had a quick question. i would like some more horses, but i dont want to get to indepth and too expensive. what are some easy changes i can do without taking the engine out? any suggestions?

 

CAI gives a couple horses, adds some sound too. exhaust. ecu tune. theirs a bunch to do. whats wrong with takin the engine out???? do a pulley!

 

you dont have to take the engine out........just undone the mounts and jack it up enough to get to the pully. I would say either to a pully or a CAI

 

I would say both

 

well, i have never taken an engine out of a car before, and in my opinion it would be idiotic to start with a mini.. especially MY mini. dont really have the tools to do it anyway. how much does a pully "pull" in? 1o -15 hp?? i have no clue.

 

Ya... 10 to 15 whp. Do a CAI at the same time and you will have a good 20 or so WHP and a nice super charger whine

 

Do the pulley when you have enough money for a DME remap. The remap makes a huge difference to the pulley. The pulley by itself will add some power, but the remap is the main factor. Some easy boltons will give you a good amount of power. Exhaust, intake, pulley, remap.

After that you enter into the semi-serious zone of doing headers, heads, porting manifolds.

And after that you enter into the serious mod zone of engine rebuilds That's where the big power is at.

 

you canalways have sombody install the pulley for you. save the trouble and then is somthing gos wrong you have sombody to blame haha
