What all can be done to a lumina?

Bboy_Jon · 10-05-2005, 12:56 AM

Are there any engine mods out there?

Any ways to make it faster or somethin? (do those electronic module things work?)

any cool body kits and tail lights/spoilers and all that?

what can be done?

hello, well you could add some Ventshade visor's...add a bug deflector....add a great Alpine sound system.....just to name a few

you can get a Z34 kit for the sedans but its a little pricey, otherwise not too much. Clear corner lenses, blackout tail lights, Cold air intake, Exhaust.

those are some thing that you normall could do.

there are things for the lumina that can be done, but most of it has to be fabricated ya know?

well, other then putting K&N filter, which have really increased the performance of my car...you can use the blower motor with fan, and put it in the air filter box in a way that it sucks cold air from outside and push it in the engine...

i am currently working on it and making it switchable so whenever i want, i can turn that blower on to get extra performance...
i dont know how much effective it will be but, i am sure it will give a little difference because of the fresh cold air, if not too much.
the reason i have choosed blower motor is that its meant to be running all the time without giving any heatups...and the rpm can be controlled too.

i will post the results once i am done.

Best Regards

i cant find any cold air intakes on ebay

ar e those hard to install?

Make your own. I used the k&n filter part number---E-1009. All I did was take the air box out and the screen that goes inside the maf sensor. Then the filter slipped right ontop of the maf and the filter comes with a clamp. It has a noticeable difference but not huge. And it make the motor sounds great.

This is not my car, but it shows everything I'm trying to explain and is the exact same thing I did.

Have you looked at any of the "electric supercharger" kits avaiable online?

Even their own dyno numbers If believeable, aren't very impressive. and they are claiming 2-3 psi boost. Need a hell of a blower to flow that much air to a motor.

Bboy_Jon · 10-08-2005, 07:41 AM

so the filter (if u mod it) wont be used as a filter?

and jefco does ure lumina not have door handles? pretty hot

richtazz · 10-08-2005, 10:35 AM

those "electric Superchargers" are JUNK. They do absolutely nothing. Ok, so they produce moving air, but how do they create pressure? They don't, so their claims are horse-doody. CAI, free up the exhaust, re-calibrated PCM, that's about it.

Bboy_Jon · 10-08-2005, 10:40 AM

Should i get this?

NeonKnight · 10-08-2005, 03:34 PM

Dont believe everthing you hear, otherwise your cash falls right out of your pockets and your left with a paper weight.

nimbyfaygo · 10-08-2005, 03:45 PM

Now this might not actually work, I guy thats helping me on my lumina, he has a 92 euro 3.1 that the ECM went bad on.
Well he replaced the prom chip with one out of an Oldsmobile 98 with a 3.8L
We don't have time slips, but his is close to twice as fast as mine.
And will leave a good 20ft stripe on the road!

I'm prepared to get shot down now!

Bboy_Jon · 10-08-2005, 10:43 PM
