Performance Mods for my 1999 SSEi
Well, since I am buying the 1999 SSEi I thought I'd see what I can do for mods.
Currently here'* what I have to put on it
Magnaflow Wide Open Muffler 3" inlet/dual 2.5 outlets
CAI
Header wrap to put on crossover pipe just below the TB
Tranny cooler
180* T-stat drilled 1/8 x 2
Remove MAF screen from TB
Remove resonator
Will be getting shortly:
NGK V-Power TR6 plugs
Taylor Spiro-Pro 8mm wires -blue
MSD coil packs
Smaller SC pulley (what size??)
Water/alcohol injection? <-- is it ok to do this with a SC?
Your suggestions (low dollar mods please)
What other mods can I do for low dollar?
If I end up having to swap the SC for a new one I will get the lower intake ported.
With the mods I already have and the ones that will be going on the car very shortly what do you all think I should be running in the 1/4? Would 14.3-14.6'* be an accurate guess?
Thanks in advance,
Martin

Magnaflow Wide Open Muffler 3" inlet/dual 2.5 outlets (3" is too big)
180* T-stat drilled 1/8 x 2 (go with 1/16", not 1/8")
NGK V-Power TR6 plugs (too cold until you've done the pulley....use TR55)
Smaller SC pulley (what size??) (3.6 or 3.4 at the most without other mods)
Water/alcohol injection? <-- is it ok to do this with a SC? (yes, but very expensive)

A friend with a GMC Typhoon has a new water/aclohol injection kit that he will sell me for $90, so I figured I would pick that up and install it.

With your CAI, exhaust, and pulley, and the others you should be into 14'*. I think if you kept the stock tubing, but added a coupler or flare it to 3" you should be fine.

I don't know where you would get a 3.6" pulley, but if it is available, it isn't worth putting on. Go with a 3.5" at the largest, and since you are planning on doing mods, you really should go with a 3.4, or at least plan on swapping it out for a 3.4 soon, because it doesn't take THAT many mods to run a 3.4.
