$4000! what are you building? link it :P
I'd be down for getting in on a group buy! I am planning on getting a CAI and the underdrive pulley to start... anything else that would complement those two mods would be great! I heard some people say getting a less restrictive muffler is beneficial... any interest in that? Or advice on the best way to maximize power on the exhaust end? :)
any muffler that is not 5" wide will do the same, you also want to look into xaio's header as well

I will probably go with less expensive components in particular situations.
But I don't weld, so I am adding extra expenditures in other areas.
Yeah just by looking at the list, he used some expensive stuff, but that would be pretty cool to do
Ya, he did. Ordered the exhaust manifold. Think I am gonna start off with the AEM management and piggyback wiring first.
Everyone goes with the AEM wideband O2 (who I know). IS there a better or less expensive option?
just check the parameters of the o2.
i think the primary obd2 or an obd1 aba or vr6 o2 can be used as a wide band (something like that).. research?
any thoughts on a full set of lightweight pulley kit? a/c bypass pulley? noone makes them in the aftermarket yet because even the 04-07's are too "new"...
It can be done...
a/c bypass is already done, as the car is sold without a/c. So you would just need the belt, and "different" factory pieces if there are any..Quote:

I personally am going to eliminate my power steering, i am hoping it nets a 5-10 hp difference, which will be lost again since i installed ac. but comfort for the kids is more important than performance. Looking at the system it would be easier on the first gen than the second, but as long as i can find the appropriate secondary serp belt in the length i need, it can be done. If not, maybe i will pull the a/c too, and not need that belt at all.
any ideas on where i can find a bypass pulley?
i am not sure there is a pulley added, i think its just a shorter belt (is on my 09)
Oh, hey! Rabbit! :) Taking out power steering... that's something else I've thought about doing! Those are some decent gains! Um... Just wanted to say that. I intend to figure out whether my car has it or not, first. :p ;) :D
I would believe that our cars do have power steering. But then again, I never really paid attention.Quote:

HaHa! I'm already on it! ;) I asked someone earlier what they spent on their setup! :D This car's my new "hobby"... I say that being a lot more knowledgeable on the subject of addiction(s) than cars! :) I am curious about what all can be done, and how much difference it makes!
I think I might have one of these off my junked engine. PM me if you're interested.Quote:

less power loss from not have power steering, and a turbo for more power :)
i have been thinking about if i take the pulley off, and cant run the ac because of that, i could use the power steering pulley on a Mini cooper supercharger, and mount it in the power steering position. I would still need all the other stuff, but the belts would be figured out. and i think the pulley might be an acceptable size for the speed. (or too big, so mount it higher with stock pulley)
If you are talking about an A/C bypass I have one on the used motor I am installing which will have my a/c so I won't need it. If Daox doesn't have it PM me.
This is just a theory I've been going over, since reading about the grounding kit; while maybe having little or no impact on an unmodified aveo, is this a time when they'd come into play even more? If you are trying to run the accessories on a bare minimum of power? Like, would one of those make the demands of the underdrive pulley even less? Just wondering... interesting stuff! :)
i haven't read about the grounding kit yet but i really like this power steering bypass idea - what about bypassing/removing the pump and swapping a smaller pinion gear so we can still parallel park?
the turning ratio would be the same. you would just need to remove the power assist components from the rack to make it easy to turn.
didn't know that the the turning ratio would be the same.. now i see this had already been discussed recently here. i will be installing the underdrive pulley soon, and I am interested in removing the power steering components too if its doable for a beginner - just makes sense, but thats another topic
Anybody know what the part number for Dorman is for the a/c bypass pulley? It's already on my car and the bearing is starting to go. I've been looking for the part number for this part but can't find it anywhere.
