power - cheaply!!, how can u get 200+ bhp Options

[Aus]

I need a quickfire way to spend the least amount of money, to get the most amount of power out of my GT (UK)

How much money do you want to spend.

You are expecting too much from just a few mods.

What engine are you using? 5SFE?

5SFE Info
130 hp @ 5,400 rpm
145 lb.-ft. @ 4,400 rpm

70HP jump is way too much without spending some money.

Either way, look here:

1) buy an autometer Air Fuel ratio meter.

2) buy an adustable fuel pressure regulator with gauge
a) buy some ngk racing plugs

3) adjust the Air Flow meter idle screw for a rich mixture base on the a/f meter reading.

4) advance the throttle position sensor if you have one.

5) If not above, increase the fuel pressure using the adjustable fuel pressure regulator.

6) advance your timing by a few degrees. Maybe up to 16 degrees. Increase it from 0 to 16, slowly listening for pinging. (sounds like little hammers tapping on a piece of metal)

This is the cheapest and safe way to do it.

Either way, this is my opinion and I am not liable for any damage or problems resulting from what is stated here.
