ye, totally understand, esp urs auto, for sure need high torque to get moving.
if manual then its not too bad cause the gear ratios are different and they dont lose power to the torque converter.

shackks,
can DIY lah, as long got all the stuff, the most important thing is getting an oil cooler from halfcut, the others is easy

pacer,
whenever i hear the word DIY, my hands itchy liao....

haha, no prob, pm me if need help

sure thing, bro... thanx.

yeah im gonna get mine from half cut also... but still in the process of saving money now...

aiyo... so many temptations, resistances so low, how to save money like that??

haha, hold the FPR and exhaust and do the oil cooler first

maybe have to do that lor... aih.

so many biggie projects around.. how g00d if i haf a money printing machine..

roughly need around rm300 plus for this 3 stuff im planning to do...
1. Gearbox cooler
2. Wash manifold
3. DIY oct

guys another thing of advice which im suprise they never mention in the wash ur manifold thread. once u guy take out ur manifold for washing advice u to polish it also...definately got difference!

how old is ur car cause u to wash intake manifold? of course it is better to wash it but catually it will do very little harm, engine oil in the intake manifold will only reduce the octane level in petrol, if this is what u are afraid of, when it is vapourise (not then it is stuck to the intake). what u can do is do some injector cleaning or decarbonising to clean the injector part. so, take out the throttle body and if it looks not too bad then no need to waste $$ la.

my car is 20K and been using OCT when almost new, last week when i see inside the manifold via the throttle body it was still clean,... heehee, so i guess its a good investment.

yes, yes, polishing and PORT MATCHING works

DIY OCT is easy with petol filters btw, all for rm5, but then i have been using those for a while and got sick of changing them every 5K so i bought an el cheapo OCT for rm100,

yo bros..

i juz took out the chrome hood thingy.. can any1 plz tell me what is the thing that i should get to stick back the ugly thing?

why take it out in the first place?? haha

anyway try 3M tape... or super glue if u want it there forever

this was the reason y.. but i'm looking for the black sticker.. can't find de..

haha... sorry ahh, misunderstood i tot the thundercat logo:P
i also dunno where to find la dude. sorry la
byt i guess u can look at acc shop where some ppl just stick blcak tape for the top part of the windsceen (not the tint, but the kind that stick on the outside)

recommended every 10 k to wash intake manifold... even with OCT still a few drops can get in to the manifold when u full throttle all the time... mine quite a number of mods that make me full throttle all the time that is the reason wanna wash it and polish it 2 and thinking of painting it 2 like what ethan did...hehe. Bro i heard about the enjine decorbanizing thingy and will do it when the time is right. now my ride is 30k.

mattchin u can get it at sticker shops tell them 1 inch black tape.... accessory shop also seliing that black tape which can be used to...so any difference... if ur using large snorkel definately got difference... air induction sound also can hear clearly now....hehe

agree... if u change to better filter... and change extrator.. more best.. hehehe

HUH???
Every 10K, serious or not? to take out the intake manifold is no easy job. i have taken it out b4. and i think with OCT will really minimize the amount of oil going into the manifold. the last time i took it out was at 15K, using OCT and Breather ad it was really clean. i mean got la a coating of oil which is normal but then its not black. i am also a high revving driver .

but anyway, if 30K already i think u should take it out and wash it and put in an OCT and breather (if not oil may still go through ur throttle body) to see the result urself and see if it needs cleaning every 10K or not

btw, since it is out, i recomend u not only do polishing but port matching too
cheers

10 k that was recommended by ethan in gen2 club obviously not everyone gonna do at 10k bro this was Recommended only... What do u mean by port matching bro?
