More responsive na motor

what are the best ways to make an na motor more responsive?

Well, the main ways are

1. Straight through exhaust system
2. Decent intake
3. Lightweight flywheel
4. Lightweight pulleys (including crank pulley)
5. Remove powersteering

then if you still have cash left

6. Stiffer engine mounts
7. Port intake (including where intake meets engine)
8. Port headers to match engine
9. ITB's (Individual Throttle Bodies)
10. Lightweight internals

There are loads more but there the main ones

Remove air con, lighter wheels, lighten up the whole car, cams, ECU, bore, 2.2L stroker kit, by then, you would end up with a monster N/A engine!

wow, thanks for the awesome replies, i think doing some of these things would make an awesome motor! after reading the 3sgze thread, i could do this then it will be fit for an SC conversion!

thanks again

It will make a great motor but will be rubbish without other mods.

To cater for the extra power, i suggest strut braces, anti roll bars, coilovers, lightweight the car and upgrade the brakes.

This will give you a fun track car, i tell you that!

Just out of interest, is it mainly for track use, daily or a bit of both?

bit of both but mainly want a fast street car. i really want it to be a little sleeper and surprise all the vtec guys

i would like to keep some of my luxeries but if i want a fast car then i have no choise

It's a hard job to do with the ST182/3's. Problem is these are heavy cars. If you want to keep all the weight with your luxeries, i suggest at least a carbon fibre bonnet.

Then again, if you wan't a fast street car, then i'd go the 3SGTE route with some minor suspension and brake mods. 3SGTE is good because it will be reliable as a daily and still have the power that you want. After all, if it's overtaking power you want, this is the way to go.
