ugpbmx Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 well the whole engine swap thing is down the road. what would you recomend for adding power if any to my stock D15B? besides turbo. exhaust & cai always come to mind . yea im definitely looking into a nice header. possibly new cold air intake. I know i need a new filter lol. just need some inexpensive things to add a little more umph. I dont want to drop a ton of money into it then do a total engine swap lol MY TRUCK BUILD - 1976 F-100 Ranger.

tonedeaf Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Whatever you put on the stock d engine you can just remove and get most of your money back by parting out. Full exhaust, new intake, quality filter all come to mid. New spark plugs and wires to liven her up and maybe an oil change if it sat for a long time. I'd sea foam it and after 100 miles change plugs, wires, and oil/oil filter, then new short cam/cold air intake and filter. Reset your ecu and that will all really give her some life back I'm sure. Then if you want full exhaust/header, but I wouldn't dabble in all that if you plan on the engine swap anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok great, I have done the oil change already it was sitting for almost 2 years. i would like to get some nice plug wires maybe some taylor 10mm lol. and a decent header. I agree that im not going to go to far in depth with the aftermarket parts until i do the swap. thank you very much for all the help. MY TRUCK BUILD - 1976 F-100 Ranger.

bmph8er Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 depending on what motor is in it (looks like a d15b7 to me) you may wanna look into a A6 cam and Y8 cam gear. it adds a good amount of low end power. for more info on that motor check www.d-series.org most of the time u can get the cam and gear and put it in for less then 125 and it will add more then any header intake or exhaust. also theres no need for a retune 2001 gmc seirra 5.3 auto 3.73 locked rear, long tube headers, offroad y pipe, duals, cai, black bear tune, 2/4 drop, 22s, rockford fosgate mods and highs and 4 ab hd 15s and a ab 750.1 1995 civic 1.5 auto slower then hell, dropped on coil overs, ex hub caps, 2 12 trunk, have 450 bucks in the car and gets 35 mpg 1992 s10 being bagged, shaved, and small stereo. right now a pile of parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
