Tim going to skunk 2 the shit out of the car and run low to high 12's..then turbo =)

Not only only do you think you'll run 12's with nothing but bolt on skunk2 parts but you're also going to waste money on parts that were meant for an all motor build then go turbo? :disgust1: I guess... it's your money...

 

[Rjs4490]

lol...my bad...meant to state that ill run high 12 with a skunk 2ed motor....then if i decide to go turbbo who knows what ill run...i wouldent skunk 2 the motor if i went that route

 

[Matts96HB]

What exactly do you mean by "skunk 2"ing the engine?

 

[Rjs4490]

skunk 2 cams....cam gears...cam seals...fuel rail...intake mani and throttle body....headers...coilovers..retainers..springs...forged valves...all by skunk2 brand

skunk 2 cams....cam gears...cam seals...fuel rail...intake mani and throttle body....headers...coil-overs..retainers..springs...forged valves...all by skunk2 brand

There is only one cam seal and only one header.

A S2 cam seal will do nothing for you. It's a seal. Unless the stock one is leaking, there is no reason to replace it.

S2 cam gears will do nothing unless you have plans on advancing or retarding the timing.

A S2 fuel rail isn't necessary. The stock one will handle your needs, especially while you're NA.

And I hope you know coil-overs aren't an engine part.

Sounds like you should read up on how to go about building an engine before you just bling out your engine compartment with unnecessary spending.

How did you come to the conclusion that these parts will put you anywhere near 12's? I really want to know. Not because i'm trying to talk shit but because i really wanna know how these theories come about so we don't have a ton of misinformed people out there...

 

[Dark93DX]

^^^^ was wondering the same thing.

It ran 13.9 as is and some how throwing a few Skunk2 parts at it will get you into low 12's?

 

[Rjs4490]

well i guess im an idiot lol...maybe i wont "skunk 2" anything but coilovers ...but showing what i have already done...what should be my next step????

 

[klyph]

what should be my next step????

Set a realistic goal and work toward achieving it within a budget.

 

[Rjs4490]

but what should i do to the car next??

 

[95b16coupe]

but what should i do to the car next??

upgrade the suspension, brakes, and tires.

as it sits now, you probably don't drive good enough to push that car to the limits. practice driving techniques before you start screaming MOAR POWAH!!!!

 

[xj0hnx]

but what should i do to the car next??

Suspension, and brakes. Driving a car with a powerful engine that handles like a wet sponge sucks. I wouldn't put a dime into the motor until the car can handle more power, and stop well.

I trust pictures far from speculation. pics and receipts are always good.

 

[bluejcivic]
