Thumbs up Its Time to Burn ( Not talking about my Car )

Gday My Fellow Small And Mid Sized Festiva and Telstar Brothers , Just Updating some Info on My Car for those who are interested , I Bought some New Car Audio Sturf ! Now Running the Sony MP3 Musho Head Unit , Pioneer 6x9" Rears , Pioneer 5" Fronts , Pioneer Tweeters , Pioneer 12" Subwoofer and a AudioLine 4x200watt Amp.

Im Also at looking at Boosting some more power out of the old girl , so if anyone has any good and cheap ideas about giving the car an extra 25kilowatts other than using BP Ultimate Petrol ( lOL) Give me a Yell

Later Guys

Rednuts

Hmm where to begin.
  • Extractors
  • Oversized leads
  • Decent plugs
  • Good pod filter (not something cheap and crap, a lot of difference between a cheap and expensive one)
  • Exhaust manifold sheild
  • Pod heat sheild
  • Proper cold air induction

Just a few things that can improve performance and response, doesn't cost all that much and can straight bolt on to any engine. Sorry to burst your bubble but you won't get 25kW from any cheap modification.

Cheers Mate, Any Ideas where i could get some of this stuff from , except for the Leads and Plugs , I Geuss Autobarn would have that , but the Extractors and the Manifold Sheilds would be harder to find , This is gonna sound stupid but what is cold air induction

First of all stuff Autobarn, rip offs. Go Sprints or Repco.

Extractors for a Telstar, try Repco they might be able to order in for $300. I'd try a lot of Ford wreckers, or even put up a Wanted To Buy thread on this site.

Sheilds need to be custom made. Try it yourself.

Cold air induction is basically giving your engine cold air from the outside of the car, rather than using the hot air in the engine bay. Cold air is 'smaller' than hot air, therefor you can get more air into the engine at one time, the car puts in more fuel to compensate and you get a bigger bang. Find where your air intake is on your car and run 3" piping from it to say your front bumper so when you drive the air hits the pipe and goes straight through to your engine.

Put a motor like mine in the bastard, then youll have LOTS more power.
A (AR/AS) (2.0 Carby) will give you 65Kw at the flywheel
A (AT/AV) (2.2 FUEL INJECTION) will give you 89Kw at the flywheel
A (AT/AV) GT (2.2 FUEL INJECTION TURBO) will give you 115Kw at the flywheel

These figures are from Mazda when using 98RON Fuel. Even with 98RON fuel now, (due to lower quality fuels) subract 5Kw

Problem being he wants 'cheap' options. If he wanted a powerhouse he might as well drop a KLZE V6 Quad Cam in there. Which has been done before. ;)
