06_LGT Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I just bought a invidia upipe, CNT downpipe and an SPT CBE . Also, I'm considering getting a custom dyno tune, im wondering what kind of numbers i will be looking at and if i should invest in a CAI? Any comments are greatly appreciated! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robitrice Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 depends on the tune...get a custom tune its worth the extra money for the peice of mind. Correct me if I am wrong but maybe 230-260 hp depending on the dyno and tune!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoniram Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 ^^ I think he means WHP, not HP. I've seen stage 2 tuned cars make about 250 whp with similar mods, so yeah. CAI: Most people here seem to think it's not worth your time/money. The stock airbox flows pretty well. A K&N filter, however, would be a worthwhile investment! If you're doing the uppipe, I would recommend you consider buying headers to go along with that. (you have to take off at least one side of headers, and you're upgrading everything else, may as well get some nice EL headers!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 IMO, keep the stock intake, go with a Parrin or K&N type drop in pannel filter. I use the K&N cleaning kit on my Parrin filter. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

lowwill Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I swapped my SPT intake back for my stock with the k&n filter. Is it me or does it seem to have more torque? Low end power? Got tired of that noise quick lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heedz Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 personally i stay away from oiled filters because they can clog your MAF up. The stock intake is good till about 400whp, my buddy ran a 18G and it was perfectly fine. I put down 230whp/253wtq on a road tune stg2 but that was intake temps at like 140+, so add about 10-15 on top during cooler climates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Just be careful with the amount of oil you use in the Perrin. You don't need alot. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

HCF Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Don't mean to be off topic.. I also live in Ohio, and was wondering where you were planning to get your car tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 From everything I've seen, cars at stage-2 with catted DP's, 3" cbe's and aftermarket TMIC's make in the 250-260whp range with 300-315tq.

HCF Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Thanks. If you wouldn't mind keeping me posted, I have not found a local option whatsoever, so I am willing to travel. I live in a Cleveland area suburb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlson Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 i just put my car on the dyno yesterday with the same mods and i hit 242 hp and about 275 ft lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoniram Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Looking at your previous posts, I see you bought your car with a DP and tune. Was that DP catted or catless? And have you done any further mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneomac1602 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I was dynoed with the following mods: K&N drop in filter, Cobb catless up pipe, Perrin catless down pipe, Magnaflow cbe, and put down 261.35whp@303ft/lbs at 17.7psi. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that works out to 305hp at the crank. Typically I believe a decent stage 2 tune will get you in the 250-269 range depending on who does it, amount of boost, a/f ratio, and weather conditions that day. Good luck man, let us know what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
