Chips are a joke. They cause more harm than they're worth. Don't mess with them.

so then what mod would i be able to preform to give me some power? Would a K&N dropin filter give any horsepwer?? ir would it just add a more aggressive engine tone?

trade that POS :lol:

That's right trade the car in! Sell it on EBAY and buy a EVO or STI, I found both cars for under 25,000. brand new! On Ebay.

No mark up and WAY below sticker! Nice! =D

Richard knows the future of my car (granted, it's probably happening in about 10 years... lol) The Solara would make a fun tear apart sleeper =D

I think your best bet with the 4 cylinder is to go turbo, I don't think the S/C is available for the 4 cyl. If you rufus and cruze can get some others interested, you can probably bring the price down. In general, I think S/C or Turbo are best but NOS can be an option. When people say that NOS is bad, they've probably heard of someone who was applying way to much, that is easy to do with NOS. You just have to limit yourself and don't go throwing some huge shots at it. The problem with it is, it is a bit of a hassle. Ask someone with NOS, I bet if they are honest, they would prefer to have S/C or Turbo. -JoeB

NOS wouldn't be a true solution. NOS is more of a track solution because it's a limited dosage, compared to a turbo/sc that is always there.

by **krawzyazn** » Sun Sep 07, 2003 8:54 am

this is true even with the right set up for nos it is still gonna cost you around 700-1000 for the correct set up with bottle warmer and don't forget every so often you gotta refill the bottle for like 30-40 a pop
i ran NOS on a 95 v6 accord and got a 14.4 and the only time i used it was at the track and on my street messing around

NOS best bang for the buck :drinking:

i need more power!!!
