well broke everything down financially and due to not having the car running for the past month and a half and not really going out or doing much besides school and work cause of it i realized that i got some extra cash comming up after going on a somewhat of a spending spree for this month

17" forged centerline wheels (ordered)
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 (money aside but gota get around to ordering)
PRD wires (same deal)
Iridium plugs (same deal)

shitty its winter cause i would soooo love to throw those on the second i'd get em

but im starting to ramble 02.gif

got about an extra 300 bucks or so coming up that im pretty sure i can put aside for some goodies for the car

came up with 3 choices and can afford two of them unless someone comes up with a better way to spend the money, so far all i got in the engine is a CAI

- 4-1 Headers
- Underdrive Pulley
- 1.8l cam

wonder what 2 of the 3 would give the best hp for $

i 'think' headers and cam? or would the pulley do more for the car

thanks for any assistance

It'll be hard to get a 4-1 header and cam for 300 unless you find a used header.

But yes, those two will give the best gains.

Only 4-1 available now are those wierd ones from Australia that are like $600.

(insert future sale plug here) I'll have my Maintec 4-2-1s for sale once my turbo goes on for a bit above 400 bucks soon though. cool.gif

well thats not very good news... lol hopefully i can find one used on one of the tiburon boards 02.gif

a 4-1 header would benefit a standard car more then a 4-2-1 correct?

as far as i remember a 4-1 adds abit more power to the top of the rpm band as a 4-2-1 gives about low to mid power?

Good news is that you could easily get a 1.8L cam and U/D pulley for like $150

Ebay for the pulley, and me for the 1.8L cam wink1.gif

Hwarang 4-1 headers are still available from Shark Racing.com & FastHyundai.com... for between $US395 & $US410

RPW & PSC both sell some as stated above but they are kinda pricey.

heres what you should do, buy the ebay U/D pulley and stuff from alex for ~150$ or close to it..

buy the 4-1 OBX header, it was pretty good, and i felt the gain, and get some DEI heat wrap, and wrap the whole header and D/P..

that will all be really close to 300$ an you could have ALL the mods.. wrapping the manifold would help ALOT with heat, and you would feel a difference in under hood temps/

dont look like they sell the 4-1, but the gains on the 4-2-1 will be very close to the 4-1 and probably not even noticable..

headers $125 shipped

couldnt find an underdrive pulley on ebay, but found overdrive pulleys..

but honestly, you could get ALL three, including the exhaust wrap for 300$ and you def. would feel the difference.
