upgrading a 4 cylinder?

[TibChick19]

I was gonna upgrade the hp on my car but my bro iz all telln me you can't really upgrade it. And if I tryed it wouldn't be worth it. And then his friend comes a long saying I can upgrade it, might not be as good as upgrading a v6 but still worth it. lol so who's right? I havn't done anything to it yet so it's still I believe 140hp? or sumptin like that. Just tell me what ya'll think. thx

tell your brother he is a moron. you might not see as much of a hp gain with certain parts as you would see on a v8, but it is the weight difference between a car with a I4 and a car with a v8 that will prove just as beneficial. especially if you slap a turbo on the motha.

I also heard you can't put a turbo on a 4 cyl. car

please hit whoever told you that in the face with a hammer.

Never take advice about your car from whoever told you that ever again.

Seriously

well, your brothers right... you "can't" turbo charge a 4cyl because if you did you'd be spanking his A$$ in the 1/4! LMAO

what?
im alil confused



you can easily tune an i-4 (4 cylinder)
more than a v6 cause teh i-4 has more potential and can take more of a beating.. theres like 8 million threads with this info in it

[tibby01]
