when things happen liek that..people far too often take the car into the dealership for warranty work with the aftermarket piece on the car. there was a law passd a few years ago that states, for a warranty to be voided by an aftermarket performance part, the warranty company must prove beyond any doubt that the aftermarket piece was the DIRECT CAUSE of the issue. i have seen guys drop a 200dry shot onto a stock motor, fry the motor, and take it back to the dealership with the bottle pulled out, and have the engine repair FOC....

"200dry shot onto a stock motor"
Can i ask what this is?
Speaking of Gas mileage.
I'm truly a novice at modifing cars, shoot I just installed my first set of Ignition wires on the 1991 accord and my mpg shot up from 23.5 to 26.04mpg. I was impressed by the change, going to flip out the rotor and cap this weekend.
Thanks,
Doug

200 dry shot into a stock motor..means..
200 dry shot is a measure of nitrous injection...200 means it is a 200hp gain, and dry shot means that there is no fuel added with the nitrous gas upon injection...and into a stock motor, means that there are no internal modifications done to the vehicle, thus it is unable to handle the amount of nitrous injected into the engine.

i thought that an induction kit and exhaust only really show power gains when you have the car chipped afterwards

No, that is wrong. Imagine trying to suck in air from a coffee straw... now imagine sucking air through a Mcdonalds straw. I rest my case.

The more efficiently your engine inhales and exhales air the better your power figures. IE Turbo, exhaust, intakes, headers, etc. They all aid in moving air through the engine as fast as possible. chipping changes how you engines controls it combustion and sometimes alters the max rpm, there are other factors too, but those are the basics.

Also, of course you've heard the colder the intake charge (the air) the more power is yielded inside the combustion chamber. Hence the reason for nitrous shot into the intercooler or the cryogenic intake charge system.

Hot thread Gentlemen: I think I will start with teh AEM V2 Right away, as a reward for doing the belts, FuZion HRi's are in the mail - is there any greater anticipation than waiting for parts? Essencially it sounds like headers, exhaust intake is nice, but really all that work is prep for the installation of a turbo - True? If I were to look at a turbo down the line is there any ENGINE mods I'd need to make outside of what is listed above?

From another "true novice" A: what are the ignition wires, rotor and cap?
B: What does changing them out do for me? (you sparked my interest)
C: What does it cost?
