Horsepower gains
Monday, August 29, 2005 10:08 PM
What kind of gains can I get, by adding cold air injection and a cat-back system? how about header and throttle body? Do they make an after-market throttle body? Is it possible to get 200 hp from this motor?

cold air intake and catback, id say mabey 10-15, header, would be a few more, throttle body, doubt any gains. if your gonna get a header, don't bother with a catback, just get a full exhaust system (header, downpipe, new highflow cat, resonator, muffler and all piping) then id say that with an intake and your looking at about 15hp.

now for 200hp, if you mean N/A..........yes its possible but very difficult, if you want that much power, go boost or nitrous

Ok, to correct you, there is no injection but I knew what you meant. It's a cold air intake.

Yes they do. It's actually a bored out stock throttle body with a bigger plate. It comes 62 MM (I believe stock is 58 MM). You can contact RSM Racing for one or you can check the Classifieds here.

Yes and way more. There are lots of proof and lots of people with boosted ECOTEC motors who are pushing way over 200 WHP and some approaching closer to 300 WHP. To be honest, you can do anything to any motor with the right amount of knowledge and skill (and money).

And to answer your overall question, we can not give you any estimated numbers on cold air intake, cat-back or throttle body gains because every car is different and every car/motor reacts differently to the same mods. There are people out there who have the same setup as each other who put down different numbers as far as power...there are too many variables that play into effect so take that assumption of "I will gain X amount of HP from this modification" out of your head because it will just lead you to disappointment.

The only true way to know how much power you will get is to get the part, install it and dyno your car. Other than that, people will just take numbers out of the air and give you "guestimations".

INDUCTION or Intake

You must mean Intake cause there is no such thing as "Cold Air Induction"
