Cool Acceleration Mods

My mission is to increase acceleration, not top speed, only acceleration
I am building up a list of mods so far, and keep finding new ones. So if you have any more suggestions to add to this (dont repeat ones already there) please feel free


1. SR Intake & hood duct (already done, xcept for hood duct)
2. Pully
3. Engine Damper
4. Fuel Pressure Regulator
5. Throttle Body
6. Intake Manifold
7. Piggy Back


anything else you can think of?

the ones i have are pretty nice. they look new and came with the car. I dont really spin out at all when i slam the gas.

Rear ones look a bit worn though (excellent for drifting )

Limited Slip Differential. Puts the power to the road, but expensive

lol i know. i dont "drift" as such. every now and again in the rain i will take a corner at speed, and kind of drift it, but only when theres no one around, im not too dumb. (i drove on ice for the last year in montana, so dont worry i know how to handle my car)


as for the LSD, i saw RRM had one, for almost a grand, might be pushing it. lol.

Its just one more thing to add to the list. Watch out about the drifting comments you will definately get "e-slapped" because you can't really drift FWD cars.

light weight flywheel will help acceleration... as will as any power mod... like header, exhuast etc.

thats not for an auto though is it?


and i read a new header and exhaust will take away from acceleration because you loose backpressure. that correct?

LancerOZ Boy- I beg to differ. NA can make power but you have to know what you're doing; no one has a "kit" of stuff for us NAers to just slap onto our cars.

Crypto: acceleration from where? Are you revving first? I'm a big fan of torque and I love my RPW cam but you have to take time to work on your fuel management in order to get the most out of it- if you don't take the time to do it right, then you lose your power below 3K RPM. Stage 1 cam is a pretty safe bet while still giving nice gains. Adjustable cam gear will help your timing- you can "move" the power up and down the powerband. But them you want an exhaust gas temp sensor (stick to 800C or below) to go with your Air/Fuel ratio meter (12.7:1 for maximum power). I highly recommend the Zeitronix unit from RRM or zeitronix.com.
Exhaust will liekly hurt your torque until you have opened your intake side and worked on that fuel management.
You can do whatever you want, but keep in mind there are only a few money saving shortcuts: fabricate as much as you can yourself, have the fabrication done locally (my bored out TB only cost $125) and do the install yourself.

1. SR Intake & hood duct (already done, xcept for hood duct)
2. Pully
3. 21/4" exhaust hi flow cat
4. 4-1 race design mandrel bent headers (RPW)

5. Fuel Pressure Regulator
6. Throttle Body - 60mm
7. Intake Manifold - 4G93 get port matched
8. Piggy Back - Greddy E manage
9. stage 1 cam & adjustable cam gear(RPW)
10. KYB adjustable shocks
11. front strut tower
12. rear sway bar
13. anti lift kit
14. new clutch


100. Engine Damper ?


anything else you can think of?
have slightly modified your list in order as to which mods should go next... hope you don't mind have bumped up the exhaust seeing as you have done the intake mainly for the reason that you are adding air into the car at a faster rate now you need it to exit the car at a faster rate this mod alone will make the car more throttle responsive and add valuable torque to the car... also any mods that you do from here on you will not see much gain because you have not been able to get rid of the exhaust gases - get yourself a new set of headers and exhaust this will be the best bang for bucks
