Well, you can take your pick on Intakes. I personally went with Place racing's CAI with the K&N actual air filter but some say the regular intake works for them. Your Choice.... Y-pipe will add good power as well freeing up some restriction. You can then go B-pipe and Cat ( adds a little power but everything helps). Spark plugs must be changed. You can then add either a Supercharger or Turbo depending on what you wanna spend. Dude just check out www.customaxima.com!!!

What about propaine? I head that can give a 25-33% boost in power since it help cool the engine down.

get a turbo, y-pipe, exhaust, intake, new ecu(obviously), udp, flywheel, you will be able to get around(or over) 300fwhp for that much cash

Propane on a Diesel is like NOS on a gasoline engine.
Go y-pipe - Budget Exhaust in Canada, high flow cat and cat back exhaust, and a CAI, this package is a very inexpensive way to get an additional 40 - 50 hp. |

you probably won't get 40-50 hp but you'll get a lot. the budget y adds 18 fwhp and 19 lbs/torque. the intake/exhaust is good for a decent amount more and a freeflow cat really doesn't do shit, maybe a couple horses. it's hard to say how much power you'll get from mods. you can't just add up a bunch of numbers and say that's how much power you have. |

If you are going to put in a new y-pipe and a cat back, you may as well spend the $80 US for a new highflow cat (Budget exhaust), you will probably have to use a torch to remove the rusted connecting bolts and if it is pre 97 there will be a few clogged passageways.
Even though it doesn't do "shit" it is worth doing given the level of changes you undertake doing the exhaust. We disected our 96 and found out 10% of the passageways were clogged. If you want to debate "adding up numbers", then get serious and realize that these exhaust mods do not add any hp to the engine. These mods only let the hp being produced by the engine to be direct towards the wheels rather than against itself. |
