I appreciate the reply's from the people that actually know WTF they are talking about, but Rice is all looks and no performance as far as I know. And the car has good performance. Just cause it has a body kit, which looks mostly JDM you call it a bit ricy? LoL... Aight then. If you say so pro.
yesh, regulator, sorry. useless mod really... no need to raise fuel pressure. should be around 42 psi though, not 5.
Had to do some minor shit on the car, like change out the tie rod ends on both side. Got rid of alot of unnecessary roughness... Changed the oil yet again within the first 30 days of me having this thing and the oil was black again. Used same filter, switched to 10-40w just to see how it runs. Got rid of the noisy lifter on cylinder 3 with last oil change. Oil after 1 week on 2nd change is nearing black again only after having drove it maybe 200 miles. Going to change to 5-30w in a couple more days...
Now that the engine is running smooth and I'm not getting heavy exhaust smells in the cabin, or smoke out the tail pipe... I'm looking to put performance parts on.
As I mentioned the cam gears are rusted and they'll be first to come out. I'm having a hard time figuring out which set of cam gears to buy. I can get a set of Vision Cam Gears for 60$ locally, or a set of Skunk 2 Cam Gears for 150$ locally. Recommendation there? Vision cam gears are used, but show no signs of wear/tear. Skunk2's are new in box.
Also, a gentleman is selling a jdm b16 port and polished heads (Top side of b16 engine) with a skunk 2 manifold for 350$, is that a good buy?
I have a pro mechanic thats working with me on this because I dont know how to put shit on, but at the end of the day we'll take the car to get it fine tuned, but for now I'd like the input here on where to go / maybe how to go about getting it tuned for a turbo in the outcome. With the parts mentioned above being what I think needs to come out/ be changed first. So... help a nygga out.
Thanks in advance
so you changed or didnt change the oil filter the first time
