Major_Tom Posted March 7, 2004 Report Posted March 7, 2004 Ok, I need some cheap ideas for mods to do. I have a 96 GP with the 3100 I have a UD pulley on the way to me. I have a custom exhaust, and K&N intake. I have Quad buckets on the interior Any suggestions? Quote

gp90se Posted March 7, 2004 Report Posted March 7, 2004 the 96 year sucked for mods, first year of the OBD2 and I dont think theres a chap for it, in 97 they put the roller rockers into the 3100. you already are letting the engine breath, might wanna go with a 50 shot or using some sort of boost. -Jeff Quote

gp90se Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 juice is the cheapest power added dollar for dollar. ya cars get cold air, breathing thru exhaust 2.25 manderl bent or bigger and have a high flow cat, theres not much else you can do to the 96 3100. yank the plunum off with the throttle body and port/polish it. Have you done basic maintinace to it, oil change, spark plugs, wires, top end cleaner? -Jeff Quote

But, finding a set of them would be a realatively cheap mod. Find the 1.6 rollers from 3400s and you'd be set Quote
Major_Tom Posted March 8, 2004 Author Report Posted March 8, 2004 I don't got them, My car was made in 95 (it is a 96 year model though), I have all the info on it. Quote
cutlassdude96 Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 96's already have roller rockers, it was the late 95's that got the notches in them Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 might try getting an Addco 7/8" rear sway bar. that thing makes ALOT of difference and isn't that expensive either. unfortunately i broke an inner hanger and can't use mine joshua Quote
90TGP Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 You can stop by your local GM dealer and ask for a 98+ Buick K-Bar. It's a front strut tower brace. You'll have to drill two holes on each side of your front strut towers into the tower plates [they're black]. It's easy to do if you have a drill with a good bit. You can also use the same bar for the rear. I believe this is the parts number for it: Part# 12456148 You can also get the GM Performance Parts tubular rear trailing arms from your local GM dealer. They are for the newer W-Body's, but they will fit your car. They are MUCH stronger then the cheap factory stamp steal junk you have on right now. Part# 12498649. You'll need two of them. Quote
Major_Tom Posted March 8, 2004 Author Report Posted March 8, 2004 already got the front, and I'm gonna make one for the rear out of some steel piping I have. Quote
99RegalGS Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 Put in a Dimming Rearview mirror with compass and Temp. Quote
Robby1870 Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 already got the front, and I'm gonna make one for the rear out of some steel piping I have. I made a rear STB out of a 92 Bonneville SSEi FRONT STB. I just had to get a 2in longer connector bar and cut the two mount pieces just a little. Its a VERY strong bar. I got a couple of pics....although no not very good Quote
913_4se Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 I said cheap, boys ;-) a long peice of hose on the air charge senser run it to the front of the car out of the heat i dont know if it realy works but heard it does Quote

C-REX Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Port and polish intake = $120 bigger injectors = $55 bucks for 3 Quote
gp90se Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 C-Rex, where you pull numbers from is beond me concitering I do my own port/polishing work with a dremmel tool, and the junkyard charges $25 for 6 injectors. BTW, Bigger fuel injectors on a 3100 is not a great idea becuase without reprogramming the chip, you might actually foul plugs. Go home -Jeff Quote
