Don't waste your money on it seriously. It would be just like flogging a dead horse, you wont make much noticable power even if you do exhaust/intake mods. Leave it alone & buy something with some potential |

If you really want to do something with it, get a cheap mild steel 2" exhaust made up (by cheap I mean using mild steel press bent pipe not mandrel and a cheap straight through rear muffler), don't bother with headers as your budget won't cover it. Then spend the rest getting the car running well (plugs, leads, dizzy cap/rotor, points, timing, mixtures etc.) Then if you really want to squeeze a little more power and are prepared to use a descent octane fuel you could wind the timing advance up a little just watch out for pinging. |

500 bucks should cover extractors + 2 1/4" exhaust + straight through muffler on a carbied car. |

Better than forking out for plugs/leads/tune which will get you nowhere if its already in tune and has perfectly working plugs and leads. |

Well I didn't actually say to buy all that stuff, just to get the car in good tune and to check/replace those things if needed, it goes both ways, there is no point in trying to get more power if the car isn't in descent running condition first. And I was only talking about the extractors being worth it at this stage or not, didn't mean the whole car. Hey I started out with a piece of shit RA40 celica :roll: |

yeah but if you can only afford 500 bucks on mods....can you afford the rise in insurance??? |

actually if i was in your situation, i would be looking more at suspension... Personally i believe that this is more important than power. |

Err yes they can, altho using a strap wont have much of a positive effect :? I aint saying that its the best way to do it, and its quite possible that piston 2 might wonder next door to say hello to piston 3, but dont say it cant be done... Caus in fact with a carby fed car, a suck thru turbo setup is piss easy to do... its all in the jets... |

Alright so the strap on turbo thing was a bad idea, but the car runs, its registered and road worthy*, the front and back tyres are new and it has king springs on the back, and something else on the front. So basicly you are all saying i can do jack shit to the engine in that price range?, Someone tell me what i can do and for how much then, forget the turbo idea. |
