Besides turbos and exhaust, what outher products are out there for the tC to add more power?

 

header, intakes

 

type r badges

 

 

a short shifter will make you quicker but w/o gains in hp

 

The hell dont listen to these people...NOS...

 

no prob....


just drop in a cummins turbo diesel V10 engine.

 

Thanks for all the good advice, it's be sooooo help full

But I'm still curious, besides turbos, SC, headers, air intakes, exhaust, what else is there?

 

port and polish the head, nitrous a new intake manifold and a vvti controller (when ever it comes out)

 

Thanks, thats the kind of thing I'm looking for.

 

underdrive pully and light weight fly wheel also and i think there might be an lsd out to it wont give you more power but it will help with your launch's

 

I think one of the best upgrades for HP would be to re-tune the ECU. I've seen places that have 'reprogrammers'.

Imagine getting rid of that 127 cut out, having the VVT kick in early, etc.

 

i remember a thread about a vvt controler
anyone remember that?

 

forged pistons would help.

 

i dont realy think forged pistons would help unless they had a longer stroke would they?

 

forged pistons would only help handle more power. higher compression pistons would add more power, but forget adding forced induction.

 

MAN I KNOW WHAT IM TELLING YOU

NOS

 

NOS is a company, its like saying... buy an HKS and your car will go faster.

intakes, headers, port polish, upgraded transmission, LSD, bigger injectors [when you have more power], fuel pump[ when you have more power], bored throttle body, and a reprogrammed ECU. of course there is Nitrous Oxide, but i'd prefer to stay away from that.

 

nitrous seems safe to me a couple of comapnys are running large shots on tc and havent had any issues besides the intake manifold being to week but that is why i listed it as an upgrade part also the throttle body's dynod only 1 hp it doesnt seem worth it to me unless you have f/i on your car then it will probly show bigger gains

 

No need to strengthen your bottom end unless you are boosting really...

forged pistons with low compression will mean you can run more boost safely...

if someone makes high compression pistons then you can make more NA power but then will have to run a higher octane...

changing the final drive gear will make a big difference in acceleration but lower your top end...

can always port / polish but motors today are pretty well made...
