3g To Spend On Mods... Suggestions? Also Have Question On Turbo-ing My Car :)

xzibit88 · November 27th, 2007, 03:05 PM

was originally saving up/planning up to trade in my v6 for a vr6 gti or jetta... but plans changed and decided to just go all out on my v6 instead..
Saved up more than 3g.. but I'm planning on using about 3g of the savings and save up for a second car. But yeah. Any suggestions on mods???
I am also thinking of boosting the v6 if i will be able to find a kit for cheap.
But yeah.. Is it true that they don't manufacture new kits for 99~04 v6s anymore?? If so, what should I watch for, when ordering used kits from ebay and such?? Or is there another good site for buying used kits?

ait procharger kit

Stang6899 · November 27th, 2007, 03:23 PM

You can still buy turbo kits but its gonna cost you more than 3k. You can supercharge your car for around 2.4k if you want.

xzibit88 · November 27th, 2007, 03:26 PM

guess turbo is outta question for now lol. I read the post regarding boost... and seems like turbo seems to be the way to go tho lol. But yeah. Ebay CAI is already on order, so anything but CAI, give me some suggestions please

Stang6899 · November 27th, 2007, 03:29 PM

Haha well the cai was a waste of money if you're supercharging. You won't be able to use it.

obdnanr · November 27th, 2007, 03:31 PM

I hope the cai was name brand, cause i bought one from ebay and holy crap it is cheap as hell.

Stang6899 · November 27th, 2007, 03:31 PM

You could save up one more grand and get a turbo. Go look on Mustang Body Kits they have one

xzibit88 · November 27th, 2007, 03:44 PM

damn... haha well, what do you guys think would be better anyway... a decent s/c vs decent turbo kit. I just want bang for buck mods. I'm just worried about the detonation part of s/c, as i know nothing about tuning lol. (still learning)
I just know how to put on basic bolt ons (CAI and such) lol. So yeah, if i were to either S/C or turbo and get it tuned professinoally (unless there's a good DIY for either one of them without blowing them =X), how much would it cost for labour and etc?
Or do u guys even suggest following DIY for S/C??

xzibit88 · November 27th, 2007, 03:45 PM

and really... Which one is more vulnerable to problems?

xzibit88 · November 27th, 2007, 03:47 PM

and 6899, i do have more than 3g saved up by the way, just don't wanna spend it

but yeah, if it's worth the money, i'll do it lol.

Stang6899 · November 27th, 2007, 03:59 PM

Supercharger is an easier install. If you do it right I don't think theres 2 many problems on either. I think supercharger is the best bang for the buck. You can get everything for the m112 supercharger kit for around $2400 thats $1600 less than a turbo. Use that $1600 for supporting mods and a bigger pulley

xzibit88 · November 27th, 2007, 04:00 PM

oooo do you have link for that s/c kit??
Just outta curiousity.. What's the difference in 3.8L v6 and 3.9L v6 anyways... Other than the difference in displacement. =/ I do know that there's small hp and tq difference... but can i still use a lot of 3.8L parts for the 3.9L?

xzibit88 · November 27th, 2007, 04:02 PM

Do we have someone that has s/c their v6 in our forum by the way tho?? Cuz i mostly see people who has turboed their cars...

Stang6899 · November 27th, 2007, 04:10 PM

Umm ya theres that 97tuned guy with the puple mustang who has a vortech. havent seen him around much lately. If you wanna know more about that m112 kit talk to mysteed over at 3.8mustang.com - The most popular v6 mustang resource on the web

obdnanr · November 27th, 2007, 04:11 PM

damnit whyd you post that link, those 18x9 chrome rims are lookin niice

Stang6899 · November 27th, 2007, 04:13 PM

Haha what link? The link to my sig or cruizin concepts? If mine they're 17x9's

xzibit88 · November 27th, 2007, 04:14 PM

alright

xzibit88 · November 27th, 2007, 04:17 PM

hmm both the vortech kit and ait kit say 99~03 stangs... Will it still fit my 2004 3.9L tho =X This is why i was sorta questioning about the difference between 3.9L and 3.8L lol

nba1341 · November 27th, 2007, 04:57 PM
