Hey guys i was wondering what sort of mods would be nessicary to get around 200 hp crank ? Without going turbo or nos... Any ideas? I got some cash and wanna do some buying, just don't think i'm good enough to install a turbo or a nos system quite yet...

 

If you dont think you can install a NOS system, how the hell are you gonna put your new cams in needed to get near that 200hp mark? Turbos arent bad to install, just read directions, and maybe get a knowledgable friend to assist. Nos is nothing more than drill here, bolt there, and screwing things in. But if you want 200hp NA, your gonna need cams, intake, BBTB, p&p head and intake manifold, full exhaust, S-AfC or stand alone system, larger injectors.. Do a search, theres tons of info on it and ill tell you what they told me. If you want 200 hp, get a turbo for half the price youd pay for NA mods.. If you cant do a turbo instal, im sure a good shop could, and itll still save you money plus make more hp..

 

Without going turbo or using Nitrous (NOS is a brand name), your only other choice is Supercharger, even then you'd need some serious mods to near 200 HP. The highest mark on a RD for a SC that I've seen is our own Xorro, she's got 199 HP at the wheels and she's using water injection and tons of other stuff.

For poewr, go Turbo. You can always add more to go faster.

 

Alright cool guys thanks for the info and the advice. I was just thinking that using a turbo would do more damage then say alot of mods, i'd like to keep a little of the cars value :S hehehhe all good ...

 

Nope, if you properly install and tune your turbo, your Beta will run fantastic. It's very FI friendly.

 

also.. to get that kind of power NA... there is NO way your car will be emissions friendly.. or even have a good idle

 

Hmmm So were talking not a pretty idle huh? I think that would discourage some buyers hahahaha ... all good i might go for the turbo. I was thinking more along the lines of a CAI, Air ram, BBTB, Ignition change, Exhust, and so on...

 

You can do all of that man, and you'll get about 160 if you are lucky. Even with a quad throttle body and a Ramair intake, you'll only get like 170 or so.

Again, if you are lucky.

 

Nice.. I think i'll do all those mods then move to the turbo. I'm still not sure if i'm going to drive the car in the winter or not.. *Gasp.. I don't think the tibby turbo'd would do too well in the snow.. All good though. Thanks for all the help tongue.gif

 

Well then, there's another note. Why waste money on most of those mods, you won't be able to use them with a Turbo setup.
Your only other option would be to sell them when you move on to a turbo. That's what I'm doing.
