Insight about mods for new owner of 91' Stealth please.

[kordjk1]

Hey, how's it going everyone, I just picked up a black 91 dodge stealth with 107k mi about a week ago. I LOVE the car so far and am excited about the future, also I never want to go back to a n/a vehicle.. I'm obviously new to the community so please bear with me. I came here because this is the place to talk with people who know these vehicles best.
I had it taken to a shop to get looked at before i purchased it and they said there were no major problems just needs new timing belt, almost time for 120kmi tune-up etc. (I don't really trust their inspection). The car came w/ magnaflow exhaust but that's about the extent of the mods minus tint, deck, etc.
I'm looking into getting a BOV and most likely intake(should I replace the original plastic hose w/ aluminum one--> intake?) . I'm not going to go too crazy just a few things, and definitely an upgraded sound system. I plan to take the car in for an estimate to get it back 100% as possible before doing any mods but I was hoping you might have some suggestions when it comes to brands, order of installation, and things of that nature. I know I need to use better fuel, oil, etc and was also wondering what kind?

K&N FIPK for the intake, they dont make cold air intakes for turbo cars. and for a bov it depends on what you want. open atmosphere, closed loop, loud, quiet. if you want loud open atmosphere you can do somthing like the TurboXS RFL but i would suggest staying away from that since they seem to leak, another open choice is the HKS SSQV. it is one of the best on the market and in my opinion sound great. if your going closed loop you should go with the 1gen DSM or the evo bov, also teh HKS SSQV is possible to use in aclosed loop mode by buying the adapter... i personally am using the Greddy RS, its an open atmosphere and sounds great. not too loud but is very noticable.
for upgrades the best way to go is intake, bov, 3gen lifters if yours are ticking, boost controller(electronic or manual), Walboro 255 pump or the supra pump, and a downpipe. along with those i would recommend getting rid of that nasty wheel gap and do KYB suspension with tein s.techvlowering springs or coilovers.
its all in what your looking for and up to you with what you want.
the fuel i know my car personally love sunoco premium and for oil i use Q full synthetic. Mobil One is another widely used brand for oil.

Awesome, thanks for the info. As for the BOV I want something that sounds great, but isn't too loud..Your Greddy RS sounds like it may be right. I was also interested in getting a short shifter after I drove a co-workers STI. Amazing....If anyone still has suggestions let me know

My suggestion is always the Evo 8 BOV. It's 35 bucks, works and sounds great. For the rest of it, this is what I was told when I first started posting here....

Here are a few basic performance suggestions. If you already know them just ignore them

1. Datalogger [Increase boost safely]

2. Manul Boost controller ... [EBC if you can afford it.]

3. A real boost gauge...[The stock gauge is trash and will get you in trouble if you raise your boost.]

4. Gut pre cats [Faster Turbo spool]

5. Replace main cat with test pipe. [Faster Turbo spool]

6. [NGK BCP7ES] Copper plugs set at .030 [Prevent spark blow out]

7. MSD 8.5 mm wires [Prevent spark blow out]

8. K&N air intake

9. Pressure test your car and repair all boost leaks here is how to do it. [Please don't blow this one off it is very important and if you have leaks you are throwing H/P away.] http://www.supercar-engineering.com/...T/IntPresTest/

10. Good quality down pipe. No ebay unless anoher memember has bought the same pipe and can recommend it. Most ebay DP's have fitment problems. [I like the 3sx down pipe]

11. The Y pipe won't help preformance at below 20PSI boost but it does make the engine look better.

12. Stock clutch in good condition should handle the above mods

13. The Above mods with very good driving can get you a 12.XX sec time slip..
