Cheap and effective 323 Mods Help

[scrowetom]

Hello,
I am just wondering about what i should do to improve/increase the performance and possibly the look of my stock '02 323 Protege. I was thinking extractors, pod filter and possibly a sport exhaust but i am trying to keep cost to a minimum.

If you guys had any ideas or suggestions please let me know - im Australian by the way, so Australian websites would be appreciated.

Thanks.

To keep the costs low I'd go with a header, exhaust and k&n drop in filter. Those pod filters won't give you any more performance, just sound

Check out mighty car mods for info on pod filters( YouTube )

Could you link me to some cheap yet quality headers? Prefferably in Australia? Oh, and by exhaust, do you mean a full exhaust, or just a muffler?

I couldn't give sites in Aussie land sorry. If you buy a header the. The want to widen the whole exhaust from the header back.

I've been thinking, i want a turbo. I need ALOT of advice. I have a BONE STOCK 1.8L, so could you get me pointing in the right direction. I need to know what the best turbo manifold would be (if these are mandatory) the right size turbo for this small car, and what kind of exhaust i would need. Also, do i need to get an intercooler? Or can i just run the turbo on low lbs and get away with it...?

1.8L DOHC? or SOHC

edit .. boost is NOT a cheap mod

DOHC, and yes i know boost is not cheap, i just want to get quality parts with trying to keep the cost down. $700-$1000 if i have to go more than sure.

you are in australia. cant you just go to a junkyard and get a laser tx3 1.8bpt or 323 gtx motor/turbo setup for cheap? we pay ~$1000 cdn for a gtx longblock/turbo setup here in canada shipped all the way from your end of the world so I bet it wont cost you much at all.

BPTs arent super common in australia. more common than north america, but new zealand is where all the gold is

He has a bj no? Can't he just get an oem setup and be done?
