- Change the transaxle lube to Redline MT-90
- Do an engine flush and change to a high quality synthetic oil and Wix oil filters
- Change to steel braided brake cables
- Install an oil cooler
- Change to polyurethane bushings
- Install a large gauge ground distribution kit
- Re-wire alternator, starter, and fuse box to battery leads with 4 gauge or 2 gauge cable
- Install a voltage stabilizer
- Install an oil catch can
- Install real gauges so that you can monitor oil pressure, oil temp, coolant temp, and voltage
- Install a wideband O2 sensor and gauge to monitor actual air/fuel ratio to ensure that it's where you want it to be
That's about all I could think of in a few minutes. |
Thanks man, yeah all of that stuff i never would thought of. Just a couple.
I really do appreciate the advice.
Ill be sure to take wut you said and do some research so that in the future I can start work on this stuff.
You just answered my question exactly as far as reliability mods go, now if I may ask, what should i start with when I begin to work on performance mods. How I should go about installing the parts and the best way to purchase them such as: where would be best to purchase and who the best companies are to purchase these parts.
Thanks,
Johno
