I only have about 3k. Passing smog is a HUGE deal, since I live in CA. Wanted to supercharge but for 3k, can't find any way to do it. So, looking for some recommendations. Already have an Airraid MIT, and flowmaster. The flowmaster muffler is going to be replaced with a 3in, custom mandrel bent magnalfow, so that will flow enough for whatever mods.

 

The party line...
- Stall: $500-$700 new, + install (i.e. TT3000)
- Cam: $250-$400 new, + install (i.e. 212/218)
- Tune: $300-$400, in-person is best (local to you)

Then, depending on how much of the work you do yourself, you still have $1000-$2000 toward a Radix or STS Turbo.

 

dont forget the intake, exhaust, and LT headers. thats within budget. a 100 shot of n20will do the trick

 

intake and exhaust are taken care of, but LT headers I don't think I can do because they move the cats, and after runnin my WRX catless for a while in CA, I have learned it is not a good idea, and cops know what to look for. I was looking at TOGs though because they have a carb number, but are damn expensive. I am not familiar with cams, so wouldn't know where to start, or where to have the install done.

 

You can do the cam yourself, but the converter and tuning are best left in the hands of professionals. Where are you located?

 

Look at AZSpeed and marine headers or throleys.They have the carb # on them.I changed to electric fans and i can feel the difference.

 

When did ASMs and thorleys become carb approved?

 

Got my Throleys in 2001 with the carb #plate welded on it.Never had a problem in Ca.

 

Didn't know that thorleys were carb approved. Now when someone asks for some carb approved lt headers I can recommend more than TOGs. Thanks for the info!
