mach boy what all is done to your car

Mach Boy · August 26th, 2008, 01:26 PM

You shouldn't worry about it. I'm just saying you could spend that money elsewhere and get better results from your car. Subframe connectors, shifter, lower control arms, water pump, and an intake are all things that I can think of that are better for about the same amount of money.

Mach Boy · August 26th, 2008, 01:26 PM

It's in my garage.

armymike63b · August 26th, 2008, 01:32 PM

i already have all that stuff except for the water pump and control arms.....and i mean what all is done to your engine lol

Mach Boy · August 26th, 2008, 01:34 PM

My engine is stock, internals that is. Internals, heads, cams all stock. I have an intake, water pump, and UDPs but I wouldn't call those engine mods.

Mach Boy · August 26th, 2008, 01:34 PM

Oh and the intake spacer.

armymike63b · August 26th, 2008, 01:37 PM

ok guys what kinda spark plugs, wires, and should i get coil packs

Mach Boy · August 26th, 2008, 01:37 PM

BTW that's all I plan on doing to this motor. I have bigger plans but I don't be able to do them for a few years.

Mach Boy · August 26th, 2008, 01:39 PM

No on the coil packs. Spark plugs... I think I have Bosch iridiums but I've heard NGK iridiums are better. You really can't go wrong with the plugs.

Mach Boy · August 26th, 2008, 01:40 PM

Update your garage so we can help you a little better with your modding.

armymike63b · August 26th, 2008, 02:36 PM

ok its updated.....what kinda wires should i get and what size

03MachMe · August 26th, 2008, 03:29 PM

you can do UDPs all you want but to me its not worth the risk for the like 5hp you might gain. yea some ppl may have been just fine and others have had their motors go down right after they put them on so its up to you i just wouldnt do it personally

Like spark plug wires?

We have a COP (coil on plug) set-up. Spark plug wires are a thing of the past.

Oh and 400 "cheap and easy": Nitrous.

I've never heard of an engine going because of UDP's, who, what where did this happen too. I'm ready to wave the flag at will.

03 R Code · August 26th, 2008, 06:19 PM

I think the engine failure is blamed mostly on the oil pump giving up because of the UDP's. And in those cases it's still speculation from the people who it's happened to. They may have just done this mod when the oil pump went and that's the only thing they could think to blame it on, besides of their heavy right foot.

1StockGT · August 26th, 2008, 07:28 PM

Like others in this thread have said, just save your money and go s/c.

nikbait · August 26th, 2008, 09:19 PM

NOS FTW

My dad has nos on his 66 fastback, man oh man did that car GOOOO.

Go to mach 1 registry and see the huge thread (sticky) they have warning those against them. I have yet to find one car with enough evidence to point the finger at the steeda UDP's as a culprit. There have been cases where some of the units were out of round. That could definitely cause heavy vibration, but until then my educated guess is still aimed at those who push their vehicle RPM's above normal levels or levels that a steeda pulley can't dampen properly.

futureMACH1racer · August 27th, 2008, 12:18 AM

I run Steeda's and I don't believe half of the shit in the Mach 1 Registry. There is some wacky bs in there.

armymike63b · August 27th, 2008, 12:27 AM

yeah i agree lol
