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:

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

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.

      More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
