Hello, Long time reader, first time poster.
So it FINALLY happened @ 170,000/mi i blew a HG, I had expected it for a while, But still a pain in the ass. But while my car is down I thought i would capatalize. By capatalize I mean SPEND!
Short version.
What preformance mods can be done while i have the heads off of my ej251?
Here is how far my plan goes:
- All Aluminum Dual Core Radiator. Old one cracked. that's how i found out my HG was blown.
- Seperate tranny oil cooler
- 2 New 14" radiator fans. (Blue of course)
- New Radiator cap
- New OEM thermostat.
- Head Gaskets
This was all i was going to do...the total was going to be about $300.... But then, Me and my buddy were starring at it, Beer in hand, after I had my valve covers off and thought, "If we ever wanted to put hot cams in a car now is the chance.
So plan B:
1. New radiator. and accoutrements. (See Above)
2. New Delta 1500 grind cams.
3. Improved exhaust headers
4. Modified airbox.
My only questions are:
What do you think about my plan? and, What would you add or subtract.
I want to do a Home Depot cold air intake, Pros and cons?
What have you headrd about the Delta 1500's?
Thanks in advance for your reading of my rambling and your replies!
