Okay so i had a idea but i dont know if it will work or if its even worth doing and i need some help...

I wanted to get some

550cc injectors
Performance spark plugs
Computer
And a Tune

Do you think that would give me very much HP If anything?

For the money you would spend on a Tune and injectors, you might as well go the I/H/E setup and save some money.

Okay well what is I/H/E setup?

ughh it wouldnt get you ____ if your stock. now lets say you had all that ontop of the I/H/E youll be gaining alil from obviously a better tune over stock.

as far as i know if you tune the car the way it is youll just be running better AFR's and such

Intake header and exhaust. Although those together won't net you much power.

if you need to ask this question then you should leave the car the way it is. nuf' said

-whats your HP goal? You looking for lots of power or just something mild. Most people just do IHE to start off with, but those will give you minimal gains. But if your serious about trying to get some serious about your car, look into Turbo setups, NST light pullies and other things to help ya out. There are a lot of parts out there, some help more than others. But also it can get pricey.

* cams that dont have ANY known proof of power gains for NA

Alvarado.e09

Yeah i have I/H/E and FlintMica sorry that i didnt now what I/H/E meant not everyone is a pro with abbreviations

any ways

I do want to get some NST pulleys already have them priced out and was going to buy some off of classifieds but they guy never got back to me...

and i am going to go turbo when i get other things outta the way first... But for now

Injectors, plugs, Computer, And Tune If its worth it?

and for gains as much as i can get outta this setup

one more thing can you tune your car without a after market computer?

I know that you can do tuneups but Performance tunning will i need a different computer?

Thanks for the help

that right there was worse then the IHE one.

read up and learn a thing or two. you need some type of EMS to tune ("computer" as you say)

NO you wont gain anything but have better AFR's at WOT and Partial throttle. btw tune ups and getting your car tuned on some type of EMS are 2 completely different things

and if you plan on going turbo whats the point of this? might aswell just save your money.

you have alot to learn man. look up things and read up cause seriously your logic is pretty bad

pff he can barely get that if he had all bolt ons and get tuned.

the way it is now nothing will happen besides have better AFRs

550cc injectors-$200 or so
Spark Plugs- $50-100
EMS-$400+
tune-$250+

and im just being moderate there

What everyone is saying is right....you got alot of research to do.

pyroman131

It might be better to invest in lighter, carbon fiber parts for your tC. lol

Alvarado.e09

Yeah your right i do need to learn a lot but that doesn't mean you have to be an ___... Why cant you point me in the right direction instead of bashing on me?

I am a scion owner too i dont drive a civic and i am apart of the scion family...

Any ways thanks for the help

Firefightin_tC

Because we've seen so many people go down this line and expect everyone to give them the answers. Sometimes you're just going to have to do the research and find your own way. Getting boosted isn't something that you just want feel your way through. Even if you don't build it yourself, you need to figure out what you're getting into because it comes with a lot of headaches and pain.

Even with the basic I/H/E you'll come know where close to 200whp unless you do some extensive block work, which at the moment, sees WAY out of your grasp.

Do yourself a favor and just do your reading, learn from the -costly- mistake of others. You're going to make some mistakes and you're going to spend some money to learn a few lessons that no one on this board can really tell you about.

It's called experience.

You'll be better for it.
