giogio43 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Im not that good with understanding how cars work but as i know if i put a bit better air intake part or whatever, car gets a bit more power right? and it does not cost much so how and what can i do with my legacy 3.0 H6 JDM all the info i can find here on this forums is always about turbo engines and american models i cant seem to find anything for JDM 3.0 legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike07LGT Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Save your money.. not many people mod those cars because the gains are minimal if any 03 WRB WRX (RIP) 04 JBP STI (sold) 07 DGM Legacy GT (RIP) 12 OBP STI (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaders_3.0R Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 ^ Agreed. Keep things simple. Im doing suspension,wheels,tires, and exhaust for my 3.0. Unless you wanna shell out 7k for a SC kit then your kinda wasting time/money on not much power gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimera Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 you will get marginal gains in power with an etune. mate just got his done by dave @ cryo and I could definitely notice the difference when he took me a spin - a lot more responsive at low end. obviously not same gains as a turbo'd vehicle, but all the little things can add up.

Vaders_3.0R Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Suspension can be any number of things. Whiteline makes sway bars and strut braces, GTSPEC does as well. Springs are all over the place just gotta see what drop you wanna get. Exhaust can go custom or Raptor in AUS make headers ($750) not including shipping/customs. Nameless makes axle back deletes and performance mufflers. All depends on the end goal for the car. Daily driver? Track car? Rally car? Show car? lol just browse this place, chances are someone somewhere has done it or tried to haha. i guess you are right. i saw that post about spending 7k on it that for me is crazy:d anyways what about the exhaust? and suspension what do you do there>? and what do you gain?
