    how to swap a Turbo engine into an NA

    if you have the money to spend on a clean Turbo, just get it. it's more work than it's worth to swap the n/a car to turbo and it'll probably come out to around the same price as the turbo car if you do it right and if you fix the body damage.

    Short Shifter Options...

    i just don't like the idea of the "row boat" factor of the stock shifter height. i wish C's made a short height, short throw shifter. i'm really only looking for a shorter throw between gears of course, but still.

    Whats the best DP to get for the Mk3?

    JSC Speed ftw. i just bought my ssqv from them and it came on an upper hardpipe for the IC piping and whatnot. but anyway, does the TMS downpipe route the wastegate and the exhaust flow into the DP simulataneously? wouldn't that create an assload of back pressure building up at the "elbow" area?

    Short Shifter Options...

    wtf... the c's "short shifter" is stock height? wow, good thing i didn't waste any money on one then. i guess i'll have to get the suprasport one.

    bov question?

    do you know what compressor surge sounds like? maybe that's the "choking sound" you're talkin about. cause i know with the vacuum line to my SSQV taken off, i surge a little bit even at stock boost. so like they said, check the vacuum line.

    Running a test pipe?

    i don't know how cheap their elbows are, but usually you end up spending more on an elbow/downpipe combination than you do on a divorced downpipe with the elbow already integrated into the downpipe as one piece. i'd go for a DDP if i were you.

    The "How much did you spend" thread

    bought the car for $1200 this September, and i've put like $600 into it since then, with intake, bov, and maintenance. with the rs*r cat-back i'm getting for Christmas (hopefully), i'll have a total cost of around $2300 spent within 3 months including cost of the car. with a dishwashing job and...

    exhaust size

    3 inches from the turbo-back. if you want quiet performance, get a resonator (or resonated cat-back) and a removable silencer. i'm pretty sure the Blitz Nur-Spec cat-back system is resonated. the silencer will hurt performance a little because of the back pressure, but you really only need one...

    Completed LSx (or 1 or 6 or 7 or...)?

    NGK Iridium IX Spark Plugs (Please Read!)

    Completed LSx (or 1 or 6 or 7 or...)?

    uhhh, weak example of a Honda. i was talking about a Civic hatch or somethin. i think s2k's and NSX's and stuff like that are gorgeous and i've seen that s2k you're talkin about... amazing. it's just weird to think of a Corvette engine in a Corvette killer. the irony would make winning a race...

    NGK Iridium IX Spark Plugs (Please Read!)

    to stay kinda on topic, i need to do a tune up, so info on whether or not to go copper or iridium would be great. any places to find plug wires, too, cause i'm at 935 motorsports' page and MSD wires are 80 bucks... normal?

    Completed LSx (or 1 or 6 or 7 or...)?

    people call our cars "corvette killers" around here... LS series swap is like putting a 1JZ in a Honda. it'll be sick, but there's just somethin wrong about it.

    Help with MPG

    it drives fine and idles fine. smooth throughout the powerband no matter where i'm at with the throttle. i think i should get a tune up and change the o2 sensor cause i have no idea how old these spark plugs and wires might be. same with the o2. my exhaust manifold gasket's shot too, but would...

    November in Malibu (56k ... get a snickers!)

    that car and that scenery are both the main reasons i wanna move to Cali. mainly the car though, just cause i wouldn't mind seeing a few MkIV's per day rather than per year.:love: is it really worth it to live over there or is there "too much crime" and stuff?
