Hey,

i got a 1996 Daewoo Cielo and i want to add to the mods. I already have a talon Front spoiler and side skirts the rear will be completed in the next few months. And i have a T - Wing i picked up cheap out of the sunday times. What can i do to the engine to give it some more go, on a tight budget? :wassup:

Lets make this thing deadly!!!! :ghost:

First of all, Welcome to SAU :) especially NA section.

with your question, do some research on Korean based tune site... I doubt they are in english... :D

with faster time, simple answer is less weight :) so start loosing weight in your car or your self :P

Good luck.

btw Thanks for buying Korean car :P you are supporting my ppl. :P kinda :P

get an RB!!!

similar concepts apply to all cars - In my opinion skylines in particularly from 32 onwards, breathe alot better. I do not know about the Daewoo but in my camry, the

air filter is placed behind the battery in the engine bay, and the snorkel doesnt even

get any fresh cool air from the front. But with the funny angles and the positioning of

the airbox, it is simply impossible to install a pod filter.

The best you can do is probably change the panel airfilter and exhaust. There isnt too much

modification wise that you can do without spending mega bucks to get small power gains.

Try to make it breathe alot better, or like Pva_Glue says - just strip the car.

As to why your on an skylines forum - dunno - they may have a Daewoo forum with

others who may be able to help you better. But the concept is still quite relative.

or you can try to use nitrous.

If your serious about making it deadly and are on a tite budget, loose all ur seats mate.. LOL except the drivers side ofcourse, loose all the panels basically just have the necessities, and if u got a spare 1000 - 2000 in ur budget start with extractors , a 2.5" exhaust system and a new air filter

My mate told me i would get more power if i removed the air filter, so i removed it and went to clark rubber and got some flexible piping i screwed to the bottom of the front spoiler for a cold air intake. It makes a bit of a turbo noise now, yay! :P

I also went to the extreme of removing the headers and cutting it just before the cat. It gives it some extra watts and makes a nice noise, but its slightly too loud and too illegal so i will have to figure something out, in the mean time i will just enjoy what i have.

As for weight reduction is there anything else other than the seats i can remove???

so let me get this straight...

1. you removed your air filter and ran a pipe from down low right into your intake system

2. you cut your exhaust just before the cat

WTF!!!

obviously your taking the piss....

IF your not - WTF are you thinking?????

water/dust/dirt will be getting sucked into your motor for a start - you need some form of filtration ffs mate!!!!

and not only is it HIGHLY illegal to do what you did to your exhaust system (not only sound emissions but having no CAT - someone told me fine is well over 100 thousand dollars...) but you have now taken your horse power from 50HP to 20, nice work :P

the engine needs back pressure mate - you may as well get a PHAT 4" exhaust system and slap on this puppy if your going to cut it off.....same thing will happen - no back pressure = power loss

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
