cheapest and most effective power upgrades for any car

[HenRoc]

Hmm you'd have to do some heavy research on that Daihatsu..remember those cars were never offered here except for the Charade and Rocky.

Your best bet is to search if anything is available there. I'm pretty sure they're are places for upgrading power on the Kei car but not to out do yourself isn't there some sort of law for how much you can upgrade your personal vehicle in Japan?

Considering is fairly constricted in the city so you actually have to get a title or deed just to have a parking spot or am I wrong?

id cut a hole in the hood, use the circle and make a hood scoop. an english wheel should form your hood scoop.

or route the intake tube to the corner light or cut a hole in the fender and run no air filter.

No laws about modding cars. As for the parking spots... I've never heard of that. Our parking spot comes with our apartment.

So, thoughts about power:

Cone filter/ intake upgrade:

cone filter, short ram, cold air?

Heat wrap the exhaust (cost effective?)

NOS (LOL - yeah right unless they make 20hp kits :P 20-50 would be sweet especially if I could use it on the CB7 )

e-supercharger

Normally I'd say this was a nonsense BS upgrade. That's for a 2.2 which needs a lot more airflow. A 0.7 doesn't need as much air so the PSI would be greater... maybe it'd actually work, who knows. I've not priced them lately, however. Nor do I know if it'd bolt on. Thoughts?

The little electric superchargers create a restriction in your intake, so you may be losing power whenever it's not running. Might be worth a shot, though.

That's the same with all super chargers

I was thinking that a bigger engine would suck in more air than the e-supercharger could pressurize. With a .7 liter engine, however, it should be able to pressurize a lot more air.

I dont know the life span of these chargers though so... might be a shot in the dark. These did come with a turbo so the transmission and block should be strong enough to hold a few psi.
