    ive been thinking that when i change my engine while its pulled a part what are some cheap mods i can do while the engine is out?

    like shave the head to the max

    an if i put vs calais series 2 injectors in will it make much difference
    an just little things like that will it make a noticeable change in the way it goes??

    big bore throttle body dont know how much that is
    cold air intake
    extractors
    2 1/2 exhaust
    larger pistons need rebore for that one tho probbably cost heaps

    depends what you call cheap and how far you intend to go
    three thing in life are guaranteed
    taxes
    death
    and car repairs

    Get a decent cam and chip and the other stuff mentioned above. Don't shave the head, Just get it reco'd and clean the Injectors. With the money you spend you could have a stock turbo and it'll be quicker than your worked N/A. It cost huge $$$ to build a n/a into something worthwhile. Just a thought!

    yea extractors and a 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust no cat an single straight thru muffler wer ment to of been going on this weekend but because i blew the motor up it was no go... and cold air intake is on its way

    plus i have a ecotec motor sitting in the shed doing nothing i though if i could ill rip parts off that to put on mine

    how much does cam an shit cost i dont wanna spend mega bucks because i give it a hiding an i doubt if the car will last me much longa i just thought if i could get bits off the ecotec that will make a difference that would be cool because it wont cost me ne thing


    an i dont want any thing with mega hp because ill end up killing my self id just like some thing to do stompa burnouts

    Well ig uess they are there to be drivin, but to a certain extent, I believe that yea we have certain duty to these vehicles, to clean them out regulary, give em a flogging, but then there is TLC, and that is needed, big time, got to look after them, I feel you look after them theyll pay u back......

    take care of the pride, so as to have joy, hence

    PRIDE and JOY

    Unfortunatly, the words " cheap ', and "mods " dont go well together. They are normaly not found in the same sentance too. Unless ur serious about the hunt for grunt, like compression, cam, or forced induction, all the other little bits and peices will be a waste of time.

    Things like K&N, CAI etc, will help ur fuel economy and slightly improve ur throttle responce. It's going to take more than that to saticfy ur desires by the sounds of it!

    Good Luck which ever way u go !!!
