for DSM/ECM Link Hmm . I wanna order it today.... maybe... gotta check the bank account.
|
Re: scheides old 2G
Do it!
Then if that head is still around a few weeks from now pick it up, then sell your current head for a couple hundred and its basically like getting used HKS cams for 400. |
Re: scheides old 2G

Re: scheides old 2G
I'd recommend having the exhaust cut and weld in a resonator or muffler, maybe where the test pipe goes. I never touched the exhaust on that car except to take off this:

Re: scheides old 2G
A cut-out? Those things suck IMHO. Just get a nice resonator in there; it will make more difference than you think. Could also swich to a different muffler in back too, just did that on my Evo.

Re: scheides old 2G
time for hood pins, I like BC cams i got the 272s and ive seen them make pretty good power. Anything is better then Web 272 cams which was my previous cams
|
Re: scheides old 2G
Wow, I've never seen a hood latch support fail like that unless there was extreme corrosion, or the car was in an accident. That doesn't seem to be the case with your car though... Weird.

Re: scheides old 2G

Laundry list Inner tie rod Exhaust studs.. one is broken off Turbo bolts... one is broken off Timing belt.. small chunk in the belt Cams.. just want some FP or HKS 272 New Magnaflow muffler so I don't need a silencer .. thinking 3 in to duel 2 1/2 -- http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...e=main&id=8139 or http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...e=main&id=8081 Dang.. more money bleeding from the car... woot woot DSM! |
