Hey,

i got a 1996 Daewoo Cielo and i want to add to the mods. I already have a talon Front spoiler and side skirts the rear will be completed in the next few months. And i have a T - Wing i picked up cheap out of the sunday times. What can i do to the engine to give it some more go, on a tight budget? :wassup:

Lets make this thing deadly!!!! :ghost:

First of all, Welcome to SAU :) especially NA section.

with your question, do some research on Korean based tune site... I doubt they are in english... :D

with faster time, simple answer is less weight :) so start loosing weight in your car or your self :P

Good luck.

btw Thanks for buying Korean car :P you are supporting my ppl. :P kinda :P

get an RB!!!

similar concepts apply to all cars - In my opinion skylines in particularly from 32 onwards, breathe alot better. I do not know about the Daewoo but in my camry, the

air filter is placed behind the battery in the engine bay, and the snorkel doesnt even

get any fresh cool air from the front. But with the funny angles and the positioning of

the airbox, it is simply impossible to install a pod filter.

The best you can do is probably change the panel airfilter and exhaust. There isnt too much

modification wise that you can do without spending mega bucks to get small power gains.

Try to make it breathe alot better, or like Pva_Glue says - just strip the car.

As to why your on an skylines forum - dunno - they may have a Daewoo forum with

others who may be able to help you better. But the concept is still quite relative.

or you can try to use nitrous.

If your serious about making it deadly and are on a tite budget, loose all ur seats mate.. LOL except the drivers side ofcourse, loose all the panels basically just have the necessities, and if u got a spare 1000 - 2000 in ur budget start with extractors , a 2.5" exhaust system and a new air filter

My mate told me i would get more power if i removed the air filter, so i removed it and went to clark rubber and got some flexible piping i screwed to the bottom of the front spoiler for a cold air intake. It makes a bit of a turbo noise now, yay! :P

I also went to the extreme of removing the headers and cutting it just before the cat. It gives it some extra watts and makes a nice noise, but its slightly too loud and too illegal so i will have to figure something out, in the mean time i will just enjoy what i have.

As for weight reduction is there anything else other than the seats i can remove???

so let me get this straight...

1. you removed your air filter and ran a pipe from down low right into your intake system

2. you cut your exhaust just before the cat

WTF!!!

obviously your taking the piss....

IF your not - WTF are you thinking?????

water/dust/dirt will be getting sucked into your motor for a start - you need some form of filtration ffs mate!!!!

and not only is it HIGHLY illegal to do what you did to your exhaust system (not only sound emissions but having no CAT - someone told me fine is well over 100 thousand dollars...) but you have now taken your horse power from 50HP to 20, nice work :P

the engine needs back pressure mate - you may as well get a PHAT 4" exhaust system and slap on this puppy if your going to cut it off.....same thing will happen - no back pressure = power loss

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By Milkmun · Posted

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.

      Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.

      It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
