major tips to explor hp on b16b? small stuff and big sutff
what is your primary use of the car?
Do you have second car?
What is your budget?
$500 is your budget? Save up then install a 4.9 Final drive.
throttle body should only really be concidered if planning to run big power. On a stock motor really wont do to much...
Like blinx said, the final drive will push power band up in each gear change/gain alot more response and Theoretically more torque through the rev range as torque is gained through gearing......
that will be biggest gain with the money i would of thought...
how much "max" speed will i loose
how much "max" speed will i loose
with just the 4.9 final drive you loose in the region of 25MPH as stock gearing with OEM wheels/tires is 157MPH(not that you can get there in a stock EK9 but hay) and the 4.9 drops you to around 130MPH mabe a tad less... Although extra RPM can get you a bit more as well as bigger tires/wheels etc, but thats defeating the point really isnt it.
Personally i wouldnt go for that only because i am enjoying the cars acceleration/top speed combo..... Everyone is different though....
If i were to change gearing now would be only 3rd,4th and 5th as 1st and 2nd are nice and long to keep traction to a maximum...
near 500 ,just booght the engine
save some more money.
wet nitrous no?
