  • Getting ready for spray.

    My car has 110k on it, and i wanna spray it [img]smile.gif[/img]

    In order to prepare for the fouled plugs, i'm going to install tubular manifolds from a 2000 car later on this week, but is there anything else I can do?

    I want a NX wet kit, would that require me removing my MAF screen, and if so, wouldn't it be a good idea to just port my tb and run a 99+ MAF? (my car runs like arse with the screen off)

    Also, my A4 has never been rebuilt, should I do that as a precaution? Keep in mind, if something big like tranny or rear end (which i already plan on replacing) goes kaboom and I don't have the $$$ right then to replace it, i'm walking till I do.

    Advice is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    Rebuild the tranny or have the money to do it before you spray lol

      or just keep the shot low like a 50 shot, tranny should be fine then unless your tranny is already slipping

        I would be more worried about the rear end.. I have over 120,000 on my tranny and it is fine.. Its a T5 but still.. I have had a 100 shot or more on my car for 7 months now.. My rear went out about 2 months ago.. I would get a T/A cover just to reinforce the rear end.. Get some NGK TR6 plugs, maybe a walbro 255 pump and spray away!!

            my camaro only has 53K miles on it and im thinking about spraying and if i do im replacing the rods, bearings, and pistons. And ill keep it low around a 50-75 shot. Im 16 and if something brakes i wont have the $$$ to fix it.

            i was watching horsepower tv today on spike and they had a civic and sprayed it and there like "wow 130 horsepower...thats 33 more than we had before"...anyone else see that i thought it was funny

              over a 30% increase in horsepower off what I'm guessing is a "50 shot" I'd be happy with that.
