remove air intake silencer.

cut open/remove the resinator under the intake.

advance timing a very little bit.

install home made RAM AIR/COLD AIR intake.

all 4 of these mods can be done for under $15......i have explained exactly how to install the ram air intake many times before so search the threads and you will find it.

save your money for a K&N filter (part number E-2875), they can be bought from $50-80 and will give greatest HP/top end power for the money.

Hey.

Only can do so much to a NT. This is what I did;

Been a whine since I updated the site. Pretty much along the line as Shawn said. I put the Base Timing at 10 but need to use 94 Octane so I don't get knock.

Hi guys, thanks alot I love these tips, i'll be sure to take advantage of them! Do you know aproxamatley how much more power each could produce?? And I know this makes me sound dumb, but what is the average top speed for a stock 91 laser RS.

Thanks. Ryan

Average top speed? Depends on how long a peice of pavement youve got... LOL .. My old 90 n/t would hit 230 + km/h if I had enough straight real estate to get it up there... rotflmao


Back in the garage again....

isn't there a speed governer on those cars?

I would doubt you ever reach 230 on flat road with no wind.

Hey, I've been to 180km/h without much problems and I wouldn't see a problem getting to 230km/h if I had enough pavement. My buddies Tiburon with similiar HP/Torque and no mods can get 200km/h before the rev limiter kicks in and he stills has some left.

I got to 230 km/h more than once.. My buddies used to think it was the coolest thing... Took a long time to get it there, and you needed flat straight road....

I am sorry

I apologize

I regret what I said

I made a mistake

enough? laugh

that was a question, and that comes probabely from my Galant experience and how I try to match the two world. Eventhough similar not always the same. Galnt has a 190kmh Speed governer.

in my old 94 es I hit 210 with no problem. Could have gone faster but was catching up to traffic in a hurry so it was time to shut down

Yeah, last time I did it, I was 19 and some dumb ass backed out of his driveway.. Almost smoked him.. Young and foolish, what can I say.. It was completely irresponsible, and I shouldnt have done it, someone could have been killed very easily... frown

Do you have driveways right in highways in NS or were you testing that in some back street? eek eek eek

I read that fact about speed governer somewhere and that pretty much makes sense to me. Maybe the canadian versions didn't have it. the maximum i have driven with my Galant was 180. It might have gone a bitaster if there was a clear road. However it severly depends on teh wind directon and speed. Right now I don't think it can make it there even. My engine doesn't have almost any top end torque.At 150 I have more acceleration in 5th than in 4th. That I think is because of poor spark plugs and an ancient air filter.

I don't know if it matters but with four people in my car I hit 220km/h with it. But since my tranny is down for the count I can't go test it with less weight.
