PartsHelper's MG intake FS thread

 

[QUOTE=s2k aok,Jun 28 2008, 03:35 PM] a one thousand budget for 2whp?

 

I would spend a little more and get 4.57/4.44 gears. Much better bang for buck IMO.

 

Dang checked out the thread and looks pretty legit. I have never really been a fan of getting replica parts but right now, I am debating between the Mugen Replica and the Fujita F5. Honestly, I am leaning towards the F5 because I'm not big on replicas. Options are still open though. Thanks for your help dude.

Uhh, 4.57/4.44 gears? I am pretty noob when it comes to cars (kinda). Can you explain what exactly these are?

EDIT:

Ok, so I did my own research on the Final Drive ratios. They seem like a good mod but just not for me. I read that they cause significant loss in gas mileage and have you shift more often. I use my S for daily driving so this doesn't really work for me. Thanks for the input.

 

Can you give me a link for more information?

 

Gears and an ebay snorkel!

 

I just edited my post above. So yeah, a new Final Drive ratio isn't for me. ONE more noob question , how do CAIs cope with water getting into the intake?

 

They dont, if you live in an area where water stands on the roads, or you get alot of rain.........I wouldnt buy one. You'll hydro-lock your engine, which, if you turn it off right away isnt a big deal, just a pain in the ass waiting for everything dry out, but the alternative is you seize your engine.
