DelSolSweetie Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 ebay intakes are all about the same as name brand same. you are safe there. exhaust manifolds matter and there is much photo evidence of ebay ones sucking balls. avoid if you can springs hugely matter. you break an exhaust manifold or cai cause its junk - no big deal. you break a spring at 80 on the freeway - you die. they may actually be fine, but i will NEVER put generic suspension, steering or braking components on a car i drive. i bought my header from ebay.. better then stock and never had a problem with it.. had it for like 2 years now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Let me clarify, the name brand products would be fine, and knockoff products should be ok, it's the nameless ones you have to worry about. the 'racing headers' with no maker or information. who was that that posted up pics of the inside of his ebay generic header where the metal overlap on the inside of the welds blocked over half of the tube?

SpeedDemon Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 OP is updated with parts. ben and mike had a good point, im really not gonna gain anything from all this. so im not gonna waste too much money. ive never heard of AP1AP2 so i looked up reviews, they had 7774 positive, 103 netural, and 42 negative, their prices are fair, and i called and talked to them today. very informative, and it all comes with gaskets and bolts. so right now ive the the CAI, exhaust, header and test pipe taken care of. still looking for a GSR throttle body though. any other suggestions for things? should i use loctite on the bolts for the exhaust?

lceah Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 ^I'd think it'd be ok without? If you get a gsr throttle body, won't you have to get it tuned? Take your back seats and your spare tire in the trunk and any other unnecessary things out of your car for the race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 oh i will, car will be gutted when we go up. ill even take the passenger seat out for the race the throttle body im not sure on, i think it just allows more air in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 im pissed now. so me and the guy with the spyder get out of class and head into town. he picked up some wheel bearings and i got some prices on half shalfts. after wards we took the backroads to university and there is a 3 mile stretch of open road with no houses. so were like "why not get some test runs". we both made individual runs around a 1/8 mile. so we line up and go head to head, first run he spins all the way through second so i just ran away. second run he bogged it and didnt move more than 10 feet. third run i get him by 2 cars from the dig, and out of nowhere he flys by like im not even in gear. my first though is "damn...vaccum leak". nope this butthead has lied to me for months. he doesnt have the GS 4 cyl with 142 ish HP. he has the GT v6 with 200 hp. i was pissed off. so this thread can suck my dik because its either a motor swap or turbo going now. ill still be picking up the extra intake manifold and gsr throttle body. found a guy that has both, so how do i tell if it is a gsr throttle body other than size? http://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/1534489319.html what u guys think? too much?

SpeedDemon Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Couldn't have put it better. That is pretty gutting though mate! Don't just go getting the cheapest/easiest turbo set up you can just cos u wanna thrash this guy, spend some time on it n then thrash him! yeah it was gutting. im not gonna rush this, i want to do it right(and funds dont allow it to be done quickly lol). but i havent decided on what i want to do. i want to swap motors, because i dont feel like going to get a tune. im trying to find a b16a2/3 and cam it with basic bolt on junk.

DelSolSweetie Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 If you get a gsr throttle body, won't you have to get it tuned? thats what i said! and yes.. for it to run right he would need to get it tuned.. and since he isnt porting/polishing anything else it really wouldnt help THAT much.. it wont let in THAT much more air.. and the intake manifold is still the same size.. and its not designed to FORCE air in.. it might add like 1-2 hp IF and not to mention the piggyback/chip would be more money.. tuning is normally $150+ an hour.. not worth it IMO david.. save your money and dont worry about morons.. save it and PLAN YOUR BUILD and until then do what ben said.. it'll hold a 50 shot for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 if you guys go up a few posts i said i would be either turbo'ing or swapping motor. right now im on the hunt for a b16a2/3 and going to cam it. or ill get one of these http://athensohio.craigslist.org/cto/1523810880.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
