Car Modding, pano simulan? pls help

[ghosthunter]

Its hard to maxmize the power of an automatic car coz its being controlled shift. Unless you turn-off the O.D.

depends... I can control my car's A/T simply by selecting the gear manually 1-2-D.

wow! astig pala dito ang bilis ng replies! thanks mga bossing!

so, basically, ganito kaya gawin ko: (as suggested by you guys)

* 4-2-1 na headers, hirap ang mga branded e, may mare-refer ba kayo? kung Nodalos? san yun pinapakabit? san meron nun?

* Simota tube, tapos KNN cone filter? ok na kaya yun? or yung KNN adapter and filter? (i asked fusion-racing wala na daw tube pag KNN e..)

as with tuning concerns, yea, maintained to, i use mobil1 engine oil with X1R treatment saka transmission oil ko, X1R treated rin..
i dont plan on lowering my springs, kase hassle minsan pag mababa e..i have 15" Corsica mags though..

any other tips? like san okay na shop magconsult at magpa-upgrades? (im from fairview)

o yea, ano po ang free-flow mufflers? yun ba yung papaputol yung muffler at palitan lang ng 2inch diameter na pipe? may benefit ba pag paputol yung pipe hangang gitna? (mga 3inches after the resonator?) thanks ulit!

sir wag ka gumamit ng X1R, sapat na yung mobil1 na fully synthetic and it already has additives in it, additing more additives might negate that.

a freeflow muffler still looks like a muffler externally but the design you can look thru it if you look at it from one of the open ends.

Cutting your exhaust pipe after the resonator will just result in a noisy car and loss of backpressure which might result in less lower rpm torque.

simota tube and K&N filter would be fine but the engine's intake sensor is attached at the end of the rubber pipe extension leading from the engine. If you have the Sentra series 3, the "simota tube & cone filter" solution would be no problem. The sentra series 2 solution for cone filter is to have a filter adapter installed to the sensor assembly.

K&N filters normally do not come with tubes.

[bobo_d_wiseman]

hmmm...so ok na rin po ba yung stock na intake tube kabitan nalang ng adaptor and then the KNN cone filter?

di ba maganda ang walang backpressure? pag nagpa-muffler ako, di parang nawalan ng silbi yung headers, kasi mare-restrict din yung airflow pagdating sa muffler tama ba? more info please about exhaust..
salamat sa suporta! may taga north-qc ba dito?

that's where you feel the difference of free flow mufflers ;)

ang ingay ng scub (yung putol after resonator) and ang lakas ng vibrations dahil yung putol sa ilalim mismo ng cabin ng car.

o yea, to get others involved sa thread,
how about sharing here when you started modding your ride, what were the first upgrades you installed, how you installed them/ or learned to install them, where did you have it done, and how much you think you spent...something like that, para newbies like me dami malaman from experiences not from notes alone.. thanks
