Tips for Customizing Import Tuners
Overview
Have you added a massive spoiler, spent on flashy taillights, and adorned your car with VTEC stickers, but it still lacks speed? We understand your frustration, and we’re here to offer some valuable tips.
Foundation First
When building your custom Import Tuner, starting with a solid foundation is crucial. Modifications like lowering, stiffening, and boosting are far more effective on a well-chosen base car. Here are some considerations:
- Choose Wisely: Popular models, like Honda Import Cars, offer reputable engines and tuning potential. However, newer models might lack the unique double-wishbone suspension, and front-wheel drive can limit potential performance upgrades.
- Opt for Rear or All-Wheel Drive: If speed is your goal, consider rear-wheel or all-wheel-drive vehicles. These offer better handling and are more enjoyable to drive. Plus, they open up possibilities for drifting. Consider models like the Mazda Miata, Toyota MR2, or Nissan 350Z.
- Keep it Light: Weight affects every aspect of vehicle dynamics, from acceleration to handling. Starting with a lighter vehicle enhances the impact of future modifications.
Upgrades to Consider
When it's time to upgrade, focus on the following:
- Turbochargers: Turbochargers are pivotal for increased speed, enhancing both horsepower and torque. While superchargers offer similar benefits, they are generally less efficient.
- Engine Breathing Enhancements: Once the engine is fortified, consider upgrading intake and exhaust components, such as cams, headers, and mufflers, to maximize performance.
- Suspension Upgrades: Feel free to go as firm as you can handle, but ensure shocks are compatible with springs to avoid frequent hitting of bump stops. Avoid cutting springs for lowering.
- Wheel and Tire Selection: Bigger wheels improve handling but can affect ride comfort and durability. Avoid tires with an aspect ratio under 40 and all-season low-performance options. Opt for tires with a speed rating of H (130 MPH) or higher.
- Brake Enhancements: Bigger rotors can improve braking but focus on quality over size to avoid extra unsprung mass. Upgrading from rear drums to discs or using vented discs can improve heat resistance and stopping power.
- Gears and Final-Drive Ratio: Adjusting these can boost torque and responsiveness, though it may reduce fuel efficiency and top speed.
- Engine Size for Torque: If low-speed power is your priority, consider a vehicle with a larger engine, as small tweaks won’t significantly enhance low-end torque.
- Spoilers and Aerodynamics: Avoid using wings unless necessary for rear-drive cars at high speeds. Instead, consider body-attached spoilers that enhance airflow without adding drag.
By following these tips, you can transform your import tuner into a performance powerhouse, ensuring every modification contributes to a better, faster ride.
