ckinyon Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 hi. im new to the modified car world. i just bought an 05 lgt. i want to do some modifications to make it a little more spunky. i have been reading about all different tipes of mods and was wondering what would be a good mod that will give me that extra little, and still pass emissions? Also what would a pro tune do to a stock lgt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robitrice Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 you have been reading about all the types of mods and couldnt answer those two questions? sounds like you didnt read anything. search Stage 1 or Stage 2 and you will find your answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Welcome to the forum, don't mind the trolls. BTW, I have been know to be one. Are you good with a laptop ? Most of us that are not have Cobb AP. First off you need to check the oil level and top it off as needed. NEVER let it get low on oil. Make sure the banjo filter is removed. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Secondly, all New Englanders are trolls from time to time. I firmly believe it's in our blood. the wonderful sarcastic wit that escapes the rest of the free world must be a byproduct of the weather.

Max Capacity Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Then look for a used Cobb AP v2. You can trade in a v1 for a upgrade if you can only find them. Check cobb's site for the trade in. Where do you live ? May be one of us know's a good Tuner close to you. I'm lucky, my Tuner lives in the next town over from me. http://www.tuningalliance.com I guess you know to keep the stock air intake, have you cleaned the MAF sensor yet ? That's a good start to keeping it running smooth. You'll want to install a catless up pipe and DP of choice, I have a Invidia catless dp along with thier up pipe. I keep my OEM DP in the shed with a O2 sensor in it for when I have to pass emissions. You don't need to do much to this to make them fast. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Look him up, he may be able to help or may know someone. I'll try and find a link. If you use him, tell him the (old) guy from CT with the yellow civic hatch with the single cam sent you.
