basic mods + 4v hp?

DickH · August 15th, 2009, 02:53 AM

Well, if I cant get my car running by the end of the day tomorrow ill be looking into buying a new motor, figured might as well make it a 4v. I was curious what kind of power an 01 cobra motor would put out with the basic cai, tb, o/r x, pulleys, etc? im just getting all anxious about having a 4v and on paper, stock for stock they are much better than 2vs, how much more am I really getting though? what are typical must have mods beyond the basic intake/exhaust?

Basic bolt-ons = ~300rw

i had 312rwhp with bolt ons, and that was un-tuned. Ask 32VGT, he did the swap.

You should go with a 99 Cobra motor since they are all teksid blocks whereas only a few 01's were (unless you know for a fact that the specific 01 motor you're getting is also teksid)

Don't get the 99 motor if it doesn't have the fix.

DickH · August 15th, 2009, 07:05 PM

treblruh · August 15th, 2009, 07:07 PM

Depends if the owner took it in or not when the recall was issued.

99blkcobra · August 16th, 2009, 12:14 AM

on hp depends what a bolt on is to u. build a 4v

DickH · August 16th, 2009, 12:53 AM

Well my dreams are now crushed... Ill fix my car monday, it seems to only be a fuel problem. I was kind of looking forward to having a 4v, and getting 300+na, now ill have to live with 10lbs on a 2v. Well thanks anyway, though I am a little bummed that I wont be seeing 7k rpms soon...

Even if the 4v doesnt make much more power peak, remember it makes much more power over time.

Just a hardly measured attribute that does influence performance and gives the 4v motor an edge over a similar power 2v.

Theres been quite a few cars that make more power than me but only for short amounts of time before shifting where they fall back behind as I keep pulling even if not as hard.

Good luck with your issues though. Either way 10lbs will be a fun car
