Answer 1

Save your money for college. Smart, rich nerds get way more women than hamburger-eating dudes with a cool car.
Besides...
...Silly rabbit, 4 cyl toys are 4 kids!

Answer 2

i build performance cars for a living first of all get rid of the 4" exhaust not enough back pressure and u loose low end torque and for a four cyclinder horsepower is easy to make its torque thats hard that is why they are not fast. first let me recommend that if u want to go FAST go to ebay type drag car for ur search and watch what comes up it will be nothing but V8 chevy and ford they only true way to go fast. but if ur bent on ur mitsu thats fine but it would help to know ur budget and understand that i can go get a stock 97 or 98 mustang and spend about 1500 bucks and ur car without serious money in it like say around 7 to 8k will never get within 10 car lengths of that mustang. but if u have lets say 1 to 2k to spend here is what u do change ur exhaust to either a 2" or a 2and a half get ur low end grunt back then put a full length tube header on the car. then if budget still allows call up vex and order there fuel injection nitrous kit for 600 shipped install the kit with a 60 shot or 50 shot nothing more or u can damage the car then order up cam gears so u can retard the timing 2 degrees to compensate for the nitrous then do a tune up run a one stage colder spark plug and get a good set of wires and a good coil make sure ur spark is good then change the fuel filter and the car should run a low 15 high 14 on that. but for that mustang i can change gears from stock 3.27 to 4.1 for 200 in parts order a shift kit or short throw shifter for either an automatic or manual tranny doesnt matter for 200 in parts put that same vex kit in it with a 125 shot tune the motor fuel filter spark plugs wires and order a timing adjuster to compensate the nitrous and the car will run on nitto 555r drag radials in the quater 12.8 et's all day long and ull never get near it. OH i know this because i have built the mustang never did touch the exhaust system prolly could have got the car into 12.50 with exhaust maybe.

Answer 3

You could put a smaller exhaust on for better performance for one thing. A 4" exhaust on a 4 cyl. will hurt performance. Even on a bigger engine it lets atmospheric pressure into the exhaust system. I have a V8 and a 3" is pushing it. A semi or a vehicle with a hell of a turbo might use a 4". Other things you could try would be forced induction, headers, fuel injectors, bigger cam, new heads with bigger valves, new internally balanced crank with lightweight pistons and rods for more RPMs. Possibilities are endless assuming you have the money.

Answer 4

4 inch exhaust on a 4 cylinder?!!! What an incredibly pointless way to try and improve performance on a 4 cyl. and it probably did more harm than good if indeed you could even find a 4 inch exhaust system for a 4 banger. Best take it to someone who knows even the tiniest bit about cars if you want to gain any kind of performance.

Answer 5

Any Japanese or German or Korean automobile with 270HP-330HP can achieve as much as 155mph. Today, so much V6 engines in Japanese autos make that vigour and achieve that ruled restrained velocity. 155mph. Any Porsche can without problems achieve 160mph. Even the slowest and most cost-effective, the Porsche Boxster. For American autos, you want 400HP autos to arrive a hundred and fifty mph without problems. They want extra vigour since they're commonly much less aerodynamic and heavier. Example: The 300HP Mustang GT handiest reaches 146mph. Honda S2000 Nissan 350z Mazda RX-eight and RX-7. Saturn Sky Redline Pontiac Solstice GXP Pontiac GTO Ford Mustang GT500 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Nissan Maxima New Honda Accord V6 and Nissan Altima V6 and Toyota Camry V6. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo or Eclipse GT Subaru Impreza WRX or Subaru Impreza WRX STI. VW R32 VW Passat V6.

Answer 6

Ask any rice-boy...

Paint it yellow. Adds 10 hp.

Stickers, lots of stickers from racing parts companies. 10 hp.

Big wheels with really low profile tires, and slam it. Then add the body kit, you know, ground effects and the big wing on back. Makes it ever so aerodynamic, and it's really cool to see the sparks fly when you bottom out.

You've already got the fart pipe...10 hp.

Answer 7

4" exhaust for that motor is pointless. You dont need that much flow. 4" is even big for turbo.

Do easy stuff first. Plug wires, short ram, tubular headers, stuff like that. It would be a waste to get too serious about that car and go out and get an exhaust manif + turbo.

Answer 8

Hey dude, dump your 4 cyl. Get you a Corvette like I did, Vroooooooooommmm 0-60 in 4.7 secs baby!

Answer 9

Transplat it with an mitsubushi evo 3 or 4 engine!!

Answer 10

put a V6/V8/V10/V12,with twin turbos,,NOS kit, iridium spark plugs, msd ignition coil with controller, MSD cables, KnN air intake lie allow wheels, thinner soft compund tyres, stifeened shocks, loewered chasis,,headers with pri n sec eshaust syste(mecahchrome),,,,n most important,,,,a filled wallet n filled up gas tank,,,,(more power less mileage more $ to fill gas)

havfun
take care
