Any Gains?

[BLKWLF]

Hi guys just wondering if was to do a cold air intake with 3inch piping, custome exhaust with 2.25inch piping and the megan header would i get a decent gain? Not looking for much just that little bit extra till i buy my second car then i'll start building this one up. Also would i need a tune for this?

You'll pick up a little more power. If you pick up more than 15 whp from everything you listed I'll be surprised. Make sure to reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, so it can learn to breathe better through the new pipes.

yeah. i mean dont think you'll get like a 40hp gain from it. at most with the CAI, header and exhaust, you'll probably get a 10-13hp gain. thats IF your motor is healthy. you wont need a tune for those either. but if you bought a chipped p06 ECU and got it tuned, it would help your motor make better use of those mods and future ones to come


but you will notice the car accelerates smoother, throttle response improves and if your like me, you'll be able to actually feel the motor breath better.

Which engine do you have? If you have the A1 or A4 you can get some more power by swapping out the ecu, intake manifold, and cam. Here's a link to the thread about it if you haven't read it yet. You can find everything at the junk yard so it'll be fairly cheap power too.

Even if you have an A6 with those parts already on it you could look for the P12 ECU that comes in a Prelude and people have said that it adds close to 10hp.

if you have a a1 or a4 you should really do the a6 cam. it really does make a diference

brandoncb7- dont you mean p14? dont want to get this guy confused.

No, he doesn't.

The p14 came in the H23 'ludes. Completely useless if the OP is running an F22.

I'd stick with the pt6 if I had an a6. It's already tuned for the a6 cam, and has the actuator circuit for the butterflies. I don't think the p12 is going to be an upgrade for the a6.

Keep the PT6 if you have an EX. An intake and exhaust isn't going to do much, but you'll feel a difference in throttle response.

There is a thread on gaining 30 hp for $500 or less thats stickyd. I'll let you look for it.

Isn't there another way to hook up the butterflies? Even so I guess it would be better to either use the pt6 and the a6 cam or the p12 without the a6 cam.

A very cost effective way to gain power is a Bisimoto heat shield gasket. It will provide you with a 3% increase in hp to the wheels, not to mention, it is reusable so it will pay for itself. The price is $48 with free shipping in the continental US. This is a very cost effective fashion, to increase hp. It will make a great Christmas gift for any cb7 enthusiast.

i would go with custom exhaust with 2.50inch piping not the 2.25 http://www.kgsengineering.com/megan-...rd-p-4425.html
and this header http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=142189 i`m getting this header

Honestly, I started a thread similar to this a while back-but I've gone from SRI to CAI, and now back to the stockbox with a K&N drop-in. Didn't notice a huge difference, but having an A6 IM and header is def. nice glad I didn't have to add them later

You'll notice a nice deal of throttle response with a nice exhaust system, say, 2.25" or something imo 2.5" is too big for our cars unless on fi. The aftermarket intakes make a nice sound, but I never really noticed much of difference

i was just going to recommend this.
