I have a 94 ls in my 94 sedan..
What could make it go faster.. I was told changing the injectors and the fuel rail but is there other things I can do?
I don't wanna waste to much money on the engine

changing the injectors and fuel rail wouldnt make it any faster, just add more fuel and make it run real rich, which isnt healthy for the engine.

The simplest power adders are intake, header, and exhaust. after that theres cams, and then engine building and turbo/ supercharge

or you could spray nitrous :twisted:

cheapest way to make it go faster is gutting the interior which is free.

If its a straight b18b1(94 LS) swap. Swapping your transmission will give you the biggest gain in acceleration out of any one option(Besides nitrous)

Swapping to a B16 or GSR Transmission will greatly help acceleration. However it will be a higher RPM when going the same speed as before so get less fuel economy.

For Cheap Mods, as Dippin already posted is Intake, Header and Exhaust.

You can get a better intake manifold(such as Skunk2) or have your car chipped and tuned once you get a few mods to help make power.

I wanna do the exhaust but I don't want anything too loud.. What would be a good exhaust that would not be too loud

yea apexi is good....

or you could run a header, high flow cat, semi larger midpipe for flow and a stock muffler. pretty much what im running on my d15b7 and i dont really have a high flow cat just a straight pipe and it sounds sweet

i think your unsure of what you really want. you wanna go faster but spend as little as possible? then ebay is your friend. 20buck you can get a crome intake, like 100 bucks for some cheap header, and like 100 bucks for a bolt on muffler. if you want legit stuff like aem, apexi, dc sports, etc. and stuff that really works, well better brake out your wallet cause its not cheap.

Get a Custom Exhaust set up then. Go to a Muffler shop and have them make the pipe for you. Get 2.25" or 2.5" Exhaust with a Resanotor or two as well as a Turbo Muffler.

This will make your car about as quiet as stock in low revs. Then in your higher revs it will be a little bit louder with a deeper tone. It Will sound good. The Higher revs will be louder then stock, however not to loud.

Buddy of mine has this setup in his LS/VTEC EG Hatch. The Turbo Muffler looks like an OEM Muffler only smaller with a Bigger outlet. If you want a Quite setup, This is a good one.

Prices will depend on the shop that does your work. My Friends pipe was around $300. Which for a nice Quite Custom Exhaust is not a bad price at all. It even had mandrel bends instead of just bent pipe.

Combine that with a Ebay Cold Air Intake and an Ebay Header you will have a nice quite more powerful setup for less then $500. Make sure you leave your stock cat in place, It will help make your car quite. When you take them out your exhaust will also stink. Really sucks when you park in garage to have stinky exhaust. That Gets old quick.
